Oat the Cams ef Mtataat la it report mi wa THE HOUSE COMMITTEES. Is Speaker Cannon devoting some ef his leisure to the question of . the committees of the "house? Only . the ways and means committee, the committee on rules and the committee on mileage have been named. As the tariff alone was to be considered at this session, the speaker decided., not to hurry in the matter of the other committees. He may announce their membership near the close of . this session or at the beginning of the regular session In December. This time, as Is known, the speaker Is reverting to the old custom of assignments. Me will decide as to both the majority and th minority memberships of all the committees. Democrats and republicans alike will confer with him by his invitation as to tneir wisnes. . During the minority leadership of Mr. Williams he had practically the assignment of the democrats to their committee places. -Not only were his relations with the speaker pleasant personally,' but he was not advocating the taking of the power of assignments away from the speaker and putting It into commission. In the office of speaker he would " have done unto Mr. Cannon what Mr, Cannon was doing unto him. It is different In the case of Mr, Clark. As he favors taking the power of assignment away from the speaker, why 'Should the speer bestow that power so far as the minority Is concerned upon him? If the one man power leads to tyranny In the case of the .: speaker and that is Mr. Clark's contention why not "In the case : of the leadership of the - minority? Mr. Cannon . is doing unto Mr. Clark as Mr. Clark, through a commission, would do unto him. But will the democrats at least the great ; majority of them accept Mr. Cannon's assignments unless vised by Mr. Clark? Will they Insist upon bestowing upon their leader aa respects themselves the power he would withdraw from the speaker? It Is suggested , that they may. If they should, it will provoke some very pretty debate, especially if Mr. Clark should accept their deference and liberally : blue . pencil Mr. Cannon's list. A member must serve as assigned unless excused by the house; and a democrat asking to be excused, on the ground that Mr, Clark, and not a democratic commission, did not approve of the speaker's choice, would give himself and his leader completely away. We are not likely to see this power of the speaker ever materially abridged. There must be a head to things, and where there is responsibility there must be authority. That is elementary; and Mr. Clark, or any other democrat, in .the speaker's chair would desire to be, and insist on being much more than a presiding officer Interpreting rules of procedure.

In Conclusion

1 When we entered this campaign, if you will remember, we made the point that a considerable number of the most representative party men were agreed on the Idea that the party should nominate a man who should be acceptable to all the party and at the same time a creditable candidate for the men of the party to support a man who would make a good mayor. - . , . We, as many others did not want to see Zimmerman get the nomination because it mesne a split in the party when the ' time comes , for the election. And we said at the same time . that this also applied to Bennett Gordon. Both men have from various reasons, too much antagonism We said that Mr, Deuker did not have the strength to unite the party. And the recent withdrawal of his candidacy has confirmed our judgment. ',, - It is no need to repeat what every one in the town knows about Dr. Zimmerman he is the same as he always has been and makes no pretense of being otherwise. It is simply a Question as to whether the town wants to go back to that sort Of thing. It will not be that the town does not remember it will be that the town, as a town, does not care. And we have made the point that Bennett Gordon's opposition came from facts, some ot which we have proved and some of which we do not have to prove. .- . . . '.'',' These things are that he Is not a republican, that he has not been loyal to his party; that bis word is not good; that the thincs which he promised in this campaign were for the most part fictitious and mere buncombe; that he is a dangerous man to have in office, with his erratic and variable movements, especially when coupled with so powerful, an agent as his newspaper, if elected mayor. Now that his own erratic personality has led to his own downfall, it is not necessary to dwell on this nor on his attacks on many things which have not merited his abuse. We have therefore felt that a real republican who would be stable and fair to all, and who-would devote all his time and energies to being mayor and whom republicans would unite on in the feeling that such a man would not be a reproach to the town and the party such was the man whom we could logically and sincerely support. If Gordon and Zimmerman are undesirable, why not unite on Harris and nominate him? This has been our line of argument and this we have proved where proof has been necessary. These are our reasons and these are the points which we have emphasized. That today many people think as we do and are intending to vote upon these ideas which they have thought out for themselves is all the vindication we need. And. having presented our case we have confidence in the wisdom of the thinking men for 'we believe that they will decide this' next nominating election. - . - -

