Those people and those papers who
are so fond of criticising Speaker Can

during these conrei-s presided ovei
by Joj ph G. Cannon as speaker. In
tfce Mh 'congress. whenMr. Cannon
first became speaker, the house of
representatives did a vast amount of
-work and compared most favorably
with all preceding congresses. The
"work of the 5Sth congrens was thus
characterized by President Roosevelt:
! feel that all good citizens who
have the welfare of America at heart
should appreciate the Immense1 amount
that has been accomplished by the
present congress, organized as It is.
and the urgent need of keeping thir,
organization In power. With Sir. Can
non as speakef, the house has accom
plished a literally phenomenal amount
of work. It has shown a courage,
good -n-e and patriotism such that
It would be a real and sVrtous mis
fortune fur the country to fail to rec
ognize." It fart. It was universally recog
nized that no congres In our history
accomplished so much that was valued
in legislation and for the best lntrest
of all the people as the 5!th congress
uniVr the leadership of Speaker Can
non. Anin, a vast amount of work
was accomplished during the first ses
sion of th 60th congress. In spits f
the. filibuster and continued opposi
tion and obstruction of the dfiooemtl'
menibi't-s compared with the avr-ng-:
aesslon. an unusual amount of busi
ness was perfected, and as computed
'with the R9th congress Itself, the re
sult was most favorable. Under no
speaker has so much work been 'done
or nave so Importunt laws been enact
ed as under the speakership of Joseph
O. Cannon. -
We rend of the great enthusiasm
.shown over the Irrigation project of
damming the flood wnlers of the
Orande Ronde ' rlv.r. This Is the
greatest move the people of the valley
have yet mnde;one thnt, when carried
out, will make land hitherto almost
worthless, advance In value beyond
expectations and prepare us to re
ceive the Incoming settler and offer
him well Irrigated land. While this
Orande Ronde Irrigation project Is the
topic of the day, It might be well to
bring to the people of Union and near
vicinity, that a dam placed at the
Meadows lo catch the overflow from
Cat rlne creek, would be of Immense
value to this community. If this dam
were placed at the Meadows, more
than enough water could be stored tip
to Irrigate this section of the valley.
The wealth necessary to build such a
dam. Is here, and It could be put on
the same basis us the proposed Orande
Ronde proposltlon.-rnlon fliout.

He might have added it Is Just ns

Lincoln said. "In the absence of for

platforms," and It may also be said
that in th- ;. .
platforms, the antecedents can noi

H'il!l as a i'.:trty leader, - ; ,s ,
; I parage hi .-nt of tb urlty of his
inoTives to say that the man who es
poused free silver In 1896. renewed
his advocacy in 1900 and later de
clared his belief In the public owner
ship of railroads, can not be regarded
as a safe man to whom to confide the
great power of president, merely be
cause those doctrines are omitted from
the present platform. A '
Tart Man of Ro-k.
The country, needs a man of rock,
based In sound conviction and funda
mental principle, in whose good Judg
ment In- any difficulty all may feel se
cure and such a man pre-eminently Is
William H. Taft.
It Is not Improbable that the next
president will appoint at least four
Judges of the supreme court. - Xo one
(ould command higher confidence
than the republican candidate for
president. Himself a Judge, learned
In the wisdom of the law, commanded
the respect and esteem of the entire
bar of the country without regard to
partisan division.
Taft Favors Direct Vote.
Some questions which are discussed
with no little vigor ian hordly be con--Idcied
ciniphlgn Issues. Bry.ln d
dies that United States senators Ik
hosen by direct vote. Taft also n
llnes to favor this course. This, can
he accomplished by n constitutional
noieuoiiieni una as long as tire re are
12 states who do not desire the aine'nd
.iient, the constitutional provision for
the election by the legislators can not
he change!.
Again, Bryan objects to the presen!
-ulcs of the house-of representatives
How ta make, the procedure of nenr
i0 members more fully dellberatlvi
and at the same time make provision
for the proper dispatch of business, l
a question which parliamentarians
may discuss to advantage,' '
Bran has much to say In regard t'
corrupt practices ami campaign ex
pendlturem but he omits to give due
credit to thu republican party f
whnt hits been accomplished regard
ing these Important reforms.
, In the state of New York, the repub
lican legislature In . 1901 passed . a
statute prohibiting corporations from
making, 'political contribution direct,
ly or'. indirectly. And I know of no
more drastic statute In the country
with regard to the publicity of cam
pulgn contributions and for the pre.
ventlon of corrupt practices than that
fnsed 111 New York under republican
auspices.
These tire not promises of an oppo.
sltlon party seeking power, but are
enactments hy a party In tvuver.
There should be federal legislation
securing popular publicity of cam
pulgn contributions, hut It must fulr-
ly be recognized that the skirts of
neither party have been clean.
Hoth putties-demand revision of the
