Speaker Cannon.
prInglleId RepublIcan.

Springfield Republican.
Speaker Cannon, being interviewed
at a summer resort in Michigan. re-
sponded when approached by a re-
porter. why in hell should 1 notice
Fowler" After he had blown of a
good deal of steam the speaker die
tated this reply to the Fowler letter:
1T is beneath my contempt and
dignity to notice any statement made
by Fowler that there was any sort
of an arrangement by which the House
tariff conferees were named. 1t is be-
low my notice" All of which illumin-
ates the character of the man who pre-
sides over the national House Of Rep
resentatives with autocratic power. 1t
has been held that the speaker is not
a car, being but the servant of the
members. But Mr. Cannon struck a
crushing blow at that line of defense
when he punished a lot OF members in
the recent allotment Of committee
places. Even those who had been wont
TO defend the speaker were staggered
by his demonstration of personal re-
sentiment. Let II be added that the
speaker INDUCED in more violent char
acterization Of Mr.. Fowler than the re-
porter was permitted to print. The
spectacle of Joseph G. Cannon is a
sorry one, and very much against the
dignity Of the legislative branch Of the
national government.

WESTERN LEGISLATION.

hUEER legislation Of all sorts has been passed
~ in several states, but it is highly probable
that such laws will be obeyed in the breach
1t is said that the Texas Legislature has passed
a law declaring that the skies of Texas arc as
bright as the skies of Italy. Probably the skies
are as clear as those of Italy except when Joe
Bailey gets on a rampage and beclouds the at
mosphere of Texas with fierce denunciations OF
his opponents.
But if this alleged legislation OF Texas is
Joke, there has been some real legislation in far
western states that is causing some trouble.
Governor Hay, OF Washington State has been
called upon TO justify his violating of the anti
tipping law. 1t seems that the august Governor
gave waiter tip of ten cents and for so doing
ne IS accused OF violating the law which forbds
tipping The Governor was seen to leave ten
cent piece on the table and the waiter took il
But we should think ii a man holding the posi-.
ton OF Governor OF so great state as Washing
ton should be called upon to explain The ever
ready order OF the itching palm would ask whv.
II ne was determined to violate the law. lie
didn't do it with larger sum.
But this is not all. There is an anti-cigarette
law in Washington state and report has it that
Justice OF the Supreme Court of the state was
seen violating the law by walking around the
lobby of his hotel brazenly and defantlv smolS-
ing cigarette
Neither posse of police nor coroner's posse
was summoned to take care Of the Judge The
cigarette smoking Justice was observed bv an
admiring throng, and many a small boy doubt
less qualified to be Supreme Court Justice of
Washington SO far as the smoking OF cigarettes
is qualification. Just why the Justice was not
arrested has not been stated. There are folk
however in states where there is no anti-cigar-
cite law who would think that Supreme Court
Justice should be forced to read dozen vol
umes Of tariff testimony at one sitting as a
punishment should he be found with cigar
cite between his Blacllistonian lips.

SUCCESS OF THE FAIR.

WHAT a record breaking crowd there has
been at the exposition Of the New Castle
County Fair Association. Certainly the hearts
of the managers should be warm. They have
been blessed with good weather and a large at
tendance on each day, and the public has appre-
ciated their efforts. Surely there is every in
centive to the managers TO keep on improving
the Fair, and TO make permanent thing of it.
The races have been exciting and interesting,
and the exhibits have been good. But thsre is
still room for more exhibits. If anything can
be judged by the attendance at the exposition
this year, it would seem that the managers
would be fully justified in planning for a
permanent yearly exhibition and the erection OF
regular wooden Fair buildings. There seems
TO be no reason. why we should not have one of
the largest ava best Fairs of the country. We
had good horse racing as any other Fair
can shoyvZmuch better than most of them.
-f+0rse racing still is attractive to the people,
especially in this neighborhood. Because of the
matinee races, great interest has developed in
trials of speed. The horse has many friends in
this part OF the country
1t seems to It's that the managers have pur-
sued a wise course The Fair has been upbuit
step by step. 1t started at almost nothing, but
it soon developed that the public was ripe for
Fair and so the exposition has been improving
and growing year bv year The managers did
not undertake to do anything that they could not
carry out. They prohted by the experience OF
other Fairs that went TO the bad i'll Deda-
ware.
The New Castle exhibition this year was
really great outing for the people They went
there from the city and from the country.
Hardly family in the country round about was
not represented at the Fair on one day. 1t was
in many respects like big picnic
Such eNpositions have considerable cduca-
tional value. They show among other things
the best fruits Of the husbandman's toll, ant
they should stimulate farmers to better en-
deavor. They should compete with one another
The Fair was visited by many people from al
parts Of the state and wear by year it will becom
more and more of state institution.

Chester Wow Of a aDaiIy Shave"

Chester Times.
A reader OF the Times writes to adj
vocato O daily shave for men, or
shave as frequently as IS needed to keep
the face in tidy appearance: and we
commend his suggestion. He figures
that his tonsorial operations cost him
less than cent a day, although he
shaves every day. Many a man spends
twenty times that amount every day.
Tor his cigarettes, which don't do half
as much good for the good looks of the
human countenance as a clean shave.
The barber, the clerk, the salesman,
the bookkeper, the sales agent, the po-
y ceman. the trolleyman-everybo who
has to deal with the general public
should present face free from fuzz or
stubble every day. If you cannot ar
ford to patronizo a barber shop, set up
your own shop. Good home outfits do
not cost much and you win more than
save the price Of razor in six months.

FLYING FOR HEALTH.

n LYING machines will be put to various
practical purposes as they are perfected.
Already one admirer of the aeroplanes declares
that flying is beneficial to the health. He is
Western~man. He reports that he was i'll with
rheumatism for many years and as relief took
voyages in balloons. Within short time his
blood resumed its normal color, his appetite
came back and red meat agreed with him. He
was completely cured.
This beneficiary informed a friend who was
i'll with consumption and the friend tried bal
looming and cured.
Recently noted surgeon performed an oper-
alton for appendicitis man who was taken
i'll on one of the big ocean steamers. The oper-
alton was successful and the man recovered. The
sea air helped him. We may have hospitals in
flying ships and surgeons performing operations
in mid-air. Indeed it looks as if the automobile
were getting out Of date in this rapid age.
Well there is one thing about our possession
of the North Pole-no fleet of warships will be
required to defend it from invasion although the
navy experts at Washington will probably argue
that more batteships should be built in order
to keep the Japanese at a safe distance. The
report by DR. Cook that there is land at the
pole is also a disappointment to office seekers
who might wish places in our new possessions
There will be no syndicates exploiting the polar
region and it will not be necessary to keep a
standing army there. In fact, the pole is not
likely TO become burden to us.

One can now take off and keep offextra

permint water-any druggist has them
and go on eating as best pleases you;
don't worry about results.
The double chin and ponderous stomach
will. soon show signs of melting away.
They will not sag in or wrinkle, however;
lust go down nice and smooth and even.
That effect is due to the armies natural
action of the mixture.
This is explained as follows: Blame
overfatness to the stomach. II is getting
lazy. Instead of making energy and mus

fat. The above mixture C%orrects this de-
