SOME REAL, LIVE
WASHINGTON GOSSIP

difference whether or not Cannon is
a member of the committee on rules. y
With each passing day, it becomes
more evident to observers On the
ground here in Washington that the
people will reap no benefit during the
life of the present session because OF
the enlargement of the committee on
ruls from five to ten members, and
the elimination of the speaker from
the committee.
There is only one way to keep the
rules committee from being dominated
by Cannonism, and that is to transfer
the majority to the democratic side
of the house. This is why: There
are 21S republicans in the house. OF
these only nine voted in favor of the
Burleson resolution to unseat the
speaker, the vote on which, by the
way, was of the greatest value to the
country, because it forced a clear-cut
line between those republicans who
secretly stand with Cannon and those
who are independent of him and the
greedy interests he represents.
The six republican members of the
new rules committee were selected in
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-04-10

street caucus. In this assemblage
the nine genuine" insurgents were
outnumbered twenty-four to one. Or,
in other words, twenty-three twenty
fourths of the present republican
membership of the house represents
Cannonism. Before Cannonism can be
doWned, this all-potent twenty-three
twenty-fourths of the republican MEN,
bership of the house must be downed.
For therein lies Uncle Joe's" real
power, and no one can successfully
contradict it.
The difference in the cost of living
in the United States and Canada, and
the increased prices in this country
since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich
bill, were practically the sole points
| raised by Foss, Democrat, in his tariff
speeches in the fourteenth Massachu-
sets district, where a Republican ma
jority of 14,250 in 1908 was converted
into a Democratic majority of $40.
The fact that prices of foodstuffs,
wearing apparel and rents average
from 20 to so per cent more in De
troit than just across the river in
Windsor, Canada, was cited by Foss,
and his protectionist opponent was un.
able to satisfy the people that the Al
lrich-Taft policy of excessive protec-
ton was not to blame for the con-
trast. Senator Lodge was called into
the campaign, but he, too, failed utter
ly in his attempt to disprove the arg1I-
ment of Foss. The Democratic candi-
date showed that the contrast in the
cost of living in Detroit and Windsor
was not an exception, but the general
rule between protective and free trade
countries. He cited comparative
prices in Montreal, st. John, New
Brunswick, and Boston, easily disprov
ing the allegation that the everin-
creasing prices in the United States
are merely in keeping with a world
wide upward movement.
Indications multiply that President
Taft and the reactionary supporters
of the administration in house and
senate regard a conflict with former
President Roosevelt and his support
ers inevitable and are therefore pre-
pairing for it. The Ballinger state
ment presented to the Investigating
committee, ridiculing the Roosevelt
conservation policy and abusing the
chief upholders of that policy is open
expression of hostility to the Roose-
welt spirit. For some time, however,
it has been plain that the president
was being led or forced into position
where the possibility of reconciliation
between himself and his ore ieCessor
was rapidly disappearing. There is
no doubt that early in his adnllnistra-
ton President Taft hoped Ger ar en-
dorsement by Roosevelt, but it is eX-
tremely doubtful if he is now optinl-
iStic on that score.
Following the precedent of the old
committee on rules, the new orgaQiza-
ton is making a. practice of swallow
ing bodily and for all time resolutions
disapproved by campaign fund con-
tributing corporations. Should the
committee later reverse this policy,
your correspondent. in justice to the
reformed body, will fully report the
same. One of the resolutions that
has apparently gone to its last rest
in the new rules committee catacombs
is the Rainey resolution providing for
an investigation of the sugar trust
scandal Not a word has been heard
1 of this measure since it was referred

There is a land-a beautiful land.
Where flowers and shrubbery hold
full sway;
Where sunshine and showers
Make pleasant the hours
OF each passing night and day.
There is land-a fertile land,
Where fruits in abundance grow.
Where the birds ever sing
And glad tidings bring
To the land where rich blessings
flow.
There is land in the dear old south
Where pleasure seekers are wont to
stray;
Where balmy breezes gently signing
Summers heat always defying.
Dfssolving night into dreamland Of
day.
This land is the land Of Florida
How well deserving Of its name
Where winters SHOWS are seldom
seen;
Where flowers and sunshine reign SUI
preme
And where all who seek, may joy
obtain.
Come one, come all to Floridaland-
You who are weary and oppressed,
Come where the southern breezes
blow,
Come where the cooling waters flow
And you will find eternal rest.

