 CANNON

Regardless of estimates regarding ex-Speaker Cannon, his retirement from Congress, where he has been for all but two years since 1872, will leave a vacuum. There is not visitor or sightseer who comes to Washington that does not lean over the rail of the House gallery to "get a look at Uncle Joe.'" For some reason he has become one of the most interesting of all the sights.

OR PREvARIcAToRs?

Dodging the income tax is nothing as compared to the operation of the law providing for the publicity of cam paign expenses. In the statements filed by candidates for office with the federal authorities there are scores of candidates who make oath that they have not spent a single cent-not even two cents for the postage stamp that brought their statement to Washing ton. In a few statements the candi- dates have expended as high as eight thousand dollars, but there are many others who have not even bought a cigar, a soda water, oraa ticket to church fair. And the inference IS inevitable that these statements are made by tightwads or people whose memories are open to honest ci:iri- cisn:.
