the form of the Foraker act, this is
a matter of congressional considera-
ton, dependent on the effect of such
a change on the real political pro-
gress on the island. Such a change,
he says, should be sought in an or
drely way and not brought to the
attention of congress by ''paralyzing
the arm of the existing government. y
The president says that. the fact
that the Porto Ricans forgetting the
generosity of this government should
not be an occasion for surprise, nor
be made the basis of charge of in
gratitude
The message concludes: When
we, with the consent of the people
of Porto Rico, assumed guardianship
over them and the guidance of their
destinies, we must have been con-
scious that a people that has enjoyed
so little opportunity for education
could not be expected safely for
themselves to exercise the full power
of self government and the present
development is only an Indication
that we have gone somewhat too
fast in the extension of political
power to them for their own good.
THE change recommended may
not Immediately convince those con-
trolling the house of delegates of the
mistake they have made in the ex-
tremity to which they have been will
ing to resort for political purposes,
but in the long run it will secure
more careful and responsible exer-
else of the power they have.
There is not the slightest evil
dence that there has been on the
part of the government, or any mem
Der of the executive council, dis
position to usurp authority or tc
withhold approval of such legislation
as was for the best interest of the
islands or lack of sympathy with the
best aspirations of the people

TEST MPLOYERS
LIABILITY LAW

Spokane, May 10.-Counsel for the
Great Northern Railway company has
served notice that it will test the en-
ployers' liability law. 1t is contended
that the act is unconstitutional in
that it holds a railway company re-
sponsible for the acts of it's officers
whether or not they are in relation
to interstate commerce. The test case
will be made of an action of Jyntaro
Tsmura, a Japanese laborer, who was
awarded judgment for 1880 in a
suit for $1,000. Tsmura and other
1aborers were unloading rails from a
car His fellow workers let go of the
rail without warming and his thumbs
were cut off when the rail struck the
pile. The company was represented
at the hearing and asked the court to
direct a verdict in it's favor on the
ground that the injured man was not
engaged in interstate commerce, and
that the act of congress of 1908 is
unconstitutional. Judge William B.
Huneke overruled the motion, saying
the question would have to be taken
before the supreme court for a ruling
on the constitutionality of the act,
which makes railway company
liable for injuries to an employe, re-
gardless of the decisions of court and
statutes relating to fellow servants.

UNCLE JOE IN HIS
18TH TERM
ONLY HENRY CLAY HAS HELD
THE SPEAKERS CHAIR LONG,
Err THAN CANNON-THERE
HAVE HEEN 33 SPEAKERS.

Washington, May 10.-Speaker
Cannon was 73 years old Friday. He
received congratulations from men,
bers of the house and from members
of the senate and from democrats as
well as republicans From friends in
other cities he received felicitous
messages, and particularly numerous
and hearty were the greetings that
came from Danville, H., which is
Mr.. Cannon's home city.
Mr.. Cannon was born in Guilford,
n. c., May 7, 1886, but at an early
age moved with his parents to In
diana. He began life as clerk in
grocery store. He studied law in Gin
cinnati and was admitted to the bar
in 1858. He settled at Tuscola, ILL.,,
soon after and was elected state
attorney there in 1861. In 1875 he
moved to Danville and was elected to
the AID congress. Since 1908 he has
been speaker of the house.
If he lives through the present con-
gress Mr.. Cannon will break the rec
ord in length of service as presiding
officer, with the eXpection Of Henry
Clay, who served nine and half
years in the chair, to Mr.. Cannon s
eight years. Andrew Stevenson of
Virginia and Thomas B. Reed of
Maine served seven years each as
speaker, which is one year more than
Mr. Cannon has served, although he
will surpass them by one year if he
outlives the 61st congress.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-05-10

Mr. Cannon has already broken the
record for length of service on the
floor He is now serving his 18th
term. He came into the house March
4, 1873, and if he outlives the 61st
congress he will have served contin
ually from March, 1873, to March
1911, a period of 3S years, with the
exception of two years, when he was
defeated for the SID congress. The
next record in length of service is
that of John H. Ketcham of New
York, who served II consecutive
terms. General Ketcham was NOM
mated for congress 20 times and 10
times by reclamation. He was de-
feated by the democrats at three cleo
lions and at II was successful.
Since the formation of the govern
ment, from March 1889, to March 4,
1909, a period of 100 years. there,
have been 33 speakers of the house,
who have served an average of about
three years and eight months each.
Schuyler Colfax is the only man who
was ever speaker of the house and
vice president of the United States,
although Theodore Sedgwick of Mass
achusetts, speaker of the 9Th con-
gress, and Nathaniel Macon of GeOr-
gia, who was speaker of the Sth and
9th congresses, were presidents pro
tenn of the senate.
Mr.. Cannon is the only speaker
that Illinois has ever furnished the
house. Kentucky and Massachusetts,
have furnished four speakers each.
Pennsylvania and Indiana have three
each to their credit. Maine, Virginia,
Georgia, New Jersey, South Carolina
and Tennessee have furnished two
each, and Maryland, Connecticut,
Iowa, New York and North Carolina
complete the list with one each.
