The insurgents learned long ago, how.
ever, that Cannon is a mighty hard

This "Juba1 jig, be 1t remembered,
was performed by the venerable target
of an almost majority of Democrats
combined with Republican insurgents,
g combination which promised every
minute to reduce the speakers author
ity by about ninety. nine-hundredth
and end fifteen year fight for the re-
vision Of the rules. The jig dancer
was right on the brink of losing
his premier place as a sort of prime
minister under the president and of
being Inundated personally in the bar
gain, yet he appeared to be as lively
and fit as when some months ago he
he SPARED with Philadelphia jack
O'Brien, the pugilist, in an exhibition
bout. Fancy the Hon james william
Lowther, speaker OF the British house
Of commons, doing a stunt like that!
Well this is a democratic country
1t Is said By Speaker Cannon's
friends that he is not afraid of any
thing IN the United States unless it be

her father some vigorous and effective
rurtiin lectures because he insisted on
wearing twelve dollar suit of clothes.

WOMEN IN A ROLLER CLUB.
Plump Members Declare II Is the Best
Thing For Reducing Flesh.

Plump Members Declare II Is the Best
Thing For Reducing Flesh.
Muscogee, Okla, has roller club.
Its members are all young women, and
they roll themselves to reduce their
flesh They belong to the best society
of the town.
1t all started this way: A pretty but
overplump society matron astonished
her friends by losing her hips. Then
she explained that she did it by roll
ing, which was still more mystifying
until she elueidated further. She said
that she began by rolling over and
over on the floor as morning exer-
else, and she found that 1t reduced
flesh rapidly. She kept at it until she
was reduced to what she considered
the ultra fashionable hipless form.
The result was the immediate organ
ization of the Rollers club, composed
OF society matrons and maids who are
inclined to obesity There are four

women may be seen seurrying to the

garments, lie down and roll over and

pajama costume to roll in because she
finds it does not wrap around and bind

Venerable Legislator Against
Whom the Insurgents of the
House of Representatives Have
Won a Memorable Fight. ::
By RoRERTus LOVE.

"HE ides of March this year will
be memorable in American
political history by reason OF
the sensational climax Of the
'insurgent' fight against the prevail
Ing system of rules under which the
national house of representatives does
business. Incidentally the fight had
become a personal one on the part of
the insurgents, twenty-five or thirty
Republican members, against Joseph
Quincy Cannon Of Danville, Ill, the
present speaker But in larger sense
It was struggle altogether impersonal
to the end that the house may be en-
abled to live, move and have its being
without being held firmly between the
thumb and forefnger of any man who
happens, by grace of the votes of his
fellows, to sit in the big chair.
The insurgents, who come from
north, east and west, stoutly and
strenuously aver and asseyerate that
under the present house rules there is
only one real representative in con-
gress-to wit, Speaker Cannon-who
by reason of the power conferred upon
him by these rules becomes In effect
the whole house the moment he picks
up the gayel.
The speaker, say these tnsurgent
members of his party, is enabled I'M
der the rules to block legislation, kill
any bill at viii and prevent any other
member from doing anything to rep
resent his constituency beyond occupy
ing his seat and utterlng protests.
Man Who Leads the Fight.
In the limelight as chief active in
sargent just now is George William
Norris of McCook, Neb., who came to

the house lust about the time, seven
years age, when Uncle Joe first be-
came speaker Representative Norris
has been insurging more or less all
along, and recently his insurgency has
become most pronounced.
It was the resolution introduced by
Mr. Norris looking toward the elimi-
nation of the speakers alleged car
ship that precipitated the fight which
has made the big noise emanating
from the house chamber heard from
Maine to Mexico and from Seattle to
the Florida keys. Briefly the Norris
resolution called for the raising of the
rules committee of the house from Eve
to fifteen members, to be elected by
vote of the house instead of being APP
pointed by the speaker, as heretofore,
and the insurgents insist that the
speaker shall not be. as heretofore,
member Of the rules committee, and
that the committee itself shall elect
its chairman.
AS q concession to the Republican
regulars the insurgents agreed to the
amending of the resolution by cutting
down the proposed new rules commit
Tee to ten members, but no considera-
tion could induce them to consent to
leave the speaker on the committee.
As thus amended the house passed
this Norris resolution March 10 By
vote of 192 to lob. a clear majority OF
forty against the regulars, several Re
publicans not regarded as true insur-
gents voting for the resolution. On
motion to declare the speakership va
cant, Immediately following the defeat
of the regulars on the rules PROPOSE

days whef tie cdspid0r was tie chief

than the plug hat There are those, 1t
may be interpolated here, who accuse
Mr. Cannon of affecting these more or
less homespun vices just to popularize
himself as man OF the people, though
his friends know he does as he pleases
tust because 1t pleases him TO id so.
Last March, when Champ Clark of

Mr.. Cannon to the chair Immediately

THE BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE
OF NEW ORLEANS.

