OF no recent date. II has been long
in the brewing. His dctatorial atti-
tude toward forestry reserve, banking
and other bills, during the recent con-
gross, but heightened It; and the digs
and jabs he has been receiving from
the Methodists and others for his
high handed dealings with bills they
have been especially interested in,
have made It no better Further than
that, Mr.. Bryan and Mr., Kern have
seen what pregnable part Of the re-
publican party's present makeup Mr..
Cannon Is and have spared no pains
In denounclng him, There is no need
of denying that they have scored a
bull's-eye. There Is reason TO believe
Mr., Lilley II nominated will prove q
drawback to Mr., Taft; there Is equal
reason to believe that Mr. Cannon will
be equally out of harmony with Big
Bill. "Taftltes" should not be blind to
that fact, II will become apparent
sooner or later. II evidence IL needed
of the fact that Mr.. Cannon and Mr.,
Taft will not hitch, reference need
only be made to the announced speak
ng tour of Mr.. Cannon under the d.
rectlon OF the republican congresson-
al committee in every district where
the prospect of republican congress-
men is questioned, This committee Is
entirely separate from the republican
national committee. 1t is controlled
by the house oligarchy In no way
does 1t show itself more out OF SYM
patty with Mr. Taft's committee than
It's avowed intention Of making no
public accounting of Its contributions
and expenses. II was Mr. Cannon and
those behind him who consistently
and effectually opposed the campaign
publicity measures presented at the
last congress.
But, II Mr., Taft's usefulness would
be narrowed by Mr.. Cannon as speak

the country can look for better results
with the sensible legislation of Mr..
Taft offered for the support of hos
tile speaker than with the lnadvisable
legislation offered by Mr.. Bryan, to
! whom tat same speaker would be
even more hostile, so the issue is still
personal one as between Mr.. Taft
and Mr., Bryan. The Cannon Issue is
a side issue. Not so much against
him as against the system which
makes It possible for his successor,
democratic or republican, to gather to
himself equally absolute powers,
should the two great parties unite In

THE SPEAKERS ABsOLUTIsM.

There are many reasons to believe
that Speaker Cannon and Cannon
"standpatism" will become a national
issue before the campaign progresses
much further. The political weather
vane has pointed his way for some
time. Uncle Joe will have to win all
or lose all. There will be no middle
course for him to choose.
1t Is significant when two such stall
wart hackers of the Taft cause as the
Providence Journal and the Spring
field Republican say of Mr.. Cannon
what they have said. There can be
no question in the minds of sincere
torially, men who are not revolution
aries, but who realize the importance
of setting the nations house in order
that Mr. Cannon Is a worse enemy
to Mr.. Taft than any Of his democrat
ic opponents The Republican, in
speaking Of the support Of the rcpub-
lican president at the last session Of
congress by the democratic minority
which was more generous than that Of
the republicans under the republican
speaker, lntimates that the democrats
might be able to support republican
executive better If they were in the
majority. 1T is always unfortunate
from a certain point Of view it says,
ito have the president and congress
working under different party stand
ards, but It were possible to contem-
plate a democratic house with COM
posure, if Speaker Cannon's role in the
next few years is to thwart the efforts
of Mr. Roosevelt's successor

But as to the fact In this respect dis

vlctions have entered the minds OF
many republicans, They see an efllc-

see that when they themselves want

approved Governor Woodruff because
he did his best FOR the things they

Such experiences are Killing the faith

PLEASURE VS.. THE LAW.

1t is an absorbing situation. which
has been evolved at Atlantic City, as
a consequence of the demand of It's
visitors and summer residents for
personal liberties on Sunday and the
willingness OF the caterers TO meet
the demand The mayor declines to
order the chief OF police to close the
saloons and the other resorts Of
pleasure. The result Is a wide open
play ground for all to sport in.
Governor Fort now gives notice
that unless the local authorities en-
fosce the law and shut up the pleas
ure haunts, he will undertake the Job
himself This he can do In two ways.
He can proclaim martial law and send
the troops of the state into the law
less community. He, however, dis
likes to do this without a special APP
preparation from the general assem-
bly,. Secondly he can call .he general
assembly into extraordinary session,
ask for the money he needs to carry
out the undertaking, advise the
amendment of the jury laws and pre-
pare to Dust from office officials who
wilfully and perversely refuse to do
their duty Says Governor Fort In
his proclamation, which Is phrased In
the breezy style of the middle west:
This address to the people Of the
state is issued that the Violators Of
the law Mt Atlantic City, and the Of
ncials who stand by and "efuse to
prevent or punish such violators, may
be warned of the fact that In case Of
! their further refusal to enforce or
obey the law the legislature will be
convened to meet the emergency
This is an absorbing situation be-
cause 1t brings into serious conflict
the government of the state Of New
Jersey and public opinion at Atlantic
| City, which favors the pleasure whms
Of its visitors for the money there is
in it. There has never been a more
dramatic clash and It will be interest
| ing to see how 1t comes out. Obvious
! ly If the officials were encouraged by
| the business interests of the city and
by the people generally, they would
enforce the law and Atlantic City
would be as lidded as It., Is possible to
lid playground Of that size and
popularity. But the officials are not
encouraged in any such interpreted
ton Of political duty. They declare
that there will be no indictment
against Sunday liquor selling and
i gambling until after the season closes,
/ and the people sit about and grin
Exactly what Governor Fort can
accomplish permanently remains to
be seen. He can of course enforce
the laws with the aid of the militia,
but will not the presence of the mill
tia be required indefinitely to produce
a law-abiding situation?
