John Sharp Williams, leader of
the minority in congress, and the
Democratic members who are follow
ing his lead, have inaugurated a
fight against the speaker and the
rest of the stand-pat. no-vote Re-
publicans who are trying to evade
any vote on the important legisla-
ton recommended by the president
and hung up in committees by the
speaker and his associate dodgers.
To this end Mr.. Williams refuses
to allow any important action to pass
the house by unanimous consent but
insists on a roll call and other fill
clustering steps until he is assured
that the house will be permitted to
record its own views on the most
important of the pending measures.
The minority does not mean to op-
pose these bills; on the contrary,
there is remarkable readiness In
the Democratic ranks to vote for the
presidents measures while his own
party leaders are smothering those
same bills in committee.
Discovering that Mr.. Williams and
his colleagues mean business, Speak
er Cannon Is now preparing to bring
in special rules preventing debate on
appropriation bills and otherwise
gagging the minority in the hope of
forcing a surrender of the filbuster-
ing program. Mr.. Williams, how
ever insists that the fight will go on
until he has assurance that the i'm
portant bills are brought into the
house where members will have to
go on record.
OF course. the purpose of Mr.. Can
non, Mr.. Paynes. Mr.. Dalzell and the
other dodgers Is to prevent vote.
They have no desire to support the
bills, and they are afraid to vote
against them, so they are resorting
to a time-honored trick to escape
responsibility. That is why the coun-
try is treated to the spectacle of a
congress which is not permitted to
vote on its own measures, to debate
important appropriation bills or to
support its own presidential leader
in legislation which he thought DIM
portant enough to warrant special
messages. That is why the tariff on
paper and wood pulp remains for the
benefit of the paper trust. although
q majority of both houses of con-
gress are pledged to vote for the re-
moval of the tariff If they have a
chance.
And that is one reason why Joseph
G.. Cannon. speaker of the house and
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation, stands no more show of get
ting the nomination than II he were

to be held here will doubtless be the

San Diego, by reason of being the

the enthusiasm of its greeting. For

been working night and day, and the
results of their labors are already

have been set to prominent citizens

Someone who has been watching the
squirrels in Central Park lately says
that they show many amusing charac-
teristics. If male squirrel finds anoth-
er animal in his nest, down comes the
whole thing, and a new one is built in
a different locality. A squirrel was seen
one day to sniff around the foot of the
tree where he had his nest, and then
dart up like a streak of lightning. Pret-
ty soon came screenings and howlings
from the nest, and then a strange squir-
rel came running down the tree, pur-
sued by the rightful owner. At the
bottom of the tree a fierce fight took
place between the two, the observer be-
ing obliged finally to separate them
Then the squirrel who lived in the tree
ran up again, and presently down came
a shower of old rags, bits of paper,
dead leaves, etc, showing that the irate
squirrel had not left twig of his for
mer home, For day or two after this,
instead of hustling around and getting
another nest together. master squirrel

New York journalist, Harris Mer-

great that in few years he was a
