Speaker Cannon's mail contains many
odd and curious missives from citizens
throughout the country. One of them
which reached him this week was ad-
dressed to Uncle Joe, care Uncle Sam
Washington, D. c." The postal au
thorities had no difficulty in ascertain
ing for whom this letter was intended.
When it was opened by Col. Busbey,
Speaker Cannon's private secretary, it
proved to be from Columbus, O., but
the writer failed to attach his sigma
ture The letter read:
Dear Uncle joe
. My minor toe in the left fairly
aches with d desire that you will use
you big influence to curb both trusts
and trustees while saving as much time
and money as you can during this short
session. May your arm be both length
ened as the session shortens. Please
give us fewer battleships and railroad
wrecks. small salaries and mileage
bills. briefer congressional records
more postal routes a parcels post and
one cent letter postage to atone for time
wasted on the Brownsville affair, and
you will win fame as you deserve, not
only in Illinois but in Ohio
The letter has been placed among
Uncle Joe's collection of curios.

Admiral Asa Walker superintendent
of the naval observatory, is making
spots. Unlike his brother astronomers
Admiral Walker is prophesying no
dire disasters in the way of floods
or pestilence as a result of the spots.

the same time the gain made by the
stimulation to commerce would be
vast. The National rivers and harbOrs
congress is seeking to have the, gov
eminent devote $5O,0OO,0O0 year to
this work, and it is endeavOring to
make it's appeal the more powerful by
adding to it's membership, which now
includes shippers, business organiza-
tons, and individuals in every state in
the Union. To this end, Captain J.
F.. Ellison, secretary of the Organiza-
ton. which has it's headquarters in
Cincinnati, has issued a general appeal
to every one interested to join the
movement. The National Rivers and
Harbors has the heartiest endorsement
of President Roosevelt. Speaker Can
non, and Representative Burton, chair
man of the Rivers and Harbors COM
mittee of the house of representatives,
while the president of the organization
is Congressman Joseph f. Ransdell of
Louisiana.

simultaneously with the movement
to buy up and preserve the birthplace
of Abraham Lincoln, one has been
started for the preservation Of the old
log cabin occupied by General Grant
just prior to the civil war. Represen-
tative Coudrey of Missouri has in
troduced bill providing for the APP
pOintment of commission of three
members to investigate the Grant farm,
which is situated in Missouri This
commission IS to go over the grOIt
thoroughly and report a plan for the
preservation of the farm and its his

Because of his close association with
and friendship for President RoOse-
welt, Washington is wondering whether
the remarks of Theodore P. ShOnts.
chairman of the Panama canal COM
mission, made at the banquet of the
Iowa society of New York this week,
set forth his own convictions or were
really inspired by the occupant of the
White House. In the course of his adj
dress Mr.. Shonts, with a special en-
phasis. declared: ...
IF any government, whether nation
al, state or municipal, permits any
injustice to be done to corporations
simply because they are corporations,
whether this injustice is the result of
proper or improper motives. the real
sufferer in the last analysis is the
small investor"
Those who have perceived the note
of caution in all of the presidents
messages on this subject of the cor
poration, are of the opinion that even
if Mr.. Shonts statement was not di-
recetly dictated Dy PfeSluent Roosevelt
at least his remarks have the presi-
dents endorsement. The administra-
ton started out to curb certain trusts"
and set on foot inquiries to that end.
In prosecuting these Investigations the
government devoted its energies to un-
masking piratical corporations, and
these now are practically curbed and
the new laws have drawn their fangs.
Unfortunately the revelations made by
these Inquiries have stirred up the
American people to such an extent that
at the present time an investigation
undertaken by the government is be-
lieVed to be tantamOunt to a convic-
ton. 1t was to disabuse the public
mind of this especial heresy that Pres
ident Rooselevt spoke so strongly in
his last message to congress. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Shonts' remarks at
the New York banquet We're the echo
of the presidents warning.

In these times of piping peace both
the war and navy departments are hard
pressed to find both men and Off
GERS. At Annapolis the staff OF in
structors is so depleted that it has
been necessary to press into service
some of the upper classmen to direct
the studies of the newcomers. The war
department faces a like condition III
the coast artillery service. for which
branch it can secure neither the nee
essary number of men nor officers. A
large number of guns and much eXpen-
sive coast defence material is lying
idle at the present time because the
government cannot find men to man
age the engines of war. For the same
reason the new battleship Vermont is
not being fitted out the navy depart
ment being unable to enlist recruits
fast enough to equip the newer navy.