to the committee, and it is now gem
orally believed to have persisted.
So far as the senate is concerned,
the joker in the administration rail
road regulation bill which will have
the alleged effect of legalizing the
Southern Pacifc-Union Pacific merger,
is still intact. The joker has been
stricken from the house bill. This
joker is but one of many bad features
of the bill which have been carefully
pointed out by Senators CUmmins,
Clapp and others. Referring to the
presidents pet measure, framed by
George w. Wickersham, formerly at
torney for J. Pierpont Morgan and the
sugar trust but now attorney general
of the United tSates, Senator Cum
minis said: Il can conceive of moth
ing that would be so complete a garb
of protection for illegal contracts and
illegal combinations as the one that
is thus proposed
Special interests in Saddle.
"The special interests are Just as
much in the saddle in congress as
they were before the rules were i'm
proved. The fight put up by the in
surgents and Democrats was a step in
the right direction, but Cannonism
was not in any sense of the word
throttled. Cannon will rule the COM
mittee of ten just like he did the COM
mittee of five
Thus spoke William J. Cary of Wis
consin, one Of the nine genuine Repub-
lican insurgents Of the house of rep
Iresentatives. Mr.. Cary voted for the
Norris resolution, and he voted for the
Bufleson resolution declaring the Of
fee of the speaker to be vacant. He
is progressive" Republican. not in
spurts, but all the time-today, tomor-
row and next week
Cary was one Of the twelve Repub-
icans who voted against Cannon for
speaker when the house convened
March Is, 1909. and he will be one
of those who will vote against Uncle
Joe' when the latter is a candidate at
the opening of the next house. Cary
believes the Payne-Aldrich bill was
drawn for the special interests and
not for the people. He registered his
vote against it.
THE enlargement Of the committee
On rules was victory, that is, one in
name, but not in substance said Mr..
Cary to the writer. "A somewhat
false construction has been placed on
the situation. The proper test to ap-
ply, Is. VIII leglSlaJlO0 desired by
the people and legislation for the PEG
pie, have better opportunity to be-
come law now than before the rules
fight" To that question I say, no,
land no man who is qualified to answer
will dispute my word. The new con-
mittee on rules is dominated by the
same influences that the old one was.
Whatever the old committee would
have done. the new committee will
do. Let those who doubt this view
watch the situation closely. l have

The most truthful report Of the
situation that I have seen appeared
in LaFollette's Magazine of March IS.
The article said in part: The effect
of this contest in the house has been
greatly exaggerated. When the cheer
ing and the excitement is over the
nominal defeat of Cannon and his
machine shall be succeeded by calm
deliberation, the American people will
inquire how much has really been

won, how far afield the standards of
true representative government have
been advanced. The victory will
strengthen the morals of the pro-
gressive organization. 1t will demon
strate that the system can be beaten.
But it will be clearly understood that
little was achieved besides the tempo
rary humiliation of an old man of bad
eminence, whose successor the system
must, at all events, soon put forward.
'Cannonism without Cannon is just
as hurtful to the country as Cannon
ism with Cannon. The people must
understand that Cannbnism is short
definition of government by that sys-
tenn. Aldrich and Cannon would have
little power for evil If a majority of
the Republican majority in both the
senate and the house represented pub
lie interest instead of special interests.
So long as the Republican majority
in the house serves the system, it will
make little difference whether Or not

