STORIES THAT hide THEIR
LIGHTS" SOON HIDE THEM
SELVES.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-12-16
BY JAMES A. EDGERToN.

- 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-
1onged 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 oratorical 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 comers 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 Wonderful Memory
In appearance Champ Clark is tall
and heavy, with a large head covered
by thin hair almost white, a smooth

CHAMP CLARK.

shaven, square, thin Tipped face, keen
blue eye and the inevitable southern
frock coat and soft hat, in his case IA
in size. He moves all over and talks
the same way. When Clark came lop-
ing into the house one day Speaker
Cannon remarked that if he had fore
legs and a hump he would be camel.
The big Missourian works at making a
speech like man mauling rails. He
PAGES the aisle, gets down into the well
Of the house, goes over menacingly to-
ward the Republicans, hurting rhetor-
ical bricks at them all the way, drifts
back to his desk, leans over it and
shakes his head as a terrier shakes a
rat, makes his voice rip up the echoes
that have been ripped up so many
times before and will be so many
times again, and when through with
his speech is blowing and red in the
face, wiping off the sweat with a big
bandanna, like a Kansas harvest hand
in July. But all the time he has been
saying things, has swept the house
with alternate gales of merriment and
applause, in which even his victims
have Joined, and altogether has made
an effort that will be talked Of for days
afterWard. Champ Clark is more than
a gymnastic orator. He works his
brains as well as his arms. He has
been reading omniyorously all his life,
can remember everything he ever read
and can tell everything he remembers.
If Champ were elected president he
would not have to read up in an ency-
clopedia, as it is said Cleveland did
when swinging around the circle
Since the "big Piker'' has been in near

about the most prodigious memory as
In Washington.
Outside of congress Champ Clark is
a Chautauqua lecturer, a newspaper
writer, lawyer, farmer and good
fellow. He has many ayocations, but
his vocation Is that of being a Mis-
sourian. He works at that 365 days
h the year, and 366 whenever the al
manac will let him. He does not de-
fend his state exactly as Daniel Web
ster did Massac husetts, but in 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 tin
Grant dentist who carried his kit OF
tools In one end Of his saddlebags and
Democratic speeches in the other
This made him second Torquemada
who first tortured his victims with the
forceps and then with Stephen A
Douglas. Young Champ thus inner
tied his politics, but acquired his state
pride.
Exciting School Experience.
For time in his youth Clark was
apprenticed to farmer, but go1

when he was fifteen. It 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 a 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 for
"winging'' a 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
lege president, the youngest, believe,
in the United States. It was Marshall
college, West Virginia, and the manner
teristic. He did not apply for this
! place, but more humble one IN
state normal. The following is a por-
ton Of his application:

years old, over six feet high, weigh

to start practice, but said he was

ran country paper for another year
and then started the practice OF law.
He tried for the legislature, but was
defeated. He was made city attorney
Of Louisiana and afterward of Bowl
ing Green, his present home. He was
deputy prosecuting attorney and pros
ecuting attorney of his county. When
about to leave the last named Office
the grand jury nominated him for the
legislature. He regarded it as joke,
but the people of the county heard Of
the Indictment and sentenced him to
one term There he was the wit Of
the house and floor leader. Grand
juries often start men on the road to
the penitentiary, but this is the only
case on record, so far as know,
where that useful and salutary body
bound a man over to that kindred in
stitution, the state legislature.
Champ was such a big man during
his one term at Jefferson City that he
concluded he ought to run for con-
gress. There were not enough others
Of his way Of thinking, however, so he
was defeated for the nomination. Two
years later he tried it again. That
was the most spectacular campaign
ever known in the district, which was
used to hard scrapping, as may be
judged from it's name, 'the bloody
Ninth" It was also called "the toss
up Ninth" for the reason that Dick
Norton, Champs predecessor and an
tagonist had tied with another man
for the nomination and the two flip