The

With this issue we close the campaign as far as the paper is concerned.' If what wo have had to say before has not had any. influence, the little that we could add in one issue would not change the case. We have been told on good authority that we might expect the Item to get out a special edition with much hurrah, to prove that J. Bennett Gordon is still in the race. We do not need to, and any and all campaign stories which are saved for the-direct purpose of casting mud on the good name of any candidate in a special edition mark them for what they are things' which cannot be said in the open without being branded. .We have no fear that the people will fall an easy prey to such an obvious method of cheap sensationalism. " What has been said, if it has weight, will be remembered, and we can truthfully say to the public that there are many things which might be said which we have left out, thinking it better to rest our case on matters which have no tinge of mud-slinglng. This issue marks the end of our part in the campaign and any stories that are set afloat from now on will be things that cannot be said in the open.

So Far as We Are Concerned We end this campaign as far as this paper is concerned with no display of black ink and no attempt to make a sensational finish. We make no attempt to influence voters by false report or campaign rumors. We cannot afford to throw away the good name of this paper by tactics calculated to serve a temporary end, for we . must continue after this primary is forgotten. The purpose of our entrance into this matter of the primary was to work for what we considered and still consider the good of the party and the good of the town. And to do this it has been our policy not to put forward our opinions, but to give reasons and evidence so that men might form their own views of the matter. To do this we have had to talk of things which otherwise were better left in the background of the past and the present. If we haVe been personal in our comment and our evidence it must also be remembered that we have dealt with men. And to talk of men, means to talk of their characters and their deeds and misdeeds. And in this fight (If we'must call it such) we come out feeling that we have fought fairly and for a good cause we feel that if we have helped in the least to throw a little light on the situation we have succeeded. We do not think it necessary to say more than that we have a reputation which is too valuable to endanger by anything which has not on its face the stamp of sincerity and honesty. .. We feel confident that with the evidence that we have presented and what is already known by the people of this town In regard to the candidates that there are enough men who think as 'we do, to nominate a candidate who will be acceptable to all the party and who will be a mayor of whom no citizen shall feel ashamed, for the next four years. Our fate does not depend on the result of. this primary for we are looking to the future which we will have to deal with when this primary is simply a matter of record. Our fate remains with, the people we have talked to through these columns in as much as they consider what we have said has been of worth in this matter. We feel confident thai we come out of this affair with success and undishonored.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near . , . .Night Colleges. ' -, From the New York World. The trustees of the City College have re solved to establish next fall a night college for bright boys who must work in the daytime for a living. It is an admirable innovation. The oldfashioned American college course was laid out upon tho analogy of seven years spent in learning a trade. The student was four years apprenticed to learning to become a bachelor. Three years more he practiced what he had learned,; like a journeyman in a trade, and then he was a fully fledged master , ot. arts . "in course." His four years in college allowed generous vacations to teach in winter and work in the hayfield in summer. Under the modern point system, with the aid of summer sessions, any bright boy can complete a college course in three years. One year more In residence gives him a master's degree. In a night college a student can easily in four years, by reciting two hours every evening for forty-six weeks, present the equivalent of the " mintmum college requirement By recit ing three hours each night except Saturday the minimum - college re quirements could be met within the college terms; or with night summer sessions in three years. Our Navy. From the Hartford Couraat. We

V notice here . and there critical and rather querulous comment on the fact that the first air to the Americans in Asia Minor and the ill-starred native Christans has been given by European warships exclusively. "It is certainly unfortunate for our prestige," remarks one journal, "that no United States warship is at hand. This absence of any representative of our navy from coasts where its services may be urgently required is due to the virtual abolition of what was called for many years the European station.'" In those years we had a great mercantile marine; its sails in the consecrated phrase whitened all seas. In those years we did not have the Panama undertaking on our hands, or Hawaii, or the Philippines. At present United States warships are more useful actually and potentially in home waters and in Asiatic waters than in European waters. Smokestack Waste. ' From the Jersey City Evening.

