Burlington Hawk-Eye: The Des

ing, at intervals, upon the Hawk-Eye
and number of other Republican
newspapers to define their attitude
toward Speaker Cannon whether
they favor his reelection to the
speakership. The Des Moines paper
is INDUCING itself during the heated

reply. The attitude of the Hawk-Eye

the house election for the Republican
nominee. He is supporting, and the
Hawk-Eye is supporting. the Re-
publican nominees OF the state, con-
gressional and local officials That is
good Republicanism and requires no
apology.
In like manner the Hawk-Eye
hopes Mr. Kennedy will again have
opportunity to vote in the house Re
publican caucus for Mr. Smith for
speaker. If the Iowa delegation
unites in that move, there is good
reason to anticipate Mr.. Smith will
be the next nominee, and the next
speaker of the house if the Republic

Perhaps the most notable feature of tho in
vasion of Washington is found In the number OF
famous and wealthy widows who have taken nm
their abode there most of them purchasing or
erecting mansions. Among the wellknown Wild
who have adopted" Washington are Mrs
George NJ Pullman. widow of the founder of the
sleeping car company; Mrs. Mark Hanna Mrs
John Hay, Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney Mrs r. r.
Hit, Mrs Phil" Sheridan. Mrs. John A. Logan
Mrs Thomas f. Walsh, widow of the Colorado
mining king; Mrs Mary Scott Townsend who in.
herited many millions made in Pennsylvania coal
and oil interests Mrs. Slater, who requires 10
servants to minister to her lone comfort in a
monster mansion and number of others.
The influx of wealthy householders has caused
the price of real estate in Washington to advance
by leaps and bounds in those favored sections OF
to considerable extent monopozed by the fash
tonables. Land that few years ago sold for
81 to So per square foot has Jumped within few
years to ST. FER square foot, and in some exclu
sive neighborhoods it is almost impossible to
cure a large building site for love or money The
mansions which have been erected have cost
all the way from $4,000 to s1,0o0,00O each and
some OF them have stables and garages that have
cost as much as $4,000 each.
The two principal hubs of this new moneyed
colonization Of the most beautiful city In the
world are found in the little circular parks
