10 SPEAKER CANNON ALARMED

% SPEAKER CANNON ALARMED
Developments may show the de-
claration OF President Samuel Com
pers of the American Federation OF
Labor that he will defeat Speaker
Cannon for reelection to the next
Congress to be an idle boast. But
there are anmistakable signs that
uniopixed labor is not the only ele-
ment In national politics that Is after
Mr. Cannon's scalp this year. Further
more. indications are not lacking
which eloquently proclaim that the
speaker ia not viewing the pending
contest with his usual SNUG compla-
cency. He has begun his campaign
for reelection much earlier than IN
former years and Is displaying an
energy in waging HIS fight which can
be attributed only to grave appre-
hensions with regard to the result.
Speaker Cannon Is by no means
the popular idol in the district that
q great many people believe him TO
be, basing their belief, perhaps. upon
the fact that the speaker has been q
long time In Congress. That he is not
immune from defeat was strikingly
shown when he was showed under
in the campaign for the Fifty-secondl
Congress. However. Mr.. Cannon is a
man Of considerable wealth and OF
large business affairs In Danyille. ILL.,,
where he and his millionaire brother
operate In co-partnership. The
speaker is q machine politician OF the
old stripe and this equipment for
e6ectual campaigning is reinforced
by . temperament Of rough-and-ready
senialty and by the ever present

Eraexinu Flesh.

1t Is curious fact that, although
jewellers In northern climes must have
known for ages that a low temperature
preserves flesh from putrefaction, it
never seems to have struck any one
that this natural fact could be turned
to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon
stuffed the historic chicken with snow
and thereby caught chill which killed
him. 1t is perhaps even more curious
that an experiment resulting in the
death Of one Of the most eminent men
In the world should not have called any
attention to an already well known
principle which might have been read

matter Of fact. 1t was not until the year

Here's a paragraph from the Pal
estine Herald that is full of good
sound sense: THE trusts have fore
ed thousands of men out of business
in the manufacturing line, and to
hold up prices have curtailed oper-
atoms, thus throwing thousands
more men out of employment. bring
ing distress to great armies OF men
who earn their bread by daily toll
in the factories and shops. There is
only one guaranteed occupation for
such men where the trusts cannot
touch him, and that is on good
farm. Down here in Texas there are
millions of acres to be had on reason
able terms and at fair prices, where
man can make a good living and
money, and all the trusts on earth
cannot deprive him of that living.
The greatest philanthropist of mod
ern times is going to prove that man
who will bring the great idle class In
touch with these farms and put them
In the way Of making an independent
living. 1t Is great work, and some
Carnegie could do no greater work
than helping men to get homes on
good farm lands"

The Philadelphia Record, which

American society told story about 4
German friend Of his who was taken
Ill. For many days the German was
close to death, but after time he
showed improvement in condition. The
doctor told the Germans wife that her
husband might have anything to eat
that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
limburger cheese, ana the wife. being
a generous woman and pleased at the
improvement and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had taste for it, put some
cheese in every room In the house. 1t
Is easy to imagine the aroma.

the door he asked:
