CANNON AND CANNONISM CONTINUE In the struggle just ended in the house against Cannonism the republican insurgents, when the final test came, proved their insincerity, or at least their lack of courage. It was only by overthrowing Cannon that “Cannonism" in the present congress could be wipe dout. And yet when the democrats had shown that, with the aid of the insurgents, they had power to overthrow Cannon completely by ousting him from the speakership, all of the insurgents but nine refused to join them. The other insurgents voted to keep Cannon in the speakership. In this way Cannonism was "left on the job,” so to speak. It Is to the credit of the democratic members that they voted to a man to depose Cannon. If all of the so-called republican insurgents had voted with them the country would have seen the end of Cannonism. But only nine had the courage to do it. Crumpacker and Barnard, the only two republican congressmen from Indiana, voted to keep Cannon in the speaker’s chair. It should be borne in mind that the resolution to oust Cannon was offered by Burleson, a democratic congressman; that every democratic member supported the resolution; that only nine insurgents voted for it; that all of the other insurgents voted against it and for Cannon; and that in this way, over the protest of the democrats, both Cannon and Cannonism wil continue to dominate congress. - . ■ 1 .... j-. .

WAS PUT IN TODAY At the Reservoir —If Service is Bad Notify the Local__ Office. B. H. Danforth of the Fort Wayne branch of the Indiana Lighting company is here today and our people will be glad to learn that his visit here probably means a reduction in the gas bill hereafter. He has installed in the gas reservoir here what is known as a Connelly Automatic governor, which regulates the amount of gas which flows into the mains. This was done for a double purpose, one of which is that the gas pressure here has been too high and this causes a leakage along the lines to the loss of the company. It also forces too much gas through the mixers and makes the gas bills higher than they should otherwise be. At first this may cause a slight inconvenience among the users of gas, as in some few cases the gas may be too low, but this can easily be regulated and if you find such a case, you should at once notify the gas office here, who will see that this is remedied. The Indiana Lighting company is doing all that they can to furnish the people here gas at as low a cost as possible. o— ■ - FOUND —Brindle bull dog pup.