There was recently issued to the
Business Mems League of New Orleans
an invitation to join the louisiana Anti
Saloon League in an investigation Of
the actual conditions prevailing in what
IS terms the wet and the dry terri
tories, which invitation has been de
, clined.
r xeplyof this Business Mems
League is, in substance, that it believes
in local option, but it-is- not impressed
with the proposed inquiry as to the ben
ehts or the Disadvantages of the liquor
traffic.
Il was proposed TO make this inquiry
through a joint committee of fair and
fearless men of the two leagues, with
view Of reaching the truth and giving
il the widest publicity.
II, as pretended by the Business
Mems League, prohibition does not pro-
hibit, and if as much or more liquor is
sold in the wet territories as when
the saloons were opened and Haunted
their defiance in the face of decency,
then the challenge should be accepted as
it would give this Business Mems
League the opportunity of not only
confounding the prohibitionists, but of
leaving them in the most ridiculous and
disereditable attitude
Il will not be denied that if the saloon
IS essential to the prosperity OF any COM
munity, that it should have ready cham
pions to endorse the evil, but where is
the man. claiming the least Of respecta-
bility, who is not engaged in the traffic

livelihood, that win defend it 7
VIII the Business Mems League of
New Orleans openly endorse the saloon
and the liquor traffic, the breeder Of de-
hatchery and villainy, the destroyer of
health and happiness and the home
This Business Mems League having
declined 70 Join in the inquiry proposed,
IS again being urged through a second
invitation rendered BY Claude l. Jones.
president Of tlzs Louisiana Anti Saloon
League. In this second invitation the
Business Mems League Is given no op-
portunity for evasion. To decline would
mean that it dare not investigate.

NEW ANIMALS FOR AMERICA.
Proposed to Introduce African Game
Into Our Wild Lands.

GEOPUsSo 20 tHtFoQuce AFRICAN Game
Into Our Wild Lands.
Captain Fritz Duquesne, former
Boer soldier and hunter of big game In
Asia and Africa. proposed that he be
permitted to introduce into American
wild lands the wart hog, wildebeest,
hartebeest, varieties of gazelles, the
smaller zebra found toward the Afri-
can coasts, the fmpala and the oryx.
Conditions in the southern and south
western states, he says. are ideal fer
their propagation.
IAN of them are fine game animals
and excellent shooting, and several are
splendid eating" he said. "As for the
zebras, it's only a question of time
before they are used as beasts of bur
den. The Germans have beer most
successful in breaking and training
them. / have seen teams of zebras
in German East Africa working under
harness like so many donkeys."

FORTUNE F0R A FRANs Halls.
Description of Painting For Which
Otto Kahn Paid $4,000.

| Otto Kahn Paid $4,000
A magnificent Family Group" paint
ed by Frans Halls, the famous painter,
for which Otto II. Kahn, the New
York banker, recently paid S5o0,000,
outbidding ]. P. Morgan, and which
has been lent to the Metropolitan mu-
scum, came from the collection of Colo
mel Warde of Westerham. 1t was
bought by John Warde at the William
| BrfStow sale held In Dover street, Lon
don, in 1859 and remained in the
| Warde family, unknown to the public,
until 1906, when it was shown in the
winter exhibition of old masters held
at the Royal academy in 1906 and
aroused the establishment of the art
critics that Sin these days Of eonnois-
seurship and curiosity" as the London
Times put it, "such chef d'oeuvre of
one of the greatest of portrait painters
| should have hung for all these years
entirely unknown in an English coun-
try house."
The composition consists. of five fig
ures and dog. Halls himself and his
wife are in the center, with quaint
expression of amusement on both
faces. On the left is boy, stick In
his right hand, his left thrust into his
pocket. On the right stands girl
dressed in the stiff repetition of her
mothers costume, suitable to the
daughters of Dutch families in that
period Between the mother and daugh-
ter, somewhat in the rear, stands a
black page dressed in a brown SUR
with white collar. The shaggy coat
ed dog at the girls side is brown, and
the grave color scheme contains no
more positive note Of color than the
greenish blue of the painters collar
turned down over his black velvet
coat.
The background is a thick clump of
trees on the left and on the right q
fat country with the town of Haarlem
in the distance. The whole spirit of
the scene is that of decorous gayety,
superfmposed upon a structure of al.
most austere dignity. Not only are the
single figures spirited and alive. but
their arrangement is brilliantly man
aged with splendid rhythm of tone
The group is generally conceded to
be much finer than the one now In the
National gallery at London and fully
equal to, if 1t does not surpass, any of
the famous groups at HARLEM. The
workmanship is free and vivid. and the
period is assumed to be about 1910,
when the painter was between fifty
and sixty years of age and in the prime
of his power He married his second
wife, Lysbeth Renters. in 1917, and 1t
is her intelligent face that is depicted
with that subtle mingling of serious
ness and humor in the expression
which Halls knew so well how to in
terpret with his slashing and exact
stroke.
The dimensions of the picture are six
feet seven inches by nine feet four
inches, considerably larger than the
