NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETIREMENT.
Uncle Joe Cannon has announced his intention of
retiring from congress at the end of his present term,
March 4, 1923. 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
end 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 lias 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 th* Eighteenth Illinois 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.
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 sr wastrels. Ninety-nine per cent of the film per
sonnel is clean 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 Holly
wood and let’s see what it would look like.
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 sir is filled with
scandal.
What benefit can result from forking over such so
cial barnyard refuse no one pretends to explain. Doc
tor 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
smelly doueta 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.
Converts to more holy things are not made with
lat tie-axes. Crystal palaces are unsafe places to,
dwell in times of stone-throwing contest*. The world
is pretty well informed of its own wickedness without
rehashing specific instances of lapses from righteous
ness. Example in good conduct and patient, gentle'
leading away from immorality are still more effective
and dignified weapons than hurling missiles at scarlet
people inside or outside the church.
CRAZE FOR PATERNALISM.
“The world war and its aftermath have turned in
dustry, commerce and finance topsy-turvey,” declares
the Shoe and Leather Reporter. “The pendulum has
rwung from the extreme of activity and profits to the
opposite pole of depression, indecision and loss. There 1
are few visible signs of returning prosperity, but the!
under-current* are running in the right direction and
here and there are coming to the surface. Establish
ed precedent* 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
group* of people are seeking short cuts to prosperity
which can only be taken at the expense of the general |
bublic. A mental disease is spreading with virulence <
which has for it* 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
broadljr and think clearly are insisting upon protective
tariffs based upon pre-war conditions and not taking
into account the economic situation of the world to
day.
“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
shotfid 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.”
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 sayß|
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 afternoon on Sundays. The house of representa
tives has placed its stem veto on the incendiary pro
posal. The blue law stands. If you are poor and Jive
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 hyperhypoerisy 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 j
by the consent of the governed which makes for pub- |
lie 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.”
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 each 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.
Bischoff, the Chicago swindler, camo from Holly
wood, California, two years ago. He must have
brought the jazz stuff along with him.
Justice, to really count and give the object lesson
intended, must be not only certain but swift.
What is so rare as a day in June—a windless day in
Casper at this season.
If people forget how to walk Henry Ford is to blame.

Boston and Chicago can now argue the matter to a
final conclusion—which produced the dizziest financier.

Do Women Dress to Please Men?
That women dress primarily to
please men Is a well established fact.'
It over has been and ever will be.
When Eve, after searching through
the Garden cf Eden Anally decided
upon a flg leaf for adornment, you
can be sure that some time during
their strolls Adar- had said that the
flg leaf was a pretty little leaf.
And so it is today. Whether it be
the gay Adonia whom she is trying
to land, or the little old hardworking
husband, always in the Lock of every
woman’s head, she boars 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 bone* would be
a lot more comfortable in heavy wool
ens, simply because she knows that
fond husband adores transparency.
And there are some of th© 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
drees. Where is the woman who does
not feel that she looks well in short
skirts? Yet there are some who have
felt dowdy these four years in a
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
sho would liko to be as there are few
men in theee 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 exquisite cos
tume and one that will fit into the
most formal gatherings. Brown lace
combined with a heavy crepe de chine
also makes a successful combination.
Czecho-Slovaklan embroideries and
gaudy colored bands produce a pleas
ant type, that is extremely becoming
to the dark complected woman. One
lovely model of this sort is made of
navy blue duvetyn with bands of red.
blue, green ari orange pmbroidery at
tached three inches above the long
waist line at the side seams and ex
tending to the hem in a side panel ef

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 skipt 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.
