" ncl Jix" Cannon ! quit as able as
any othor Presidential ramitdate. to turn
n.Tt poiitloa! triok. Not lonjf after the
Vntted Stittr--5 Supreme Court doclared the
employer" lrahiiity aot to he unconstitu
tional. Senator Knox. knowing th
trenirth of the labor vote, introduced a
nrw Hahility- hill whlort would meet the
ntveottons of tho court and tiil afford
labor that relief which it sought. Sa
Speaker Cannon, realizmg the aerious
resa of the appeal of the newspaper pub
lishers of the country for a repeal of the
duty cm wood-pulp, soiled the opportunity
to Introduce two resolutions In the House
ralllnc on the Department of Justice and
the IVpartment of Commerce and Lwbor
for Information as to what steps they
have taken to demolish the paper trust.
Py this move the wily Speaker sought
to kUl two birds with a single stone. He
wanted to curry favor with the news
papers, and. betr.g a staunch stand-patter,
he wanted to head off the movement in
the direction of altering the IMngley
tariff law. He put forth his resolutions
with a statement which made it appear
that hi? resolutions would do far more
toward bringing relief to the publisher
than would result from a repeal of the
duty on wood-pulp. Mr. Cannon Is a
foxy politician, even if he has passed the
three score and ton mark, and his com
petitors in the Presidential race are aware
that he is never caught napping. Now.
if he can get his resolutions through, and
start the machinery of the Government
In a way that will actually "bust" the
paper trust, ha will be a more popiilur
man throughout the country than he has
ever been before.
The unfortunate part of it for the
Speaker is that sufficient time will not
elapse before the convention to permit
the Department of Justice 4t demolish
the paper trust, and if the trust should
be destroyed during the next administra
tion tt would be everlastingly too late
for Mr. Cannon to reap the full benefit of
his adroitness. Had the Speaker only
started this ball rolling a year ago. and
had the Department of Juttce before this
time instituted and pressed proceedings
against the paper trust, "t'nele Joe'' Can
non would today be a far more popular
candidate before the country than he Is
ur.dcr existing circumstances.
However, his intention may help some,
and that Is what he wants. There is this
to be considered, also: The Speaker does
not want the tariff tinkered with, and if
his resolutions head off the bills repealing
the tariff on wood-pulp, he will be well
repaid, even he fails to land the Presi
dential nomination.

SMITH'S DAILY ROUNDUP
"FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST"
Kdltrd by the Frank I Xmlth Meat ., Tin Alder St., Ret. 1"t and 2if Ma.
VOL. NO. 34., PORTLAND, OR., APRIL 14.
THIS WIl.l, TM'KI.P, VOIR RISI
BILITIES. There's a good story going tli"
rounds of the meat-trade press, nd
it's ro funny it's wortti telling every
body. Back in Michigan the Br-f
Trust wps haled Into court for wil
ing adulterated sausages the same
B-'f Trust that we have here In Port
land. The evidence showed that they
were putting bran In their sausages.
"Bran? Bran? There's nothing harm
ful about bran bran won't hurt any
body," argued the Trust. Now. if you
ever lived on a farm and prepared
Bossy's evening mash you know how
a few handfuls of bran In the bottom
of the pail becomes a whole bucketful
of bran. You first add some water
and it disappears. Then some more
water, and that's gone. You keep on
putting in water, and water, and when
the pall's full there's still nothing but
bran.
If the Beef Trust can use a certain
proportion of bran at lc per pound,
to which is added all the water it can
absorb costing nothing at all, and then
enough meat at 8c per pound is put in
to give the mixture a flavor, and the
whole compound is retailed out at 10c
per pound, what is the profit of the
Beef Trust? Tell me, ye gray-baired
sons of finance who know ail about
Wall - street stocks and Lawson's
Yukon!
We 'have alwavs maintained and
proven that there" Is not a sausage
made that needs a filler of bran, shorts
or anything else. Smith's sausages
are absolutely pure, whether the pure
food Jaw is looking or not. Every
thing Smith sells Is pure, clean and
fresh. These hot, dusty days you will
see meat in Beef Trust markets cov
ered with dust and dirt so thlf-k It
can be scraped off. People of refine
ment will not eat Buch trasrj they
pass It up and come to Smith's.
