The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1910-05-27

INTO law IN single day-N take<
many days of long debates to reach
the best results and to arrive at the
compromises that win be acceptable
to the majority.
In view. then. Of the record that has
already been made, and OF the legisla
ton sure to be enacted. and In view
of the splendid administration that
President Taft is giving to the coun
try, II seems impossible that the peo
pie will fail to return a Republican
house OF representatives. and by SO
doing give hearty Endorsement to
Mr.. Taft and his efforts. He should
have a Republican house Of repre-
sentatives during the last two years
Of his term to enable him and his
party to carry out to the full as much
as possible of the legislation needed
to bring about the best results to our
civil and social and Industrial life.
Speaker Cannon Honored.
On the 7th of this month Speaker
Cannon attained his seventy-fourth
birthday. From morning till night he
was the recipient Of congratulations
and gifts. but perhaps the pleasantest
incident was a brief address by
Champ Clark. the Democratic leader.
to whom the speaker responded as
follows:
The gentleman from Missouri and
members OF the house of representa-
tives: | thank the gentleman from
Missouri for the kindly reference to
the seventy-fourth anniversary Of the
birth Of the present speaker Of the
house OF representatives. II is a great
body. 392 in number. representing In
round numbers 90. 1000. 900 people. with
a great area from the forty-ninth de-
gree Of north latitude down to the
southern boundary and from the At
lantic to the Pacific. stretching across
the continent almost $500 miles. with
great natural resources, the greatest
wealth. from the standpoint Of ma
ture. given by the Almighty to any
similar area on the face OF the earth
and we are especially blessed with
population that has been growing
from one decade to another since the
landing RI our forebears in Virginia
and on the Massachusetts coast We

Caucasian race by the best that the

sweat of their faces they have de-
veloped, as we hope, as we believe.
In the grand average the most virile.
patriotic. and capable population on
earth. Ours Is a representative gov
eminent, and as we gather from the
various portions Of the republic, rep
resenting populations with different
climates and with different resources,
our constituents have different direct
personal interests. and we voice our
constituents.
Striving for Best Results.
'In consideration OF legislation that
will bring the greatest good to the
greatest number, we necessarily have
different views. Therefore, being vir.
lie, to the best OF our ability we seek
to write the views OF the constituents
we represent upon the statute books
for the common good. In the clash
OF interests we make compromises,
and all legislation OF a general ma.
ture is the result OF compromise.
While sometimes there is hot blood
and virile partisanship. after all,
want to say for the majority side OF
the house, that we are all Americans,
under our oaths representing. accord.

And while there are hot words at
