CANNoN~I Is FIRED.

The question Congressman
Longworth has answered is not
the question whether Joseph &.
Cannon shall be speaker of the
next house. Mr.. Cannon was not
to be speaker again, no matter
what Longworth or the presi-
dent did. What the administra-
ton had to decide vas whether
the next speaker should be a
republican other than Mr.. Can
non, or else a democrat.
That is, to have let 1t be IN
derstood that Mr.. Cannon would
have the republican support for
speaker would have been equiya-
lent 10 having no republican
sp%eakership to fill, The country
is done with Uncle Joe, and will
not elect IA congress that promises
to keep him in the speakership.
The republican party could not
win with Cannon on its back.
Cannon shows himself incapable
of quitting his party for his par
tvs good, so a surgical operat-
ion becomes necessary. Before
the campaign is over more than
IA majority Of the republican can
didates for the house will have
taken Longworth S hint and
thrown off the Cannon handicaD.
Danyille is out Of it.
1t is distressing to See the old
man 90 down fighting in blind
fury. To have a long public ca
reer end in defeat and discredit
as 50 many have in the past half
dozen years is always unpleasant,
but that is the common fate of
the nan who stops learning half
of a lifetime before he stops
working, or whose eminence was
built on a false foundation. And
Speaker Cannon now joins the
caravan of Forakers, DepeWs
and Aldriches who are dead
yet living. politically buried
though physically alive.
Mr.. Cannon would have done
better to follow the course of Al
drich, and retire in advance Of
the foreseen kick. The fight
that SEEM so brave and stirring
when there is a chance to win be-
comes ludicrous when it is mere
ly IN obstinate butting Of the
head against stone walls.-State

THE CAMPAIGN.

The lines are truly falling in most happy places for the pro
gresslves. Everywhere the people are arising and asserting
their might and shaking themselves free from the CRATER and the
boss. Nebraska is falling into line rapidly. A clear cut issue is
before the people this fall, No one but a fool can possibly err in
taking sides. 1t is a challenge to men to assert their manhood
and stand as men for the things that make for home, peace and
intelligent prosperity. The Tribune will throw its whole strength
into the contest. We have right on our side. For the right we
can afford to fight. The issue must be presented to the intelli-
gence of every voter in Richardson county. Not as a party adj
vertsement but as a matter of right and wrong. Mems conSci-
ences must be appealed to. No father, can honestly vote against
the pleading eyes and pure hearts of his babies, Our people are
human. They are also prejudieed. The truth will make them
free and as free men they will break the yoke Of the oppressor
and proclaim themselves to be men by voting for men.

notice, and just ponder, the fol
lowing facts.
1t was in the United States as
a whole that the census man
found 275 out of every 1000
women in the twenty-five to
twenty-nine age period unmarried
But the United Stats consists Of
development and undeyelopment.
Look at the cities:
In Ghicogo, out of every 1000
women in the age period from
twenty-five to twenty-nine, there
were BIZ who were unmarried. In
Denver there were 331. In Man
haitian and the Bronx there were
356. IN Minneapolis there were
1863. In Philadelphia there were
3S7.
Southern New England, how
ever, is the most industrially de
yeloped part of the United States,
the part in which social condi-
tlOnS like those OF the older c0un-
tries Of the world are most near
ly reached.
In Fall River, out Of every 1000
women in the twenty-five to
twenty-nine period, the unmarried
were 391. In New Haven they
were 1913. In Boston they were
454.
In view of such facts, how
can anybody object to the steps
which have been taken recently
toward giving the women in the
manufacturing trades, as well as
the women in the commercial
trades, some little preparation
for the work in which they are
likely to spend so many years.

and rapacity, whereby the PEG.
pie are despoiled.
The sovereign people arc
honest. and their combined judg-
ment on any or all public ques-
tons can be depended upon, and
the representative who listens to
this judgment and is governed by
it, is the true representative OF
all the people. But too often
the people have been deceived IL
the character Of the men called
to represent them. BY false
%pretenses, sophistry and other
means employed, men unworthy
the public confidence have found
their way to places of trust and
honor, and thus the high stand
ards Of trust ard honor Of true
representative government have
been loWrd until grafters, hood
lers, periurers and "jackpotters
have gained Il strong footing and
have in some instances made Il
farce Of popular government.
The call is loud and imperative
for honest and trustworthy men
to serve as representatives, III
every legislative district, every
congressional district, in every
state, and every good citizen will
heed the call.
The great ISSUE today is to
save the government, III It's leg
iSlatiye branch particularly, from
the demonstration and deStruct-
i've effects which follow ON the
trail Of graft, greed, demag-
oguery and dishonesty. This is a
sad commentary on American in
situations, and will seem surpris-
ingly strange to those who point
to ours as the model republic, but
the facts fully justify the state
ment, and thoughtful citizens ev-
eryWhere will recognize its truth
1t follows that If we get reliable,
true and honest representative
government, the good citizens of
the country must take the mat
ter in hand and make their power
felt at the polls. There should
be no dallying with smooth and
oily-tongued politicians, no gum
shoe or pussy-footed crusade
against those who have tried
and found wanting, but a straight
out, stand up, manly fight in the
open against the faithless and il
behalf of men of known integ-
rity and trustworthiness. The
crisis is here, and every good cit
izen should buckle on his armour