men's clubs, held a meeting at the library and decided to make an appeal to the wives and mothers of Rlcamsad to use their influence in defeating Dr. W, W. Zimmerman in his candidacy for the republican mayoralty nomination; and to use their Influence in securing the nomination of a suitable candidate. The following comasnaicatien was drafted aad given to the press for publication today: - Four years ago this fall the women of Richmond, Incensed past endurance by the appalling conditions existing la their city, sent the following message to every house In It: . ".!-. :: - :::'-.. "The Women's League of Richmond, a aon-partlsan body, organised in the interest of civic purity, earnestly desires to cell ta your attention certain statements in the report of the Grand Jury ef last August. This grand jury, after finding that Dr. Zimmerman, while mayor of the city, had issued in his professional capacity, certificates of good health to the inmates of a disreputable house in the city, makes the fnllowlsf comment: "The jury cannot understand, however, the action of Dr. Zimmerman In this matter, for until the recent maaJcipal code was enacted, as mayor of the city. Dr. Zimmerman likewise had judicial powers and presided at police court, and his position as such mayor and police judge, certainly required him to use every effort to stamp out misdemeanor and to cause the arrest of any person committing any misdemeanor within bis observation., which every Inmate examined by him was doing, as he well knew. The dual position in which hshas stood has extended over a period' of several years, aad certainly no defense can be given oa the ground that It was purely a professional matter." "The women of this city, feeling that the candidacy of a man who could do this thing was a disgrace to the city and an insult to every decent woman in it, held on Tuesday last a mass meeting of protest, which was attended by 1,200 women of all parties and creeds, m "At this meeting the following resolutions were- unanimously adopted: ' "Resolved, That the issue ta the present municipal campaign, is not whether there1 shall be elected as mayor of this city a republican or a dem- ' oerat. but whether vice In Its dangeroua forms shall be protected or suppressed. X i ' "Resolved, That our present mayor has by his dealings with and recognition of a most revolting traffic, which he was by law bound to suppress .shown himself faithless to his trust, and unworthy of re-election, "Resolved, That we resent this attack on the purity of our homes snd the morality of our sons snd dsughters, and Individually pledge ourselves to do all In our power to prevent the election of the man capable of 'making ft. Their appeal was heeded -Zimmerman was defeated. The same problem, but more serious than before, confronts us now. The Metropolitan police law has been repealed and the mayor is once more the city judge. It lies in his hands to determine whether violators of the law shall be punished or go free; whether vice shall regain its hold on this community. ' ... . t -,.,. '; - -.- And Dr. Zimmerman is again a candidate for mayor. He has not 1 changed he has not even pretended to reform, he stands for a wide open town.:".;. . I; I ; I. ''; . We can not advfce you which of the other candidates will make the best mayor that is a matter for you to decide. But we can earnestly entreat you not to deliver the city over to Zimmerman, and In the face of this impending danger, to sink all differences and unite on the man best able to defeat him, even though he may not be your personal choice. Will you not save us from the disgrace and danger of having for mayor a man who could do what this nun has done? . , MRS. JAMES W. MORRISON, PresidenL MRS. W. K. BRADBURY,.

In fact, that was exactly what might have been expected. . No large enterprise really seems under way these days until it has a Japanese spy lurking somewhere near. Both contractors ; and workingmen have grown so accustomed to his presence that they grow quite peevish when he is absent, and the enterprise naturally tends to suffer in consequence. If you see a lot of workingmen and foremen dallying discontentedly at their work and making small progress, it is, ten to one. because the Japanese spy has overslept himself and thus disarranged the whole business.;. ,: .

