In the Titanic struggle over Cannonism
in the House last week, Representative
Foster stood by the speaker throughout.
Foster has worked for a mobilization of
the rules through party action, and took
a leading part some months ago in bring
ing about slight change in that direc-
tion. He has always acted with the reg
ulars, and his nearest approach to insur-
rection was when he gave his opinion
that Cannon should not be reelected to
the speakership. II is limited that Fos-
ter's desire to secure the important post
OF chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, for which he was in line, when
it was recently vacated. tended to keep
him sdbservient to the speaker. Repre-
sentative Plumley, who has evinced near
iusurgent sentiments, but always voted
regularly, supported Cannon up to the
point Of the actual vote on the Norris
resolution-the real test -tben went with
the insurgents. With most OF the latter,
he voted against deposing Cannon from
the speakership.

cANNoNlsM's WATERLOO.

The House of Representatives at Wash
ington has witnessed the past week a
struggle that will go on record with the
great ones OF the past. 1t was the cuI-
mination of the long rebellion against the
rule Of Speaker Cannon in that body, and
resulted in his virtual overthrow. His
power is largely shorn, though he retains
his office.
The issue OF Cannonism has been up
permost for several years in the federal
House, and has been a national question
that would have gone to the country for
settlement had not the House settled it
itself. Under the system OF rules and
presidents that had grown up in the
House, the speaker possessed almost I'M
limited power over legislation. Not only
could he exercise strong influence
through the appointing OF standing COM
mlttees, but by virtue OF self-appointed
committee on rules he could forward, de-
lay or stifie measures according to his lik
ing. He could reward his friends and
punish his enemies like an Eastern
despot. He could make or unmake
member OF Congress. With all these
prerogatiTes it needed only a man with a
disposition to exercise them to be the
most arbitrary of rulers.
Such man Joseph @. Cannon of
Illinois has proved himself. He has done
all the things be could do with his tre-
mendcus power to promote the policies
be favored, to defeat those he opposed,
and to elevate and destroy men who eth
er stood with bin or against bin. In his
hands the speakership has been an instru-
ment of tyranny directed against all per-
some aud things that opposed the sway of
dictionary, bourbonic. By nature friend
Of the so-cslled "iaterests," he has stood
in the pathway of progress time and
again, yielding only when compelled to,
fighting to the last. Withal, Cannon is
such an able man, and possesses so much
hat is likeable in his makeup that his
personal following has been large, earnest
and sincere.
But there came a time when members
began to resent the high-handed methods
Cannon employed. They felt that Is rep
OF the people their rights
we're curtailed BY his rules aud bis ruiz
ings, aud that the speakers power ought, +
In the interest OF good government, to be

grew, especially among the liberal Repub-
leans Of the Middle West. These we're

the case OF his election. Concerning the
questions asked by this paper Of Messrs.
Mead and Fleetwood regarding their atti-
tude toward the disposition OF meat from
cattle condemned for tuberculosis, tques-
tions which as yet Mr.. Fleetwood has not
given attention. DR.. Mead says, in the
interview:
81 read the proposition as put by the
paper named and must confess that it in
wolves a question OF much importance to
Us all. As to the scientific side and he
questions growing purely out of science.
my knowledge and experience is not of
such character that [ feel like entering
upon a discussion OF the matter from tibet
standpoint. When scientists OF such
high rank as Professor Koch OF Berlin
and Professor Won Behring, also German,
disagree, the question naturally is one
rather too intricate for laymen to discuss.
II human tuberculosis may be developed
from bovine tuberculosis, and am in
cline1 to think the balance of opinion
fayors that view, then we should leave no
duty unperformed that may restrict the
havoc OF the great white plague. As
understand the attitude of the United
States government, it Is that an animal
may be afflicted in some degree with tu-
bereulosis without the carcass OF such an
imal being unfit for food. Again, per-
sonally I will say that | am not in the
market to buy beef of that character for
my own consumption, and / do most en-
pbatically favor meat Of that character be-
ing marked in such a way that the con-
sumner shall know what he is buying and
what he is eating. ! have no doubt that
further Investigation, and | hope II may
come soon, will show us the exact situa-
tion on these doubtful questions from the
scientific standpoint. The Randolph
newspaper in keeping this matter before
the state, will aid in a very important
way in bringing about a better under
standing Of what is not now altogether
clear, and, although the Randolph paper
is a strong opponent of my candidacy at
this time, am glad to acknowledge and
even testify that / believe it is doing a
good work in bringing the matter to pub
lie notice"
Thanks, Doctor. You are clearly on
record in favor OF labelling meat from

danger and unwisdom OF the states

The Doctor goes on to a discussion OF
the new German method of preventing
bovine tuberculosis by vaccination, which
has been tried with reported success in
that country for the past six years. In
Vermont It is being tested in one herd at
st. Adams town, and in Or. Webb's herd
at Shelburne Farms. Calves are vaecinat-
ed when three months old with prepar-
alton understood to be a culture derived
from human tuberculosis. II is claimed
that in this way the animals are rendered
immune to bovine tuberculosis. Some
states are now furnishing the virus free
10 the farmers from the state laboratory.
DIR. Mead appears to think there is good
deal OF merit in the method, and that
Vermont should give it attention.

