Mr. j. M. Clifton, of E211S Catal-
do avenue, was injured in a cave-in
July IA. He was going around on
crutches and could not put one foot
to the floor. The following Is what
he says:
II took $50 degrees heat in the
Bake Oven and the pain and swell
ing has nearly left me. After the
fifth treatment | discarded my
crutcheS and in a few days will
be able to go back to work.
From the injury to my knee,
rheumatism set in and | suffered
terribly from it. / think the HUI
man Bake Oven is the greatest
treatment on earth and l certainly
recommend it to anyone who is suf
fering.
Il will be pleased to answer all
inquiries in person or by letter,
as feel very grateful for the bene-
fits l received from this wonderful
treatment"

Gated in the Washington Sanitar

left the caucus when it was proposed to
adopt the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Democratic caucus that no Democrat
should accept appointment on any COM
mittee without the previous approval of
the present Democratic leader"
The Democrats who would not stand
that were Representatives Fitzgerald,
New York; Moon, Tennessee; Edwards,
Brantley, and Livingston, Georgia.
The Speaker will appoint only five
committees at the special session: Ways
and Means (Which will consider tariff re-
vision), Rules, Printing, Mileage, and
Accounts.
The fight in the House was a nasty
one from start to finish. Regular Repub-
licans, Insurgents, Democrats, and Dem
ocratic Boilers had their knives out, and
the fellow who winked at the wrong time
or smiled when he should have frowned
got it in the neck" or will before the
special session grows old. Just at the
present time it really does not look as
though anybody had any victory to crow
over, and to one who has looked on Con-
gress for many a year, especially since
Mr. Cannon began to run things, it looks
very much as though your Uncle Joseph
still has the whip hand, but that he will
use it as he always has, for the best in
terests of the country.
And back of him is the majority.
The National tribune., 1909-03-18

ments that Fitzgerald made have the ap-
proval of Speaker Cannon. In fact, he
considers that the Republican organiza-
tion came out winners. He stated that
the Champ Clark amendments. to the
Rules had been dictated by William Jen-
nings Bryan, and that he considered the
substitute for them offered by Fitzgerald
and adopted a triumph over the Bryan
forces in the House. 1T was" said the
Speaker, "a protest by conservative Dem
ocrats against populism and all kindred
things" The Insurgent Republicans, 30
strong, stood pat with their Democratic
allies, but the allies broke the combination
by bolting the caucus pledges. That is
the situation today, with Champ Clark
spang outside the breastworks and not
even the power to name a man for a
committee.
The amendments to the Rules of the
House are as follows:
The establishment of a unanimous con-
sent calendar, under which members may
call up bills for passage if there is no
objection.
The minority is given the preference of
moving to commit, with or without IN
structions, any measure when considera-
tion of the measure is concluded and the
previous question is ordered.
The calendar Wednesday, set aside for
the call of committees, so that bills which
have been favorably reported by commit
ed by requiring a two-thirds vote, instead
of majority vote, to set ii aside.
Favoritism upon any measures by action
of the Rules Committee in special cases
is prevented.
With the exception of these changes,
the rules under which the House operated
during the last Congress were adopted.
The standing committees will still be
appointed by the Speaker.
And therein lies a point of discord. For
six years Speaker Cannon has permitted
the leader of the minority to name the mi
nority members that were on the commit
tees. He says that he has given this plan
fair trial and it has not worked very
well. He viii now consult with every
member of the House" on the appointment
of members to the committees, hut the
minority leader will have no more power
than any other individual member.
The Democrats held a caucus following
the remarkable action of the "Bolters" in
the House. and mustered only 135 votes,
loss of 80 Democrats of the regular or
ganization. Four prominent Democrats

Senator Hopkins will win tp the fight.
He wrote a letter to- Representative
Thorn, of Illinois, in which he said that
under the primary law it was not good
faith not to vote for Senator Hopkins,
and he also declared that the Senator
had supported Roosevelt policies.
1t IL thousand pities that a man
cannot DO q good thing in these days
without the public getting it all tangled
up and whopper-jawed asfto the real
facts President Taft had for his caddy
at Hot Springs youth, Elmer W. Low
ing, whom he considered to be a very
bright boy with small chance for get
ting ahead down there. Mr.. Taft en-
couraged the young man to study, read
good books, and asked him If he would
like to go in Government employ. Low
ing said he would. President Taft has
now brought the young man to Wash
ington, and is helping him to study to
take the Civil Service examination, so
that he can get good place under the
Government. 1t is not true, however,
that President Taft has undertaken to
give this young man an education at
Virginia Military Institute. Young Low
ing could have been covered into Gov
ernment service as barber or some
such adjunct of the White House, as
President Roosevelt found or made a
way for those he wanted to put in SER
vice, but President Taft chooses to be
perfectly regular about 1T. Just the
same, that young man stands a good
chance of being the Presidents Fidus
Achates on the golf links, for President
Taft says that Elmer Loving is, in his
opinion, the champion golf player of
this neck of woods to-day. So, while
Mr.. Loving is being helped to an educa-
ton by the President, to whom he is
exceedingly persona grata," the Presi-
dent VIII get full return in the compan-
ionship of young man who knows the
game of golf from the ground up" as
President Taft says. and President Taft
prefers golf to any other pastime or
pleasure on earth.
