REVISiOH OF THE RIIIK K AftlM

UVbbV iw;

This Will Take Place Evcnj If Cannon Is Elected the f Speaker. 1 : ' " y FIGHTING IS DESPERATE

UNCLE JOE AND HIS LIEOTENi ANTS ARE MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO WIN OVER THE NEW HOUSE MEMBERS. . , " . ' t ;. Washington. March 13.Radical revision of the house rules, such as will deprive the speaker of the right to appoint committees and in other directions to so reduce his power that he can ecercise no control over house action, is thought to be assured, even If Cannon la re-elected to the speakership.

All the insurgents-agree that if Canaan can be deprived ot his power for vtf, that his mere- occupancy of the presiding officer's chair In the house :Ss a matter of minor detail.- So, while 'there Is to be an effort to beat Can-

sen in the election, the' Insurgents will fee satisfied with failure if they succeed in amending the rules in accordance with their present plans.

They have found too, that exit of

thirty men who will vote to' amend - - a 'k

the rules and take yfcway from the peaker his present autocratic power,

ibut fifteen of them are prepared to

vote- against his re-election. t Democrat Divided. ' In addition, there is talk of defec

tion among the democrats. The state

ment, is made that the Cannon men

will induce some democrats to remain

away from , the session and thus re duce tbe strength of the opposition.

. The democrats can always be counted upon to do the .wrong .thing, and

tbe rumors, while possibly false, are nevertheless, received with, . general

Credence. ' Cannon and his followers are fight

: tng desperately to win over the new

members. ; Some of them have already; surrend

t tlican caucus is to be held

It take place in the home of Rep

resentative McKinley, of Illinois.

McKinley is several times a million

aire, and his entertainments are noted

Jor the freedom with which the wine

flows. Only new members are invit

-ad. But the speaker and his principal - .lieutenants are to be present and it

iwlll be an agile beginner who escapes

JHieir efforts. -

The program is to include promises,

threats and wine. . The wine Is ex

pected to increase the effect of both

.the threats and the promises. Cannen Ready to 'Buy.' ' Indicating the . lengths to which Can

ana la prepemd to go to win his fight

it la declared that Davidson, of Win-

- coasts, has made the chairmanship of the rivers and harbors committee the 'price of hi support and Cannon is

eoasiaorlng its payment. ' '

r Of the other members of the Wis

consin delegation, five of them. Nel

ton, Carey, Lenroot. Copp and Cooper axe pledged to vote against Cannon's

reflection.

Other western delegations are sitni

larly divided so that the number of J insurgents in the coming .house

promises to exceed by not less than ten the number m the last. To defeat Cannon for the speakership is still a

possibility, although fow ot the insur

Bents believe It will be done.

But the amendment of the rules so

as to make him hereafter but the pre

siding officer, and not the dictator of

legislation,. Is regarded as within easy

reaching distance.

There is fear that possibly the pres

ident may interfere in behalf of Can

jnon, and it is known that the Cannon men have been promising Mr. Taft

Cannon's acquiescence in any legisla

tive plan the administration' may for

mulate, if Cannon is aided.

AH the Indications are that more than "a sufficient number to combine with the democrats to carry through a rules revision . program will remain

steadfast to their promises, regardless

of what Cannon and his forces may

dO. .','

As we read the market reports, we

note that there is a strong demand for farm chunks; and at the farm sales the farmers bid high-for anything that

will pull a plow. In some cases, at

least, the animal under the hammer

has little else to commend It to the purchaser. - This activity of the farm

er buyer is in evidence every year as

the plowing season approaches and In

many instances, prices out of propcT-

tion to the ' worth of tbe animal are

paid.

That the above statement is true. Is

a fact, to be regretted. In. the first place, the farmer should be a seller

instead of a buyer and when, necessi

ty compells him to purchase a horse.

he should demand a higher class animal.

Scarcity Is Noticed. As we look over the offering at a

regular auction in the city market, the mass of heterogeneous an i mala and tbe scarcity of even fairly good ones is very noticeable. These animals were all produced on the farm and1 In many

MS do not sell for enough to pay

the stud fee. The fact that the good

ones always bring a fair price makes

it all the more strange that farmers

have not more generally sought to supply the market demands.

Recently a successful city business

man said that he hoped some day to get back to tbe farm- and that when he did, even the dog would be .a well bred one so that he might find sale for the puppies, thereby adding to his income. How much more important

than that the mares should be good

ones, and that they be bred regularly.

