Canyons Waning Power.

Elsewhere In this issue may be found
significant interview with Congress
man d. J. Foster, copied from the Bur.
linQfon Free Press in which he expresses
the belief that Speaker Joseph G. Cam
non Is serving his last term as the pre-
siding officer of the House, and recog-
nizes the widespread demand for a
change in leadership in that body.
This interview is significant because
Mr.. Foster is not likely to lead for
lorn hope as protest against the
Speaker, but because it IS recognition of
mind that exists both in the East and
West antagonstie to Cannonism. The
Speaker il man of great force and I'M.

that term, but he IA not III sympathy

The reform politicies Of leaders like
Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes do not ap.
peal to him. TIE Is thesproduet Of an
age Of easier political yirtue, when great
corporations contributed heavily to the
compaign funds Of both great political
parties and received very generous con.
sideration in revenue bills, few questions
being asked as to methods Of doing bus.

his friend ex-Congressman Littauer Of
New York prevented the passage Of the

Speaker was plainly with those elements

consumers

PLAN BIG SPORTSMANS'
SHOW AT SEATTLE FAIR
Fly Casting, Canoe Tipping and other
Aquatic Feats Are Included
in the Program

The Sport sman's show of the Alaska :
Yukon Pacific exposition will be held
August rs, q and Is, and entries for the
various events are sufficient to insure
an interesting meet. The program COW
ering the meeting has not yet been ar
ranged completely. but the official
events recognized by the National As
ISOLATION of Scientific Angling Clubs, of
which Seattle is a member, will be:
Distance fly casting, accuracy ny
casting. delicacy and accuracy fly cast
ing, half-ounce distance bait casting,
half-ounce accuracy bait casting, quar-
ter-ounce accuracy bait c--sting, obsta-
Gle accuracy fly casting and distance
bait casting, one-fourth ounce.
August % is the date now announced
for the handicap trap shooting match,

ceived.
A number of aquatic events are
scheduled for the first two days of the
meeting, and these include canoe races,
canoe tipping and all the popular COM
petitions for which the paddle craft are
adapted The aquatic contests will
probably be held on Lake Union.
The Lake Washington landing of the
exposition supplies an ideal spot for the
fly casting tournament, and the inter-
est manifested by angling clubs
throughout the United States and Can
ada give promise of noteworthy gath
ering. Trophies and prizes will be Of
fered for competition. and the Alaska
Yukon Pacific championship cup will
go for the highest score in all classes
of fly and bait casting classes.
