Eyeing her with renewed interest, he
demanded:

MANN PROBABLE
MINORITY LEADER
lllinoisan Mentioned AS
Chief Trouble-Maker for
the Democrats.

Representative Jim" Mann of Illinois
Is the probable minority leader Of the
Republicans in the House in this Con-
gress.
While the matter is in no sense set
tied, ii is pretty generally believed Mr..
Mann will be selected. When asked to-
day If he would be chosen, he was as
non-committal as a high army officer
on the Mexican "maneuvers." 1t is
understood Mr.. Mann will not take the
place unless assured Speaker Cannon
will not seek it. Good reason exists for
the belief Mr.. Cannon has let IL be
known he will not run. II Mr. Mann
is chosen minority leader, he will. be
nominated for Speaker by the Repub-
licans.
The selection OF Mr.. Mann could be
made without giving offense to most of
other hand, never consent to the selec-
ton of Cannon.
II Jim" Mann Is chosen, he VIII be a
perpetual thorn in the side of the DEM
ocrats. He Is the most active and in
yeterate fighter on the floor of the
House and is skilled parliamentarian.
II leader of the minority, he will make
1t his business to mix pestiferous medI-
cine for the Democrats every day that
Congress is in session.
The plan of the Republicans will be-
If Mann becomes minority leader, to
hack him up with such able parliament
tartans as Uncle Joe," Representative

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
marlSable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
f1ltering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as We take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich
heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, inability to hold urine,
smarting or burning. brick-dust or sedi-
ment, saliow complexion, rheumatism,
may be weak or Irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most heal
ing influence. An ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable success
as a kidney and bladder remedy Is DR..
kilmers Swamp-Root.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by mail, absolutely free.

CANAL WILL REDUCE
RATES, SAYS BAKER
Baltimore Man Declares
Freight Charges to West
Will Be Lower.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 9.-That the
completion of the Panama Canal will
mean the reduction of freight rates be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coast
cities from so to SIS a ton was the
statement Of Bernard n. Baker, multi
millionaire, of Baltimore, to the South
ern Commercial Congress today. There
will also be a saving of time.
With ordinary l6-knot boats, Baker
said, twelve days will be ample between
New York and San Francisco, whereas
at the present the railroad freight car
averages twenty-one days for the dis
tanCe.
The AmericanHawaiian Steamship
Company, under its Mexican subsidy,
has been able to build UP business of
more than 500,OCO tons a year, crossing
the Isthmus of Tehauntepec, according
TO Baker. and he bitterly criticised the
"do-nothing policy Of this Government.
which with Government-owned steamers
and railroads is doing nothing to develop
commerce"
He suggested that small commits
sion be named by Congress to study
the development of an American mer-
chant marine, to report at the secand
session of the incoming Congress. The
last resort for American trade is South
and Central America, according to the
Baltimore millionaire. Japan has a mo-
nopoly of the Pacific trade, and Jap
anese boats, by means of the Govern
ment subsidy, have absolutely driven
Americans out of the carrying trade.
In this connection Baker said:
AS / construe the new Japanese
treaty, We are giving to Japan all the
use Of the Panama canal, and to all
their ships the benefit which we may
give our own ships except in the coast
wise trade; and this in face of the dis
cussion by Senators and Representa-
tives on differential duties, tonnage
taxes, preferential duties and free ships.
While we are haggling because We are
Democrats, Republicans or insurgents,
over the method of doing 1t, Japan is up
and doing She has realized the obi
cations of the Panama canal to do
something long before We awake even.

IDEAS FOR POPULAR
GOVERNMENT GROW
Bailey's War on Initiative
Will Not Defeat Plan
In Senate.
FORCED TO FRONT
BY TEXANS ATTACK
Senator Owen Will Continue Fight
to Get Arizona Constitu-
ton Approved.

Senator Bailey's announcement that
he is out to fight the initiative, the
referendum, and the recall does not
mean that these three great features of
the movement for popular government
are going to be frowned upon in Con-
gress, or even in the Senate.
On the contrary, these ideas have at
taiped a promince in Congress which
they have never before attained. There
are two reasons for this. One is that
Senator Bailey's resignation and his at
tack on them forced them to the front,
and the other is that Senator Owens s
filibuster in favor Of the approval of
the Arizona constitution, which he con-
Quoted on the closing day of the ses-
sion, has emphasized them in a way
they have never before been emphasized
in Congress.
Because of the row in the Senate over
the initiative, referendum. and recall,
new interest has been given to the ques-
ton OF whether the Arizona constitution
is going to be approved by the President
and by Congress.
Owen Fights For It.
Senator Owen, who Is partly Indian,
and who Is one of the hardest fighters
IN Congress, declared recently he would
do his utmost for the approval of the
Arizona constitution. Senator Owen is
a firm believer in the initiative, the
referendum, and the recall. He be-
lieves they are absolutely essential to
the continuance of real popular govern
ment. He thinks that without them II
is impossible for the public to express
its will
In the extra session, Senator Owen
will be heard from again on the ap-
proval OF the Arizona constitution. He
expects the opposition or Senator Bailey.
but for this he is prepared. Senator
Owen has for years been working in
the interest of the initiative and refer
endum and the recall He insists the
Democratic party cannot stand in the
way of these reforms, and that If 1t
does it will be run over.
Owen Defends Idea.
Senator Owen points out that there
are a number OF States who have
adopted these reforms and it is absurd
TO call them new or untried. He de-
Clares he IS going to make II his bust
ness as a Senator of the United States
to force these matters to the front and
extend their application.
He believes that politicians will find
It impossible to stand in the way, and
that these methods of giving voice to
the popular will will be generally adopt
ed.
A good many Of the Democratic Sena-
tors who are not in favor of the lnitia-
tive and referendum and the recall feel
:.
interfere in the question of what kind
of a constitution a Territory should
adopt prior to admission as a State
They say that 1t is the privilege of
Arizona to frame its own constitution
without interference.
