Washington, Dec. Eff Repre-
sentative Crumpacker would accept
the leadership Of the militant band of
Republicans in the House of Repre-
sentatives who are openly fighting
Speaker Cannon and the House rules,
that position OF authority would be
conferred upon him at once.
The House insurgents" would like
to have Crumpacker as their leader
according to Representative Victor
Murdoch OF Kansas.
If Judge Crumpacker would accept
he would become the hero of this ro
NANCE" added the able young repre-.
sentative from the Sunflower state.
Among the insurgents there is gen
eral acquiescence in the idea that
Judge Crumpacker is just about the
man that is needed to lead the in
surgent' cause"
Evidently. however, the Indiana
representative does not care to be the
hero of the romantic play that the lin.

Not Inclined to Join.
While neither Crumpacker, nor Bar.

Cannon and the rules. which permit
the speaker to name all of the stand

to join in any demonstration at this

comes to act they will at least go SO
far as to vote to deprive the speaker

any demonstration at this time.
1t is believed that when the hour
comes to act they will at least go sc
far as to vote to deprive the speaker
of the power of appointing the com
mittees. which makes him a legisla

share the view that there has been
too much Numbering in the index
and not enough quiet, systematic plan

POOR HELP The POOR.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

POOR HELP the POOR.
There are some beautiful lessons in
1.-THE short and simple annals Of the
poor"
Here is one from Chicago:
A physician observed a young wo-
man who scrubs the floors In big Of
fee building where he has Offices car
rying a baby.
The baby bore no sort Of resem.
blance to the girl. but was carried in
such a tender, motherly manner as to
cause the doctor to inquire Of another
scrubwoman:
us that her baby?'
mo. indeed" was the response. THE
poor thing belongs to neighbor wo-
man who is desperately poor. Rosa is
can go out to work. Rosa can keep an
eye on it while she does her own
work."
Surprised at this fine revelation OF
practical helpfulness. the physician
continued to talk with the scrubwo-
man, who said:
Things Of that kind are very COM
mon among us poor people. You COM
Portable ones seem to think that it is
only the rich or we'll to do who do
charity work. l tell you If you would
associate with US tenement folks you
would find that
The poor help the poor ten times
where the rich help them once!"
Which Is without doubt q truth.
We are apt to forget that philan-
thropy is not necessarily a matter of
dollars and cents. Tender hearts beat
under shabby clothes. and in succor
calloused hands are often held out
There are good reasons why the poor
most help the poor.
Living IN close touch in the tene-
ments. they are at hand when misfor-
tune overtakes a neighbor. They know
what to do and why and how to do it.
The girl Rosa. warm hearted and
kind. lives neighbor to the poor moth
er with the babe. She knows the moth
er's desperate straits. She knows the
mother must work or starve and that
she cannot take her baby. 10 know
and to be close at hand is to sympa.
thize. To sympathize is to help.
Besides
What the poor do for the poor they
do quickly. In their hard lives pathet.
ic tragedies are constantly happening.
These emergencies call for instant
help. And he twice helps who helps
quickly.

When Sanity Quits.
Old Santa Claus is busy now.
He leads us to the shops,
And helps us plant the Christmas
trees
That bear such wondrous crops;
He shows US what will please friend
Or make the children smile,
And calls on us to celebrate
In truly merry style.
Alas, like many another friend
In life's relentless grind,
When feasts and holidays are done,
He's rather hard to find
Ere January first comes round
He seeks his icy hills.
He's full of good suggestions, but
He doesn't foot the bills.

THE NElT MOVE OF
 TEMPERANCE PEOPLE MAY MANDAMUS THE BOARD OF
 SUPERVISORS. Dem landing of k That the Vote of the Two Districts Be Counted
 as One.

Street talk yesterday was naturally largely confined to a discussion of the events of the day -before-the local election that resulted so wet in the town district and so dry in the country district.
 It is generally admitted that the temperance people, or. more specifical- ly, the anti-saloon league, made one or two fatal mistakes The most serious. possibly. was the selection of Tempe as the place of holding the test case Mesa would unquestionably have been better locality. In the first place, it gave a larger dry vote at the last election in proportion to the votes cast than did Tempe. Then. too. taking the middle town of the three. other things being equal. was not a good move. More than one man who on almost any other proposition would have been ab- solutelv drv. was wet on the ground that it was unfair discrimination against Tempe to have it dry and a wet town on either side. Had the election been held in Mesa instead of here. it is the general opinion of peo- pie here that it would have carried and had it first carried there. there is little doubt that the same result would shortly have followed in Tempe
 It is understood now that the tenn perance people are planning to make another move. The plan proposed is to mandamus the board of supervisors. compelling it to count the vote of the two districts as one. Whether or not this plan will be successfully carried out remains to be seen. If it should. it means that the precinct goes dry by a majority of some fifty votes.