To the man who has the money to

spare and who has a liking for a

8 peed horse, we have nothing to say. In fact we want to buy a driver of

him from time to time. Also for him who has the necessary' training for

the successful breeding of carriage

horses, there is a wide field for hid activities. But for the average farmer, the Jiine-out-ten man. the draft horse will proVe to be the most sat-

T. A . COLEMAN TELLS OF FARMER AND HIS HORSE

isfactory both as a worker and as a brood animal. . As. to Farm Labor. With the Increasing scarcity and high price of competant farm laborers, it behoves us to use the labor, to the best advantage.- This means the use of farm tools of large capacity and the successful use of such implements depends upon having strong teams. ;Then what is more calculated to keep the boy on the farm than for him to care for and work a well mated pair whose harness trimmings glisten in the Bun as they prance along drawing just a little bigger load than the neighbor's team can pull. I think I, too, would have studied law if I had been compelled to work a horse with a mule having ropes for lines. Of course it would be better if we could start with pure bred mares but as there are not enough to go around, it will be necessary for the most of us to be content with grades. In selecting mares have them of the breed

that you fancy most but be sure that they have size, bone and finish and are of a good disposition. They should not weigh less than sixteen hundred pounds and when mated with a ton horse, will produce a colt that will be a good seller when matured. Age of Specialists. This is an age of specialists and every farm would be, the better off for having high class draft mares for the farm work and breeding purposes

and a light harness horse for use to the buggy. A spin behind a percheron, general purpose or work plug is a spin in name only. If we are to !ut the business of farming on the plane that it rightly belongs, it behoves us to apply to it the business principals that have contributed to the success of other commercial lines. To the old gentleman's cure for hard times: "Always have something to sell." I would add: Let that something be what the people want and have it in the pink of condition. T. A. COLEMAN.

PASSING Of NEGRO

MARKED BY RULING

Believed That Taft's Action

Marks New Era for Republiean Party.

PLAY TO SOUTHERN WHITES

PRESIDENT HAS LEARNED THAT

COLORED OFFICE HOLDER NO MORE WELCOME IN NORTH THAN IN SOUTH.

LONG FELT WANT.

By 8hldon S. Cline. Washington', D. C, March. 13. If the

report that, Mr. Taft has determined

not to appoint negroes to offices In

communities where such appointments

would, be In opposition to public sen

timent, be correct, it marks a new era in the relations of the republican- par

ty to the race which it brought out of servitude. It also, should Mr, Taft not weaken in his reported determina

tion, marks the practical passing of

the negro from the business of holding federal office. Must Be Consistent. The object of Mr. Taffs reported program, of course, is that negro office holders should not be forced on the people of the South, but if the president elect Is to be consistent he cannot stop the program there. It would be manifestly unfair to save the South from unwelcome officials and force them' on the North-, and Mr. Taft will find that negroes In high fedv eral offices are no . more welcome North .than South. If any- one doubts that this is true. let a negro be named for postmaster at Boston or collector of the port of New York, and it , will not require long to demonstrate that raciai prejudice is not sectional n the United States. All honest thinkers admit that the race problem is the most serious and most complicated one with which the United States has to deaA There Is no man sufficiently ; wise to demonstrate In advance of trial that' the announced policy of Mr. Taft Is wise or that It is unwise.. But it certainly "closes the door of hope" to the negro so far as concerns the holding of public office. For Race's Future. According to those who profess to know, the motives with which the President is animated, Mr. Taft has become convinced that - the negro must sacrifice the present for the future of the race. The argument is ttiat so long as the negro, in face of the prejudice against him, seeks to be and is forced upon unwilling communities in high official capacity just so kmg will the prejudice against him continue and Increase. Mr. Taft is represented as beHeving that if the negro removes, himself, or is removed as an unwelcome, intruded in the higher walks, the time wiM not be kmg in coming when those negroes who have demonstrated their fitness for higher things may hold political office and responsible positions in private life without arousing antagonism. ; According to this theory, the great rottatake has been in attempting to force the negro upward as the protege of a particular political party Instead of allowing his ascent to be a natural growth. Feeling secure is, the backing

of the republican party, tbe ignorant

of the race, have often been offenstverjr aggressive, and natural race antipathy has developed into" downright rare antagonism.

