EULOClES PRESIDENT
Champ Clark, Missouri Democrat,
LaudS Chief Executive.
IS NOT A BLIND ADMIRER
Declares Mr.. Roosevelt, After the
Manner of Strong Men, Has Both
Faults of Character.

Washington, Feb 14.-Repres enta-
tive Champ Clark of Missouri occupied
the attention of the house of repre-
sentatives for over an hour in an
address upon the presidents recent
special message to congress, the fnan-
cial disturbance of last fall and the
tariff question. 1t was a characteris-
tic talk and aroused the interest of
the house to a high degree.
In opening Mr.. Clark asserted that
q reasonable view should be taken in
matters touching the president, but
that it had not been done as rule.
"He is such a belligerent parsonage"
he declared, that his lightest word
is a challenge to combat" The pres
ident, he said, could not express his
views upon any question under
heaven, "even upon a subject so
prosaic and threadbare as the pros
pective state of the weather." without
precipitating row, his extreme ad-
hersnts swearing that there never
had been such weather prophet on
earth since Adam and Eve were driven
from the garden of Eden and his ex-
IRENE enemies vociferating that he
knows no more about the weather
than does a ground hog" The presi-
dents whole public life, said Mr.
Clark, had been one long succession
of spectacular fights. Nc man had
been more viciously assailed by men
of his own party "and meme was ever,
while still in the flesh, SO lavishly
lauded by some of the opposing party"
"but," he said, ''the truth is that this
extraordinary man has Waxed strong
er and stronger by waging his bat
ties Even defeat, he declared, had
made him larger and
More Commanding Figure.
$780," he said, "amid the swirl of
things, the deluge of words, the shout
ing of the captains, the beating of
tomtoms, the groans of crippled Re-
publicans, the yells of friend and foe,
one who was personal friend Of
Theodore Roosevelt, the man, but a
political opponent of Roosevelt, the
politician or statesman, had but little
chance perhaps of being heard in this
babel Of voices" Mr.. Clark, however,
insisted that he would have his say.
He spoke on his personal liking for
the president and said that although,
after the manner of strong men, the
president had pronounced virtues and
glazing faults of character, he had
never abused him nor had he grown
hysterical in admiration of him, but
he had supported him when he was
right and fought him tooth and nail
when he was wrong. He believed that
was the way the president wanted to
be treated. HE must, indeed said
Mr. Clark, entertain ineffable con-
tempt for the inveterate sycophants
who grovel before him on all occa
sions and who, no matter what he
does Or says, throw high their sweaty |
caps in the air and shout
Mr. Clark spoke of the claim that |
President Roosevelt was better than |
his party, which fact he estimated, |
"easily could be without running any |
imminent danger of being translated |
after the manner of Elijah in chariot |
of fire by reason of his goodness"

What Is a Lyric?

Among the ancients lyrical poetrys
was verse to be sung to the accompa-
niment of the Tyre or harp In modern
usage the term lyrical is confined to
songs relating to feelings or emotions
as distinct from descriptive songs. For
instance, the Bay of Biscay'' is
song, but not lyric, while Burns

FIGHT ON PENNY DREADFUIS
Durer Union in Germany Begins Fight
on Pernicious Literature.
TRAFFIC BECOMES ENORMOUS
Eight Thousand Dealers and 10000
Are Engaged In Nsnd-
ing Sensational Books
and Pamphlets, aJ =

BERLIN. Tuesday, Aug. A-"Twelve and
a half million dollars are. thrown away
every year in Germany by the poorer
classes in the purchase of perntcious penny
dreadfuls,' according to a statement just
published by the Durer union, which is en-
gagged in a campaign against the growing
tendency m Germany to read trashy litera-
ture. '..aa
The secretary OF the union vouches for
the astounding statement that 5000 book
sellers and 10000 peddlers are engaged in
selling sensational books, giving complete
tales of a low order. No fewer than 10000
900 OF these wretched stories have been sold
In the course Of a single year. They are
hawked from house to house. from factory
to factory, outside schools and among the
peasants on every farm throughout the en-
pire. The peddlers always enter by the
back door or the kitchen stairs. Servant
girls and ignorant peasants are the most
fruitful customers. but It is asserted by
municipal officers that even people who are
in receipt Of poor relief eften deprive them
selves of necessities in order to save 2 cents
for a vile rehash of the sensationally en-
bellished details Of a notorious crime.
Time after time young people are brought
before the courts charged with crimes, to
the committal of which At is often proven in
evidence that they have been melted by
reading the wildly portrayed recital Of
some noted crime.
A student Of the technical school in
Kaiserslauten, when charged with stealing
a large number Of gold bracelets and
watches from a jeweler. which he melted
down in an apparatus at the school he was
attending, confessed that he had been fired
with the idea of becoming a clever thief by
reading the life of a jaifbird.
DR.. Ernest Schultz, secretary Of the Durer
union, points out the paucity OF good litera-
ture in school libraries and suggests the
spending of considerable sums in providing
really good reading matter so as to combat
the spread OF the evil caused by the read
ing of the shoals of trash spread over the
country. -..r-,

Campaign for Prohibition.
Prohibitionists are counting on great
things during the next two years. Rev.
Mr.. Barber, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league. believes that in two years
Iowa will have prohibition. He believes
that the legislature 20 meet next winter
will either repeal the mulct law or Will
vote to resubmit the constitutional amend
ment. He believes that the sentiment in
the state for prohibition has become so
great that the legislature cannot ignore
1t. If it votes to resubmit the amend
ment to the constitution. the legislature
OF 1911 will also have to vote the same
proposition before it can be resubmitted
to the people at an election. In that
event 1t would be of necessity some over
two years before It would be possible to
get prohibition.
Can Commission Raise RateaF
Can the State Board of Railroad Com
missioners raise freigh rates? The law
says that II can lower them, but il is
claimed by some lawyers that the lam
guage does not say that they can be
raised. An application has been filed
with the board by William Ellis, COM
merce attorney for the Chicago, Milwau
kee & st. Paul railroad, to have tho
classification Of stenewsre in carload lots
changed from class d to class B.. That
would mean an increase in the rates.
The commission will hear the complaint
soon and must then decide whether or
not 1t has authority to raise rates.
1t is claimed that crockery should 20
at a higher rate, because there is so
much breakage, and railroads would Just
as soon there was no crockery shipped.
1t Is claimed that If a car is loaded with
crockery and allowed to stand on the
track a week without being moved and
is then opened 1t will be found that a lot
Of 1t is broken because of the expansion
and contraction of the stuff by the tenn
perature, and yet IL any breakage occurs
the railroad must pay for it. Sometimes
the breakage amounts to more than the
original charge for freight.
