Uncle Joe Cannon, Ruler
Of House for Years, Dies

joe" the stalwarE car OF the lower
house, the fira-eating DICTATOR, the
genial, whiskered politician clench-
ing cigar in his teeth under q broad
brimmed hat.
Danville knew him, too, as "Uncle
Joe," and as its most famous towns
man, but knew him also as q man
who came to great wealth during q
lifetime here. He was accounted many
times millionaire and at his death
he owned substantial share Of the
bank which he and his late brother,
William, founded. Much of his wealth,
it was said, was acquired through for
tunate investment of his money by
his brother.
His death marked the passing of a
congressman whose time Of service in
national halls never has been equalled.
He went to congress from Danville
district after a term as county attor-
ney, and served from 1873 to 1891.
He was defeated then, but came back
two years later to serve from 1893 to
1913. Then he was carried to defeat
with the Republican loss of 1912, but
once more returned in 1915, to hold
his seat until he retired at the end
of the sixty-first congress.
His last six years of service began
to see the dimming of his powers, and
he was no longer known for his sky
rocket style of debate, his active ges-
turing on the floor of the house, and
his furious assault of foes.
Once Danville thought to see him
president, and in 1903 when he was
at his crest as an iron-handed ruler
Of the house, he got So votes for the
Republican nomination. But the next
year he was shorn of the power which
the speaker held in congress, through
coalition of Democratic and 1nsurg-
ents, and from that time he was pic
turesque rather than formidable fig
ure in American politics.
With characteristic fire, he declined
the vice presidency after he had failed
of the presidential nomination in 1908,
and on many occasions, his friends
said, he refused compromises in poll
tics which might have tempered his
infrequent reverses.
His principal pleasure, after leav-
ing congress, was in sitting among
the souvenirs of his public service.
The walls of his den, and of many
another room in the large house, were
crowded with cartoons which appeared
during his hey-day, and with pictures
of famous friends. He listened much
to the radio, too, and read his Bible
each day until his eyes grew too dim.
Until last June he cared for all his
correspondence fastidiously, sitting
for several hours each day at his
desk debating to a secretary.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

Conscience Doth Make Cowards Of
Us ALP
Only guilty conscience does that.
An approving conscience can make q
timid man hon-hearted and the weak
invincible.
Conscience only makes towards Of
those who have done wrong. It is a
relentless prosecutor when we have
done evil and an invaluable ally when
we are right.
"He has the strength of ten men
whose heart is pure" says the wise
man. He has the strength Of q craven
whose heart is evil and whose con-
science is accusing.
Lee Tolstoy lived and wrote during
Russia's most terrible days. Siberia
was the CHASTITY receptacle for all
those who defied the tyranny of the
Cars. No mans life was safe if his
brain was active and his opinions be-
came vocal. Subserviency and safety
went together. But Tolstoy had a
conscience which he mixed throughly
with his thinking and while he spoke
the most revolutionary doctrines the
house of Romanoff dared not touch
him. His conscience made him a
prophet, not coward.
