Washington June S-"Mr. Common
was bonn OF God-iearlng, and man
loving parents. He made himsalf and
he did darned poor job OF it",
This is the autobiography OF
Uncle joe" of Illinois, lie wrote 1t
upon request, and he, got almost
as much into the two lines as Grant
or Sherman or mark Twain did In
TO volumees.
Born a Quaker seventy-two years
ago in North Carolina. reared to
manhood in clearing on the banks
of the Wabash in Indiana lawyer,
banker. and near millionaire, Joseph
G. Cannon is often cited TO prove
that the grand old type OF American
manhood, rugged and sturdy, that
characterized the fathers OF the Re
public. is not always spoiled by
wealth.
The manufacturing process TO
which Cannon raferred In his auto
biography occurred In the House OF
Representatives For more than a
generation he has been a member of
that body, and for five years its
SPEAKER. The raw MATERIAL was rec
ognized as such. 1.-The gentleman
must have oats in his pocket" ex-
claimed member when Cannon
made his first speech In the House.
The "Kid' mRmbeT from the West
admitted II, and suggested there
might also be hayseed In his hair.
Last winter that speech was recited
from the floor by one of his admir-
ers, while Cannon sat blushing in
the Speakers chair. his vest unbut-
toned from top TO bottom. his fraz-
zled hair so thin II could no longer
hold hayseed If it tried, his bones
clothed In homespun and a tooth
pick In his mouth-just as pictures
que a figure as he was dhirty-thr
years before.
His habits and manners are ali
pervading. They permeate "Uncle
Joe's clothes. just as they do his
system. They are likewise copy
righted. About year ago when the
speaker went TO New York, the
metropolitan newspapers commented
on his twenty-five cent hatv In
reality, 1t was a $40 Panama, but
1t had been cannonized. The best
tailors In WashinIgton mako his suits
but an everlasting contest between
the garments and their owner as
TO their right TO shield .(him from the
elements, give his clothes a withered
rose appearance the year around.
The tobacco habit charaoterizes
him as nothing else. The angle at
which his cigar is held Is regarded
as a barometer of his spirits. Only
ON one occasion was the cigar ever
observed as gloomy That was the
night OF Election Day in 1890. when
Cannon and Mckinley weres defeated
for Congress, Both we're at head
quarters In Chicago Finally when
all others were gone. except one
OF two, Cannon saldpto Mckinley;
"William, there Is no use OF our
trying to fool one another. is there?"
+No joe replied Mckinley.
"Wsal, doesn't IL beat hell" and
with that his cigar fell TO the low
est angle 1t ever registered. 1t was

.Selectior,s
RISE OF JOHN BURNS.
Engineers Apprentice Who Became
Member Of Parliament,

Some people nre laboring under the
belief that England is less democratic
than this republic. They should study
the rise Of John Burns. now president
Of the local governing board. Thirty
five years ago he was an engineers
apprentice ut So week. This posi-
ton I'm England is far more mental
than In this country. because a lad
has little hope OF rising TO an earning
point beyond or sbIllngs day.
But John Burns kept going.
He acquired an education by self
study, because the common school sys-
tenn. as we understand the words. does
not exist IN Great Britain. He devel-
oped the ability to talk upon his feet
He stood for parliament. although he
hadn't shilling besides his earnlngs
as an expert workman. " 3.
Members Of the British parliament
are not paid anything for their serv-
ices. Friends came to Burns assist,
ance. and he took his seat with nearly
forty other representatives OF labor
Today he Ia n member Of the govern.
ment and MS privy councillor may, II he
chooses. draw $4,000 per year for the
rest OF his life. whether In or out Of
Office. tA" "a
or course II is not considered regular
to take the salary when one Is out Of
office. but some cases Of the kind are
well remembered. Benjamin Disraeli
always drew the money. He needed it,
he asserted. "
But what ! started to say Is that a
workman has as great chance In Eng.
land as here II he makes something OF
himself beyond a drudge. Snch sue
cesses are more exceptional there than
here, II reference be had to the Ameri-
can horn workman. because the for
eign born laborer docs as little work
as he can here or elsewhere. His In.
dolence Is infectious. and many former.
ly earnest tollers have become imbued
with the continental belief in sinking
duty.
Had Burns felt thus he would still
be mechanic and carrying a dinner
pail. - Julius Chambers In Brooklyn

The passenger agent of one of the railroads do- ing business in Arkansas has sent out d circular letter to the press of the state saying that since they have gone back to the three-cent fare they will be more liberal i'll the way of giving excur- sions, etc, and that they will be able to furnish the newspapers with transportation in about the same way they did under the 'od conditions.n n We had always been lead to believe that 1t was violation of the interstate commerce law to grant transportation to newspapers in exchange for ad- vertising, and fail to see wherein the return to the three-cent fare has in any way modified that law. However, now that the newspaper boys are to get their mileage books again, they will all doubtless be very good and not do too much talkn about the railroads.
