Missouri s Great Wit
Champ Clark Minority Leader of the House, Is One of the
Most Popular Men In Congress Renowned Story Teller
and Forcefu Debater Who Works His
Brains as Well as His Arms

about the most prodigious memory as
well as the most exuberant vocabulary
In Washington.
Outside of congress Champ Clark is
ChautauQua lecturer, a newspaper
writer, lawyer, a farmer and a good
fellow. He has many avocations, but
his vocation is that Of being a Mis-
sourian. He works at that 365 days
in the year, and 1866 whenever the al
manac will let him. He does not de-
fend his state exactly as Daniel Web
ster did Massachusetts,, but in a more
pugnacious and spectacular manner.
Clark's eulogium of his adopted state
is effective, too, even If it is not so
ponderous and eloquent as that in
which the godlike Daniel withered
Hayne. Champ has not Lexington
and Bunker Hill to point to, but he
has the Missouri mule, Mark Twain
and the classic motto You'll have to
show me-" all Of which or whom have
done for Missouri what a certain cele-
brated beverage did for Milwaukee.
Speaking Of Webster, Clark was
born on the very day that the New
England Demosthenes delivered an
other famous grafton, that on the Mis-
souri, compromise, which caused Whit
tier to call him "Ichabod" and other
abolitionists to use less polite names.
This was in March, 1850, and took
place in Kentucky-the birth, not the
Grafton. The elder Clark was an itin-
Grant dentist who carried his kit Of
tools in one end Of his saddlebags and
Democratic speeches in the other.
This made him a second Torquemada,
who first tortured his victims with the
forceps and then with Stephen A.
Douglas. Young Champ thus inher-
tted his politics, but acquired his state
pride.
Exciting School Experience.
For time in his youth Clark was
apprenticed to farmer, but got
enough Of an education to teach school

By JAMES A. EDCERTON.

~ FFICIALLY Champ Clark's title
is the minority leader Of the
house. Popularity it is the ''big
Piker" from Missouri The term
is not used in an offensive sense.
Clark is big, and he is from Pike
county, the Identical Pike county
known to song and story. The pro-
ilonged applause on both sides Of the
chamber when the new Democratic
spokesman took up the reins at the be-
ginning Of the short session showed
him to be one Of the most popular
men in congress. This popularity is
quite as pronounced among the Re-
publicans as in his own party. The
fact Is no slight tribute in view Of
the merciless poundings he has given
his opponents, both individually and
collectively, whenever the spirit moved
him. Clark does not make the mis-.
take Of speaking often, but when he
does get into action everybody is
aware Of the fact. He belongs to the
type Of man who believes intensely
whatever he believes at all. The two
chief articles of his creed are Democ-
racy and Missouri. He is not much
given to rhetoric, the chief arrows in
his oratoricai culver being humor, fact
and Scriptural quotation. Owing to
his fine presence, his southern drawl
and his personal illusions, Mr.. Clark's
speeches sound better than they read.
he belongs to the rough and tumble,
ever ready school that the house of
representatives brings forth In his
day he has met all corners in debate,
even brushing Tom Reed out Of his
way and taking an especial delight in
'hammering General Grosvenor, who
was one Of the doughtiest warriors on
the Republican side.
Gifted With a Wonderful Memory.

when he was fifteen. 1t was in one
OF those Kentucky backwoods schools
, where the teacher had to lick all the
big boys or be run out. Clark at.
tended to the whipping process SO
thoroughly that the father Of one OF
the boys took shot at him. There
after the young teacher had brace
OF pistols in conspicuous view behind
his desk. He made enough money as
pedagogue to take him to college,
but after three years was expelled fol-
"winging" fellow student from Ohio.
Champ afterward said he was driven
into corner and had to shoot. He
next went to Bethany college, pre-
sided over by the illustrious Alexan-
der Campbell. At graduation young
Clark had the highest grade ever CIV
en- a student in the school. The next
year, at twenty-three, he was a COL
1ege president, the youngest, I believe,
In the United States. 1t was Marshall
college, West Virginia, and the manner
IN which he landed the job was charac-
tertstic. He did not apply for this
place, but more humble one in a
state normal. The following is a por-
ton of his applications:

Wit and Legislative Leader.
After year as college president
Clark went to the Cincinnati Law
school, then drifted to Wichita, Kan,
to start practice, but said he was
driven out by the grassheppers. He
next turned up IN Missouri, where he
taught school at Louisiana for year.

