As Josh Bill- Ings once said, “There is a good deal of !llull nature in some folks, after The Humiliation of Mr. Cannon, The stirring upheaval in congress that has been in progress practically all week, and for which the seeds were sown in the beginning of the extra ses. slon last year, has resulted in com plete humiliation of Speaker Cannon While there is a pathetic side to his discomfiture through such a decisive repudiation after a long career of use ful service crowned with four elections to preside over the house, Mr. Cannon cannot escape responsibility for hay ing brought this plight upon himself. The clouds have been gathering above him for a long time, and it has been clear for months that his con- tinuance in the speakership after this term was impossible. Although he could easily have saved himself and lifted the load from the shoulders of his republican associates and colleagues by recognizing the inevitable and with drawing himself from the list of those to be considered for speaker by the next congress, he either refused to recognize the situation or was blind to it. It is a reasonable inference that had Mr. Cannon at the beginning of this session or, perhaps, even so late as a month ago announced his intention to retire at the close of this present term, no coalition would have been formed between the democrats and Insurgents or if effected, would have gone to such lengths, and he would, himself, occupy a stronger position before the people than he does today. If there were any possessed of doubt as to the impending retirement of Mr. Cannon, irrespective of party control of the next house, that doubt must now be dispelled. Whether the new committee on rules with the speaker eliminated works out any better than the old committee, of which the speaker was, by virtue of his office, a member, will depend largely upon the personnel of the first committee as it is to be composed. It is a sort of grim humor that the hu- miliation of Mr. Cannon is at the same time in one respect a vindication in proving beyond peradventure his con- tention that under the existing rules, a clear majority of the house could ac- complish anything it set about. New Torpedo Boat Destroyers. The latest achievement in naval con struction is Great Britain's new tor pedo boat destroyer, “Swift.” With a speed of thirty-flve knots an hour, comparatively small displacement and with terrific gun power it is the most formidable naval craft of its type. The amount of time required in the con- struction and equipment of this vicious sea fighter indicates the great care and attention which the British govern- ment has expended upon it that it might be the best possible of its kind. The goal was evidently reached be- cause no other destroyer known has | all of the desirable qualities developed to such a degree of perfectness as has this one. The fact that both Great Britaln and Japan consider this type of naval fighter exceptionally formidable de- mands respect for its ability. For the protection of a ragged shore line, such as' both these two nations have, a speedy and destructive small war ves- sel would be a necessity. The ability to dodge out from behind a neck of land, dash across the open water, strike a telling blow and then scoot for |cover would make the greatest source of annoyance to a besieging enemy. Yet with the constant development of naval war equipment the chances are that even this triumph of warship building willgbe out of date in a few years and will find its way to the scrap heaps of the great foundries. The new and the more highly improved are constantly demanded and it does not take long for the greatest triumph of naval invention to become anti- quated. It is this very feature of the costly war vessel that lends inspiration to the movements for disarmament and peace, The Sap is Running. The sugar camps of the northeast are the busiest places known during this season of the year, for the “sap's runnin’’’ The “spring harvest” time has come and the yellowish fluid is dripping musically from the spouts into the large buckets. The sugar house is a busy place night and day, and while the furnace roars and crackles, the great pans bubble and steam and the sweet liquid slowly flows from compartment to compartment, turning into a rich, thick, brown syrup. This is the marketable product which comes, sealed in cans and jars, to thie western markets. But the best. part of it all is the ‘'sugaring off,” sugar house to spend the evening, en joying old yarns, “maple wax,” dough- nuts, mince ple, apples and cider. It is a regrettable fact that so many of the sugar bushes of the east, and especially of New England, were cut down a few years ago and sold for lumber. But with the crushing com- petition of the manufacturers of “‘Canada Sap,” which was made out of corncobs, there was more profit in the lumber than in the sugar of the purest | quality. Hence, for a time the maple sugar industry went down. With the enforcement of the pure food and drugs act, however, a profitable activ- ity in the sugar camps of New England has begun again. At sugar-making time every true Yankee who lives in the west and south gets restl He seems to have “a longing and a want” which nothing the market affords cAn fully satisfy. But there is one occasion when he will for- get it. That is when the ““Maple Sugar Yankees” get together, sit down to when the neighborhood gathers at the | THE talk over old times. There is a genu ine satisfaction in that which is not found in anything