EIkins Would Explain.
Senator EIkipS Of West Virginia
who, it was promised. would explain
and vindicate the provision of the
presidents railroad regulation bill
which will have the alleged effect of
legaIizing the Union Pacific merger, a
Joker in which the whole country is
beginning to take interest, has made
his speech.
Senator Elkins, however, endeavored
to 'explain" the provision about which
50 much complaint has been made by
ignoring it. He read long speech in
defense of the measure which he may
have written himself, but which, it is
understood, was prepared for him. He
asked that he be not interrupted
while reading the speech, which was
accented by many as an indication
that he was not sufficiently familiar
with the arguments he was presenting
to defend them.
Senator Elkins's speech was regard
ed almost as a joke, by the senate. He
utterly failed to disprove the charge
that the proviso contained in Section
~ would legalize the Union Pacific
merger, which the government is now
endeavoring to dissolve under the
Sherman law. As soon as he had fin
ished reading, Senators Bacon and
Bailey challenged him as to the effect
Of the proviso contained in Section u.
The senator has omitted one OF
the most Objectionable features of the
BILL" protested Senator Bacon, who
then called attention to the fact that
Senator Elkins had only casually al
luded to the proviso Of Section y.
The senator from West Virginia, as
chairman of the committee on inter
state commerce, is in charge of this
bill. 1 regard this as the most radical
feature of the bill. regard it as one
which absolutely nullifes the present
law so far as it relates to the restric-
ton against the acquisition by one
railroad of a competing railroad.
think the senator ought to give US the
reason for it
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-04-10

Under the present law a combina-
ton between two competing railroad
companies, the effect of which is to
stif1e competition, is Illegal. There
is no question about that, | presume,
under the decision of the court in the
Northern Securities case. This bill,
in this section directly says that any
railroad company-there is no Hmi-
tation upon tiff it has. acquired up
to this time or shall acquire between
now and the date of the passage of the
bill so per cent of the stock OF an
other railroad company, even though
it be a competing railroad company,
may go forward and acquire the bal
ance of the stock
This provision" said Senator FL
kins, was put in to allow any railroad
company owning so per cent of an
other railroad company to purchase
the remaining 80 per cent. 1t is for
the protection of the minority owning
the other so per cent. Where would
the minority be otherwise? ] stated
this before"
But" protested Senator Bacon, ''if
railroad company has acquired so
per cent, or 81 per cent rather, of the
stock of a competing line in such a
way as TO stifie competition, it is in
violation of the present law, and the
trade would be annulled and the union
could be severed by the courts. But
if this proposed law is passed with
this provision in it the only limitation
put upon the power of a railroad COM
pany, any railroad company in the
United States, to acquire the posses
sion and control of every other COM
peting railroad would be that it must
acquire 90 per cent before the date OF
the passage of this act. 1t legalizes
the so per cent already bought and
authorizes them to go forward and
purchase teh balance. When this act
is passed, if in the meantime the rail-
road company has secured 80 per cent
of the stock, the Sherman law would
be nullified and the Nrothern SecuFi-
ties decision absolutely set aside"

made in wheat prices today and during the
greater part of the session there was strong
tone The frmer markets abroad and stronger
feeling in the northwest, with light pit offer
ings were the main factors. Local bulls bought
freely and there not much opposition to

profit taking and moderate renewal OF SELL
ing by commission houses. Elevator people
bought the September and sold the Decem-
Der at cents premium. Commission houses
also bought September and sold May Local
cash demand slow, but premiums for
both hard and red winter were little firmer,
and outside cash markets were firm. Much
lower temperatures predicted for the north
west, but weather has been fine for securing

makes the Canadian northwest crop 101, ,00o, 900
bushels, against 11s,O00,0OO bushels last year,
making exportable surplus 65,OOO,OOO bushels.
Fears that frost Will catch a part or the

WIFE DESERTION CHARGE

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 23.-Ben-
ianin Cleghorn, alias c. B. Kirby
a life guard, arrested at Long Beach
Saturday will face a charge of wife
desertion and failure to provide in the
local courts. The preliminary hearing
will be at Cucamonga.
Cleghorn denies that he is married
to the woman, and it is probable that
this will be the ground for his defense
against the charge of bigamy. On
Friday he married Polish girl Nina
Niwa. The Los Angeles county Of
ficers have jurisdiction over the big
amy charge The woman who claims
to be his wife recognized him at Long
Beach.
