Cannon Says No Delegate
for Alaska
Writing of Alaskan matters b< tore
' the next session of congress the Ore
gonian's Washington correspondent
says:
"The Alaska delegate problem is
very apt to be solved at the coming ses'
sion of congress - solved acoording U
the ideas of Speaker CanDon and those
other representatives and senators whc
visited the gi-eat territory this past
summer ? by the creation of a special
committee in both senate and house to
consider and pass upon all matters re
lating to Alaska. Certainly, as far as
the house is concerned, this plan can be
j adopted, for the creation of a new com
| mittee is easy, and the filling of that
j committee can be attended to entirely
! by the speaker. And in the senate it
j would not be difficult to bring about the
! creation of a committee on Alaska, for
i such a committee would be much more
j important than many of the existing
| committees, and majy senators would
i seek seats at its table.
] 'The Alaska delegate question is not
| a new one in congress. It has been
brought up every year in the past three
I congresses by Representative Cush
' man, of Washington. Cushman has
twice put a delegate bill -through the
j house, but it has been twice defeated in
the senate, not on a vote, but by being
smothered in committee. There is lit
tie reason ro believe that any different
fate would await a deiega'e bill in the
' next congress.
j "The senate committee on territories,
which now handles Alaskan legislation,
has been unfavorable to every delegate
plan, and especially antagonistic to the
Cushman bill. Had that committee
made a report, it would have substi
tuted an appointive tor an elective del
egate, and the two houses would then
have been deadlocked.
B 'But the Cannon plan, which is apt
: to be substituted for the Cushman idea,
j is believed to be more practical and
more beneficial. And it is apt to be
' more beneficial to Mr. Cushman him
: self, tor if a committee on Alaska is
: created, there is gocd prospect that ho
may be made its chairman, in recogni
tion of his persistent labors in behalf
of the territory and his extensive
knowledge of Alaska. After going
over a part of Alaska and seeing its
varied resources, getting an idea of its
great expanse, and some idea of the
way its population is scattered, they be
came thoroughly convinced that a dele
gate would not be the thing. In tho
? first place these men say it would be
impractical to ho'd an electiou in Alas
ka: secondly they say that no one dele
gate could intelligently and fairly rep
resent all parts of Alaska.
"There will be a protest against the
abandonment of the delej-ate bill, oi
course. Men who long to draw the
85000 salary, several thousands annual
ly in mileage and other allowances, will
be sore, and will enter a protest, but
personal considerations will not have
any weight with Speaker Cannoa."

She "Slopped Over"
(Original]
"Nick," said Cinderella as they sal
' hand In hand in the moonlight on the
farm porch, "every one Is talkin' about
Mr. Ketchem that's made such a sen
sation every wheres. He's a-comin' to
preach In the brick church at Four
Corners. They say he's powerful elo
quent."
"IX> they?"
"Yes. And when he preaches people
git so affected they weep."
Nick yawned.
"I'm goln' to the Corners to hear
1 him."
"What d' y' want to hear him for?"
' "What for? Why, Jlst think o' beln'
> under the spell o' the eloquence of a
i man that has moved thousands to tears.
How proud his wife must be of him,
If he has one. She must worship the
, ground he walks ou."
"I'm thinkin1 she'd better worship
God."
Cinderella looked offended. She with
' drew her hand aud said coldly:
"Sometimes I think I'm makin' a
mistake in uiarrylu' a farmer. I'd be
Jlst In my element as a minister's wife.
I should so love to see my husban'
movln' people to throw their burdens
on the Lord."
"If he didn't git more pay than most
of 'om he'd be throwlu' his burden on
you."
This practical view of the case was
repugnant to Cinderella. She turned
her back on her lover.
"I don't reckon, Cindy," ho went on.
"you'd make much of a wife for a
minister. My Idee of a minister's wife
is one that klu keep the wlmmen of
the congregation from pesterln* her
husband; a woman full of axle grease
that the hull church kin keep turnln'
ou. It's Jlst like politics. There's alius
theui that wants to keep the minister
In and them as wants to git him out.
The minister's wife should be so
smooth with the "outs' that they cau't
bear to do the Job. and so popular with
the '1ns' that they wou't let 'em do It
If they want to. You hain't got grease
enough lu y' for that."
Nick was a hard headed fellow with
a good deal of horse sense, while
Cindy was romantic and inclined to
gush. But Cindy was a good girl, aud
there was every prospect that, ouce
married, Nick could keep her from
"slopping over," as he called It.
The Rer. Mr. Ketchem was duly
announced to preach at the Four Cor
ners, and Nick, In order to humor his
betrothed, agreed to drive her over
to bear him, It being stipulated that
Nick need not go Inside the church, but
be at liberty to sit on the fence during
service and whittle. The day was fine
and the air bracing. Cindy was en
raptured with the beautiful Sunday
morning, which she said even without
church bells didn't seem like a com
mon week day. As the distance be
tween her and the church lessened she
grew excited at the near prospect of
coming under the spell of a man who
was accustomed to wring repentant
tears from sinners.
"Oh, Nick," she said, "I hope I won't
make a goose of myself."
"I hope you won't," said the matter
of fact Nick.
"You're not sympathetic," she re
plied tartly.
i "Not with 'sloppln' over.' "
' "I don't call repentance 'sloppln'
over.' "
"What y* been doln' to repent of?"
"Nothln"," she snapped.
"Well, then, what's the use of re
pen tin'?"
"You don't understand such things.
You ain't never been convicted."
"I hain't been Indicted yit"
At that moment the wagon went
over a rut and something cracked. The
result was that they were obliged to
walk the horse the rest of the way,
and when they reached the church the
sermon bad begun. Nick let Cindy out
at the door and then drove to the shed.
Nick was Joined on the fence by
several acquaintances, who whittled
and talked crops and stock. Through
them Nick learned something pertain
ing to whnt was going on In the
church that Interested him. He got
down off the fence and sauntered to
the door. Looking In, there In one of
the rear seats he saw Cindy. She wts
leaning forward, her eyes fairly glued
to the man In the pulpit. It was evi
dent that she was drinking In all he
said. As he wanned to his subject
she trembled with emotion. Nick
looked over the congregation and saw
that no one else was giving way to the
eloquence of the preacher, which was
very ordinary. We love our Ideals
for their transcendent qualities and
our realities for their faults. Nick
wished to save his beloved from mak
ing herself ridiculous. lie kept an
eye on her till the preacher brought
his flst down on the pulpit mildly,
when he saw her bury her face In her
handkerchief and burst Into tears.
Nick slipped behind her and whis
pered:
"Cindy, you're barkin' up the wrong
tree. That red headed young feller
hain't Mr. Ketchem. He's a student
from the seminary."
Cindy kept her head down and her
face burled In her handkerchief, but
not to hide the emotion Induced by a
paragon of oratory. She was hiding
her cLagrln at her mistake.
Duriug t'.ie drive home Cindy made
no move to converse, and Nick, re
specting her feelings, kept silent At
last her head sank on his shoulder and
be knew that for the future he had a
turb for her whenever she proposed to
"slop over."
But Nick never had any occasion to
use It Cindy had learned a lesson
not to be forgotten, and from that
time forward she was an adept at
moderating her transports.