ONE of the amusing features OF
the campaign is the news item
appearing in some republican
dailies to the effect that the
English insurance house, Lloyds,
is issuing to frightened business
men in this country insurance
against the election of Bryan. 1t
is represented that the demand
for policies is SO great that the
rates are steadily increasing. We
don't know just what sort of a cy-
clone they anticipate IN event OF
Bryan's election. but it is evident
that they expect the calamity to
occur. otherwise they wouldn't be
paying "bloody" Englishman to
protect them. What sort of cam
paign stuff is that anyhow

THE Ft. Collins Review and
the Breckenridge Bulletin are
two of the best conducted demo-
cratic exchanges we have. Their
editors have clear idea of what
they want TO say and the com
mand of language to say it most
effectively. Best of all they have
decided political ideals and con-
sistently follow them.

The tariff plank of the republi.

The tariff plank OF the republi-
can platform says: The true
principle of protection is best
maintained by the imposition of
such duties as will equal the d,f-
ference between the cost OF pro-
duction at home and abroad. :"
But how about the duties on the
articles manufactured and sold
abroad for less money than at
home? A large list of these
articles on which a prohibitive
tariff is placed are manufactured
here and sold abroad at very
much less price than is charged
our own people. That can be
done because the foreign manu-
facturer can not pay the tariff and
successfully compete. In other
words the tariff is added to the
profits on goods sold at home.
That is republican protection.

In the trial of Steve Adams,
Judge Shackleford displayed a
spirit of fairness and judicial abil-
ity which is in contrast with the
performances of other occupants
Of the bench in such cases. Judge
Shackleford showed that he re
spects his reputation as lawyer
and jurist above the good Will
OF powerful element in Colorado
politics. The upright judge com
mands the respect of all, whether
of his political faith or not. II

for the most part successfully,
opposed every policy for which
Roosevelt has been praised by
the people of the country and
that what he did accomplish in
congress was by the aid and sup
port of democrats against the
strenuous opposition of the men
who are now sounding the praise

rRArHRNAL KNOCKERS.

The esteemed Booster siezes
the diatribe of Bro. Blackwell as
a text for saying something about
this editor on the telephone mat
ter. He charges that we are
doing all that we can to create
dissatisfaction with the home
phone. How, when and where ?
This editor never adopts tactics
of that sort. We have used the
home phone from the first mo-
ment we could get one. We also
rent a Bell phone because we
need it-and it does not occur to
US that is is any of either Bro.
Blackwell or divers business.
The constant charge made by
both papers that our Colorado
phone is free to US is plain un-
vanished lie and both editors
know it.
When we spoke of boycott
being made on the Colorado we
spoke the truth and any inter-
ested party may verify our state
ment by consulting The Miller
Nero. Co. Dunbar & Williamson.
Nelson Bros, w. T. Baetjer and
others who were approached and
urged to take out their Colorado
phones.
This editor was also urged
twice to cut out the Colorado.
We were warned that failure so
to do meant a loss of business
from those who used the home
phone. We are very glad to
state that this threat turned out
to be a bluff. We. have not lost
single subscriber. and a dozen
Coop phone users have COM
plimented us on our stand on this
question. 1t is great pleasure
to realize that the fair minded
Coop men are plentiful and the
boycotters and knockers scarce.
Both phones are very necessary
and this paper will do all it can
to foster both. The Booster and
Times may knock all they choose.
Many people will note the
covert invitation in the Boosters
last paragraph. IN which IT sug-
gests that the merchants who
have the Colorado phone should
be Disseminated against. The
observing reader will note that the
BOOSTER IS A BOYCOTTER
