CANNON IN RHYME

This is Walt Mason's opinion of
Uncle Joe Cannon: He is the press
and the people, the sultan who
rules the Turks; he is the bell in
the steeple, and he is the whole
blamed works. He is the hill and
valley, the dawning, the dusk, the
moon; he is the large white alley,
he is the man in the moon. He is
the soothing slumber, he is the soul
awake; he is the big cucumber that
gives us the belly ache. Heis the
fire that quickens, the company
that insures; he is the i'll that sick
ems, and he is the thing that cures.
He is the ruling Russian, and we
are the groveling skates; he is the
constitution, and he's the United
States.

parents q ''send-of' and gets 300. 1t is
christened; the minister gets $40 and
the editor gets 800. 1t grows up and
marries; the editor publishes another
long-winded flowery article and tells n
dozen lies about the beautiful accomp-
lished bride, the minister gets $40 and
a piece of cake. the editor gets 5000. In
the course of time it dies, and the
doctor gets from S25 to 800, the
perhaps gets another $15. the
undertaken gets from $50 to 800: the
editor publishes q notice Of the death
and m obituary two columns long,