else. Every section of the country has for its natives a peculiarly attractive feature, and “‘sugaring-off time" in March the Yankee's, s Extravagance or Expansion? James Jeremiah Hill has been scold- ing us again, taking for his theme our national sin of lavish expenditures. He piles up a tremendous mountain of ex pansion in the expenditures on nccount of governmental activities, national, state and municipal, and on top 4f this heaps another mountain chargeable to individual lavishness. Having arrayed all this stupendous aggregate of tower- ing millions, Mr. Hill topples it over to crush the patient, toiling railroad, whose taxes have been inordinately in- creased that the servants of the public may have the means to squander in a riot of costly bufldings, improved high ways, parks and other things that are of no avail to the railroad or corporate capital intent on adding to the ma- terial wealth of the country. Also, Mr. Hill shdws how this sin against the real growth of the country has been both augmented and aggra vated by the steady advance in wages responsible for the additional unit cost of everything mankind consumes. In his choicest vein of high-proof pessim- ism he inveighs against these scanda- lous proceedings on the part of the peo- ple, and while he does not say o In so many words, he leaves the inference unavoidable, that the very greatest crime of all has been the issue of bonds to construct a canal whose only possi- ble service can be to encourage water competition with the transcontinental railroads. Directly he denounces the {ssue of bonds for any purpose of pub- lic improvement. We are almost moved to Inquire of Mr. Hill just where he would have fin- ished any of his tremendous railroad undertakings had he been restricted to his unaided resources and been de- prived of the privilege of raising the necessary money by mortgaging the future of the country through which his lines operate. Such an inquiry might be deemed impertinent, and will not be pressed. Let the matter rest on Mr. Hill's own conclusions, which, reduced to simplest terms, are: All plans for public improvement should Le abandoned, the issue of bonds by nation, states and communities should cease, the expansion of the currency should be checked and the movement of wages upward should be reversed, that the corporations now controlling the wealth of the country may move in their own way and time to create additional wealth, to be again used in the same routine. Mr. Hill's doctrine of conservation is not likely to appeal to the active and ambitious people of the undeveloped west, who are as anxious to expand as he is to contract. \ b s The Horseshoe Debate. The horseshoe is a slgn of good luck until it gets into congress and then it betokens a row., The item of expense of shoeing the horses owned by the federal government and used by the secretary of state on officlal business precipitated a varicolored debate on the floor of the house recently, in which the leaders of all factions waxed oratorical and hurled defiance across the hall with a spirit recalling ante- bellum days. Champ Clark's ire was s0 aroused that in his vigorous inquiry about the appropriation of $8,000 an- nually for the care of the government stables, he demonstrated conclusively that he is really from Missouri. Just what it costs to take care of four horses and three vehicles and have them at call day and night has not even yet been ascertained aithough during in the union was announced. Of course, this was not done officlally and the pert, for none of the congressmen are or have been farriers. But the demo- cratic leaders apparently thought they had discovered ‘‘some choice bits of campaign material” and we may hear from them again on the same topic. In fact, the “horseshoe debate” harks back to the campaign against Martin VanBuren when he was accused dining off gilded china and of using linen dishrags in the kitchen of the the china was bought during the days of Washington and the linen dishrags were wornout teble napkins. Who| knows but that “‘the horseshoe” may be | the choicest gem of canned oratory in the coming democratic campaign. Americans Tender Hearted. chinery and’the flutter and sparkle of our social life we Americans carry warm, tender hearts, The speed at which we live and the demands which are made upon us produce in some call “American stolcism,” with the ac. pity for suffering and grief and that| life for us is summed up in the dollar and the luxuries it will buy. Others of our critics, not so severe, give us compassion, but say that we take pride in hiding that fact. It must not be denied that the de mand of the times and the speed of modern life require a concentration ¢f attention and ability which often serves to deaden sentiment. ‘“The struggle for existence” is flerce and “he who does not fight upon the firing line must forfeit the laurel wreath of victory and syccess.” Yet in spite of sugar on snow and have a chance tnlwhn others may say, Americans are, the progress of the debate the cost of | shoeing horses in almost every state | testimony could hardly be called ex-| of | White House until it was disclosed that | In spite of the rush of our business| affairs, the clang and whirr of our ma- | cases what some have been pleased to | cusation that we are cold, have little | credit for possessing sympathy and| MARCH as a general class, tender-hearted and | as emergency relfef to victims of great kind. There is not a dog but gets a friendly word from passersby and even