The little folks acquitted themselves

to have our friends visit us and see
what we are doing.

Speaker Cannon is crushed. but moi

the days of the campaign about Dan.
vile, III. He tells the same stories
and smokes the same black cigars
But the story has lost its sparkle and
and the cigars are pufed in a more
subtle silence.
Nothing that he can do or his party
can do will remove the sting of what
has happened.
The Republican press, contrary to
expectations, is not deeply sympathiz-
ing with the speaker. Most conser-
vative papers regret the incident, but
add in explanation that Connonism
was gradually divorcing the party from
its leaders. Some papers go further
than this and insist upon the resigna-
ton of the speaker. The Chicago
papers are almost Of one voice in in
sisting that it is the duty Of Speaker
Cannon. in the face of what has oc-
cured, to withdraw from the chair.
His usefulness is al an end.
Democrats, after the heat of excite
ment, reviewed the situation content
edly and agreed that it was we'll to let
good enough alone. No further effort
will be made by the Democratic men,
bers to force the resignation OF the
speaker. Representative Burleson S
motion, vacatina the chair. was i'm
prudent and untimelv. but can be con-
doned because OF the exciting circum-
stances which fathered it. Since con-
ferring, the Democratic members have
wisely decided to stand solid and
await an opportunity to defeat Republi-
can u.asures vital To the continuance
Of the majority party in power, with
out trying to force the issue with the
speaker.
Cannonism is destroyed. and it is
much better to continue Speaker Can
non in the chair than to contend with
the martyr Cannon on the floor. The
sentiment of the American people is
always with the under dog. Just now
Cannon is not entitled to any great
sympathy. He has received only his
due. But if Speaker Cannon was re-.
moved by the votes Of the Democrats,
it would initiate against the cause
which has Aourished wonderfully well
this winter.
Having reached this understanding,
the Democrats began the week in
peace. The insurgents are pluming
their ruffled feathers, and the regulars
are counting their noses and wonder
