eulogy, filled with inspiring thoughts
and sincere tributes to the dead. 1t
was one of the best eurogies ever
heard in the city and Mr. Sternberg
delivered it in most admirable
manner, bringing out its beauty and
worth in a pronounced manner.
The orchestra then gave a most eX-
quisite rendition of Cigars Salute
d. Amour" The orchestral work last
evening was exceptionally fine.
Sherman w Moody in most
pleasing manner rendered the solo,
There Is a Land Mine Eye Hath

beautiful solo and was well given.

minutes and his address was rich in
its beauty. inspiring in its thoughts
pregnant with facts and truths about
the organization. purposes. works
and endeavors of the great order of

interspersed with some of the sweet

Fahnestock is a sincere speaker and
hat he is eloquent all who heard
him last night will testify His most
attractive appearance and his manner
of speaking. graceful and easy move
ments on the platform and his un-

on his audience. The lodge was GER
tainly fortunate in securing Mr.
Fahnestock TO deliver the address OF
the evening. In its class the address
ranks as one of the best things ever
heard from local platform. That
it made a lasting impression on the
audience there can be no doubt.

CHAMP CLARK is MADE
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER

On Saturday night Representative
Champ Clark, the brainy and bril-
| liant Missourian, was chosen minor

atives at caucus of the democratic
| members of congress.
Clark's election was unanimous.
His name was suggested by the re-
tiring minority leader, Senator-eleet
| John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
In accepting the leadership, Mr..
Clark said
Il am profoundly grateful for the
great honor just conferred on me. an
honor doubly priced because of the
unanimity with which it comes. |
hope to discharge the numerous and
difficult duties of the position so as
not to cause you to regret the action
of this hour, but | cannot do it-no
man can without the cordial cooper
alton and constant assistance of his
fellows.
This cooperation and constant as
sistance | now invoke in the interest
of the country and of great historic
party. These interests are largely
committed to our hands. To promote
them by securing unity of action re-
quires some self-abnegation. some
yielding of opinion. some sacrifice of
ease on the part of every democratic
member.
by conference, by pulling togeth-
er. by regular and punctual attend
ance on the sessions of the commit
tee and of the house. by sinking per-
sonal jealousies, by mutual conces-
sionS, we can accomplish much for
the welfare of the country and the
strengthening of the party of which
we are members: for let 1t never be
forgotten, He serves his party best
who serves his country Well
Il shall confer with you as fire.

multitude of counsel there is wis
dom Each member should make
himself thoroughly familiar with the
business pertaining to his committee
and should be in the house to look
after 1t. have no policy other than
to carry out your wishes.
The chief thought in my mind on
this occasion and always, is that in
unity there is strength and that we
must stand together II we would in
crease the influence of the democrat
ic party as a factor in public affairs"
Clark. in succeeding Williams who
has been the democratic leader for
six years. takes up the leadership
with united democracy behind him.
During the six terms he has served
in the house he has won reputation
among his admirers of both parties
of being one of its most solid and elo-
quent members. AS ranking minori-
ty member of the ways and means
committee he has been well to the
front in Legislative affairs during the
last few years.
