Special to Gateway by United Press.

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 WASHINGTON, May 6. Tomor- row will be Uncle Joe Cannon's eightieth birthday. His political friends and foes in the House of Representatives today celebrated the event with an hour of speeca-making filled with boquets and no brickbats.
 "Confdentially, l wish they would n't have this celebration" the ex- speaker admitted today. "Ifs too much like bringing flowers to a corpse"
 "Uncle Joe" is not the extreme partisan he was of old. That's why men of all parties in the House feel so friendly toward him. Since his "come-back" he has kept out of the lime-light.
 Uncle Joe still harbors a deepseated hatred of political reformers. Every time he gets chance he hits one on the head.
 q suppose" said Uncle Joe, "a re-  former has his place. Sometimes I think they get pretty thick. They say their province is to fight with the Almighty; that the Almighty and they are a majority.
 q am not here to abuse them. Nearly all of them are honest, but once in a while one of them is a hypocrite."
 In these days of aeroplanes and submarines, Uncle Joe is proud he gave substantial encouragement to Prof. Langley, the American who was jeered when he tried to fly in a heavier-than-air machine. He helped him get an appropriation.
 "You know the newspapers pounded on old Langley and called him a fool, said Cannon. "'Going to fly like a bird screamed the headlines derisi- vely. They poked fun at me for be- fiending him.
 q didn't mind it. To tell the truth the newspapers have kind of pleased me. They have given me nOtOriety for profanity and wickedness."
 Speaker Clark, Democratic leader Kitchin, Sherwood of Ohio and Gil lette of Massachusetts were the speakers. Rodenberg of Illinois was master of ceremonies.

 The desire to boost Anchorage is shown in a little story appearing in the Cook Inlet Pioneer of May 4. This story appeared first in the Gateway some weeks ago. It is about a gentle man who came to Seward and is still here. He never saw Anchorage but the Pioneer changes the wording to make it appear that he is in Anchor age and not in Seward. By the way the Pioneer also boasts of the fact that Jack Chovin has quit Seward foi Anchorage.
