NATIONAL POLITIC S.

Henry G.. Campbell Of the milwaukee,
Journal is in Washington writing excel
lent letters upon national affairs. He
SAYS that President Taft is utterly ig
norant Of the impression he created in
the west, thinking his trip was an ova
ton, while those who were with him re-
alize that it was frosty in the extreme.
Mr.. Campbell thinks that the party
in power will sacrifice Speaker Cannon
in order to control the government and
to dominate the people:
Public opinion, slow in getting
aroused and in making itself felt, has
at last proved too powerful for Cannon
The storm Of protest against him and
against his usurpation Of the powers of
representative legislation has become sc
strong and 50 general, that even thick
hided politicians, who view with con
tempt the ordinary restIessness which
the people manifest at times, are thor
Oughly alarmed. The uprising against
Cannon is something the like Of which
they never before experienced. Not
only is the temper Of the people unmis
taxable, but Republican organs are
joining in the cry against Cannon,
many Reactionaries are expressing hon
est Indignation at the speakers arbi-
trary policy, and even political Teuten
ants are advising congressman who
have stood with Cannon to desert him.
THE leaders Of the Republican
machine view the congressional election
next November with fear and anxiety.
Even during the presidential election
last year they lost about half their ma
jority in the lower house, and they
realize that il the coming ''off year, .
which at best is always dangerous to
the party in power they are likely to
lose control Of the house. They will
sacrifice Cannon in order to strengthen
their position as much as possible"

Volta the ElectricaI Pioneer.

Perhaps the most familiar of all
words in electrical phraseology is the
word volt. which means the unit Of
electrical pressure or potential. The
name volt is given TO this unit in honor
of Alexander Volta, the famous italian
scientist, who experimental with cleo
tricity more than d century ago.
Alexander Volta was born in Como,
Italy, in 1745. In 1774 he was appoint
ed Professor of Physics in the Gymnas
ium of Como. III 1919 he was given the
chair of physics at Pavia and in 1871

A National Crusade

La Follette's Magazine: Since the
exposure by McClure's magazine and
other publications of the appalling pro
portions the white slave traffic has
attained. strenuous measures have been
taken TO wipe it out. Several states
have already passed laws bearing
on this shameful trade. Nearly all the
governors of the United States have en-
listed against it. Now comes word that
President I 'ft and Congress intend to
combat the ell. Are the forces of
corruption strong enough to withstand
the onslaught?

Philosophy of Padua. He died in the
year 1927.
Out of voltas extremely simple ex
periments grew the first chemical
battery which differed but slightly from
the wet and dry batteries of the com
mercia1 world today which supply the
current for telephones and telegraphs,
signals, gas engines, automobiles and a
thousand other things which require a
small current of electricity.

Tax the Ancestral Acres.

New York World: If the budget is
sustained by the British public the
Lords realty holdings, after centuries
of exemption from the burdens which
have oppressed the small householder
will be called on to bear the brunt of a
most radical experiment in taxation.
1t is by a curious irony of fate that the
Henry George single-tax idea should be
first extensively appied-although in
modified form-to the ancestral acres OF
England.