a time fancied himself secure. Even
when the storm threatened he showed
no sign OF yielding. He played bis fav-
orites and paid his enemies with no
thought OF compromise. At length, how
ever, the storm broke. The insurgent
Republicans, uniting with the Demo-
Gratis, faced the regular Republicans and
won. The issue was a change in the
rules whereby the committee on rules
should be elective by the House, with the
speaker ineligible, instead OF being the
creature OF The speaker himself After an
acrimonious struggle in " hich the speaker
led filibuster, hoping to delay the test
until added strength should come, the
final vote showed a decisive triumph for
the allies. The speaker had been de-
prived OF his greatest power, and the
House was again self-Roverning body.
Cannon then threw down the gauntlet
and offered to abdicate, but nearly all the
insurgents Joined the regulars in retain
ing him. Against Cannon personally
there is not vet strong enough feeling to
add to his present humiliation by taking
an unprecedented step. But even this
may follow. Cannon has always said
I hat he held his power only at the will of

Nermonters who appreciate the value nf
automobile tourist traffic as a source OF
revenue will note with apprehension the
enthusiastic support that is being given
the trunk-line boulevard project formu-
lated by the last New Hampshire legisla-
ture. Returns from town meetings indi-
cate an almost unanimous determination
upon the part of the towns through
which these boulevards will pass to do
their full share toward making possible
their completion at the earliest possible
moment. Indeed, it is believed by the
state engineer that the practical compile
ton OF the boulevards this summer is as.
sured. The towns through which the
west side boulevard will extend have re-
sponded most generously. The twelve
towns through which this trunk-line will
pass between the Massachusetts, line and
Hanover have appropriated in round
numbers al, 200, which is more than
twice the sum ever before appropriated
for road building purposes. With this
amount and the allotment from the state
it is more than likely that three-quarters
OF this boulevard between the points
named can he completed this season. The
following list gives an excellent idea of
the way in which the west-side towns
have supported the project: Winchester.
$4,000; Lebanon, 1920; Lancaster,
S24OOi Newport, $4,000; Lempster, $1,000;
Goshen, $1,000; Grsntham, $1,000; Hins-
dale, $4,000; Swanzey. $4,000; GiIsum.
$1,000; NARROW, $1,000; Enfield, s11i1.
The town OF Hanover has appropriated
such sum as may be necessary to complete
the eight and a half miles Of trunk line
through it.
No one can read Of this proposed thor.
oughfare from the Massachusetts, line 10
the White mountain region without real
izing " hat it is likely to do in the way Of
diverting automobile traffic from this
state. The hundreds Of auto tourists that
now follow the west side Of the Connect
cut every summer will, upon the compile
tion Of this trunk line, map out their
routes 90 as to strike il At Hinsdale and
continue north through New Hampshire.

Barren of wit, wisdom or rhetoric,
without a glimmerinR of ordinary reason
aud exulting in famine OF ideas, the
Free Press is always forced to descend to
vituperation as argument and aspersion
based on sinister innuendo.
The babbling writer OF bilge-wa alter
asks il the News comprehends bis writ
ings. Frankly, we say that ordinarily
we do not, and we have found no reader
from college professors down to navy W no
could. The fog OF obscurity which dark
ems all the stultiloquence of that sheet is
inscrutable to intelligent people.
In the meantime we charge the Free
Press with being a talsifier, a slanderer,
a deiamer ui nis paper and its owner, a
libeller without one single shadow OF a
reason urnn which to base such charge.
In community further south such
charges would lead promptly to per-
sonal challenge. We do things different
ly here, however, and let The public or the
courts Judge between the deiamer aud the
detained. II we cannot, by reason OF his
care 10 avoid actionable language, get him
into court We will be satisfied to stand in
the court Of public opinion.
The paper that has profited from poll
tics more than all the newspapers OF the
state need not call upon the honest press
Of the state to answer any questions. The
and shufiler OF journalism
makes itself only the jest and butt OF the
profession when it attempts TO assume the
Of the journalism OF Vermont.
No one could take it seriously in that at
-itude, because It has no moral standard
10 follow, and never follows any consist
INT attitude on any subject whatever.
We now call upon the Free Press to
ZONE out OF its dark sewer aud make It's
,harge open and in the light without in
luendo or equivocation.
