Gods noblemen-an honest man. His
dealings with men as he met them in
business was always honest and honor

word in his family. The same can be
also said of his devoted wife, who sur
wives him. In his prosperity, many
years ago. he aften helped those who
were less fortunate than himself. No

Ilko, Japan, passed through Empori-
um Monday, enroute to San Antonio.
Texas, where he will observe the bat
ties just across the Rio Grand River.
Captain Hari Kari unfortunately miss
ed connections and was forced to wait
over one train and was invited to dine
with Mr. Nelson Cutler, the genial
proprietor of the Junction house. AS
Mr.. Cutler is civil war veteran. he
and the Japaffese captain were soon
engaged in an interesting conversation
regarding war tactics and their talk
proved very interesting to the guests
OF the house and the railroad men at
the junction. Mrs. Cutler, who has
the name of being the best cook in this
part ofthe state, did herself proud in
getting up dinner for the Captain,
who went into ecstacies over the good
Yankee spread that she placed before
him. He felt 80 grateful that he con-
cluded his visit with little song in his
own language and which was trans
lated in English by Henry Haupt and
is herewith submitted to our readers:

CANNON At PEACE
WITH INSURGENTS,
HOUSE IS PUZZLED
Uncle Joe Friendly With
Erstwhile Seekers of His
Political Scalp.

Joseph G. Cannon, plain every day
Representative In the House of Repre-
sentatives from the Eighteenth Illinois
f, district, Is the source of much specula'
tion on the part of folks who keep close
tabs on what is transpiring in the halls
of Congress.
Cannon has never been accused oi
lacking courage. When the RepubII'
can insurgents were waging warfare
against his administration as Speaker
lie exchanged blow for blow and re
taliated at every possible opportunity
The insurgents were his enemies, anc
he made no secret of his feelings to-
ward them.
! Two years ago when Cannon met ar
insurgent in the lobby he tossed his
head just little higher, put bit moro
gazing into space. All of that Is
changed now. Cannon is a private ir
the ranks. He has fooled the people
who expected him to carry his resent
ment toward the insurgents on to the
floor of the House.
1t gradually is dawning on close OBJ
servers that there has been a wonder.
full change in Cannon's feeling toward
his erstwhile enemies and, on the other
hand. in the feeling of the insurgents
against the man who once was the OBJ
ject of their assaults.
In Their Midst.
Cannon is seated in the midst of a
bunch of insurgents. He not only ex-
| changes the time of day with them
but he has actually gone out of his
way to be nice to them. Men whom
he passed with a scornful toss Of his
head year ago he now greets by their
given name. Insurgents who. year
ago, looked the other way when he ap
preached them, now call him Uncle
joe" and do not hesitate to go into
the Republican cloakroom with him and
mingle their cigar smoke
Thus far, no one has been able to
solve the puzzle involved in the init.
macy OF the old-time enemies
Members Of the House have long OBJ
| served that Uncle joe has apparent.
| ly wiped out old scores, but the obser.
vations in this direction we're to be had
! in the Republican cloakroom. 1t re.
| mained for Mr.. Cannon to give a pub
lie demonstration of the new conditions
| during the general debate on the re.
apportionment bill.
Representative Nelson of Wisconsin
| was making a speech. Mr.. Nelson has
| been known to walk out Of Republican
CauCuses because he refused to be bound
TO any proposition which involved sup
port of Cannon.
Cannon Aids Him.
Nelson ran out Of time during his
speech on reopportionment. and the Re-
publican member in charge of the time
| on the Republican side was temporarily
| absent from the chamber. To the am
| azement OF members Mr. Cannon arose
and asked the unanimous consent of
the House that Mr.. Nelson be permitted
to continue his speech. The consent was
granted and Mr.. Nelson continued,
thanks TO the man whom he had fought
for years.
The Washington times., 1911-04-29

At the last session of Congress, Ariz-
ona and New Mexico were kept out
of the Union because the constitution of
Arizona was too radical.
This session, they are threatened with
being excluded because the constitution
of New Mexico is too conservative.
That's all. 1t tells pretty much the
whole story of what has happened 10
Congress and to national sentiment.
Five months ago Arizona stood for
dangerous radicalism because it's con-
stitution was too easy of amendment.
Today New Mexico is in wrong be-
cause its constitution can't be amended
at all.
Lobbyists Active Here.
The lobbyists from the two South
western territories simply throng
Washington this spring. There are two
groups of them from each State, con-
servatives and radicals. The Arizona
conservatives like the New Mexico con-
stitution first rate; the Arizona radi-
Gals are just pleased to death with the
Arizona document. You can start a
row inside the delegation from either
State by pointing finger at II, and
it's still easier to start trouble between
the two States.
The House Committee on Territories
is analyzing the New Mexico constitu-
tion just now, and it is sized up Cor
about the most reactionary instrument
that ever professed to be written con-
stitution. Former Senator Blair OF
New Hampshire, who has been appear
ing before the committee in the interest
OF nobody in particular-sort OF amicus
Curiac-stated about the opinion of aver
age people the other day. when he told
the committee that the New Mexico
constitution was not a provision for a
republican form of government at all.
1t looked to the establishment and per-
petuation of an oligarchy. The COM
mittee feels the same way.
Made for Corporations.
This New Mexico constitution is a
wonder It was made in the interests OF
the Santa Fe railroad. the Phelps-Dodge
coal interests. and various other corpor-
ations, plus the officeholding hierarchy
Of the territory. The concern of the
corporations relates to keeping their
tive regulation.
Take the matter OF regulation. New
MeXico's constitution provides that all
powers of regulation snail be vested in
a corporation commission. This is done
in such manner that all these matters
lature's purview. The constitution would
have to be revised before the Legisla-
ture could turn wheel to increase or
reduce the powers of the commission.
The commission, therefore. has splen-
did authority. 1t can order a corpora
ton to do almost anything. No like
commission in the country has compare
BILE powers-theoreticafly.
Absolutely Harmless.
For this New Mexico commission has
no power worth the name to enforce any
order II may make! It is made the re-
pository of all power. to the Legisla-
ture's exclusion. and then is denied any
authority to enforce its commands. The
meanest thing II could do to corpora
ton would be to slap it gently on the
wrist and say. There. now. you dis
agreeable old thing" Experts say 1t is
the cleverest scheme of preventing any
possible regulation that was ever de-
ViSed.
dition shall persist, the constitution is
