CANNON BUILT BONFIRE THAT

INSURGENTS CALENDAR WEDNESDAY," THE
blow THAT KILLED UNCLE"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March
22.-Now that the clash of bat
tie has subsidized, the tactics of the
house revolt stand out clearly.
When Cannon was last re-eiect-
ed speaker, the only concession
the insurgent republicans forced
was the establishment of "Calen-
dar Wednesday"
That is, on Wednesday each
week the rules committee was de-
barred from debating what meas
ures should be considered.
Cannon has been laying for
calendar Wednesday ever since.
Last Wednesday the chance
came. An unimportant resolution
dealing with the census was called
up. The insurgents objected that,
not being on the calendar, it was
not in order.
Cannon ruled that the census
was authorized by the constitu-
ton; hence legislation about it
was privileged over any rules of
the house.
The insurgents didn't appeal.
Instead they let the ruling stand,

Did 1t ever occur to you that
this (the Halsey) committee was
discharged without being permit
ted to report it's findings? Why?
Is it possible that they unearthed
that which would verify public
rumor and further discred1t an
already unpopular court? Had
nothing wrong been unearthed the
committee would surely have re-
ported and done their part to-
ward re-establishing the sancti.y
of the court in the eyes of the
people. Instead the legislature
enacted that judges should wear
robes presumably with a view Of
impressing the people with incor-
ruptibility of the wearers, but in
reality to form cloak under
which they could continue dissem-
mating judge-made law in behalf
of the interests that gave them
the opportunity.

squarely against the speaker.

asked leave to have brought up a
resolution privileged by the con-

to be read. 1t provided for the
adjustment of the rules commit
tee and the overthrow of the
whole structure of Cannon rules.
1.-THE constitution says that the
house may make it's own rules,
therefore under the speakers rul-
ing Of yesterday this resolution is
privileged and rises superior to
all present rules" argued the in
surgents.
Cannon, caught by his own
ruling, refused to decide the point.
The deadlock was the result. This
was finally broken, and the Can
non crowd was routed by vote of
1872 to 1853.
Cannon then offered to resign,
but through sympathy some of the
insurgents voted for him, and he
was returned by a vote of 191 to
1856.

Then all the animals were so
disguised with the way their rul-

took him to the BARRIERS and had
him shaved close to his skin, and
they pulled out hio beard by the
roots and they cut off his horns

AGAIN
THRILLED BY
BIRD MAN

Spending nearly 80 minutes IN
the air in three successful aero.
plane flights, Aviator Charles X.
Hamilton yesterday afternoon
thrilled a crowd of about 5000
people with his daring and MAJ
velous control of his gasoline
bird.
Beyond the breaking of a bow
on the upper plane of his airship
while alighting after his first
fight, nothing occurred to delay
the exhibition. This was readily
repaired and caused no inconveni-
ence. Those who saw Hamilton
yesterday and who saw the flights
of various aviators during the
contest at Los Angeles say Hamr-
ton is better aviator and gave
the people more of a display than
either Paulhau, Curtiss or the
others.
About so miles an hour was the
highest speed attained yesterday,
and Hamilton apparently did M,
ascend as high as he did Sunday.
He broke his Sunday record in dis
lance, however, and travelled due
west from the ball park until he
was but speck against the hori-
ION. The heavy atmosphere WAS
ideal for the heavier-than-air ma
chine, but the air was chill an
damp and when Hamilton jumped
to the ground after the last flight
his hands were blue with cold and
he shivered like a leaf in the
wind.
From the try-outs of the en-
CINE, when the bi-plane scudd ed
across the park and rose graceful
iy into the air, to swoop and BIZ
low and glide, until Hamilt On
came back to earth, alighting like
thistledown, every eye was fasteo-
ed on the machine.
| NiDoi VI idcOmanS have
wondered why Mr.. Hamilton con -
use Curtiss bipl-ane when Cur
tiss has been enjoined. He is un-
der bond pending the settlemen,
of the attempt of the Wright
brothers to force Curtiss to nav
them royalties or forfeit the ma
chines. The only difference De-
tween the bi-plane used by Ham
iiton and those being turned ont
by Curtiss is in the size of the en-
sines and the little fan-like planes
between the two large planes.
The stock machines have four
cyiinder engines, while the ma
chine used by Hamilton has eight
cylinders. The controls of the
stock machines are a trifie larger

search of food, he ate the leaves
and the tender twigs, and he found
the tenderest shoots at the top of
the bushes and small trees, so he
continually reached up to them.
so that his neck grew long with
the reaching and ais front legs
grew tall.
The sun was very hot on his
shorn body, and he freckled ter
ribly, not small freckles, but great
big ones, so that after a while he
was speckled with large brown
blotches. And the trees kept
growing taller and he had to
stretch up farther and farther to
get enough to eat.
A long time afterward the goat
wandered back to the other ami
mails, and when they saw him they
didn't know him.
. Whatever have you been do
ing?" asked the beaver.
Z i've been eating the leaves and
twigs, as you told me-" said the
|goat.
Show us the trees" said the
lion. So the goat took them and
showed them, and the hyena roll
ed on the ground with laughter.
You've been eating rubber trees. -
he laughed, "and you're not a
goat any more at all. You're the
|original rubberneck and you
must have a new name"
And Of course you can guess
that they called him the giraffe.
The next story will be told by
lF1zziwig. 1t will be called "The
Vinegator.'

The campaign preceding the
1908 election had witnessed the
exposure of corruption in our su-
preme court and had resultea
prior to the converting OF the leg
islature in the resignation OF
Judge Root. Judge Goss was
selected TO fill the vacancy. Cor
porate interests, with Goss and
Chadwick on the bench at once
foresaw the possibility of a ma
jority Of the court becoming
friendly to the interests of the
people and concluded that a larg-
sr court was necessary. The pos
sfbility of a friend of some legis-
tators who were doubtful, but
needed, being appointed to a SUI
preme judgeship, induced many
to vote for a measure which added
two more judges to an already to,
