Champ Clark Talks of Senator
COrkrelI.

No two men in the nj are more
unlike mentally and physically than
Cockrell and Vest. But their very
dissimilarlty strengthens them. They
supplement each other admirably.
What Vest can't do and won't do,
Cockrell does eXcellently and thor
won't do, Vest does with consumate
skill.
Cockrell is the younger man, but the
older senator. Vest is short and fat.
Cockrell Is tall and lean as a racer.
Vest Is the prince of humOrists. Cock
rail revels in statistics. Vest makes
lots of s~cintillaling speeches and
cnrries the republicans from away
back Cockrell rarely speaks, but does
il world of work.
Some newspaper man recently said
that Cockrell looks like Uncle Sam,
and | suppose he thought that eXcru-
ciatingly funny. lie was within the
shadow of a great truth and would not
have been wide OF the mark, if he had
said he is Uncle Sam, for when char
man of the mate committee on appro-
priations he cpme nearer being the

.'Lady of Lyons Bulwer declares:
SIN the hands of men truly great,
The pen is mightier than the sword;"
and from that day to this the boys in
debating societies all over the land
have been arguing the relative power
of pen and sword. | remember trying
my oratorical wings on that exciting
theme years ago, before | could sprout
