The same thing is true of leather.
The American leather producers would
never have been able to make a start
If they had been forced at the very
beginning TO sell their goods cheaply
because there were cheap foreign
made goods here. But the hearings"
showed that now our leather and
our shoes are made as cheaply as any
where. Therefore the tax on foreign
leather and shoes should be taken off:
and we will not have to pay so much
for our shoes, II Mr.. Taft succeeds in
compelling Uncle Joe" to be fair
and honest in changing the tariff.
But Cannon has been In power so
long that he has put many men un-
der obligation to him. and he is so
strong that no one is willing to take
the risk of being a candidate for

elect another Speaker, or Mr.. Cannon
again. II Cannon keeps on making
appointments of the right sort be-
tween now and then it win be almost
impossible to defeat him. Among
the men who are mentioned as can

Walter I. Smith of Iowa. Fred c.
Stevens of Minnesota, Charles Il.
Townsend. Of Michigan, and Mr.. Cooper
OF Wisconsin.
Mr.. Taft was visited last week at
Hot Springs, where he is resting, by
Frank ii. Hitchcock, who managed his
campaign lie offered MIR. Hitchcock
the place OF Postmaster General after
next March, and MIR. Hitchcock accept

everyone TO be first class man for
the place, and just the one who will
be needed to put in operation the
postal savings banks and parcel post
schemes which are expected.
But more important just now is the
fact that Hitchcock will be Mr.. Taft's
political manager. He has come up to
Washington now TO see how many
congressman are willing to fight "Un-
Gle joe" II Hitchcock can find com
gressmen enough who are willing to
go into fight against the so-called
Cannon crowd" or machine" he
will advise MIR. Taft to try to have a
Speaker elected who will be decent

Perhaps the rules of the House can
be changed SO that the Speaker win
not have the power to appoint all the
committees. Representative Gardner
Of Massachusetts, has a plan for hav-

Hart promptly discharged the lac

and to the father Of the little colOreG
boy
Judge Hart declared that the boy
should not have been sent to Jail

court said that if the father failed tt

court might take up the matter anC

old son does snot deserve any con
