A cry for copies of tho rules of tho house of representatives comes out from Kansas, It is an indication, If ono were needed, that Speaker Cannon and tho rules will bo tho Isau In tho Kansas congressional clectlcnB uesfc, ftllLL , .. ,a - "They seem to think sa d a 5- ular" roprecsntatlve, "that thoy have talked long enough on tho rules 1 wlthqut knowing anything about them." 1 11 t t-- 11a wie j uvuiuiu j ui .i-vi wwii instudy of the rules there are per Ilous days ahead for congressional candidates. It Is a fact that tho House rules are as complicated as Is1' tho statuto iaw, and that not more! than ten per cent of the member- shin of tho house are familiar wlthi a t,,rtiM tno to . . r . ... .. Dook could load up witu quesuons lUut uu.u vu uv-v " ! self. In fact, the speaker has an ex- ii!.i ..t J MTTmaI. Taa" Mm. pert at his elbow when he presides, 1 to post him regarding knottv ques tions that may arise during tho pro ceedings. A speaker, like a judge, places great weight on tho decisions of his predecessors. Rulings made! by speakers of the houso since the flrst congress have been preserved In aset of largo volumes and quota tions might be useful In confusing speakers because tho amplo volumes Contains decisions on all sides of all questions. Kansas may become tech nical, but in the rest of tho country, wliore Cannonlsm becomes an issue the fight will be waged on tho speak er and whqther wlso uso is mado of that power. "A CORNER IN WHEAT," STR0NG PICT0RIAL EDITORIAL At tho Savoy last night was shown n remarkable film, entitled, "A Cor ner in Wheat." This is not a picture drama, although it is presented with drnmntie force. It is an argument, nu editorial, a thesis on a vital sub ject of deep interest to all. Tho thame is the rising cost of living, the inability of the masses to meet the increase and tho part played by tho speculator in bringing about this un fortunate condition. No orator, no editorial writer, no essayist could so strongly nnd effectively present the thoughts that aro conveyed in this! tfoture. It opens up n new era for1 jnofion pictnro subjects. No ono j iiould miss seeing this pictorial ar gument. The balance of tho program was B Ifti;the, tistinl high standard and kept tho houso in convulsions of laughter. Tho Bamo program will bo shown tonight. Doors open nt 7 p. m. One dime. Tho Savoy. MINISTER IS ARRESTED FOR WIFE DESERTION PIQUA, 0., Jan. 11. A warrant is ojjt for the nrrest of Rev. Elmer E.
