Uncle Joe Cannon has announced his intention of, retiring from congress at the end of his present term, March 4, 19: He has served in all twenty-three terms or forty-six years. His service is not contin- uous, however, for he was absent from the fifty-sec- ond and sixty-third congresses, having gone to defeat in 1890 when the Democrats captured the lower house in the midst of the Harrison presidency. It was a pre- lude to the Democratic presidential victory of 1892. And again in 1912 following the Roosevelt assault upon the Cannon speakership and the Democratic vic- tory over a divided Republican party. So in forty-six years Mr. Cannon has suffered two defeats, neither of which are chargeable to dissatis- faction with his services to his constituents but rather to a psychological condition that occurs at times among voters when the strongest and most popular go down to defeat along with the others who have outworn their public welcome. Mr. Cannon has been a figure in public life for more than a half century. He really comes to us from an} older and altogether different generation. In the ad- vancing years he was quick to discern and cast out the} worthless and retain the good. By nature conserva- tion, he has adhered to tested and well-established principles and no man living today is better qualified to say what the doctrine of the Republican party is; what its history is and what its ambitions should be. He has been a member of it from its founding, its con- stant supporter throughout its eventful and history making career, and its defender in season and out of season, in good report and evil report. The country, regardless of party, will regret the re- tirement of Joseph G. Cannon to private life. While his age is eighty-six, he is vigorous and sound in health and in political principles. He will live and deserves to live for many years to come. His constituents in the Eighteenth Illinois district should decline to consent to his retirement, rather should the people of that district return him to con- gress as the unanimous choice, without opposition and with a record majority. We have never had but the one of his exact type in public life. We will not likely have another. Let us keep him as long as we can and let us keep him in congress. He belongs to the na- tion, not to the Fighteenth Mlinois district and that district should have sufficient pride in an institution like Joseph G. Cannon to see the entire propriety of the suggestion made. The valiant old fighter will never wear out for there is high class material in him; but if he retires, there will be the great danger of rusting out. SS TIME TO BEGIN LOPPING. They are very courageous words that Mr. Carl Laemmle, moving picture producer, utters from Chi- cago when he says: “One hundred million American dollars invested in moving pictures are endangered by the acts of a dozen or se wastrels. Ninety-nine per cent of the film per an and sound. We do not intend to allow the infinitesimal minority to wreck the business. No producer wishes to employ people like that. They will be lopped off like rotten branches.” Get the ax old top and get busy. There never was a better chance nor a more opportune time to accu- mulate a big heap of rotten branches. Trim up Hoily- wood and let’s see what it would look like. ener A SABBATH ENTERTAINMENT. Fine business. The preachers and the theatrical pro- moters in New York are debating the purity of their own and other outfits of religions and worldly char-' acter. It seems so far to be a case of criticism and mud-throwing. The church people are tearing the movie and stage stars to ribbons and the theatrical folks are calling attention to the particulars of every preacher who slipped from the straight and narrow path and every church member who fell from grace for years back. The amount dug up by both sides to the controversy is appalling and the air is filled with scandal, What benefit can result from forking over such s0- cial barnyard refuse no one pretends to explain. Doc- ter Straton of the Calvary Baptist church dumped the first load of garbage and William A. Brady lost no time in delivering the next load. It all occurred in the house of the Lord where on other and more orderly occasions Christian charity is extolled. Brother Anderson of the Anti-Saloon league refereed the riot and Christians and sinners elbowed each other and had a lovely time. The time was Sabbath afternoon and the presence of city police was required to quell what assumed the Proportions of a near riot. A Madison Square Garden prizefight audience nev- er provided more hissing, cat calls, stamping of feet, than did this debate upon the relative purity of church and theater. Scandal and slander were never more freely bandied about in a public gathering. Intoler- ance and abuse were never more in evidence in any contest between people representing the church and the world. If it was elevating and accomplished any good pur- pose, the rough features could be overlooked; but the whole performance did nothing but rake out of old ' "| dustry, commerce and finance topsy-turvey,” declares smelly closets a lot of forgotten skeletons and heap them up in the middle of a house more properly de- voted to other and better purposes. It stirred up a lot of bad blood and laid before the younger genera- tion a lot of nasty wickedness without any compensat- ing lesson to be drawn therefrom. 4 Converts to more holy things are not made with battle-axes. Crystai palaces are unsafe places dwell in times of stone-throwing contests. The world is pretty well informed of its own wickedness without | rehashing specific instances of lapses from righteous-| ness.

