CONCERNING UNCLE JOE"

Last week one Of the ablest and
best liked Republican members of
congress, j. Adam Bede, of the Eighth
Minnesota district, was defeated for
denomination by members OF his own
party because he declared himself UNI
fiinchingly in favor of the reelection
as speaker OF Joe Cannon. This seems
to be fair indication of Republican
sentiment concerning the ear Of the
lower house OF congress. Golfers
Weekly, which so far as 1t has any
policy, rs certainly friendly to the Re
publican party. denounces Cannon I'M
reseryedly, and last week printed a
communication In which II was said
that II Taft and Sherman were elected
the long arm Of the speaker would
reach from the house end Of the capt.
tol to the senate and make the puppet
Sherman do the bidding OF the auto
crat In the speakers chair.
President Roosevelt In 1901, said of
Cannon: 1--WE cannot escape from the
fact that it was no credit TO the Re-
publican party OF the house that Mr.
Cannon of Illinois should be one Of
its leaders. Cannon then was tenn
porarily out OF office. the only time
he has been ont OF Office In thirty
Ave years Among all the prominent
Republicans there is none upon w-lom
the country looks with so much hesi-
fancy and doubt. His face Is always
set against any measure for the good
of the people. his power is invariably
pxerfed for those measures that are
demanded by the great interests.
Whether as result or this attitude
or not, the fact remains that after
thirty-hve years Of officeholding. with
only a moderate saIary most OF the
time, "Cncle Joe" has grown rich. his
wealth increasing as his power in
creased. He is emphaticaily an Issue
In this campaign merely an issue
between the Democratic and Repub-
| lican parties. but between the decent
and patriotic element and the corrupt
element which be has SO long domI-
mated.

bandit himself made dash at both

crimes traced their inception to qua
lilies which, when developed instead
of perverted, cause other men to be
honored, knighted, sainted and sung
