JUNGLE JOE" ON LOBBYING.

1t was to be expected that Uncle
Joe Cannon would be heard from on
the "insidious lobby" which is now
occupying 50 much time of the demo-
cratic congress and president He
was little less than 40 years in the
lower house of congress, and has q
longer record than any other man as
its presiding officer SO he has a right
to speak When Uncle Joe talks he
never fails to say something Here
are some extracts from an article
recently written by ex-Speaker Cannon
and printed in the Saturday Evening
Post, and there Is more horse sense
contained in the several brief para
graphs than has been thus far devel
oped in all the Mulhall letters and
the entire lobby investigation:
This is peoples government. and
the people rule-often through the
lobby. They may follow either wise
men or fools. honest men or takers;
but, to safeguard lawmaking, the con-
stitution provides that representative
must be twenty-five years old and
citizen of the United States for seven
senator thirty years old and
a citizen for nine years.
The constitution makers proposed
that the lawmakers should be dry be-
hind the ears and that they should |
nave arrived at the age Of discretion !

wanted neither infants nor incompe- |

GREATEST OF PUBLIC QUESTIONS

The Tariff question to-day is the
greatest public question in America
says the Cedar Rapids Iowa) Optim-
list 1t Is the one great question that
affects all the people. We have tried
the Tariff for revenue only. and that
landed US on the rock of failure
while the Tariff protection policy has
been, and Is to-day, the great incentive
for the prosperity enjoyed by the peo-
pie If the Democrats will to put on
to the country the ideas for revenue
only, and disaster follows as it prop
ably will. for there Is no reason to be
lieve that it viii forsake its way OF
doing things of the past, then the
Democratic National supremacy will
naturally take a tumbling, as in the
days OF 1893 to 90. Tariff for revenue
only and Free Trade are beautiful
things to talk about, but dangerous
to put in operation. Such have been
their record in the past. and such
necessarily they will be if invoked in
the future.
