eight months. The satraps of the Can,
non machine will hold a meeting and
PICK some man to 60 to Cannon and
tell him that for the safety of the sys-
TEN ne must announce Immediately
his retirement.
The domination Of Cannon over his
lleutenants is such that any one of
them would rather meet death than to
lace the speaker on this proposition,
because Cannon has no intention of re-
tlrlng, and will not take kindly to the
suggestion; but he is impossible, and
MS lleutenants know it and fear that
II ne continues as a factor he will
carry the system down with him.
They know that for their W good
the system must be saved. They are
guarding three propositions.
The first is the right in the speak
ershlp of inquisitorial recognition. The
second, the power which the system
will do everything to preserve, even
to eliminating the present speaker, is
the power of the appointment of COM
mlttees, under which, as is we'll
known, a part of the house control
hinges.
THE third factor of control which
the machine will try to preserve is the
membership of the speaker on the
committee on rules.
The condemnation of Cannon can
no longer be identified as sectional. I
am in receipt of letters from nearly
every section of the country, official
and private alike, and all tell the same
tale of a widespread determination to
veto the power Of this man.
Cannon may not know that he n
gone, probably does not, but his lieu.
tenants know it, and from this time
on their whole endeavor will be to
save the system and transmit, unin.
paired, its machinery to another per.

FIGHTING TREE PEST
B9OWNTAil AND GYPSY MOTHS
CAUSE FOR ALARM,
Bulletin Issued Urges Nurserymen to
Have All Stock Received From
Abroad inspected.

Baton Rouge.-The State Crop Pest
Commission is using every effort to
prevent the introduction of any more
injurious insects into the state.
IN order to guard against the
oFoWntall or gypsy moth from the
European countries, the commission
requires all nurserymen to report on
arrival of nursery stock from across
the ocean, in order that it may be
promptly inspected.
The commission is mailing to each
ndrseryman in the state a letter re-
gardlng these pests, a portion of it
is as follows:
las the time for the receipt Of for
eign shipments of nursery stock is
now at hand, We wish to again call
your particular attention to our let
tiers of last season regarding the
necessity OF notifying US of the arri-
val of all such shipments before they
are unpacked, in order that we may
inspect them for browntail moth egg
nests and gypsy moth cocoons.
I'VE cannot afford to let these in
sects gain a foothold in Louisiana,
for not only would it mean practi-
cal ruin of the nursery business, but
every tree and shrub in the state
would be endangered.
They are pests of fearful destruc-
tlVeness-Worse than the boil wee
VII and the San Jose scale combined.
The latter feed on the limited num-
Der OF plants. while the gypsy and
browntail moths feed on practically
everything. New England is today
spending over half a million dollars
per year fighting these pests, and
their introduction to the Southern
has been prevented only by
a rigid inspection of all the foreign
nursery stock upon its arrival at the
nurseryman's premises.
You should notify us at once up
on arrival of any stock from foreign
countries, before you unpack it, as
the eggs and cocoons of these moths
are often found in the packing. Tel
us at our expense and we
Will send an inspector by next train"