Governor Shallenberger has
asked for a recount of the prim-
airy ballots. Dahlman expresses
himself as heartily in sympathy
with the plan. 1t was a clever
move of Shallenberger, as the
logical head of Nebraska demo-
cracy to claim for himself the
full democratic vote and to attri-
butte 10000 Of Dahlman' votes
to wet republicans. Naturally.
the democrats viii take very
kindly to this easy way Of salv-

eager to be identified with the
new democracy, now find them

A Pioneers S Experience.

a young preacher in a wild
mountain region, several years
ago, improved what he counted a
comfortable opportunity for the
delivery of a temperance sermon
which he preached in several of
the log school houses in his cir
political campaign, with cnadi-
cult.
1t was the midst of a heated
dates riding about with saddle
bags filled with TASKS of moon
shine whiskey, and many men
who we're ordinarily sober had
accepted the free hospitality of
the politicians. Against this
practice the young preacher S
words were unsbpring, and he
angered both the candidates and
the men who had partaken of
their liquor.
AS he mounted has horse at the
close Of the service, be saw about
him angry faces, some Of them
still bloated with the liquor he
had been denouncing. for one OF
two candidates had sliced upon
the meeting as a good time to be
present and to see a number of
men together.
A few days afterward he re-
ceived a message in the round
about manner of the region "a
message emanating from no one
and delivered by no one-inform-
ing him that if he ever preached
again at Birthstone Creek he
would be tied to a tree and whip
ped.
Once a month, on the third
Sabbath, was the time Of his
Birthstone appointment, and
there was a time for some quiet
inquiry, which confirmed the
young preachers suspicion as
to the leader of the gang that in
tended to whip him.
Somewhat earlier than usual ON
the third Sabbath Of the next
month he rode up Birthstone and
The Falls City tribune., 1910-08-26

made a detour to take him past
the house Of his leading enemy.
Hello he shouted at the
fence.
The master of the house came
to the door, called off the dogs
and made a surely response.
Are you going to meeting to-
day asked the preacher.
Don't knew. Like as not [
will and like as not | won't"
well, | rode round this way
to say that | will stop and take
dinner with you today. | hope
you will come. I'll ride back
with you
Il don't hardly reckon |" get
thar said the mo~untaineer.
"One of the chaps was sick all
night, and he mighty triflin'
this mornin.
Let me see him." said the min
lister, who carried with him a
few simple remedies.
After an explanation of the
sick child, he said to the mother,
Here, give him this once an hour
and think he will be better by
the time we get back to dinner
The anxious mother was in
stantly grateful, and even the
father was notified a little.
IF you'll wait till | get my
saddle on, III ride to meetin'
with YOU" said he.
The sermon that day gave bet
ter satisfaction. There was a
certain prejudice to overcome,
but partly it was overcome al
ready in admiration Of the young
man courage, and in astonish-
ment that he rode in under pro-
lection of his recent enemy.
OF course there was no at
tempt at whipping, and at the
close of the service many greeted
theI young man with sheepish
~cordiality.
When they returned to the
house the little boy had improved
and the preacher sat down to a
good dinner of hot biscuit and
fried chicken, the food of preach
ers in that region, and at the
close of the meal he rode off in
safety.
There was a meeting in the
school house a few days after
wards and a letter was written,
not without great labor, and sent
to the young preacher. Not very
long ago, in an Overhauling of
old papers, that letter came to
light:
1--WE want you to keep on
preaching on birthstone, and as
peter sed to Christ though all for
sake you yet will not wee. but
we think it would be well to
preach the gospel insted of tenn
prance and for the presint give
us something nor cimple."
The spelling was not quite be-
yond reproach, but the Birthstone
appointment continued.-Ex.

$780, 900 Unmarried Women.

