among the other nations for second
place.
In these words Mr. Champ Clark
brotherhood. who gave the Missourian q
prediction of. what he believed would be
the growth: Of the United States by the
! en,l of the present century. Mr.. Clark
was entertaining the Brookiand Brother
hood at their monthly meeting at the

made that the world is getting better,
particularly the United States portion Of

the earth, asserting that when 1t was
established there. was but one other.
Now, he declared. there are twenty
one Of the South American republics could
