The best day's work, or rather w work accomplished by the lower hou Congress in twenty five years was which ended the absolute power of Sp( Cannon. Credit for this work is due to the d crats who stood with unbroken ranks to insurgent Republicans who setting ciple above party united with the d crats for the preservation of the 1 house in a representative capacity. The Speaker heretofore has had organization of the entire machinery ( house, with leave to make or unmak( subordinates at will. Owing to his r bership ex-oflieio on the committee rules, it was within his power to let i keep out just such legislation as lie des Members, except for a few favorites helped hold the machine together, powerless, and legislation was reduce the will of one man. It is readily understood that this not only a most undesirable, but a i dangerous state of things. It praetii eliminated the representation and thrc him the people. It opened the doc trust influences and corporate favorit Faster than any other one thing, it has ed our trend toward an oligarchy. Now let no one think that Uncle Joe devil, with hoofs and horns. He is sii a very Arm and very pieasant old ge man, who fully appreciated the power rendered from time to time into his ha and who like James the Second of Engl rather than voluntarily surrender power will be forced to abdicate. Speaker Cannon is not solely resp< ble for unsatisfactory conditions in House of Representatives. There 1 Czars before his day, for instance I The rules of the house have been sue to tend toward the creation of Czars, the democrats and the few republican surgents who accomplished the overtl of one man's power in the house des the everlasting thanks of all our citis That was a good day's work for the pe< and a bad day's work for corporate ii ests. Tried The Cotton Seed Meal. Mr. Wm. Beard being a man of an quiring nature and having read about new departure in the bread line?co seed meal bread, determined to try s of it as an experiment. He secured the meal from the Oil and mixed It as per directions and b; it into bread. His entire family tried new bread. Some of them with the r< that it did agree so well with them. Beard himself says that, the bread very good, being something similar to old time crackling bread. Now if Mr, Beard has discovered a way to make crackilng bread his for is assured, for between ambrosia crackling bread the angels food shows weaker points, and the odds go over h food, and dragoon to the side of the * old crackling. Crackling bread and sweet milk! Ad menu in the garden showed no such cacy. Lamb's Bo bo and Hoti had nol begun to burn down pig pen6 in orde produce that new culinary marvel?cr ling. And, now, if Mr. Beard has opened new Avenue to that royal dish the pi owes him a note of thanks. Fashion Notes for 1910. False hair from 1 Lombardy peas and Southern Europe is all the go.
