Clark 10 Retire
Byrd May be Leader
BYRD is EXPERIENCED ON TARIFF
HIS SPEACHES is UNCOING
THE REPUBLICANS.

dSnlnStOn. ~ ", OCC ll-COn-
gresham Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, Democratic floor leader in
the house Of representatives, has
announced that he will abandon
the lecture platform and devote
all his energies to fighting for
the principles his party stands
for in the future. This is re-
garde1 as a great financial sacri-
flee on the part OF Congressman
CLARK, as he is in great demand
Oh the Chatauqua circuit.
1t is rumored in Washington
tina: Congressman Clark's action
is the result of severe criticism
on the part of party associates
because of his apparent neglect
of party affairs for financial gain
since he has been the minority
leader. 1t is claimed that he
Jailed to put up strong fight
against the republicans in the
recent extra session of congress
when the tariff was the chief
subject under consideration. 1t
is pointed out that had he made
a more vigorous fight much
better tariff law would have
been placed on the statute books.
There are those who hint that he
chafed under the long tariff
sqaabble and longed for the ad-
journment of congress in order
that he might rake in the shekels
he expected to flow his way dur
ing his lecture engagements. 1t
is pretty we'll understood that
many Of his democratic colleagues
intimated to him that he should
be content with his salary of
$500 per year and give his en-
tire time to his congressional
duties or retire from congress.
There is no denying the fact
that Congressman Clark's leader
ship of the democracy has not
been satisfactory, and it would
not be surprising should he re-
linquish the job in the near fu-
ture. Should he do so, it is
believed that Congressman Adam
Byrd, of Mississippi, would stand
a mighty good show to succeed
him. Byrd is conceded to be the
ablest thinker on the tariff ques-
tion on the democratic side of
the house. He has made the
question life study, and since
he has been in congress has
fought session after session for
proper revision of the tariff,
framed upon true democratic
principles. His speeches have
had great weight with his col
leagues and the people. They
have been circulated by the
thousands in New England and
the West, and mole than one
high tariff republican has bit the
political dust as a result. Nc
Cleary, of Minnesota, the chief
of standpatters, owes his retire
ment to private life to the logic
of the Mississippi statesman. In
Massachusetts. Rhode Island, and
other New England states, the
ringing arguments of Mr.. Byrd
are being used to undo the
wolves of protection robbery.
Congressman Byrd is a warm
friend of Mr.. Clark, a friendship
that is reciprocated by the Mis-
souri, statesman, and it is said
that if Byrd should be called up
on to lead his party in the
event of Clark's retirement, none
would be more highly pleased
than the "Show me" lawmaker.
Mr. Clark recognizes Mr.. Byrd's
The Neshoba Democrat., 1909-10-14

tariff ability, and desiring demo-
cratic success, no doubt would be
highly gratified to see the latter
step into his shoes.

your acquaintance. Or, If you have
no earthly friends whatever, let your
thought dwell upon the great Friend

Why Our RasrSads Are Marrow Gauge.
Why are all railroads built on the
standard gauge Of four feet eight and
one-half inches? The makers Of the
first locomotives thought only Of put
ting their machines upon the tram
ways already In existence. and from
that followed a very interesting and
curious result. These tram lines natu-
rally had exactly the width prescribed
by the strength of one horse. By mere
inertia the horse cart gauge estab-
lished itself in the world, and every
where the train is dwarfed to a scale
that limits alike its comfort, power
and speed. Because there is so much
capital engaged and because of the
dead power of custom 1t is doubtful IL
there viii ever be any change in this
gauge. Still, It might be worse. If the
biggest horses had been Shetland po-
MES our railway carriages now would
only be wide enough TO hold two per
sons side by side and would have a
maximum speed Of twenty miles an
hour. There is hardly a reason aside
from this antiquated horse why the
railway coach should not be nine or
ten feet wide-that is. the width Of
the smallest room In which people can
live In comfort and furnished with all
the equipment of comfortable cham

Uncle Sam gets through his work

even now, with the guns mounted
and the forces already here, very
good resistance could be offered to an
invading army.

zest of the chase they moved off
at the word while the crowd
cheered and the drivers waved
goodbye, not certain they would
come out Of the contest alive.
Details of the race from start
to finish are lacking, but it is
known that the Berger mala-
mutes No. l and No. 2 teams,
driven by Scotty Allen and Per-
cy Blatchford, respectively, fin
ished in the order named. A
mixed team of hounds and bird
dogs driven by George Fink
came in third.
The Siberian dogs which
were the favorites and heavily
backed, became snow bound and
were hopelessly out of the race.
The driver was forced to turn
back. The fate Of some of the
other starters is still unknown.
Teams are struggling back to
Nome, some of them in pitiful
condition. 1t is estimated that
100000 changed hands.
