1t is sad fact that father has In

corn. the sky. the old farm. the faith
full horse and the dog have received
more attention from the poet than has
father.
Yet father is the one VINO at least
starts the wheels going round. If the
fire is bright, if the children are ade-
quately shod, if there is a steak and
pudding on the table. the thanks pri-
marily are to father. Good manage
ment and thrift on the housekeeper's
part may stretch the family income to
astonishing proportions, but all the
prudence in the world could not bring
about any result if the wage envelope
was not there with which to start.
Consider father. He can eat no

else. Soberly dressed for the most
part. and wearing last winters clothes

length of time day afterday. Hustled,

doubly fearful of defeat, first on his
own account, then on account of those
dependent on him.

his little need Of praise now and then
for what he does.

IMPORTANT DUTY
CoNFRoNTs ARIZONA.

The constitution of Arizona should
be framed by the ablest men in the
territory. Men who are identified
with the welfare of the territory and
identified with the progress of the
community in which they reside BY
the provision of the bill now before
congress the Arizona constitutional
convention will be composed Of one
hundred delegates; an equitable dis
tribution Of this number would give
TO Cochise county eighteen or TWEEN
ty of the total, or about one-fifth.
This viii place a larger share of the
responsibility for the character of the
constitution submitted to the APPROX
al of the people for their adoption.
Cochise county has many men who
would be creditable TO the county and
to the territory as members of the
constitutional convention. AS before
stated in this paper. we desire to see
q conservative constitution, free from
every faint of populism, or socialism,
and one which VIII in no way hamper
the development OF the great resour-

protect and encourage capital brought
to Arizona for legitimate investment
and one which viii give to the people
the means of protecting themselves
against any form of monopoly.
In voting for members Of the con-
stitutional convention the electors
VIII probably not feel bound by their
political ties as they viii be when it
comes to voting for governor, con-
gressmen and members OF the Iegs-

CANNON FEARS FOR
MAJORITY IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 1e--It
became known today through the wife
Of promintne insurgent of the House
that Speaker Cannon fears for the
safety of the Republican majority in
the House next year; that he has
been confiding to close political
friends that the Democrats will gain
control
Seated in a chair opposite the
Speaker on the Chicago express one
night was the wife of a member of
the House who is an insurgent. She
heard all that the Speaker had to say
to a friend who was riding with him.
The woman's attention was first at
tracted to the conversation between
the Speaker and his friend by the fire.
quent mention of her husbands name
and the abusive language used by the
Speaker In denouncing and discuss
ing the insurgent movement.
She said the Speaker was most
positive in his declaration that the
present split and dissatisfaction in
the House, due to the tariff bill and
the rules Of the House, could have
but one result, namely, Democratic
House at the next Congressional cleo
ton
When Speaker Cannon was asked
about what this lady overheard he ex
| pressed surprise but refused to make
any comment, except to say that IA
dies always are right"
The Speaker today gave to The
World this definition:
iCarlisIeism, Reedism, Hendersonism
Crispism, and the ism Of all the other
Speakers who have presided over the
House of Representatives for the last
thirty-six years, the time l have beer

'Cannonism, as Cummins and La
Toilette and others would have it, is
hat imagination which WORKS on the
minds of those people who uon't like
Cannon personally, who nave taught
