sitting legislation and make it possible
for little or no legislation to be passed

speaker. Should l become candidate
for congress again, | would certainly
oppose the election of Mr.. Cannon as
speaker of the house, and l would throw
my whole soul into the movement for
such reformation of the rules of the
house as would remove the despotism
of the speaker, and make it possible for
an individual member to be more self
respecting, and further, that would
make it possible for the constituency Of
every member to actually see how its
representative stands upon the various
questions.
On the tariff question my position is
very generally known. / was untiring,

has a hide to sell? When compared
with the duty that has been given to

upon manufactured woolens is abso-

abroad and al home, which would be
used as a basis for tariff legislation.

tariff legislation accordingly. The pro-

But you are sure to notice It when
you do find one. He does just as eff

It that attracts your notice.
The barber as rule stands at the

most Of the time at your left
For that reason you won't find a
1eft-handed barber in the middle Of a
line Of BARRIERS. HIS chair has to stand
at one end so that he won't bump into
the right-handed one next to him.
Like most left-handed persons his
right is more dexterous than the left

Leon tried several new men in the
lineup and were not as strong as
Iuey ouOulu nave Ueeu DIS Two reg u
lars were unable to make the trip
and this materially weakened them
AS for the game itself, Leon would
have won easily had there been
an impartial referee, but as he was
an Osceola man every advantage was
given them, and Leon was penalized
repeatedly for nothing until all Leon
could do was to punt. The boys,
however, never gave up but kept
lighting them, but it was of no use as
they could not manage to carry the
ball over Osceola's goal. In the Sec
ond half McGinnis recovered a punt
for gain of forty yards, being
tackled twenty yards from Osceola' s
goal when time was called. The
team as whole shows they are made
of the right material and should be
able to give a good account of them
selves in the game against Mt Ayl