When the census man was at
work IN 1900 he went about and
counted 2,260.0 GOO American wo-
men who were more than twenty
five years old and who were still
unmarried.
1t is getting worse cor better
with every passing decade, and
out of it is emerging a new ideal
of education which seems certain
to penetrate the whole education-
al system of the United States,
all the way from the elementary
school to the universities.
The census man groups us into
age periods. The period from
twenty-five to twenty-nine is the
most important matrimoniallv
because it is the one in which
most Of us get pretty we'll fixed
into our life work. Out of ev-
cry 1000 women in that period,
in the year 1890, the census man
found 254 who were still un-
married, In 1900, only ten
years later, he found 275.
Poor Jack. Poor Jill! They
get lectured at all the time about
the postponement of marriage,
and they can no more control it
than they can control the size of
the city of New York. Theoreti-
cally, everybody on Manhattan
Island could get up and go away
and leave the island vacant. Ac-
tually, it can't and won't be
done. theoretically, we should
all of us get married young. We
fall in love young enough. But,
actually, we can't get married
young, and don't. : The reasons
are given later. Meanwhile, ujust

THE COUNTRY'S A L

The country Is calling loudly
today for honest, law respecting
and patriotic citizens to get to
the front and take charge of af-
fairs. In the political field es-
pecially is there demand for such
men. Graft, bribery, corruption
and demagoguery have gained a
footing in our politics which can
be dislodged only by the com
blned efforts Of good and trust
worthy citizens in all parts OF
tn" country.
In Nebraska, as in every other
state, the call is for men who
hold manhood and honor above
pelf and dishonor, to fill the
places Of trust and honor at the
disposal of the electorate, and
to this end no effort should be
spared to warn the electorate oil
the dangers that confront them.
Graft in the industrial and com
mercial fields is bad enough, I'M
settling confidence, which is the
basis Of all legitimate business.
but when graft invades our poll
ties and seeks with its Shiny hand
TO defile our lawmakers. it strikes
at the foundation Of the govern
ment and imperilS the entire GOV
ernment fabric. Political graft.
boodlerism, bribery and corrup-
ton have shown their hydra
heads in unseemly places. even in
the highest Legislative tribunal III
the land, and the time has come
for prompt and decisive action
casting out the grafters, boodlers
and corruptioniStS and placing in
their stead men worthy OF trust
and confidence.
The representative government
does not mean government by
and for spoilsmen or govern
Fment by and for g~rafters, hood
lers and %perjuregs. 1t means
government by and for all the
people and is supposed to reflect
the wishes, sentiments, hopes
and needs Of all the people.

Senator Aldrich of David
City, the republican nominee,
stands serenely above and away
from the storm that is agitating
the opposite camp. His lead on
Cady was so large and so sub
stantially classified as to fix him
firmly in the public mind as the
logical representative of the
sober thinking people of Nebras-
ka. Before the curtain drops on

On the face of the official re-
turns of the primary election,
Jim Dahlman is nominated as the
democratic candidate for COVER

majority of about 70 votes. Bar
ring the possibility that in II re-
count that lead will be wiped out,
that makes the issue in Nebras-
ka this fall a plain one of wet or

wide open state, the so called
rights Of the saloon, and the
rule of the bosses. 1t will be a
fight FOR decency, ~selfrespect and
popular control in the state. All

SPORTING COMMENT.
By J. Ed. Grille.

Walter Johnson is in fair way CT
beating all Strike-out records this sea-
son. To date Walter has struck out 1870
men, and il he takes his regular turn on
the rubber during the remainder of the
season he is sure to pass Waddells rec
ord of sol, made in 1903. The present
season is just past the half mark, and
Johnson has already struck out 100 bats
men, and his form is better now than
it was early in the season. so that, bar
ring accident, there is nothing to prevent
him from beating all recods
st. Louis has been fooled most by
Johnson, but all the clubs he has faced
have suffered materially by the strike
out route Last year Frank Smith Of
the Wllte Sox led the league pitchers
in the matter of strike-outs, with lit in
$50 innings pitched. Johnson has already
passed that mark, and that with the
season little more than half over.
The terrific speed of Johnson is re-
SpOnSble for his strike-Out record, for
it is seldom that he uses curve ball
during game. 1t is fact that batters
know that Johnson is going to pitch a
fast ball over the plate, and yet they
fail to hit it, because it comes with
such terrific force and has all sorts of
shoots on it.

the result of the series between the two

bid fair to repeat their remarkable record
of 1903, when they took fourteen games
from the Maps and thus beat Cleveland
out of the pennant
Last season they were not so success
full. but this year they are striking their
1908 stride when opposed to the Maps,
having won seven of the ten games play
ed up to date. On the first trip of the
Maps to the capital they dropped three out
of four. Link bagging the only victory.
even break was secured, only two games
being played. Now the second eastern
trip has resulted disastrously for Cleve-
four. Cy Young being the only pitcher to
triumph over the Nationals.
And the Nationals have no Tom Hughes
to pitch two or three games in every
series. either. Neither have they Falk-
enberg or Charley Smith to mystify the
difference, however. Put any old pitcher
in a Washington suit and he seems to be
able to beat the Maps The chances are
that Mig Cuppy, Gene Wright or Oscar
STREET could down the Maps If he wore a
National uniform Sure thing. Here is
Doc Reisling, who hasn't a thing except
strong constitution and a license to
practice dentistry in the state of Ohio.
He has downed the Maps twice, and came
within an ace of shutting them out Tues
day when Cy Young managed to grab his
five hundredth victory.
