VIZ. Cannon Snid .G,rrnnr,,

Il VIII be recalled that in the midst Of
the deg days last summer, a member Of
the Republican Congressional Committee
brought to Washington, whence it was
disseminated 10 the four corners Of tina
earth. the report of an interesting col
loQuy that took place on the porch Of the
Roosevelt residence at oyster Bay be
tween the President and Speaker Can
non. The colloQuy ran thus.
Quoth the PresiGent-You. Mr.. Speaker,
viii DC the next President Of the United
States
Quoth the Speaker-You, Mr.. President
viii be the next President Of the United
States.
So saying, Uncle Joe skipped eff to the
Presidential carriage waiting to convey
him and members Of the Congressional
committee to the train that carried them
back 10 New York. They had called at
Sycamore Hill in response to a summons
OF the President, who desired to confer
with them about the Congressional cam
paign.
As result Of the reported c0Hoquy n
Cannon Presidential Club promptly was
organized in Washington. ard a button
bearing the alleged declaration Of the
President was Immediately adopted by
the club. One CT the members wearing
this button met the Speaker yesterday.
Uncle Joe apparently made no note Of
the button The proud wearer Of the
button directed his attention 10 il.
Il haven't my glasses on. and l can't
read without EN-" said Uncle Joe
The wearer OF the button forthwith tore
il off and held it before the Speakers
eyes. THE device upon it, said he. els:
YOU. Mr. Speaker, win be the next Pres
ident Of the United States--Theodore
Roosevelt And that's what 1 believe
MIR. Speaker"
"Oh, g'wan," exclaimed Uncle Joe
slapping his admirer upon the back.
"G'wanl You are trying to have fun
with me-"
But. didn't the President say it," per-
sisted the Speakers enthusiastic sup
porter.
wan-g'wan, I tell you" replied the
Speaker, as he tripped Dlithesomely to-
wa-d his sanctum sanctorum.

Two Reform Governors.

It is interesting and instructive to COM
pare the legislative recommendations of
the reform governors Of New York and
Missouri. Gov. Hughes the Republican,
confined himself TO urging few inn
portant measures OF legislation, while the
message of the Democratic governor
(Folk) teens with suggestions for the reg
ulation or suppression Of alleged public
evils. Where Gov Hughes sketches only
the main outlines Of corporation legisla-
ton, and that concerning public-service
/ corporations alone. Gov. Folk frames
many specific provisions Of legislation fer
the control Of all corporations.
! Why Gov Hughes should have omitted
/ from his message any consideration Of
the trust problem, as presented by indus
trial corporations, does not appear. one
passage expresses his belief that rebates
and determinations in railway rates and
| in facilities for transportation have con-
tributed TO the growth Of monopoly and
the crushing Of competition lie may.
therefore. count on the suppression Of
railway favortism to remove one Of the
main sources Of monopoly, and doubtless
he has faith in the power Of the courts
TO curb abuses Of corporate power. 1t is
probable, also, that Gov Hughes thinks
1t wiser to concentrate his energies on a
single measure OF corporate reform. and
that in advocating stringent regulation Of
public-service corporations he stands upon
frmer ground than he would if he had
attempted 70 so into the matter of gov
eminent control Of industrial corpora
tons
Thus Gov. Folk would appear the more
radical of the two in respect to the va
riety and scope Of legislative measures
recommended. yet both governors could
travel long way without parting COM
pany Their eyes are set in the same
direction, but the Fastener is proceeding
with more caution and greater circum-
specti0H. The Democrat. who. by party
tradition should be averse TO enlarging
the burdens OF government, is the more
insistent on developing the power Of the
State TO its constitutional limit On the
other hand. the Republican executive sets
an example Of relative moderation and
/ conservatism.

Congress and District COMBINATIONS

This newspaper has had some few
things TO say about gas and the price OF
gas since Representative Madden-quite
Unexpectedly to the city-introduced his
bill to reduce the rate to % cents per thou
sand feet Other Washington newspapers
have likewise had something to say.
There is perfect unanimity on the sub
jet. The press and the public favor the
proposition, of cOurse-favor II enthusiast
tically. They believe it TO be fair. The
sentiment of the community is much the
same, indeed, as was the sentiment Of the
House Of Representatives, over five years
ago. when that body, by an overwhelming
vote, ordered the District Committee to re
port a bill reducing the rates.
But the will Of the House was then
ignored, disregarded, defed. Why. or
how. nobody pretends to know.
Quite the most remarkable suggestion
that has come to the notice Of this paper
and it is hearing from both sides-is that
the advocacy of cheaper light is going 70
hurt corporate interests; that it may in
jure our weII-managed street railways. in
particular; that Congress, having its eyes
opened as TO gas, viii look askauce and
distrust any sort Of Washington project
that hereafter comes up, however meri-
torious, and thus business interests will
suffer Therefore the Washington news
papers now advocating cheaper gas are
tearing down rather than building up.
Of course. the arrant nonsense Of all
this IS apparent on its face. and that Is
why il is presented here.
Business interests are not going to suffer
by the advocacy or the passage Of tie
Madden bill for cheaper gas. The whole
community will profit by it-business in
terests in particular Every thinking man
who has not n meTcenary interest in the
subject knows It, Chairman Gauinger
knows It. Chairman Babcock, who is
going out right, knows it. Everybody In
fact, knows it who wants to know the
truth.

anything to fear at its hands. We hear
dire forebodings about confscation. bur

The sunshine Knocked the smile Of you
For IT was not SO good sight
You always came when skies were fair
When roses bl3Zed along the lane
And there was gladness everywhere
You did not come IN days Of rain.
You always came when joy was here,
When there was happiness to spare,
When there was never aUght % fear
Nor any bitterness % bear:
You always came when laughter ieaped
And sorrow thrummed the door in vain
When pleasure was on pleasure heaped-
You did not come ia hours Of pain.
You always came when song wae free.
When music echoed from the walls,
Your voice blent with the melody
That rang triumphant through the halls
You always came when rapture thrill-@4-

You did not come when songs We're stiued
You did not come when all was hUshed

An Ameriean Temple al peaee.

Andrew Carnegie could not have found
worthier beneficiary of his generous
disposition than the Bureau OF American
Republics. This institution has grown
in usefulness and Importance. until now
it constitutes a strong bond of union be-
tween the nations Of this hemisphere, as
well as an effective agency for the pro-
motion Of common commercial and indus
trial aims. It has for a long time needed
an adequate and dignifed home. pro-
vision for which had been made by ap-
preparations Of the various governments
connected with the bureau.
Now comes Mr.. Carnegie with a gen
erous gift of $4,000. which. together with
the moneys already available, viii permit
the expenditure of about million dollars
in acquiring "a site and erecting a building
worthy Of the purposes and importance
Of the bureau. 1t is proposed that the
new building shall be Of a Latin-Ameri-
can type Of architecture, representative
OF the international character of the in
stitution to be housed liz ii. Such a
building will be a notable addition 10 the
public edihces which adorn Washington,
and an enduring monument TO Mr.. Car
negieS benefCenCe.
With the motives which inspired Mr..
Carnegie in making this gift we fully
sympathize. His hope is that il may be
helpful toward perpetuating the bond OF
amity and friendship which has always
existed between the great republic Of the
North and its southern neighbors. We
agree with Mr. Carnegie that every
generation should see them drawing
closer together" and trust, with him,
that peace among them may ever be IN
broken.
