WHEN UNCLE JOE CANNON
FIRED HOT SHOT

NASHA4N Doll III Leslie
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon Of I'LL.
nois, now SIS years old, has broken
every record for length OF public
service and today is the Oldest lIv-
ing statesman in active official
This Is his 4sth year in the house
OF representatives. He has been
for IS years member OF the Com
mitteo on Appropriations, 10 years
chairman Of that committee and s
years he was speaker Of the house.
Sometimes known as a reaction
AIRY, again as progressive, he has
always been for the present gene
ration Uncle Joe" loved, revered,
and now our most venerable land.
mark in tho halls OF the capitol.
His political experiences range
from the Lincoln.Dougias debates to
helping prepare the biggest war bud
get ever made by any government
In all history from having his name
on the same ballot with Abraham
Lincol In 1860 to refusal Of the
Democratic leaders OF his district
to name candidate to oppose him
in 1918.
Perhaps it Is not to be wondered
at that so many OF his fellow citi-
zens from every part of the nation
have confused him with government
tai omnlpotence.
He passed into his private office
at the capitol one day for a few
minutes and then came out and
stood in the doorway waiting for tho
signal from the doorman which
would tell Hmm that his presence
again was required on the house
floor.
A young soldier in uniform and
hobbling on crutch entered and
asked, us this Mr.. Cannon's Of
fice?''
Before the secretary could speak
Uncle Joe stepped forward. Il am
Mr.. Cannon" said he, what can 1
do for you?"
The wounded soldier told his
story. He was from the Walter
Reed hospital and had taken ad-
vantage Of a day sleave to inquire
into the possibility of getting four
months back.pay allowance which
had been interrupted for he knew
not what reason.
Come in here. I'll fix that for
you, said Uncle Joe. He led the
boy into his private office. The door
was not shut and we could over
hear the conversation. 1t was over
the phone with the director Of the
war risk insurance. Presently the
figurative blue flames OF sulphur
began vending through the open
door.
1t was only Uncle Joe cussing.
But with effect, even II over the
phone. What he said was as near
this as the law will permit the mail
to transmit It:
This Is Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois.
Now why in the blankety blank
blank has this boy got to wait? I
want you to look after him blankety
blank quick, or by the blankety
blank blank, I'll blankety blank
blank-what's that? It's all a mis-
take. You'll see to 1t right away?
Well, see that you do, Blankety

IN. the ruling passion
~ OF our womankind
Is to be in fashion.
So today we find,
If we watch them clearly,
With our eyes alert,
Every woman. nearly
Wears a short, plaid skirt!
Till that fashion passes,
You'll be helpless, quite;
For you'll find all classes
Seem to greet your sight
With the same Impression
TIL your eye 1t hurts
OF long procession,
Made of short, plaid skirts!
Yes. the chorus cutie
And the sub-deb smart,
And the cold, proud beauty
Can't be told apart;
And you can't tell, brother.
Any gay young firt
From your own grandmother
In short, plaid skirt!