There| are few visible signs of returning prosperity, but the under-currents are running in the right direction and here and there are coming to the surface. Establish- ed precedents are of little value today. There prob- ably never was a time in the history of trade when foresight was at such a premium over hindsight. We should not only stop looking backward, but try to for- get the past. The prejudices and hatreds engendered | - by the .war are liabilities to be disposed of as expedi- tiously as possible. “The industrial rehabilitation of the world is held back by selfishness and lack of vision. Too many groups of people are'seeking short cuts to prosperity| which can only be taken at the expense of the general ‘public. A mental disease is spreading with virulence which has for its symptoms the hallucination that the} citizens of the United States can tax themselves rich. Freight rates to be lowered with the government mak- ing up the difference between what shippers want to pay and what the railroads must have in order to con-| ~ tinue in operation, soldiers’ bonus amounting to $425,- 000,000 annually to be paid without any specific means suggested for raising the money, loans to farmers| without proper security or interest, and high wages to be maintained by the addition of government gratui- ties are some of the demands of paternalism gone mad. Even manufacturers who are in a position to see broadly and think clearly are insisting upon protective turiffs based upon pre-war conditions and not taking| inte account the economic situation of the world to-| y- “The export trade is still a dead letter. Progress is} retarded mainly by the adverse situation abroad, but| to some extent by our own unreason. We are not) ready to treat with the export markets as we do with | the honest, but embarrassed creditors at home. It shotfld be evident to anyone that foreign buyers could not immediately resume operations after the war as though the only obstacle to trading was an embargo now removed.” acetate CHECKING THE CHECKERS. “Reform falls into disrepute,” says the Philadelphia Ledger, “‘when the reformers seem to adopt the atti- tude of the mother in the antique anecdote who says to the nursemaid, ‘Go and see what baby is doing and tell it not to.’ “Things that need to be prohibited are sufficiently numerous without sending out searching parties with ‘X-ray apparatus in quest of more. “A cripple in Massachusetts was arrested, convicted and fined for playing a game of checkers on Sunday out of doors in a public park. If he had played the game indoors, he would have gone scot free. Suppose! he had played. it while sitting in the doorway. “The Massachusetts State Checker association | sought to have the ban lifted on the game to the ex- tent of permitting it in the open between 2 and 6 in the afternodn on Sundays. The house of representa- tives has placed its stern veto on the incendiary pro- posal. The blue law stands. If you are poor and live in a small house on a narrow street, you must stay in on Sunday with your favorite pastime. Carry your| chessboard to the park and you may contaminate pub- lic morals. “Such superprudery and hyperhypocrisy is calcu- lated to disgust average law-abiding morality. To multiply oppressive restriction and enforce a repeal- able law long after there has ceased to be any sense or use in it does not tend to stabilize that government by the consent of the governed which makes for pub- lic decency and civic morality. One might almost as reasonably insist that the grass shall not grow and the song birds remain mute in Boston Common or along the Concord road as so ridiculously to misconstrue in those regions the human privilege for which the fathers bled and fell.” DS WHAT HAPPENED THE CRADLE? Down in the Virginia house of delegates, where the late Patrick Henry once arose in his place and told a world, all too short of the article, how ardently he de- sired liberty, and in case it could not be supplied death could be substituted, they have a different brood of legislators these days. No more do the bold patriots stand forth and declare their principles. No more do the rafters reverbrate with impassioned oratory. The old lions have passed. Their roar would startle the present timid members out of their skins. With what disgust the shades of G. Washington, T. Jefferson, John Randolph—not to