ed States appointed its commission
before the members met with the
Canadian commission; and since the
commissioners have an annual salary
of $7500 enoh, besides a lot of per
quisites. Congressman Cooper and a
lot of other gentlemen from the
middle west, propounded questions as
to what Messrs. Tawncy, et al,
were going to do to earn their sal
aries. Thereupon promptly airose
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, who made sev
eral short speeches In defense of
Mr. Tawney, and he was ably sec
onded by Representative Mann, and
ill the rest of the big standpatters.
Chairman Fitzgerald, who succeeded
Mr. Tawney in the House, came to
the support of his o'd friend, while
Mr. Miller and other gentlemen
from Minnesota, clearly pointed out
the greatness of the former "smi
thy." And so the appropriations
were voted. As a matter of fact,
the commission is doing considera
ble work, but the old foes of Taw
ney could not let the opportunity
slip to cause him a tittle uneasiness,
and they vigorously maintained that
the commission was created princi
pally for the purpose of caring for
the republican "lame ducks" two
years ago.

"To Be, or Not to Be"
A good deal of quiet work in in

to win back the progressives. To

Seimtor Bristow and Senator-elect
Norrls. as well as Dixon and a mini
her of others, who are among the
great independent leaders, have been
throwing buckets of cold water on
the plan. Nevertheless, Senator Cum

getting things In shape, and next
month the plan will start to formu
