Of CANNON
(By United Press Leased Wire)

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. o.
Six out of seven Minnesota voters
believe that Joseph G. Cannon
should retire as peaker of the ma
tional house. Republicans, demo
Gratis, socialists and independents
share about equally in this view.
Three voters out of four take the
position that he ought to resign
without waiting for the adjourn
ment of congress.
The Minneapolis Journal tonight
announces this result of postal
card vote taken in Minneapolis:
"The postal card inquiry was
sent to several hundred subscribers
outside the Twin Cities. The names
were selected at random. On the
reply part of the card each one was
asked the following question:
THE QUESTION WAS.
''In your opinion, should Speaker
Cannon resign from the speaker
ship of the house of representa-
tives?'
The total vote on the question
was APT yeas and 124 nays.
In other words, 77.5 per cent of
those voting believe Speaker Can
non should resign.
Still the 124 who voted mo-. are
not all Cannon men. Forty per cent
of them. or AZ by actual count,
think Speaker Cannon ought to
give assurance of his retirement,
so as to remove his personality
from the next campaign. The AZ

22.-"Whcn the officer becomes
wiser than the law, the law should
remove him for it's own protection"
This was the declaration made
tonight by Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger, in a speech made before
the Good Government club of Will
liams college. which was apparent
ly an attack on Clifford Pinchot
who was recently removed as chief
forester of the United States.
Although not mentioning Pinchot
by name, Secretary Ballinger's
speech was full of peppery allu-
sions to the policies pursued by
the former forester and his spirit
of the law" doctrine.
This was the secretary's answer
to the charges against his admins
tration of the interior department,
and his conception of that branch
of the government service in con-
serving the natural resources of the
country.
1T is elemental under our repub-

BARBER WAS
SORRY SIGHT
Coasted Down Main Avenue

Face.

A FTER falling down the en-

in the mud on Main avenue below
until report was turned in to the
police, George w. Barber was a
sorry sight when he was brought
to the station by Sergeant Dial and
Officers Fitzharris and Scott at
about 1880 last night
His eyes and nose and ears were
stopped with mud when he was
taken to the Emergency hospital,
where Steward Milburn chiseled
the mud out of his organs of sight
and hearing. The steward dug the
bits of gravel out Of the, mans
cheeks and nose. He had evidently
slid down the embankment for a
part of the distance on his face.
Barber was too drunk to realize
his serious condition. An examina.
tion revealed that no bones were
broken.
He stated that he was a stone
mason, living at 01128 Division
street with his wife and two little
boys. In the city directory he is
listed as blacksmith. He is about
so years of age. 1t is thought that
he had been wandering in front of
the club in a drunken condition be-
fore he stumbled over the embank-
ment and fell to the street below.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The one big

attitude will the Irish nationalists
assume in the next parliament?"
The probability--made almost a
certainty by today's voting-that

eral political opinion is that the

that thousands will abstain from
meat until prices come down.
In San Francisco the labor coun-
Gil probably will consider the adop-

lists to join in the meat boycott. No
other action has been taken owing
to the claim of retail butchers here
that they make little above operat-