brokendown horses that fall in the harness receive thelr share of material help. Not a human being is denied ald, protection or friendship when real suffering is made known. In addition to that, when calamity comes, no mat ter in what part of the world it may be, the Americans open their store- houses and give freely of the contents for the benefit of the needy. Yet it is true that Americans often keep under cover their work for the suffering and their regard for friends. No one hears of those who forfeit all tor friends and go through hardship and privation to relieve the distressed. It is not “heralded from the house- cause of that fact, to win Americans want in the race of life, but they are not cold-blooded about it rule. Americans are not so efferves- cent as are many across the wa but the tender heart is there just the same, The Speakership Here and Abroad. The effort to curtall still further the powers of the speaker of our na- tional house of representatives, which has taken on such a spectacular aspect, again draws attention to the difference in the character of that office here Great Britain after whom we copied in colonial days. The speaker with us, not only in the lower house of congress, but also in the corresponding body of our state legjslatures, has become more and more of a political leader, while abroad the tendency has been in the opposite direction— to make the speaker merely a moderator or presiding officer with nothing more to do than to enforce parliamentary rules and accord impar- tial recognition to all claimants for it. Some people profess to see In the present reaction against what is called speakership despotism, a movement to- ward divesting the office of its politi- cal character. It just happens that the American correspondent of the British magazine, known as The National Re- view, refers in an interesting way to this feature of our congressional situ- ation in the current number, drawing the contrast in these words: Unconsclously a sentiment has been growing during the last few years in favor of a reform in pirllamentary procedure, and it has been felt that the proper func- tion of the speaker was to be the servant and not the master of the house. The ex- ample of England is contagious. Men turn to Bngland and see the speaker there slmply a presiding officer sitting over the deliberations of the house with Jjudicial impartiality, and wish that their speaker might be equally removed from the in- fluence of partisan politics. Such a thing is not possible here at present, for the speaker Is always a shining mark; no house with a democratic majority would accept @ republican as speaker, and vice versa; no political party would consent to the return unopposed of the occupant of the chair. fore a reform can be instituted that would add to the dignity of the house and pro- mote the welfare of the country, but a beginning has at least been made. Revo- lutions do not always succeed, but they never go backward. Reform sometimes halts, but its progress is never blocked. The speaker has been snorn of some of his power, and the next congress will in all probability still further restrict his au- thority. When the speaker is no longer able to name his committees, which Is what the advocates of parliamentary pro- cedure are striving for, very substantial progress will have been made to restore to the house the real conduct of legisla tion instead of entrusting it to the speaker. overlooked and that is the essential distinction between the cabinet gov- ernment of Great Britain and the presidential government of the United States, whereby the responsible minis- try has seats in Parliament with all the powers of initiating bills and pilot- (ing them through the mazes of legis- |lation, while our president and cabinet |officers can only make recowmmenda- * | tions and work through friendly sena- tors and representatives who have their own constituencies to answer to. The speakership in the House of Commons is not a political office, be- cause the leadership of the majority party is assumed by the ministry, while in this country, the speaker is chosen to his office, both in congress and in | legislatures, for the very reason that |he is the natural commander of the dominant political forces. If the |speaker in congress were deprived of his political functions exercised through the appointment of commit- tees, membership in the house rules committee and the privilege of accord |ing precedence by recognition on the |floor, then the duties of leadership must devolve upon someone without official position, such as floor leader, |party whip, or caucus chalrman |chosen by the responsible majority. This is now done by the minority, the designation taking the form of a com plimentary vote cast for speaker at the | beginning of the session, which com- inllmpnl materializes into an election {to the speakership, in the event the | minority becomes transformed into majority, ! Strictly speaking, nothing in the constitution would prevent congress from choosing a speaker from entirely | | outside its, own membership just as it | chooses its other officers, and this | might be the easiest method of divest ing the speaker of his political func w(lnns put the practice has always been the other way, It is possible that we are heading toward the British and Euro- pean conception of the speakership, {but if it were put to popular vote to day the cholce would still be sure to favor the American type of speaker rather than the British type of speaker.
