.. - Speaker Cannon's Cigars.
New York Times. " ..~.. 3.

We note with regret that the Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, had no
idea of swearing off, smoking. We
had hoped that the advent Of the
tenth year Of a new century would
bring to Uncle Joseph new hight
but the only one that it promises is q
light for a fresh cigar. The indlca-
tons are now that he will ever be a
slave to the tobacco habit. " This j.
a pity, for the Speaker is enslaYed in
no other particular. he stands be-
fore the world proudly as the = cap
tain of his soul and master Of his
life. Incidentally he is the captain
and master Of many of his fellowmen.
As for the quality Of Speaker Can
mons cigars, we firmly believe it to
be good. Credence should not be
given to the report that he: receives
them in barrels. That is merely a
Washington correspondents exaber-
ant way Of stating that the Speaker
has laid in through his own fore
thought and the kindness of bis
friends, large supply of smokes TOR
the remainder Of the session. Cl-
gars that come in barrels are not the
kind that quiet the Speaker in moods
of irritation, that lend pungency to
his wit and clearness to his vision.
The speaker is a good judge Of to-
bacco and men. We had vainly hoped
that he would 'swear off,, smoking,
not because his cigars harm him, bit
for. the sake of the example to his
multitudinous nephews. But in spite
of his persistence, We wish Uncle Jo-
seph the happiest Of new years. .

believed it to be the duty Of a gov

which be found on the statute books.

could be made in regard to approprla-
