The Victory Over Cannon

The gray and grizzled veteran VIC
tor of hundreds OF parliamentary
struggles is defeated. President Taft
refused to exert any influence in his
behalf and the democrats, who were
his allies in the fights less than
wear ago did not come TO his aid.
Public opinion, through an unfetter-
ed and fearless press all over the
nation. has forced one of the great
law-making bodies Of the world to
change front, and that, too, with
out an election.
The credit for this victory must
be given to that small crowd of mill
tant republicans, known as the in
surgents, one Of the leaders OF whom
was our own congressman, Miles
PoindeXter. Representative Norris,
of Nebraska, is reported to have had
the resolution he offered Thursday
in his desk for three months, await
ing an opportunity to present it. Not
until he saw that the insurgents
and democrats We're powerful enough
to overrule the speakers rulings did
he dare to present it, but when Can
mons support waned he could pre-
vent the inevitable conflict no long
er.
The passing of Cannonism has it's
pathetic side, however. Thirty-fve
years in congress and seven years
as speaker have made him undoubt-
edly the greatest parliamentarian in
the nation, if not in the world. At
the age of 76, his magnificent fight
to retain his power has compelled
the admiration even of his bitterest
opponents, which was evidenced by
the hearty applause which greeated
Champ Clark's remarks of his high
personal regard for Mr.. Cannon.
But Cannon belonged to an earli-
er period of politics. He is a South
Carolinian by birth, and a politi-
clan Of the old school both by edu-
cation and environment. The rules
which he perfected 50 as to give him
such absolute control Of the house
were formulated by Thomas 3. Reed
and adopted while Reed was speak
er. One-man power and dictatorship
Of the kind exercised by Cannon can
not exist in this age Of political pri-
maries, and such safeguards as the
initiative, referendum and recall
Who will take his place, and what
nobody can foretell with any GER
tainty, but Cannon is down and Can
nonism is dead--Spokane Spokesman

Single Tax in Vancouver,

The cities of the Canadian west
are in the lead in promoting the
single tax policy. Vancouver is the
latest to be heard from. 1t was long
ago the taxation policy of this pro-
gressive city to value land at full
capital value and improvements at
only SO per cent, thereby taxing
buildings only half as much ad val
orem as sites. So satisfactory did this
experiment prove that in due time
a further step was made in the same
directions; the valuation of improve
ments being reduced to 25 per cent,
so as to tax the capital value of i'm
provements only one-quarter as much
as that of sites. And now NancOu-
YER abolshes the taxation of i'm
provements altogether. On the I'd
of March, to use the language of the
Vancouver World of the Sd "the
Council decided to adopt the single
tax system in it's entirety

The People Betrayed.

The controlling organization or
the republican party is worse than
discredited before the country. 1t
stands condemned, by public sentl-
ment and overwhelming public ex-
preston, for betraying the people on
the tariff.
That betrayal was constituencies,
brutal and defiant. The people may
ing is not entirely due to the tar
if, but they are keenly sensitive to
the enormities of the tariff burden.
That sensitiveness forced the nomi-
nation of President Taft and his
promises and those of the republic
can platform that the tariff would
be revised downward.
No party, no president, ever had
a. finer opportunity to merit and en-
list enlightened popularity than had
the republican party and President
Taft one year ago. That opportunity
was disregarded The country was
betrayed and has utterly repudiated
those leaders who are responsible for
the betrayal.
But the amazing spectacle is that,
with the best possible means for
knowing public feeling, with evil
dences Of party decentralization on
every hand, and with a congressional
election coming on, not one thing
has been done, and not one intelligent
thing has been proposed by those
controlling leaders in congress to
repair the damage or lessen its polit-
ical effects-Editoria in Kansas

don, ). W. On solid sheet of glass,
It inches thick, measuring - feet
in length and 6 feet broad, a faithful
reproduction of the map of the Domiu-
| ion OF Canada has been executed. The
names OF places in great numbers, the
rivers, the lakes, and the mountains are
clearly shown, while the distinctive col.
ors for the various Provinces COMPRISING
the Dominion and adjacent territories
OF the United States have been burned
in to ensure fxity. Stretching across
the continent from the Atlantic to the
Pacific may be easily followed the
route OF Canada's ALFRED route, the

millions OF square miles of new grain
producing territory are being opened up
to the settler. The work not only af
fords graphic idea of the vastness of
the great Dominion, but also gives an
Impressive idea of this 5000 miles of
new road. The preparation of the man
was a delicate task, since it is the larg.
est piece OF ceramic work that has ever

continuously for five months, and it is
one OF the most costly reproductions of

was to obtain result which would be
quite legible in daylight, and which
would yet be sufficiently transparent to
allow of illumination by means of
twenty-four 25-candle power lamps by
