Uncle Joe's long legs have a pen
chant for kicking the bucket. 1t was
all planned by the regular repub-
licans that they would meet the hos
tility toward Cannon by assuring the
voters that Cannonism is no longer
IN issue, that Cannon is serving his
last term. Now Uncle Joe goes down
into Kansas and in a fiery speech de-
clares that nobody can keep him from
seeking another term as speaker and
making it very clear that he will take
a reelection If he can get it. What
the regular" republicans thought
about this performance by Uncle Joe
they must have said under their
breath. To have uttered it aloud
might have subjected them to prose-
cution. Cannon at bay shows his
weakness. With a majority behind
him, it was easy to sit in the role of
genius. Now that he has lost that
majority he shows how little he had
to do with its creation.

Farmers of New Jersey, it is said,
are feeding their milk to hogs rath-
er than sell it for less than three
cents a quart, the price paid for milk
by the New York milk trust''. Yet
milk retails in New York for nine
cents a quart. The principal milk
distributing firm in New York paid
a % per cent divident for the last
fiscal year. The New York World, in
commenting on these facts, declares
that the farmer, the dairyman, the
gardener, does not get his share of
the price of foodstuffs. The big prof
its go to those who simply distribute
them. The means of distribution Of
ten form a natural monopoly. If it
cannot be controlled and regulated
in the name of justice, then an ir-
resistible demand will grow up for
its ownership by government.

trust officials who cheated the gov
eminent out of millions in duties,
like the life insurance officials who
overpaid themselves from the money
of policy holders, like Aldrich who
put through legislation to give him
self and his son a monopoly of the
rubber business, Rawn became a
near-thief. We say a near-thief when
he was in fact a thief, because he
did not seem to realize that stealing
indirectly is as much theft as steal
ing directly. No doubt in the last
days of his life he would have given
more than he realized from his moral
obliquity, to be able to reinstate him
self in his w respect. There is this
much of hope in this day of easy

ill-gotten gains rest uneasily in the

MEN AND FRUIT GROWING

In his account of the attempt to
make the people of Colorado under
stand prior to the election of a leg
islature that they were being duped
by the great corporations through
the expedient of placing a minister
on the ticket for governor in order
to win the church vote, Judge Lind
sey pays a just tribute to the spirit
of independence that characterized
the voters in the apple districts of
Colorado. He says that in the fruit
districts he found no evidences of
that cowardly and servile disposition
which characterized so many COM
munities which he visited. There
men were ready to listen to argu-
ment, were not afraid of bringing
upon themselves the maledictions
of the political bosses, and insisted
on acting and voting as their own
judgment dictated.
The description which the Judge
gave of the characteristics of the
men who live in the Colorado fruit
districts would be a good character
ization of the men who make up any
fruit district in the state of Washing
ton. There is something in the en-
vironment of fruit growing commun-
tiles which tends to foster an indie
pendent and self-reliant spirit. In
no occupation are men placed under
the necessity of using good judg-
ment, of cultivating and developing
their powers of observation and of
initiation as in growing fruit sue
cessfully in irrigated districts, and
this naturally tends to develop in
them an independence, and tolerance
and -mindedness that manifests
itself in their thought and action.
A political boss in a fruit growing
district is like a bull in a china shop.
He is entirely out of place. The
green pastures for him are in the
industrial centers where women toll
in sweat shops and childhood is
blighted and prostituted from over
work in great factories.

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS
Moving Forward.

There is good reason for believing
that Leavenworth and the country
surrounding it will develop more rap
idly than in any year in its past.
A number of land sales have been
made in the past few weeks, more
than have been reported in the Echo,
and every sale means a new settler,
new home and more land going
into cultivation. AS one purchaser
remarked, land that costs two or
three hundred dollars is too valuable
to lie idle. 1t must go into cultlva-
ton and be made productive.
To sum the matter up, the pres
ent outlook for 1910 is very encour-
aging. All indications point to a
prosperous year.-Leavenworth Echo.
