JUNGLE JOE" AGAIN A GEAR"
'eIIncle. Joe" Cannon may be par

doned If he feels 1mpelled to emit
few chuckles just now. It will be
remembered that last year there was
a disturbance in the house that has
since been referred to as q "revolu-
ton" The discovery was made that
the speaker was a GEAR" who held
the destinies of the nation in the hollow
of his hand. The lower house OF con-
gress was not made up Of 391 mem
bers, but of one king" who ruled ms
subjects with an iron hand At the
time when the house set about to de-
throne the car, Mr.. Cannon rose to
state that the speaker was working
under the rules formulated by the
house. and that the house had the
authority at any time to change these
rules: The house changed them by
roping and branding the speaker. only
stopping short Of taking his scalp.
Some OF the regular" republicans
yentured the assertion during that
strenuous period that certain strict
rules Of procedure were necessary for
the government of such an unwieldy
body, as the house of representatives.
They pointed out that unless some one
had the power to direct legislation IN
It's proper channel, the work of the
body would be greatly impeded. The
occasion to prove this came few days
ago when the omnibus claims bill was
taken up. Mr.. Mann Of Illinois, an
astute old guard general, started
filibuster, Just to show what could be
done in the absence Of rules, and sue
ceeded in keeping the house In session
all day Saturday, all Saturday night
and until S o'clock Sunday afternoon
Then 1t was found necessary TO bring
in q special rule to expedite the work
The rule brought in was the same
kind Of a rule that the insurgents and
democrats last year termed gas"
rule. But the house adopted 1t and
by going back to the old rule in force
when the speaker was a "czar," sue
ceeded in getting vote on the claims
bill, and placing things in shape to
pass on other important pending
legislation before adjournment.
'Uncle joe" being possessed of
sense of humor, may be pardoned if
he INDUCES in a good hearty laugh.

Connaught to Succeed Grey.
Kings Uncle Becomes
Governor General Of
Canada in Sept.

London, Jan. %. 1T is Officially
announced that the Duke of
Connaught will succeed Earl
Grey in September as Governor
General of Canada. He will hold
the appointment for two years,
and that period may be extended.
Various reports have peen cur
rent from time to time, partic p
ularly from Canadian sources,
that the Duke of Connaught
would not be the next Governor
General of Canada, although on
the original announcement of his
appointment. shortly after the
death Of King Edward, it was
officially stated that it had been
the wish of the King that the
Duke Of Connaught, his brother,
should go to Canada as Governor
General.
A late dispatch from London
reported that the Duke would be
appointed regent during the abb
sence of King George in India
for the coronation durbar. Such
an appointment, it is believed,
would serve to delay the Dukes
Earl Grey.

ATTACKS SUPREME COURT.
Senator owen Defends Recall and Ex
presses Faith in People.

Washington, Aug. i.-Severe criti-
cism OF - supreme court of the Unit
ed States marked the speech of Sen.
ed before the senate the adoption of
his bill providing for the election and
recall of federal judges. This bill pro-
vides that any Justice of the supreme
court of any judge of any other United
States court shall be subject to recall
by resolution of congress; that all
district and circuit judges of the Unit
ed States shall be elected by the vot-
ers of the district or circuit and that
their tenure of office be four years.
Answering the contention of oppon-
ents of the recall of judges that the
electorate would not be so conserva-
tive in the exercise of power of recall
as would the national legislature or
the state legislatures, Senator owen
said that the electorate of the Amer
lean states Is abundantly conservative
and moves more slowly than It's pro-
gressive representatives would move.
The people, he maintained, have been
trained to give the benefit Of the doubt
to any one assailed, and when in
doubt they will always vote no.
Never during the ten years that the
right of recall has existed in Oregon,
said the speaker, have the people
availed themselves of It against
judge, although there is one case
ending there now, which, undoubtedly,
will be decided wisely by the people"
The reactionary Tory argument that
the people are turbulent, wild and
visionary, unduly passionate, compris-
ing an irresponsible mob, not fit for
power, was held by the speaker to
come with poor grace from those who
held their honors, dignities and sala-
ries from these same people.
Stress was laid upon the popular
sentiment that senators should be
chosen by direct vote Of the people.
| The senator held that IL the people
have intelligence enough to elect SEN
ators and members of the house they
would not be lacking in that quality If
it should come to the election or recall
! of a Judge.

Norfolk is, Madison 6,

Norfolk IS; Madison 6.
Fox of Madison kept the local team
down to a tie score of and until
the fifth inning when he used poor
judgment and the locals hammered
him for four hits and a home run,
bringing in seven scores. The dose
was repeated by the locals with a
home run, two two-baggers and three
singles in the eighth with six scores.
Fox had a good arm and pitched well,
but bad judgment on his part made
the score loom up large. His support
was first class.
The home runs by Wagner and
Krahn were features.
Heavy wind blowing clouds of dust
over the diamond and the frequent de-
lays because of long waits between
the heats of races which were being
run on the driving park track caused
the big score. Fourteen hits were
taken from Fox and Denton allowed
Madison to get eleven safe ones
Both sides were handy with the bat
With favorable weather conditions, a
good game is looked for from Madi
son.
Stanton was scheduled for Thurs
day.

Norfolk Apples Find a Market.

Norfolk orchards are already supply
ing fruit for the demand of the trade
locally and trade in Norfolk's terri
tory. The Evans Fruit company are
finding that there is a great demand
for Norfolk grown apples and during
the past two days about two loads of
this fruit have been shipped in small
lots to merchants throughout this ter
ritory. Along the Bonesteel line and
in the Rosebud country the demand is
equally as good for Norfolk grown ap.
pies and the wholesale fruit company
report that most of their shipments
have been made to this country.
Gardener Joseph Wiles of the state
hospital has been busy during the past
few days picking and packing apples
at that institution. These apples have
been purchased by the Evans com.
pany, who find much convenience in
the purchase of home grown fruit
The demand has been so great recent.

ATTACKS COTTON TARIFF.
Mississippi Congressman Character
ICES Bill as Robbery.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Rep. Wlther-
spoon of Mississippi, speaking on the
cotton tariff revision BILL character
ized as legal robbery" a tariff which
raises more revenues than are neces-
sary to defray the public expenses.
The tariff, he declared, greatly in
creases the cost of production.
The only sensible, logical deduc-
ton from this" he continued, "is that
all the taxes on what the mills buy
and on what it's laborers consume
should be abolished, if the purpose is
to benefit and foster the cotton mills.
If we could not only reduce one-half of
the cost of cotton cloth production
but in some way gather up all the
wealth and redistribute it among the
people who produced it, every cotton
mill in America would be able to run
on full time, to pay it's laborers living
wages, and to sell its product at such
prices as would produce fair profits"
Mr.. Witherspoon declared the the
ory of protection was to increase the
cost of production by levying enor-
nous taxes on that cotton mills bought
and on all that it's operatives con-
sumed.
"Then," he charges, "as compen-
sation to the overburdened mill, 1t
proposes to rob the American laborer,
professional men and other classes of
the consuming public to the extent Of
making the cotton mills profits as
, large or larger"
