The ruling of Speaker Cannon
which was the cause of his over
throw in the house was not one of
his own making or an attempt to
usurp power not previously held by
the speaker as has been claimed.
1t was the same ruling made by the
great democrat. Speaker Randall.
and backed up by the great republic
can martyred president, James A.
Garfield. 1t certainly leaves small
grounds for the republican boilers
in the house to excuse their treas
on to the party in a great crisis.
In making the ruling Speaker
Cannon gave the following explana--
ton:
Fortunately. in this crisis. the
chair is not compelled to rely on
his own judgment. swayed as 1t
might be by the passions and pur-
poses of this hour. He can look
back to another hour when, in
day of calm, the navigators who
steered the business of this house
took their latitude and longitude un
embarrassed by the exigencies of
the tempest.
THE pathway of the chair has
been blazed not by any flushed ma
jority in a moment of factional sue
cess; not for any ends of one poll
teal party as opposed to the wishes
of another political party; nor I'M
der auspices which prejudice the
chair because OF memories of poll
teal affiliations of his own. but on
question of order raised by a
great Democratic floor leader in
this house and decided by a great
Democratic speaker.
"On December IS. 1878. this iden
teal question arose in the house.
Mr.. Roger Q. Mills. of Texas. pre-
posed, as a question of constitution
al privilege. exactly as is proposed
today. to offer from the floor
ton looking to the amendment Of
immediate consideration a PROPOSE
the rules: and. when. objection
was made. as today. Mr.. Mills ar
gued:
" 1t is the constitutional privi--
lege of o house of representatives
to adopt rules at any time: 1t is
continuing power of which the house
cannot divest ITSELF
THE members of the house did
not agree with Mr.. Mills. and Mr.
James A. Garfield objected. that
II was proposed to carry the power
in this respect further than the
constitution justifies. II the posi-
ton of the gentlemen were correct
a member could at any time inter-
rupt our proceedings by bringing In
a proposition for the amendment
Of the rules.

and the chair measures his words
in memory of the fame Of a man

the great speaker. Samuel J. Ran
dali. heard the arguments for and
against the claim of Mr. Mill. and
decided the proposition to amend
the rules was not case Of consti-
tutional privilege. There was criti-
cism, grave criticism. of the rules in
those days, as there is today; but
no man in that house thought Of

sonant with reason.

THE EARLY SETTLERS.

The old Settlers picnic Saturday at the M. L. Spear home in Farmers ad- dition was very enjoyable and pleas ant affair, notwithstanding the fact that it rained most of the forenoon. The attendance would probably have been better had the weather been good, but, even under the circumstances, there were a goodly number of the old timers who gathered there and spent the day talking over old times.
 Tne rain let up just in tine fir a dinner to be served on the lawn and it was fine dinner, too-both in quan- tity and quality. Needless to say, the, old settlers did full justice to it, for while some of them are beginning to get along in years their appetites have not been at all impaired.
 After the dinner, the afternoon was pleasantly spent in q soCial way. The sun came out and an informal program added much 10 the enjoyment of the occasion. The officers elected for the cnsning year were: W Cummings, president; Miss Elizabeth Cosner, sec rctary. The old register was destroved n the Cummings fire and new one was started A n1niber were present from Phoenix

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 UTAH IRRIGATION CO.
Construction of a Dam May Be Out
 come of It.

The meeting for the election of of ficers for the ensuing year will be held at one o'clock today by the stockholders of the Utah Ditch and Irrigation company. It was at first thought that the Mesa Opera house could be secured for the occasion but since that building is being occupied for school purposes it is probable that the session may be held in the Bar nett hall or some other location to be determined later.
 The meeting today is of consider able importance and it is impossible at this time to prophecy the outcome. It is possible that individual members will decide to erect a dam across the river of their own and run their nor maj flow through their lateraIs. Such a sentiment has been expressed. It is also known that there are a number of the land owners under the Utah who are anxious to dispose of their canal to the government but are re- strained from so doing by the fact that the company has never been in- corporated and every member of it is compelled to sign for the sale before the reclamation service officials will accept it. A lively meeting Is anti cipated today and the result will be watched with considerable interest.

