II there Is one thing more than an
other which William Alden Smith has
always insisted upon 1t is that he Is
himself and there arc no duplicates.
Feeling perfectly safe In this diagno'
sis of his case, he went to Massachu-
sets few days ago to witness n
game of football between Groton and
st. Marks schools On the team of
the latter his son played. At the height
Of the struggle n wiry, smooth faced
man was seen to throw silk hat high
in the air and shout like one beset, his
teeth standing forth like presidential
set upon the receipt Of news that some
Podunk family had been blessed with
triplets.

Gompers on Cannon.

In the American Federatonist official organ of the
American Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers
head of the federation assails Speaker Cannon and
the body he calls edo nothing congress-
Mr.. Gompers says congress and all its members
were made aware of the needs of organized labor
and that the voters of the country will hold congress
responsible for its failure to legisate along the lines
Indicated Mr.. Gompers says in the American Fed
erationst
MANY congressman plead that under the domination
of our genial Uncle Joe Cannon" it is impossible to
get these bills before the House. What hunlat1ng
confession from the members of highest legsla-
tive body-held fast in the grip of irresponsible
man, subject to his whim
Nor must we forget that this irresponsible tyrant
is not representing his personal whims alone-ah
no he represents the powerful Interests who, with
the doce consent of the majority Of the house. have
placed him there and aided him in imposing his auto
cratic rule upon the house. Labor holds those mem
bers of the house responsible who allowed congress
to be delivered bound hand and foot they say,
until it is impossible to legislation except at
the permission of this man.

of the senate, it ascertaned that the president in
tended to carry out his threat to veto the omnibus
public buildings bill if congress failed to pass
Urgency currency bill and steps Immediately
taken to the pork" A patchwork currency bill
was agreed to and the country given lily consid
cred law to paciy the president and gain his consent
to an unnecessary raid on impoverished treasury.
Mr., LaFollette was the only man in the senate, or
III congress- to make determined fight against this
loosely thrown together measure and to prevent him
from serving the public we'll he intended to, the
senate violated of its most sacred traditions and
swept him from the floor of debate
Sometime in the future the country may, and
doubtless will, have occasion to remember the
from Wisconsin and his single handed fight against
scheme that had other merit than the adornment
of few cities with public buildings at the expense
Of the general government. When the emergency
currency law encounters the universal condemnation
that it invites Senator LaFoette will have his day
in the court of public opinion.

Converted to Taft.

1t is announced by the Wall Street Journal that
the street has become reconced to Mr. Taft's candi-
dacy and will work earnestly for his election The
Journal does not undertake to explain the CONVEX
sion of predatory capital to the against whom
it had concentrated itself. 1t asks:
What is the reason for this change? 1t is i'm
possible to believe that it is the result of any change
in Mr.. Taft himself, that it is the result Of any
bargain understanding between him and the fnan-
cal interests. Mr.. Taft's whole career testies
against any such idea that He has been note
worthy for the straightforwardness of his life and
conduct and as politician
What, then, is the reason for this change in the
attitude of Wall street? Is Wall street sup
porting Taft in order to make it certain that Roose
welt would not be nominated and elected for another
term? Is Wall street. therefore, taking Taft the
lesser of two evils? Does it believe that while he
will be faithful to the Roosevelt policies, his method
of applying those policies will be temperate and
judicial to make it possible to promote business
enterprise under his administration?
Certainly, what's the matter with Wall street?
Something has surely happened.

A Rush for Idaho Land.

An immense concourse of progressive American
citizens assembled at Twin Falls Idaho, the open
ing day of the week to participate in the di
vision of $4,000 acres of land disposed of under the
provisions of the Carey reclamation act For every
acre of land in the probe there were six bidders
for opportunities make selections and five out of
six went away disappointed.
But those on whom the lottery god refused to smile
will return and take their chances in other drawings
or will purchase farms and join in the development
of Idaho They have learned that the most wonder
full thing in nature Just now is the combination of
water and sage brush soil, high productveness and
unfaling crops assuring competency within few
years, beyond peradventure.
That the sale of the land of the Salmon river pro-
ect at Twin Falls attracted the attention of many
people was forecast of future of unparalleled de-
country have found out what is here and have de-
ternned to participate in the activity that is to cause
the desert to blossom and yield the fruits of toll in
prodiga abundance.
Congress in its wisdom (and it is occasionally
wise) has granted to Idaho additional two million
acres to exploit under the Carey act and the pros
pect now is that it will be speedily TAKEN for capital
is bound to interest itself where the certainty of
dividends is as we'll assured as it was at the open
ing of the Salmon river project Other projects will
be instituted and other distributions will draw crowds
of homeseekers.
The several irrigation projects in the neighborhood
of Twin Falls have created communities OF real
American citizens, against whom the Mormon 1nfu-
ence can never prevail and with this assurance and
its Incompatible soil, the county of Twin Falls will
prosper beyond example.
