THE Clark-Roy debate at the

Clark says: The way these debates
came about was this: For two years

Speaker Cannon, General Grosvenor,

with these giants, does and sane
man believe that ] Am afraid to de-

called their bluff, and when this de-
bate closes, that committee and
Judge Roy will regret that that chal-
lenge was ever issued. / could
have sneeringly declined to debate
with him, Just ais my Republican
friend, Doctor Bartholdt, did with his

REFERRING to the Importance OF
electric railroads the University
Missouiran of Columbia, Mo-, editor
tally says: THE opponents OF the
proposed i~nterurban railroads in
Missouri should visit Indiana, the
center Of the most elaborate trac-
ton system in the United States.
Eighteen different lines form a
network with the focus at ~Indianapo-
lis, Ind, Toledo, Ohio, Chicago, H.,
Louisville, Ky, and other large CIT
hes connect with the Indiana lines.
Limited cars make long runs at a
rate approximately 60 miles an hour.
Local cars run every half hour be-
tween towns. A telephone connection
may be made each half mile for
emergency use. The mileage rate rs
about two cents a mile. Because Of
the interurban development, many
large towns and small cities have
grown up, and all of them are pro-
gressiye. Surely Missouri could be
shown in this respect by the Hoosier
state.
