news item he would accompany "a
third-rate pugilist to his cheap board

Mr.. Davis recently "who was a char
acter, wit, a man of no mean intel

boarding house, a typical boarding
house, one Of those where the landlady
sits at the head of the table and serves
the dishes to the submissive pensioners
ranged in two lines below her.
my friend got piece of steak that
was full of gristle. Finding this steak
intolerably tough, he began to amuse
us all with burlesque attempts at carv-
ing it. He turned back his cuffs and
carved. Then he took off his coat.
Then he held his knife like chisel and
pretended to hammer the handle with
a biscuit.

had been too busy serving to notice the
pugilists antics. Now she spoke up.

Washington. Dec. 26--Speaker Cannon
was one of the callers the White House
to-day. lie desired simply to pay his
Christmas greetings to the President but
was obliged 10 defer them as the Prcs-
dent had gone to the country for a long
horseback ride. The speaker was in eX-
cellent spirits and talked with his news
paper friends in a characteristic way.
"rhcy say things are not now like they
were III the old DAYS. that We are becOm-
ing aristocrats; that there is no longer
honesty in legislative bodies; that there
is no ability at the bar: that we are liable
to become Il monarchy; that some strong
man is liable to rise up and dominate
everybody.
| But. | say that there is no f,ir-mindod
man who studies the history of tins cOun-
| try from the days of its foundation dowr
to the present time. and who deduccs tn,
difference between eight millions of pcopl,
and eighty millions, who considers the
telegraph. the telephone and the railroads
who will not say that We are markedly
better. physically. mentally and morally
than our grandfa theirs or even our faith
ers"
'"Then you believe tho House Of Repre-
scntatves is just as representative as il
was in years gone by"
Yes. yes, indeed" the speaker replied
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1905-12-28

"'rhc House is just as representative
body now as il was when this country had
only ten millions Of people. II you listen
to all that is said. you might believe the
country is fast going to the devil is fast
Incoming a monarchy and will cease soon
to he Il republic. Why, | heard that same
kind of talk when was a hoy, when we
used to gather at camp meetings. They
used to tell us that things were not what
they were in the good old days
! You hear the same thing now that
things are retrograding, chat everybody Is
corrupt and dishonest and that there is
wholesale immortality. do not hesitate
to assert that this country is better to-day
than it was in it's history that the people
are better. more honest. more moral and
less disposed to yield to temptations that
arc put in front of honest men ut every
turn.
! THE people arc just as mighty now In
the matter Of elections as ever before and
Just as discriminating as to whether a
man has done his duty. No man ever gets
50 big that he cannot easily be wiped of
the political map. And how quickly the
people do 1t. too. They settle man SO
quickly that he is soon forgotten. l ven
|
read men in the country could sit down
to-day and give off hand the names Of one
hundred men who have helped to make
history in the House of Representatives.
The others were defeated and forgotten,
and that was the end. There was william,
j. Brown. who put through the House Of
Representatives the appropriation of 800
ono to build the first telegraph line between
Washington and Baltimore. He did the
world an immense service. yet at the next
election afterward he received hardly
enough votes to count. The opposition
put up n man who ridiculed the idea of
sending messages by lightning and he
beat Brown thousands of votes. So it is
to-day, although mans services now are
not so easily condemned.

were our forcfathcrs. The millennium j.

perfect. We are doing better though
