REVOLT IN THE HOUSE.
California Congressman After Cannon' HcaI8.

Csiifornia Cengressman After Cennon's Scala.
 A special to The New York Sun from Washington says:
 A revolt against the leadership of the House of Representatives, determ- ined to make this a s'do nothing ses- sion of Congress, Is threatened. The insurrectionists are led by Represen,a,, a, Hayes. out in California, because of the color of his whislkers. MT. Hayes wants the rules of the House so amend cd that the House will be its own mas ter. instead of being subject, as he says, to the whim and will of Speaker Cannon and the Committee on Rules. He began today to circulate petition calling for a caucus of Republicans. % wSsh sFs to paSes Ss sssrsss Mir Hayes has a concerted plan to oDer. as fol- lows:
 Speaker to be ineligible for member shin on 1t.
 Second. The committees of the House to elect their own chairman.
 Third. There shall be caiia of the committees twice week. when the chairmen of committees may ask for the passage of bills that may be on the calendar. unless the House decides
 If MT. Hayes, succeeds in gstting fif- tv signatures to his petition a caucus will be held. If he fails-and Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants are work ing to this end--there will he no eau GUS as proposed by the lively member from California.
 Representative Hayes came to Wash ington at the beginning of the session with a bill In his pocket providing for the exclusion of the Japanese. He introduced 1t promptly, and the meas ure was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
 Notice was given to Representative Hayes that no action would be. taken on his Japanese exclusion bill.
 Mir Hayes was interested in num- her of other measures, but he soon found that there was literally nothing doing.
 Mir. Hayes expressed confidence then that he would have little trouble in getting q sufficient number of sigma lures to his petition to force caucus of the whole Republican membership: He had encountered the cold eye of the Speaker when he rose in his chair and asked, recognition without getting permission to do so in advance, and in his position ths House had ceased to be representative body.

rr WAS Al JOKE.

A friend in New York. who signs himself An onlooker." writes us to say that we did injustice to General stewart L. woodford in an editorial some days ago fin which we commented on . remark of his that he would ask for and accept the nomination for Vice President in case Speaker Cannon was nominated for first place. We did not fnisfepresent or mIsquote him, for hers Is what he says, as reported by The Boston Transcript; T shall ask for second place on the ticket if the con vention nominates my old friend. Uncle Joe Cannon. for President"
 The real injustice we did the Gen. eral was In accepting his remark serf- ousiy. when 1t seems that he made it to some friends in his room and had no thought that 1t would be taken for anything but joke. what he really intended was to show his Idea of the absurdity of Speaker cannon,s aspira- tions towards Presidential nomina- ton. They are old friends. each of them seventy-two years of age. and when he and his friends were enjoying themselves in his room at the hotel, he iaughinsly made the remark we quoted. saying: T think he end I could show the country what a pair of 72-yearsoid colts are capable ef." We are glad to relieve the General of what looked like tIie weakness of old sse. if he had said t in earnest.

According to a contemporary, Gov ernor Proctor, of Vermont. is in an un- pleasant predicament. He has to ap- point his fathers successor as Sem ator of the United States, and he has wealth of material from which to select. But he is also desirous of be- ing United States Senator himself. and the family plan was that on the expiration, of his fathers term in a year or two he should come to the sue cession. If he makes an appointment now, the new Senator will have a sig nal advantage in a contest in the Leg islature. So there he is in a situation which must be trying
 The only way out of it that we see is to appoint himself Senator and then resign the ohics of Governor. How ever. that would not be at all like the sen of his father

 GoveFpor Corners Serious 0yersiaht. Editor The Advertiser.
 We have a Governor whose whole vice of the State He @ scarcely rests at all. but hurries here and there over the state, like 8 good general watch ing the interests of his army.
 Consequently fl seems almost like an unutterable sin to criticize g man so preoecupied with braad-ninded views of what tine State needs in every di- rection. Perhaps this note may be re- garded more as A puzzled question than as a criticism.
 Some menthH ago, Governor Conner was invited by President Roosevelt in the States. to meet in washinston to consider a subject yitally important to the whole Union, via the conservation of national resources, Each Governor men from his State. presumably the best informed as 10 the resources of the State, Governor Conner has se- leeted three. one of them Major Teb- Ssss cssstSr e oed S os sn 9rt aSd St M0gs Rs publican leader. but one who has never claimed to know what are the resources of our beloved State.
 pointed, whose names were announced In your paper yesterday, The question that arises is this: what one. man in Alabama knows most regarding the baHia--positively fnosta Prof. Eugene A. Smith, of the University of Ala bama. What man is in the best pest : ton to know the resources of the land who knows the general possibilities of our great mineral district better than some of the iron masters of Birming- ham or of Gadsdan or of Anniston None of these men were chosen,
 It creates the feeling in the question ing minds of those who admire our heroic Governor that he has permitted himself to be so crowded with duties that in this important matter he has decided hurriedly and lost sight' of the men who really know most about the State. e..,

A .Soman.s Complexioa

1t is rank foelishness to attempi
to remove sallowness or greGsines,
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or ''locaP treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion It alss cures consti-
patton, bilieusness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia

But cornmeal is such a rich anG
versatile product that it lends itself
to all days and all meals. For break
fast 1t can be turned into batter cakes

Then for dinner there is the corn

freshly churned buttermilk, with an
accompaniment of cabbage or cOllards
or turnip salad or new snap beans. II
for any reason the corn pone is not de

be liquidated,

This plan would be advan-
tageous to the depositors, the
banks, the Government and
the public at large: it's only
opponents are a clique OF
bankers who see in such an
arrangement, the end of one
man banks, the end of banks
run for the personal ends of
one man or set of men, the
end of dummy directors, OF
memorandum notes, etc. The
sound conservative banker,
who realizes that the peoples
funds are entrusted to his
care for safe keepingssand to
facilitate businss, would well
come such a plan.
Panics would be a thing
of the past, as there would
never be a run on a bank
which was backed by the
Government: a panic could
not exist while the Govern
ment endured.
Nothing can shake the con-
fidence of the people of these
United States, in the Govern
ment, and nothing could
shake the confidence of the
people in a "Government
backed" bank.
With no panics to disturb
trade, business would be
stable prices firm, labor well
paid, work plentiful; and the
strength of the nation would
be such that the worlds pow
ers would recognize it's com
manding position.
The people are demanding
some such plan. and do not
let us forget that ''the people
are the Government and the
Government is the people,