mention the shades of other and more fiery Virginians, must look down from the parapet of Heaven upon the poor rabbits who sit in the old house of delegates and pretend to up- hold the dignity of the Old Dominion and at the same time are frightened at a lobby, and would seek to pro- tect themselves by the adoption of such a resolution as has been introduced in these words and language to-wit: “Resolved, by the house of delegates that the clerk of the house be and he is hereby authorized and di- rected to take the measurement of and furnish to each member of the house a luxurious set of artificial whis- kers, appropriately and becomingly designed for the purposes of disguise, to facilitate ingress and egress to and from the house without recognition by the vari- ous lobbies. “Resolved further, that the cost of such parapher- nalia be paid by such lobbies.” ‘You will readily observe from their portraits that the boys of the earlier Virginia period cultivated no whiskers for disguisement, nor substituted any false ones for camouflage purposes. They all wore their faces barefooted and were not ashamed to show them in any company. Many of them became presidents. Somebody has evidently chopped up the Virginia presi- dential cradle for kindling wood. es Bischoff, the Chicago swindler, came from Holly- wood, California, two years ago. He must have brought the jazz stuff along with him. oo Justice, to really count and give the object lesson intended, must be not only certain but swift. 0 What is so rare as a day in June—a windless day in Casper at this season.

That women dress primarily to please men is a well established fact. It ever has been and ever will be. When Eve, the Garden ef Eden finally decided upon a fig leaf for adornment, you can be sure that some time during their strolls. Adar: had said that the fig leaf was © pretty little leaf. And so it Is today. woman's head, she bears the image of some man when choosing a gown. Many a little gray mouse of a wom- an goes about in silken hose and short skirts when her shin bones would be a lot more comfortable in heavy wool-) ens, simply because she knows that fond husband adures transparency. And there are some of the fairest who feel that they must tone down to suit the man of the family. Many a wom- an has felt the call of the bobbed head, but has not obeyed the call be- cause their husband refused to be seen with her in the decollete head-) dress. Where is the woman who does not feel that she Jooks well in short skirts? Yet there are some who have felt dowdy these four years in length to please a husband who seem- ed otherwise perfectly normal. The afternoon dress is the one gar- ment that a woman can choose to please her very own self. Her one salvation for self expression lies in; it. In it she can display herself as she would like to be as there are few men in these busy days cavorting around to tea dansants and mati- nees. It is a peculiar individuality which cannot find expression in the wide variety of afternoon frocks one has to choose from this season. Perhaps the best type of afternoon gown for general utility is the crepe gown. Heavy crepes de chine and crepe Roma are taking the place of the Canton crepes and georgette crepes. When combined with lace, crepe Roma makes an oxquisite cos- tume and une that will fit into ‘the most formal gatherings. Brown lace combined with a heavy crepe de chine also makes a successful combination.

The sleeves of this costume are made in flowing peasant style and banded in the same embroidered ma- terial from the shou’der seams down to the sleeve ends. Side view of this gown gives one straight line of em- broidery from neck line to skirt hem. For the woman who goes out a great deal but has small means to use for the gowning there is the ever love ly black gown of heavy satin. When made in simple lines and untrimmed, after. searching through} ‘Whether it be! the gay Adonis whom she is trying) lto land, or the Uttle old hardworking |{rms.

The long shoulder can be made so that sleeves of different colors can be basted in at will and when left off entirely the short sleeved effect is obtained. Whether or not one pretends to | mind men's opinions, these fashion ideas hold women's interest. Lace {s constantly appearing in new stripe of ecru wool lace running from the cen- ter neck line to the hem is tremen- | dously effective.
