“UNCLE JOE’S” ODD POSITION.
Uncle Joe Cannon may occupy an anomalous position in the
coming congress. He may be known as “the member without
a committee.”
Owing to the fact that Uuncle Joe is'bumping around 80
years of age (he was 79 on May 7 last) his friends are going to
insist that he shall not take service on any committees, thus in
curring the hard’grind of committee drudgery, but shall reserve
his energies for action on the floor and thus become a sort of
congressman-at-large.
Whether Uncle Joe can be made to stand hitched to this
program remains to be seen, but it is considered not unlikely
that in the end the views of his friends may prevail. His long
committee service in congress was on the committee on appro
priations, which is one of the hardest-worked of committees.
Uncle Joe was first elected to the 43d congress and served con
tinously to the 51st. He was defeated for re-election to the 52d,
but when he came back in the 53d Speaker Reed jumped him
over the head of David B. Henderson of Iowa and made him
chairman of the appropriations committee. Henderson never
forgave Reed for this, alhough Reed made Henderson chairman
of the important committee on the judiciary. Now when Can
non “comes back” tin* second time he finds the democrats in
power and there is no chance, of course, of him being restored
to the chairmanship of the appropriations committee. The
ranking republican member of the committee is Frederick H.
Gillett of Massachusetts, and there is no visible indication that
Gillet intends to step aside with an Alphonse-like wave of the
hand and the cherry invitation, “After you, my dear Uncle
Joe.”
So the outlook is that if Uncle Joe should go back on the
appropriations committee he would become a tail-ender on the
minority side, which would'mean oodles of work and no particu
lar glory.
Cannon’s friends say that he has no business on any com
mittee—that he ought to leave hard committee work to the
younger bloods and perform his service to the country by tak
ing part in the floor debates, which is as easy as it is agreeable
to him. He has a very comprehensive general knowledge of
the workings of the governmenat and nothing pleases him more
than to participate in a rough and tumble floor fight. Among
those who will urge Mr. Cannon to abstain from committee
work is his secretary and close personal friend, L. White
Busbev.
.-----—
The threatening weather of the past day or two seems to
indicate that we are due for a storm.
Bethlehem Steel’s annual profits are being estimated at
$30,000,000, again showing us that war is a glorious circum
stance.
Carranza is in his glory now—writing a manifesto. A
Mexican loves nothing better than billowy language from his
own pen.
Something like $100,000,000 is on its way from England
to New York, to be added to a gold surplus whose glimmer is
beginning to hurt Uncle Sam’s eyes.
It is said to have cost England $67,000,000 to take those'
little German possessions in South Africa. Real estate men
should perk up. Land is selling high.
()ne of the pastimes of the silly season is the construction
of an imaginary munitons trust, to be knocked down, trampled
and spat upon at the next session of congress.
The state of' Pennsylvania evidently is still living ’long
about 1835. The Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph employs
half a column in denying that there is such a serpent as the hoop
snake.
_
The solicitor of the Department of Commerce is said' to
have found a defect in the seamen’s law passed by the last con
gress. Any old tub owner can point out a dozen more, more
serious.
The story of modern war, with its digging in its wire en
tanglements, its machine guns, bombs and gases,'was told when
the British commander deemed it worth while to tell the world
of advance along a 1,200-yard front.
Congressman Taggert proposes a great war munitions
depot in Kansas City, and believes such depots should be placed
at many interior points. Here are magnificent pork-barrel op
portunities. The war department has been endeavoring to
close army posts and' the navy department has been working to
ward the elimination of unnecessary navy yards. Congressmen
have witnessed the slipping away of old-time fodder with great
alarm. Taggert’s idea is likely to be received with acclaim in
congressional halls. The war scare will make the getting good.
