Uncle Joe Cannon demonstrated
that he could "come back,'' when
he captured the republican nomina-
tion for congress in his old Illinois
district. The former speaker is pos
sessed of considerable knowledge,
and his experience makes his SER
vices valuable to his constituency.
While he may not have been right at
all times, his ability was unques-
toned. The day of the theoretical
demagogue is drawing to a close.

$1,000. The present congressional

The west will not suffer because of
the war, as the price of foodstuffs
are advancing. However the cotton
growing states of the south will be
hard hit unless the struggle is a
short one. This nation has had a
marked development, but it is very
evident that we have not made the
most of our opportunities. A nation
as wealthy in natural resources as
this one is should be almost inde-
pendent of foreign countries.

Il was the opinion Of fans who saw
the game yesterday that The Indians
showed more fighting spirit than they
have at any other time this year.
After the fourth inning when they
made two runs, the tribe started out
to win the game with all the determ-
ination in the world. Whitaker tight
