MR.. cANNoN's FAME.
TNeyafia Representativel.


Mr. Cannon will lose nothing by re-
tirement from the speakership. He has
beaten the record already for contin-
uous service in that exalted Office, and
the moment the fight over his office
ends the UNIVERSAL recognition of his
work will come. But the administra-
ton which he has supported and which
now undertakes to relieve itself of him
will profit nothing by it's action. The
controversy with the republican party
has progressed to a stage where it can
be stilled only by the elimination of
Taft, and it is safe to say that not in
the whole country will the president
win one real friend by his present
abandonment of Cannon, while of Can
mons friends; and admirers who will
sicken of the presidents conduct in the
matter, there are nulttudes. 4r.
Cannon's fault, if he have a real po-
litical fault is that he is so regular in
his republication. that he has certified
to the president where he could not
possibly be in sympathy and has per-
mitted himself to be the target Of ar
rows that were really aimed at the adj
ministration. Such self acrifice is real
ly the occasion of his prospective
downfall; but. when he is down it will
be discovered that for the Taft admin
istration he has been a shield and not
a burden. Cannon can stand the pres
emf performance if Taft can. Cannon's
fame is secure.