Illinois Farmer Starves Setf To Retain Mastery of Family

Hoopeston, UL. May 1. Declaring that before he will bend ta a woman's will John Cooke, wealthy . farmer ot Hoopeston. Is deliberately starving himself to death in the county jail, while unlimited sums of money await to make his bond securing him against disturbing the peace of his wife. For more than a week the planter has not tasted food. Efforts of physicians, preachers and force of legal authority have alike been unavailing when it came to forcing nourishment between the lips of the man who has sworn to die rather than mile a comparatively small bond. , For many years Cooke resided In this county. He is a married man and supposedly the head of a happy family. But he was known to be a man with a will. He would brook no au GREAT EST U AVAL IIATIOHS OF WORLD Marine Power of Many Nations According to Latest Statistics. TWENTY SHIPS LAST YEAR GERMAN SHIP YARDS TURNED OUT MORE; FIGHTERS THAN ENGLAND WITH UNITED STATES A CLOSE SECOND. New York, May 1. -In the year which has ust come to an end some 260.000 tops of warships of different classes have been launched; to be exact, $259,410 tons. This displacement is represented by twenty ships, thus distributed: Ten battleships, 174,400 tens; one coast defense battleship, 3.6S0 tons: firs armored cruisers, 58,700 tons; four protected cruisers, 12,650 tons. The nations which have launched these vessels number nine, aa follows:- , Germany Four battleships. Nassau, Westfalen, Rheioland and Posen of 18,000 tons each; one armored cruis er, Blucher, of 15,000 tons; two pro tected cruisers, Emden, 3,600 tons and Kolberg. 4.300 tons; total, 94,900 tons. ' England Two battleships. Col lingwood and St. Vincent, ot 21.000 tons each; one protected cruiser, Boadlcea, 3,400 tons; total, 45.500 tons.'' Austria One battleship; Erserhog-Frans-Ferdlnand. 14,600, tons. Brasil -One battleship, Minss-Ger aea. 20.000 tons. Denmark One 4oast defense battleship. Peder-Skjam. 3.680 tons. United Staterof America Two battleships. Michigan and South Caro lina, 17.900 tons each; total. 35,800 tons. France One armored cruiser, Wel ti eck-Rousseau, 14.000 tons. Italy Three armored cruisers. Am alfl, 10,100 tons; San Georgio and Ban Marco, 9.800 tons each; total. 29.700 tons. , Japan One protected cruiser, i Mayami, 1.350 tons. ' Germany Leads. . In this list it will be seen that Germany, is an easy first, having launched considerably more than double the tonnage that England has the first occasion on which the German shipyards have turned out more than the English. A sign of the times Is an article in the Deutsche Revue by Vice Admiral - Edgard too Ahlefeld. the well-known naval critic and publi cist, who declares that England naval superiority is merely numerical and by no means so formidable as it appears on pepar; that aforetimes her and a commission as colonel in the Imperial army and orders aa special detail officer on a secret mission concealed about his person. After several days of this he would move in much closer, taking copious notes all the time, and looking as mysterious as he possibly could. If he escaped. detection, he would then, in all probability, get a job as waiter in the hotel where the men ate their noonday meals. He would carefully listen to everything they had to say, occasionally delaying to pass a plate long enough to jot down any information that he might think worth sending the Miksdo. He would then gradually work up to sneaking over the ground t night, aad. finally, if all went well, he might occasionally go over and watch the steam shovels In the daytime. ; That's the wsy the spy would do it. : Of course, to the Occidental mind all this involves a tremendous waste of time. But the Occidental mind Is fortunately, or unfortunately, Ignorant ot the powerful Influence of castiron Oriental etiquette. The Japanese hare their own system of getting information, handed down from the days of the earliest shoguns, and they are go ing to adhere to it until they see a good reason for changing to our own method.

It was a case ot an Irresistible force meeting an immovable body. When the clash came It was a hmd one. . It wss so loud that the wife went to the county seat and swore out a peace warrant. When the officers served the paper the farmer refused to take cognisance of its mandates, preferring to go to prison.

The Flatten verein and Its organ Ueberall combat this view of the matter most strenuously, insisting upon rspid construction being the note of the German Navy; in this protest the Flottenvereln is la the right, aa the retardation of construction of monster battleships leads to increased expense, and attempts. at structural alteration.
