THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION
GIVE UNCLE JOE 4 CHANCE.

A young boy named 1iodenburg,
who represents the East ST. Louis
District OF Illinois. and who has only
served % years In Congress. hns had
the effrontcry To announce that Uncle
Joe Cannon will not ask n reelection
next year. Uncle Joe liz hurt. What
IL more. he liz indignant that n little
whinper-snappe of b5 years should
undertake To aay when Uncle Joe
should retire. Uncle Joe In only So
years old. Aside from two "involun-
tary vacations he has been elected
to the House for a period OF nfty
yenrs--at the end OF his present term.
"A we understand IL. he would like
two more full terms so M to make
nfty years of actual service In the
House. OF which he served Ms Speaker
for eight. This would make his last
term expire in 1927, which Is suffl.
cinntly near 20 make ambitious young
men of HIS district wait To- find out
how he then feels. Personally. we
hope Uncle Joe VIII live 10 be hum
dred and stay In Congress all OF the
time. He has his fauts--which is
why we love him--and he has his
virtues, because OF which we respect
him.
hut II must be understood that
Uncle Joe IL no longer an individual.
He is an institution. He is the only
living man who practiced at the Iili-
nols bar with Abraham Lincoln and
attn remains in public life. IL there
is anywhere a fountain OF eternal
youth, Uncle Joe has been secretly
drinking from IL. He In a joy for
ever. Certainly IL Congress had It's
way Uncle Joe would be elected per-
inanentiy and would live forever. That
comes as nepr terrestrial immortality
and as near human satisfaction as
any man can hope to attain.--phfla-
