Cannon Spiked.

The best days work, or rather weeks
work accomplished by the lower house OF
Congress in twenty five years was that
which ended the absolute power of Speaker
Cannon.
Credit for this work is due to the demo
Gratis who stood with unbroken ranks, and
to insurgent Republicans who setting prin-
ciple above party united with the demo
Gratis for the preservation of the lower
house in a representative capacity.
The Speaker heretofore has had the
organization Of the entire machinery of the
subordinates at will. Owing to his mem
bership ex-officio on the committee on
rules, it vas within his power to let in or
keep out just such legislation as he desired.
Members, except for a few ~favorites who
helped hold the machine together, were
powerless, and legislation was reduced to
the will Of one man.
1t is readily understood that this was
not only q most undesirable, but a most
dangerous state of things. 1t practically
oliiulldlcu LLe representation dilu IuIOuSH
him the people. 1t opened the door to
trust influences and corporate favoritism.
Faster han any other one thing, it hasten
ed our trend toward an oligarchy.
Now let no one think that Uncle Joe is a
devil, with hoofs and horns. He is simply
a very firm and very pleasant old gentle
man, who fully appreciated the power sur
rendered from time to time into his hands,
and who like James the Second Of England,
rather than voluntarily surrender that
power will be forced to abdicate.
Speaker Cannon is not solely response
BILE for unsatisfactory conditions in the
House OF Representatives. There were
Cars before his day, for instance Reid.
The rules OF the house have been such as
to tend toward the creation of Cars. But
the democrats and the few republican in
surgents who accomplished the overthrow
OF one mans power in the house deserve
the everlasting thanks of all our citizens.
That wa a good days work for the people,
and a bad days work for corporate inter-
ests.

Fashion Notes for 1910.

False hair from Lombardy peasants
and Southern Europe is all the 60.
Hats, parasols, and paraguas are mer-
ged. 1t Is impossible to tell the difference
between them at a distance OF a furlong.
Young boys turn up the hem Of their
trousers in order that polka dot socks
may not be worn in vain.
Little girls still look like carnations
with the stems running the wrong way.
Men will again wrap themselves in
wool this summer in preference to the
cheaper cotton weave
Womens hand bags will oe much larger
than their pocket books this season.
No provision whatsoever has been made
for the babies styles. 1t is supposed that
the old regulation style will still hold good
until futher notice.
Little boys are to wear shoes in the
summer time as a punishment for being
little boys.
The hook worm, while it is much worn,
has been discarded by the ultra fashion,
able. A few however, still cling to the
old conventionality.
The dresses OF little girls are still cut
with an eye single to high water.
Boys and young men o wear the
balloon pantaloon. While a great NUN,
Der OF yards OF cloth are required tc make
a pair, still there is some consolation in
knowing that they are gradually approach.
ing the women in the matter of dress.
AS usual, anything will do an old mar
ried man, from a cunning sack up to
crazy quilt.
