UNCLE IoE NETTLEp.

WHAT crude ideas Of newspapers and other
things some of our public men often
have Public men are supposed TO be worldly
wise, to know about things, to have a grasp
that the ordinary man does not possess. But
some times the reverse is true
In the West a very hot fight is being waged
against Uncle Joe Cannon and all his ways. The
West is beginning to think that it is about time
Speaker Cannon was put out OF political leader
ship. because they say he does not represent
Western views but Eastern views like Aldrich.
The fight has become persistent against the
Speaker and Mr.. Cannon who has had the repu

speeches. reading them from manuscript because
the awful newspapers which in a conspiracy
against him distort his words and do not give
him fair show He was real defiant the other
night in a speech delivered in Illinois. He spoke
or read till midnight almost till morning, and
declared the Chicago papers that were against
him and the Kansas City papers would not print
his remarks. But they did.
He had special grievance against a Kansas
City paper, the Star paperthat Colonel Grasty
recently said was the best newspaper in the
United States The Star has been fighting
Uncle Joe, but he was "off his base" if he
thought as he said that the Star would not print
his address Many newspapers would consider
it a high honor to be publicly denounced by
Uncle Joe. Recall the advertising Roosevelt
gave the indianapolis News in his Illuminating
message against it. the outcome of which was
a rebuke and humiliation of the government by
the court when the libel case came up before the
Judge in indianapolis. Uncle Joe evidently does
not know much about the newspapers when he
thinks or says he thinks that they will not print
"hot stuff" from him

advanced as an argument against equal suffrage,
that it should not be adopted unless women
could serve in the army, be liable to the same
duties as men. But this is of course impossible.
The Swiss women evidently have got around
the objection Of the English philosopher
In this country to be sure we have no conscrip-
ton for military or other service in the govern
ment, and the point raised by the Swiss women
is not pertinent here. But would the equal
suffrage movement spread in nations that have
conscription, if the women's organizations should
advocate such plan of governmental service as
that put forward by the sisters in Switzerland?

The Chicago packers, meat men, who control
that necessity of life, have been giving all sorts
of excuses and alleged reasons for the advance
in the price of meat The price of beef seems
to be constantly climbing and the wits are
puzzled to give explanations that conceal the
real reason which is that the packers want to
make enormous profits in their business. A
little added here and there in the aggregate
amounts to big sum The people object, and
there is a hubbub about what the government
will do to dissolve the trust, but the prices keep
on going higher A statement by Armour and
Company in listing a bond issue on the New
York Stock Exchange, throws some light on
why the price of meat is high. The company
according to its own showing made gross
profit OF $40, $4,000 during the year on capital
ization OF S2o,ooo,ooo and earned a surplus of
SzI2zo26 or an equivalent of dividend of 900
Rather good figures these are for the housewife
to think OF when the man who sells meat tries to
explain why it is going up.
