CHAMP CLARK'S OWN BOOM

OHAMP CLARK evidently believes the old
ship Democracy has been patched up sutfi-
- cient1v by the results of the last election to
make her seaworthy enough to land another pres
idential cargo in the White House He even in
Inmates he is willing to be the cargo
In the game Of politics he has very little left
to learn and in the matter of luck he always is
the cross III the picture where the lightning struck
One writer has described him as the only living
continuous contemporary OF the psychological mo-
ment' and he seems to be living up to the de-
scription. Already he is conceded to have cinch
on the spcazership of the house and for man
of his attanmcnts ii is only step from that to
the nomination in 1912, according to his beliefs,
and any others who have an eye on the job had
better respect them.
When he first entered congress there was a
disposition to have fun with him on account OF his
name and his disregard for conventions, but the
sunny Missourap has kept most OF them dancing
ever since. 1t must be remembered that he was
once the youngest college president i'll America
and he has been studying ever since. Circum-
stances and his ability made him leader Of the
house in the fight against Cannonsm and he has
the political wisdom to still announce, while the
speakershp is within his grasp that he favors the
policy of the house naming its own standing COM
mittecs In discussing that he makes this state
ment;
That there is considerable public sentiment
in favor of the house selecting its committees in
some manner to be agreed on is manifest 1t
seems to be strongest in those debatable states
where we must get the votes to elect president
and the house OF The SiHty-seoond congress in
1912"
DO YOU notice the eye Of the politician on
those debatable states where we must get the
votes 10 elect a president: Apparently he has
figured himself in as measuring up to the stature
Of president, and perhaps his chances for the
nomination are better than most 1t will be re-
membercd that Harmon boltcd his party in 1896
Folks boom is old enough now 10 be pretty thor
oughly Wlthered. Wilson only represents small
state and Dix is too close 10 Tammanv 10 ever
have much hope. But Champ Clark comes from
d state that is both big and dcbatabc, and more
over he will have his hand on the convention
throttle all the time.

A POEM WORTH WHILE
THE MUSIC THAT CARRIES
BY STRICKLAND w. GILLILA

I've toed with the men the world has blessed,
And I've toiled with the men who failed ;
I've toed with the men who Gtrove with zest
And I've toiled with the men who walled,
And this is the tale my soul would tell,
AS it drifts DER the harbor bar:
The sounds of a sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far
The men who were the grumbler's side
oh, they heard not word he said;
The sound of a song swept far and WIDE
And they hearkened to that instead
Its tones We're sweet as the tales they tell
OF the rise of the Christmas star
The sounds of a sigh don't carry WELL
But the Tilt of a laugh rings Ear
If you would be heard at all, my lad.
Keep a laugh in your heart and throat,
For those who deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note
Keep hold on the cord of laughter's bell,
Keep aloof from the means that mar;
The sounds of sigh don't carry we'll,
But the Tilt of a laugh rings far.

ASKS FOR AN ANSWER

Editor Herald: Your contributor.
Mrs. F. E. Green, is right in drawing
attention to the difference between
sin and error. Yet the statement that
the death of Christ was an error is
rather ambiguous. If it was an error,
who erred? Was it the Father who so
loved the world that He gave His
first born, or was it the Son" who
willingly offered Himself as ran
som? Or was it an error on the part
of the rulers of His day? l would
like a clear, definite answer to this
question. j. r. *.

TO THE SUPERVISORS OF LOS ANGELES
COUNTY

NOU are clearly neglecting your duty in per-
hitting automobiles to obstruCt the road
way Immediately adjacent to the aviation
grounds. 1t seems incredible that any with
sufficient means to own an automobile should be
small and mean enough to endeavOr to view the
flights of the birdmen from outside the nclOsure
devoted to the parkway for motor cars. If there
such people in this communicated it is to be
said with regret that there are-the supervisors OF
Los Angeles county should to it that they
move on" and not obstruCt the roadway so that
automobiles carrying people who are willing to
contribute their share toward the financial
cess of this splendid meet, so ably managed by
w. M. Garland and his associates can with COM
fort and safety reach the aero grounds.
Perhaps the people who comfortably view the
flights of the air craft from their autos on the pub
lie highway would take less satisfaction if they
would notice the sign displayed by Mr.. Garland !:
"THIS MEET IS GIVEN IN AID OF POOR
ORPHANS AND CHILDREN. WHAT ARE
YOU DOING TO ADD"
Perhaps Sheriff Hammcl will take hand i'll
this.
Another word to the supervisors; 1t is
your duty to that these adjacent rOadWays are
sufficiently watcred to lay the worst OF the dust
before noon on each day of the meet.
