DISCUSSIONS
BY The FARMERS
Are Discussing the Subjects
to be Considered by the
Country Life Commission

At the suggestion Of President Roose
welt, the Country Life Commission ha
asked the farmers of the country to mco
i'm their respective communities some tim,
before Saturday, December s, TO discuss
the questions which the Commission Is
studying and to indicate their own idea
Of what are the most important subject
for the Commission to consider.
In letter to the members of the County
Life Commission the President says th'
farmers SHOULD feel "a sense Of ownership
in the Commission" and that he believer
that the Comission should get into the
closest possible touch with the farmers
He urges the Importance Of holding the
meeting before Congress adiourns prio
to the Christmas holidays. so that at TIN
time Congress reassembles. early in Jan
uary, the Commission may have report
of the meetings in hand and may be I'll

THE OPPOSITION TO CANNON

IT HE Hon. James Schoocraft Sherman, vice
\ president-eect, acting as the scout for the
forces of Speaker Cannon, visited Hot Springs,
saw President-elect Taft and at once announced
a program of lovely harmony in which Cannon
and Taft were, hguratvely speaking, embracing
each other. There was to be little real revision
OF the tariff. and Cannon to be reelected
speaker of the House without opposition. The
great obstructionist was thus to be permitted TO
his best efforts to kill all the progressive leg
islation that might happen along his way from
the White House.
This statement by Mr. Sherman was quickly
followed by one from Congressman Burton, OF
Ohio. who also came direct from the door of the
presdent-elect The Burton statement did not
agree with that of Sherman Taft was prepared
according TO the Burton interview, TO fight, If
necessary, even though Cannon might win in the
organization of the House. Now comes another
messenger from Hot Springs, Mr.. Cumpacker
who assured Mr.. Taft that Mr. Cannon was in
hearty sympathy with the wishes Of the presi-
dcnt-elect and would support the ideas advocated
BY Mr. Taft He also expressed the opinion that
nothing could defeat the reelection of Mr. Can
non as speaker And, indeed it looks as il Mr..
Cannon would be reelected, notwithstanding the
disturbance
We believe that Taft and Roosevelt would
prefer to see Cannon in some less conspicuous
place in the party's councils than leader of the
House of Representatives. Mr.. Cannon is about
as much in touch with present day thought with
the spirit Of the times, as is fossil in univer-
sty museum.
Taft has pledges to keep He has policies to
pursue and Cannon has no sympathy with those
policies If he can be defeated, doubtless the
forces of the new administration will accomplish
his defeat, as the continued exaltation OF Cannon
is bitter pill to many Of the well-wishers of the
Taft administration
Should open conflict develop between the
friends of Taft and the supporters Of the speak
er. many congressman would find himself con-
fronted with a perplexing problem. Where, for
example. would the Hon. William H. Head OF

be routed, the administration forces might over
look our congressman in some of the things that
Delaware wanted. Altogether from a point of
expediency and with the idea of serving the best
interests Of his State, the new congressman would
be forced in difficult position. Naturally we
should imagine that the Delaware representative
would be against Cannon and all his works.
We admit however that we have no fear of
the ability of Mr. Heald to take care of himself
as well he did during the campaign in this
State. He walked the tight-rope without even
having TO call for the balancing pole, and the
bricks hurled at him by Mr.. Handy Mr.. Arters

campaign fell to the ground harmlessly, without

WOMEN AS MUNICIPAL VOTERS.

a Il THE recent new charter convention for
= Chicago the advocates of suffrage for
women made stirring fight to have conferred
upon their sex the right to vote in municipal cleo
tons
The speakers who presented the pleas for suf-
frage were headed by Jane Adams noted set
Element worker. Their reasons given for suffrage
were not confined to the general claims often
made by the supporters of equal rights at the
polls. Miss Addams and the other speakers en-
phasized the importance of the housekeeping
phase of municipal politics, such questions of
education. health, hygiene, cleanliness, preven-
ton of delinquency Identification of the parks
and streets, and other things that make living
worth living in the cities
They urged that in these matters women have
always been foremost and the speakers recalled
the good work done by organizations of women
in cities. They therefore, believe that women
should have a direct vote in the election of mu-
nicpal ofticers-that they should have as much
say in such elections the irresponsible drunk
ard the loafer the dead beat" and the vote seller
or the vote buyer. And it would require a bold
man to show successfully that their argument is
not founded on reason
The women will continue their fight in Chicago,
and If they do SO with the zeal that is behind
similar movements in other places, they will win
in the not distant future. AT any rate it is only
a question of time before they will win the right
of suffrage in municipal elections. The signs
point most clearly in that direction.
