Some Food For Thought
"Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad," is an old philos
• ophy, and 'Speaker Cannon seems to be absolutely frantic with rage.
•^Before the National Manufacturers' association, made up largely of big
mill owners who want to be protected against foreign goods but not against
foreign labor, Cannon last night raved and stormed against everything that
does not wear the stand-pat label of old privileged republicanism.
Cannon wants the scalps of the insurgents. They have humbled the old
tyrant of the house.'' They have clipped his wings by knocking him off the
rules "committee. They threaten to eliminate him entirely from the speaker
ship if they do not, in fact, crown his old age with defeat in election, and Can
non hates with a hatred that is as intense as is his loyalty to anything that
stands^ for special privileges for the rich and a truckling subserviency for the
poor. ■'-.';:^;f'>-- ' >- " X:. -
And he slopped clear over before this bunch of rich manufacturers last
night. '. h&lr£s-&$
"We have a great president and a republican majority, yet we cannot say
that there are not enough cowards to flock with the populistic-democratie
minority and leave us without an efficient republican majority," said Cannon.
His idea that a man who stands alone and fights for what he wants against the
crowd, as the insurgents have done, are cowards, shows the old fellow to be
getting not only mad, but childish. ,*. ■ -
But he gets worse the further he goes. He asked what should be don*>
with the insurgents who thus desert the cause of privilege, and a banqueter
facetiously remarked '"shoot them."
.'.-■ "Shoot them!" roared Cannon. "Shoot them! that would be too honora
ble a death for them. Hanging should be their fate."
All of which, of course, tickled the manufacturers who want high protec
tion for themselves and none for other people. But how will it strike the great
masses who are being robbed up to their eyebrows by high prices these days?
f f : v Cannon is certainly getting "beside himself" with rage, and his raving
will be worth hundreds of thousands of insurgent votes this fall. The people
of this country are pretty well convinced that they want no more of the Can
non stripe, and if he just keeps talking the chances for a big crop of insur
gents in congress next year are fine.
It's That Wm. H. Taft Affair Now
S . Standpat organs may attempt to belittle the matter, Job holders and bitter partisans may at
tempt to sidetrack It, the small-souled fellows who still put party above all human consideration
may fall to see it, but the Ballinger affair is no longer a Balilnger affair, but a Wm. H. Taft affair.
The finger of public accusation points straight at the president since the disclosures of Stenographer
Kerby. On one hand was Glavis, a young man on small salary, who had no social, political or
other pull, who thought It his duty to protest against and expose an attempt to rob the nation,
'Whose employe he was. On the other hand was Ballinger, a high official, Mr. Taft's social friend,
a man with strong financial and political influence. ....
i -} Did President Taft take Ballinger's word for It and publicly disgrace Glavis by telling Bal
ilnger'to discharge him from the service? This is one of the questions the people pt the country
are today asking. -X'',7':i' ■'•"•»' .^- - - " •
■ It is one of the new issues, j There is another question, another issue. Has the president of the
United States attempted to fool the people of . the . United States by lying to them?
P. ■ Did President raft go over all that evidence as he said he did? Or did he decide to publicly dis
honor the poor youth, Glavis, and publicly exonerate his good friend Balilnger upon the presen
tation of the matter by | Ballinger's henchman?. r '•'•'''
I '•; I Whether it is or is not a good thing to do, whether or not the administration's friends like it,
the people are'today putting Mr. Taft on trial for gross injustice to an employe of the nation
and a small indecent attempt to deceive the nation itself. .-
--1",. Not knowing that Wickersham had suddenly found the Lawler memorandum and handed It
: over to the committee .who can compare it with his Glavis letters, Taft on Saturday wired a gen
eral denial from the golf grounds.' This was a mistake. There was more in the charge of mean
treatment of an inferior and lying to the public than could be covered in a general denial by Taft,
, Senator Root and the whole Washington .cabal,*: whose sole mission in. government life seems, to be
to save the head of that man Ballinger and the chances . that. may still be left to those who want
to steal Alaska coal.
\\ On Sunday Mr. Taft confessed that he ordered Lawlor to write that letter. He was so busy
getting away on a speech-making tour that he handed the work of exonerating Ballinger and dis
gracing Glavis over to Ballinger, as It were. The defendant thus entered the plea of not being
1 unjust or a prevaricator. There are thousands of pupils In the primary grade of our public schools
lean see what the defendant has thus plead guilty to being, and further comment would be gross
waste of ink, paper, type, metal and postage. .;

Mr. Editor:
Your article last night, about
the Norwegian celebration con
tains a misstatement of facts.
Sweden never had any suprem
acy over Norway, but the two
countries were united from 1814
to 1905, when the union was dis
solved in mutual agreement. -
We date our celebration back
to the 17th of May, 1814, when
our constitution was signed by the
first Norwegian storting at Elds

HARMONY AT
GRADUATION
' The harmony of the dress of
the whole class Is one of the Items
which makes a graduation proces
sion a beautiful spectacle. :
In most schools it is consider
ed a mistake for any girl to ap
pear more j- elaborately dressed
than the others. And in certain
private schools of the kind termed
"exclusive" ' there prevails the
democratic custom of wearing a
uniform style of gown at gradua
tion. . . . ■ ;^-e^
v But even when perfect uniform
ity is not possible, as In schools
of large size, much can be added
to the effect of the procession if
the girls jof the , class agree upon
harmony in small details. By
wearing shoes of the same color
and sleeves of the . same length,
or by knotting their sashes. in ex
actly the same manner, the -grad
uates contribute '• to ' the ' sense of
class unity, as they mount • the
platform to receive. their diplo

Bamlboo furniture should be
rubibed occasionally with a mix
ture of linseed oil and turpentine,
followed by a brisk polish with a
soft cloth. This furniture should
be exposed to the air frequently
and kept away from the fire.
Mortar and paint may be re
moved from window glass with
hot sharp vinegar.
Instead of spreading out sheets
to iron try this plan: Fold the
sheet In half, then quarter, lay on
ironing board as though to Iron.
Now iron the rest of clothes on
top of sheet, turning It between
pieces so as to reach all parts, fin
ally folding, and begin" on an
other sheet. In this way sheets
will be ironed better and easier
than doing them separately.

Slowly said Old Sleepy Eye.
"Come on, Drouse now is our chance!
All join hands, and let us dance!"
Nod said, climbing on the bed
That belonged to Tousel Head.
'Round they danced in merry glee
All as happy as could be.
'Twasn't very long before
Tousel Head was heard to snore,
' Then upon the Wings of Night,
He was soon in rapid flight.
"Wo will go right through tho Moon,
And will be there very soon,"
Said Sweet Slumber, laughing loud;
Just then Tousel caught a Cloud
That cried, "O, please let me go,
-For 1 ought to make some snaw!'
Then at last they canio to where
Were great Castles of thin air;
'Round and 'round and 'round they flew,
Seeing mang things quite new;
Lightning Bugs they saw that night.
Chasing 'round with lamps so bright.
"Hero we'll sco small blades of Grass
Cut up capers as we pass.
Book Worms making great big Books
Hook Worms making little Hooks,"
Said Sweet Slumber; " 'Twill bo fun. ,
So get busy now and run." .
Tousel Head enjoyed tho sight
Of the things he saw that night.

are flames such as are calculated
to throw a pall over the com

when describing the combustion
of a distillery or pork-packing

evidence, the rest, moreover, is
easy to guess. . You don't have to
read the story through to realize
that the building was Gutted, and
that later the Tottering Walls
