In " addition to his widow, 3 Cheney is survived by two daughters. LANDIS’ RESIGNATION GETS TO THE PRESIDENT Base Ball Power to Make Tour of Training Cnmps—-BooEn American Legion.

C, Uncle Joe to Be Citizen in Ranks; His Message to Constituents “Unele Joe” Cannon, who has served longer than any other man in the Congress of the United States, writing to his constituents on the golden an- niversary of his first election to Con- gress, tells them that he is going to hand them back his commission at the expiration of his present term—to give way to “young hearts.” Representative Cannon, in an open letter to his republican constituents of the eighteenth Illinois district, writes that the time has come for old heads to give way to young hearts, alert and active minds and vigorous bodies. “A younger man will take my place in the House, get acquainted with the machinery of legislation and soon be equipped to meet every emergency that may come to a representative, be it international misunderstanding or domestic trouble growing out of idealistic but impractical teachings at home. I have confidence that my successor, whoever he may be, wiil not alone represent the ilocal and perhaps selfish interests of the eighteenth district, but also the broader national sentiment and in- tcrests of the American people; for if I have becen credited with sup- pbrting policies for the benefit of the whole people, regardless of sec- tion or industry, it has been largely due to the fact that I represent peo- ple_ who took the same comprehen- siv3 view of the nation as a whole and were ever willing to !nbordl-| L Substanee of Letter.
