ONE lone bandit held up a pas
senger train near Fairfield, Neb.,
one day last week and forced the
conductor to carry sack through
the passenger coach into which
the passengers were made to
place their cash. The robber then
dropped the sack and himself off
the rear end of the train telling
the conductor to "skidoo," after
which he took his own advice and
has not been apprehended. What
a pity that conductor and his
passengers had not been taking
the same brand of nerve tonic
that the robber had.

Gus fire at Fort Worth. Texas.
One man is dead and SIX others
are badly injured and the prop
erty loss is estimated at S2.OOO,-
600. Small boys and a carelessly
thrown cigarette in a barn was the
cause. A fierce gale was blowing
at the time and the fire was be-
yond control in a very few min
utes. If Texas had the same
law regarding the sale of cigar
cites that Kansas adopted. this

THE FIGHT IS ON.

majority and exposing the per-
fdy of the handful OF democrats
who joined the republicans in
support of Cannonism. The fol-
lowing statement was issued:
The democratic members OF
the house of representatives of
the Sixty. first congress in caucus
assembled declare:
I'VE deplore the action of those
democrats who supported the
Fitzgerald plan of saving Cannon
ism. This action was in conflict
with the caucus action OF the
party, in violation of its platform
pledge, and, as we believe, in con-
flict with an overwhelming DEM
ocratic sentiment. The demo-
cratic party of the house disa-
VOWS their action and disclaims
all responsibility therefor.
Under the guise of giving to
the democracy of the house rep
resentation on the rules commit
tee and on the ways and means
committee, Speaker Cannon aP-
pointed on the rules committee.
as democratic member, the op-
ponent of the house in its fight to
reform the rules, who is in accord
with the speaker, he appointed on
The ways and means committee as
democratic member, a gentle
man known to be wholly opposed
to the democratic tariff view and
shown by his vote to be opposed
to any change in the Cannon rules.
"We condemn the false pre-
tense of the speaker in these ap-
pointments he has granted to the
democracy on these committees
and we hereby declare that in
neither of these appointments is
the democracy of the house or of
the country represented and we
decline to recognize such ap-
pointees as representatives of our
party on said committees.
This arbitrary and unjust con-
duct of the speaker demonstrates
anew the urgent need for a
thorough and real revision of the
rules and better spirit OF their
application SO as to curb the
speaker, protect the members and
free legislation and legislative
procedure from bossism.
The issue is too great to be
confined within party lines. OF
nationwide Importance, it chal-
lenges the consideration of every
American voter whose neck is
free from the collar of boss and
whose back knows not the ma
chine drivers lash"
The action of Speaker Cannon
in selecting Congressman Fitz-
gerald as the minority member of
the committee on rules was a
gross violation of the rules and
usages of the house of represent
atives. If anyone is appointed to
committee as a democrat, he
ought to be representative of his
party, and Speaker Cannon knew
that Mr.. Fitzgerald was not only
not representative of his party,
but that he openly and notoriously
betrayed his party into the hands
of the republicans. If Mr.. Fitz-
gerald's services to the republi-
can party entitled him to place
on the committee on rules, he
ought to have been put on in the
place of republican, and not as
democrat. 1t is adding insult
to injury to put him on the COM
mittee over the protest OF the
democrats and then use his ap