A Pisa For a Graduated Standard of Misconduct.-'.;'..;! What Is really wanted at tbe present time is a standard of misconduct. We are constantly doing things in doubt, as If we hadn't a right to do them. Tbe confusion 'caused by people doing things which in their circumstances we had no right to expect is tbe principal cause of our troubles. It ought to be definitely settled, for example, that any millionaire who has, say, over a hundred millions will thereafter lead an honest life. If he has only fifty, millions his life should be semi-honest, and if he has only a paltry ten millions then it ought to be conceded that he can loot a few railroads or so until he gets on his feet. Up to, say, ten thousand a year no man can afford to be dishonest. He ought to get up iu the cars and give his seat to women under thirty-five at least, and. of course be will not take the. chance of robbing any safe. From ten thousand up to a hundred thousand he can engage in little dishonest fliers by making one of a pool or "putting through a land deal or so for variety. When he gets fifty millions or more together, however, every man ought to ask himself plainly the question whether from now on he ought not to be a philanthropist. Doesn't he owe this to his fellow men? Life.

CHOOSING A VOCATION. Follow Common Sonoo and Conscience and Do Your Boat. It is very certain that no man is fit for everything, bat it is almost as certain, too, that there is scarce any one

man who is not fit for something,

which something nature plainly points out to him by giving him a tendency and propensity to it.

I look upon common sense to be to

the mind what conscience Is to the heart the faithful and constant moni

tor of what Is right or wrong. And I

am convinced that no man commits either a crime or a folly but against

the manifest aad sensible represents tions of the one or the other.

Every man finds in himself, either from nature or education for they are hard to distinguish a peculiar bent

and disposition to some particular

character, and his struggling against

It Is the fruitless and endless labor of Sisyphus. Let him follow and cultivate that vocation; he will succeed in it aad be considerable la one way at

least, whereas if he departs from it he

will at best be Inconsiderable, probably rid Jealous. Lord Chesterfield.

The Oyster Crab.

Some of the most remarkable crabs la the wsrJd live at the expense ot other animals. They are crustacean

tramps and have no shams in sustain

tng existence at other animals' cost.

One of these marine tramps te a little feUow that makes its home with tbe living oyster. la fact. It dwells in the oyster's shell and feeds on whatever Is left over from the mollusk's dinners. Oddly enough, however. It is only tbe

female that has this habit of "board lag out" The male crab has no per-

maneat home, bat spends its time swimming about at the surface of the

water. Oyster crabs sometimes are

big enough to have am arm stretch of an Inch. Epicures consider them very

good to eat: Sometimes they are cook

ed separately, and occasionally they

are pickled. Crabs of nearly allied species, somewhat bigger, are found fin the shells of mussels and scallops. In this ease, again, only the female Is a

Cabby Gets An Extra Fare For the Saloon Men's Trained Parrot

Chicago, March 13. Two jolly dry!

land mariners, , a loquacious parrot

and the pilot of a going vehicle took

part in a farce yesterday in the Harrison street court, entitled, "Two Men, Two Buns and a Bird."

Juat as Wednesdsv waa aoinr off

duty and Thursday was starting in Edwin Shells trom and John Mack, saloon keepers, stood on a down town corner and bailed a passing 'cab.

"Take us to the Logan monument"

said Mack to Patrick Donnelly, the

cabman. "We want to see If it's there

yet.'! '

At tbe monument the cab stopped. "Logan was a great man," the cab

man heard Mack say.

"He was that" agreed the other.

and then a third voice broke in.

"Who's going to buy a drink?" it

exclaimed. - .

"Three of them in the cab is it, and

one . with a blond voice," muttered

Donnelly to himself. "That will cost more than I thought at first"

"Drive on Michigan avenue until

you hit a j bump in the street," came the next order from the cab.

"Who's going to buy that drink?" came the--' third voice again from the cab. . - ' '. , ' Up Michigan avenue, down the same street and around the loop drove the three until chimneys began to belch in honor of the dawn. Donnelly stopped and asked for his money. "Seven dollars for the three of you," said Donnelly. "There are only two of us," said Mack. . " , "But I heard three voices." said Donnelly. "None of that funny business with me." Then the third voice was saown. It was a parrot la a cage. "Just taking It out for some fresh air," said Mack. "I won't pay for the bird." To the station they all adjourned. The saloon keepers would not pay the bird's fare. Donnelly was obdurate. But after three hours in a cell the two saloon keepers were in a different frame of mind. ' "Well pay,'; they said, leaving the court room. .

"Who's going to buy a drink?" exclaimed the parrot, waking up sudden
