health prevented her bling much in
touch with public matters. But she al
ways had a deep interest in patrlo-

temperance. Her home was the abode
of hospitality, and she will be missed
by a large circle OF friends who had

March 26, 1910.
The political weather forecast to-
day is still stormy" In spite of the
peace reports which have been going
out from here, there is still danger,
If not very serious probability, that
Cannon will not last thru the session
as Speaker. A prominent Insurgent
said today If Cannon did not resign
he would he deposed. Many of the
Insurgents are not yet in favor of this
measure, but the sentiment for 1t
is growing stronger,
The reasons for this are two. IN
the first place, the Regulars have
not been very conciliatory. Tho Can
non has apologized somewhat for his
vicious speech, the men OF his crowd
have not been willing to admit that
they are beaten, and they have gone
ahead and run over the Insurgents the
same as ever. The new Rules Com
mittee does not contain a single In
surgent, and there has been no other
recognition of the victory which the
anti-Cannon forces won. In fact, the
new Committee has been filled with
men whose loyalty to Cannon is be-
yond question, and many of whom
have been touched, at least, by the
breath of scandal in regard to some
of their doings in Congress. Dalzell,
Smith of Iowa, Smith of California,
and such men make up the majority.
They may be depended on to do just
what Cannon wishes, and they have
already given some evidence that
they are not in a chastened frame
of mind.
However, this situation has certain
advantages for the Insurgents. 1t puts
the entire responsibility on the Reg
ulars. and they will have to bear all
the blame for any delays or break
downs in the programme that has
been promised Taft. The Insurgents
have maintained that as they were
fighting for a principle-that of the
right of the House to rule itself,-it
would not be decent for them to
fight longer simply for places on the
committee. SO they have kept quiet.
Also, the Insurgents have wished
to restore such harmony as is neces-
sary to get the Taft programme of
bills put thru in short order. They
voted for Cannon for the purpose,
and ii. y have kept quiet on the per-
sonell of the Committee partly for
that reason. But there is no sign
that their forebearance is having any
effect. The Cannon men are trying
TO accomplish the same things they
did before, under a new method, and
they are not exhibiting the least in
terest in really getting the work done.
There is every evidence that they in
tend to fool along with various mat
tiers, till toward the end of spring,
and then put the big appropriation
bills TO the front, and excuse them
selves for not passing other laws on
the ground that the appropriations
must get thru at all hazards. The
Insurgents are not in favor of this
game, and will block it IL they can.
The second reason why the senti-
ment against Cannon is coming to a
head again is that the Congressman
are hearing from their districts"

GOVERNOR VETOING:-Gov VIII.

acted as if the treasury would behave
like the famous widows cruise of oil.
and appropriated money without ar
ranging for any way to get it. A good
many desirable bills are falling under
the governors axe, but the real
blame lies with the legislature that
did not provide money to pay the
bills with.
BRUNER ON WAR PATH:-One Of
the vetoes that caused the most re-
gret was that of the Bank Examiners
bill. This was very desirable bill,
and the governor vetoed it on the
ground that it was unconstitutional

love the governor has come out with

NEW LIBEL BILL:-The governor
has allowed to become a law with
out his signature a bill to change the
libel law. Under it, if a newspaper
which has published a libel on some
individual, retracts the libellous state
ment as soon as it is informed of
the facts, the injured person can only
recover for what damages he can
prove he has actually suffered, and
he cannot collect punitive" damages.
DEMOCRATIC SPLIT:-As a re-
suit of the high-handed methods of
the Whallen crowd and the lobby in
the late legislature, there is develop
ing a wide split in Democratic ranks
which promises well for the Republi-
cans. The Beckham democrats are
tending toward temperance, and the
Whallen men toward an open alli-
ance with the whiskey men.