CAUGHT FUGITIVE
 FROM HE ASYLUM
Taken By Cowboys and Anchored to

Officer Burton. in response to a telephone message yesterday went out to Granite Reef where an escaped inmate of the territorial asylum was being held The man is a Mexican, possibly thirty years of age, and still bears the lettering of the asylum on his shirt. However, before the officer arrived at the reef the man had broken away and took out across the hills where it was next to impossible to follow him. However, by detOur- ing somewhat the man was finally captured by cowboys and tied to a tree. He refuses to talk and eyed the officer constantly during the entire trip from the place where he was captured, a distance of something like fourteen miles. An attempt was made yesterday to get in communication with the officials of the asylum but Owingto the line being out of order, no information could be received as to when the man had escaped or whether he was a violent patient or not. The man has showed no violent traits thus far

BUSINESS GIRL ESSENTIALS.
An Inclination to Work, Attention and
 Poiiteness Make for Success.

One of the most essential things for the girl who, instead of returning to school this fall, intends to make her way into the business world, is po liteness. Next to an inclination to work, an intention to be prompt and attentive to work during business hours politeness stands third in the list of essentials which must be pos sessed by the girl who would suc- ceed
 It doesn't take a business man very long to size up" the new girl who enters his store or office for busi- ness. He knows. in spite of all the theories about the new brooms" which sweep clean, whether or not she is going to make good"
 And make good she must if she in- tends to advance, if she intends to remain with one firm and gain in business knowledge and in the ability to draw a well filled envelope each Saturday night.
 There are plenty of girls of the other type; girls who are content to chew gum, eat caramels and chat with other girls about the young men of their acquaintance, while custom CTS wait or go elsewhere for service. But this kind of a girl never rises above a very small salary. She stays in one place only so long as the em- ployer's patience can be stretched, and then she's in that, to her, ire quent business of hunting a new job
 Politeness in the business world means a lot more than saying Good morning to the proprietor. It means in the business world just what it means in the world at large, where politeness stands for nothing more nor less than an complication of the Golden Rule.
 The girl who enters a store and stands behind a counter making ar engagements with a fellow clerk to attend a moving picture show while an exasperated customer stands be- fore the counter, waiting to make a purchase and catch a car, is not pO- lite. This clerk hasn't the ability to put herself in the customers place and try to render the sort of service she would desire if she was on the other side of the counter.-Boston Herald

This. world famous rifle shot who holds the championship record of 100 pigeons in 100 consecutive shots is living at Lincoln, Ill. Recently inter viewed, he says:-"I suffered long time with kidney and bladder trouble and used several well known kidney medicines. all of which gave me no relief until I started taking Foley Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley Kidney Pills l. had severe backaches and pains in my kidneys with sup pression and a cloudy voiding. On arising in the morning I would get dull headaches. Now I have taken three bottles of Foley Kidney Pills and feel 100 per cent better. I am never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and again feel like my own self" Elvey & Hulett, Quality Drug gists.

USES OF BARK AND PINE.

Those who live in localities where the birch bark and pine needles are plentiful might confer great pleasure or their friends in other localities If they remembered them with little gifts made of these things. Little baskets or frames can be made of birch bark, or if your friend is artistic, just send her a big roll of birch bark to use as she may like. There are many women who would rather have roll of birch bark for present than any article you could buy in the stores. And the pine needle pillow is luxury to the city woman. She would shout with joy if you sent her a box of pine needles all ready to make into a sofa pillow. These are two excellent hints for the women who live in the country where these two things are to be had without mon- ey and who want to give their friends some token which is part of their ln- dividual life, part of themselves.
