JUNGLE JOE" AND THE FUTURE

Whatever may be the effect on the country of the tariff bill recently enacted into law, we think the rumor that Uncle Joe' Cannon, the speaker of the house of representatives, is con- sidering voluntary retirement, either to private
 life or to place in the ranks of the congress siOnal privates, so to speak, may be taken with a large grain of salt
 The speaker declared only recently, jocosely on the surface of things, but, in all probability, seriously enough of heart, that he proposed to stick it out to the finish die with his political ''boots on,' and to be ''buried at public ex- pense" We think it quite likely he will do just that We may love him for the enemies he has made for himself or for the party tenets he up- holds; we may regard him as terror to good government and foe to democratic institutions generally or an enemy to only few specific things. We all must admit one thing, however
 he is fighter without fear, and he has the courage to hew to the line he establishes as the right line to his way of thinking. He is stand batter of standpatters-a stalwart of stawarts He may be wrong, but he is game-just about the gamest in the entire outfit And you have 70 respect him for 1t. no matter what else you may think of him and his way of doing things
 Moreover, he is popular with his 'nephews,' y and whatever they may say of him for cam paign purposes or for consumption at home they speak little evil of him in Washington. In his personal integrity no one seems to have the slightest doubt; John Sharpe Williams only recently paid high and deliberate tribute to that. His politics may be eXecrable, but even in that he is precisely what his followers make him-nO less, no more.
 Wherefore, we opine that "Unce Joe" will not retire of his own free will and accord the while his present mental and physical status remains undisturbed Had he lived hundred years or such matter ago. he would have been one of Napoleon's Old Guard, mayhap. At any rate he is fashioned of that stuff He might have died for the empregoo or bad-but he would not have surrendered
 That is the way ''Uncle Joe" looks to us at close range. And if that be treason, our friends and foes will have to make the most of it.

FARMS FOR WORKING WOMEN

A group of enterprising Chicago seamstres- ses, calling themselves the Idals Guild, :" have bought fruit farm of one hundred acres in Illinois. There they will make common home and win their livelihood from the soil and the weather. This is not an isolated sign of the turn of the tide back from the city to the farm It has found almost a duplication in New York where number of working women for the sake of summer vacations, began by leasing a farm in New England on shares and found their experiment so successful and profitable, in both health and money, that they finally bought the property and went there to live. Of course, there was mortgage involved, but the profits were enough both for their livelihood and for interest and sinking fund.
 There is more in these recorded undertakings than the mere desire for change It indicates that the former ambition of women and girls to earn what seemed to them high wages in factor les or in shops has been diverted in a more wholesome and natural direction. The history of industrial conditions in such manufacturing centers as Lowell affords an illustration. There the daughters of New England farmers were the first operatives, making their homes in boarding houses that were under more or less austerer supervision. But immigration and the tremendous development of the cotton industry have made the experiment a tradition There may be something in this movement toward rural life of interest to women's trade unions. Such organizations might find it worth while to look into the possibilities of feminine cooperat- i've farming, not as substitute for wage-earn- ing in cities, but as desirable outlet for those workers who are fond of life in the country.

DOING GOOD WORK

During the hot months of the summer sea son the Globe branch of the American Mining congress has not been idle. Although great many of the fifty odd members have been out of the city, frequent meetings of the branch have been held, and very important and inter- esting business transacted.
 The national convention of the American Mining congress will be held in the city of Godfeld Nevada. from September 27 to Octo Der ? and all indications point to this conven tion as a most important event in the history of the mining industry. From small and ob scure beginning, with only handful of mem bers, the American Ming congress has grown to a strong and influential organization witf most favorable recognition from the govern. ment and from the mining public of the entire country.
