Colonel Barbour of Tariff League Sees No
Political Significance in It.

Colonel William Barbour. chairman of the ex-

nothing Of that kind afoot far am aware
Speaker Cannon is thoroughgong Republican and
a protectionist He wants to the Congress
Republican. believing that only with continuance
of Republican control will there be prosperity for
our manufacturers. He is very much interested in
the effect or the proposed commercial treaty with
Germany, which takes effect July /. All of
these subjects are naturally Of moment to man
in the position of Speaker Cannon. So far as
know he Is not particularly interested in the
didacy OF any one man. and his presence at league
headquarters certainly does not mean that he Is
plotting against the ambitions OF any Presidential

Our national health is physically greatest

able OF strenuous service to their country. The
preservation of national vigor should be a
matter of patriotism.
For this reason and because many of the
problems Of public health are interstate in their
character. the ai1 OF the federal government is
necessary to supplement the work of state and
local boards of health. Federal activity in
these matters has already developed greatly
