WHERE CLARK STANDS.
Prospective Speaker Defines His Po-
sition on Important Questions.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Representa-.
tive Champ Clark issued a statement
tonight fully outlining his platform as
the prospective speaker of the Demo-
cratic house of representatives in the
next congress. He proclaims himself
in favor of the appointment of COM
mitteeS of the house by a committee,
rather than by the speaker; and he
states his belief that the tariff should
be revised schedule by schedule, rath-
er than in one single bill. Those two
subjects, says Mr.. Clark, are the ones
upon which he has been continually
importuned to make some statement.
There are two theories of tariff re-
vision says Mr.. Clark in his state
ment; revision by one general bill,
and revision by separate bills for sep
arate schedules. This is a matter not
of principle, but Of method.
Individually, I prefer the scheme
of separate bills for separate schedules
taking the schedules with the most
| obnoxious features first, perhaps in
certain cases having separate bills for
particular items"
The statement proceeds to say that
whatever method is decided upon. full
hearing, as comprehensive as that
which preceded the framing of the
Payne-Aldrich law, will be had by the
| new ways and means committee.
THE assumption growing out of ig-
norance in certain quarters" says Mr..
|
tor Cummins, or any other Republican
has discovered something new in tar
| iff revision by the separate schedule
| scheme, is preposterous. As far back
as the f1fty-second congress, Mr..
| Chairman Springer introduces sepa-
rate bills for separate schedules and
even for particular items, which were
derisively denominated. 'Springer's
pop gun bills by ribald Republican
speakers and writer's; and several
years before Judge Springer was chair
man of the committee on ways and
means, Mr.. Mckenzie, of Kentucky,
achieved both great renown and the
sobriquet of 'quinine jim by securing
/ the passage of a bill putting quinine
| on the free list and touching no other
! item whatever in any tariff schedule. I"
Two questions, Mr.. Clark says, in
terest the country; how the Democrats
will select their committees and what
the party will do with the tariff. This
last question has been answered, and
proceeding to the first, he says:
/ f'As to the mode of selecting COM
n1ittees in the event of my own cleo
ton to the speakership, 1 would not
care the snap of my finger to exercise
the power of appointing them. have
stated that to every Democratic MEM
Der who cared to inquire my opinion,
The exercise of that power would un-
doubtedly have certain unpleasant fea-
tures.''
OF the two plans for the election of
committees by the Democratic caucus
or directly by the house ITSELF Mr..
Clark favors the last named. This is
based on the fact that in the debatable
states the Independent voters appear
to favor it and the future speaker of
the house frankly acknowledges that
it may be adopted because of the in
fiuence it would have in returning a
Democratic president and Democrat
ic congress in 1912.

PLEASED WITH WICHITA YARDS
Division Superintendent of Rock
Island Makes Inspection.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 17.-G. W.
Rourke, division superintendent of the
Rock Island, with headquarters at
Harrington, was in the city for the pur
pose of inspecting the company's new
freight yards and terminal facilities at
Twenty-fifth street. He spent several
hours at the new yards and expressed
himself as well pleased with the prog
ress of the building.
Several Of the tracks in the new
yards are already in use for storage
purposes. There are six of these, each
1900 feet long. Within a few weeks
they will be used as the general yards
for the city.
The roundhouse is almost finished
and will be ready for use by the time
all other facilities are ready for use.
The work on the oil tanks, coal chutes
and water tanks Is progressing nicely.
A private telephone line connecting the
yards with the freight house down
town is under construction.
1--WE expect to move the telegraph
operators to the new yards about the
first of the year. said r. E. Greene,
local agent for the Rock Island. "By
that time things will be in readiness
for US to handle the bulk of our
freight business there"

fact is the condition of the railways
may always be taken as the most re-
liable barometer of the general BUSH
ness interests of the country.
There are those who are decidedly
or opinion that the closing words of
President Taft's message, which al
ready have been quoted. may be taken
as direct assurance that the railway
companies will get the advance in rates
which they have been seeking, and
with that advance there will at once
come period of restored activity such
as is desired by the president and all
who wish for a continuance of his
administration through second term.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that the
holders of this opinion are not too
sanguine regarding the meaning which
is to be attached to the presidents re-
marks, and that the country will not
be kept any longer than is absolutely
necessary in doubt regarding what the
decision of the interstate commerce
commission is to be concerning the adj

The waiting policy which is now be-
ing pursued is not calculated to re-
store public confidence in any degree.
On the contrary. the longer decision
Is delayed the more pronounced the
existing depression is certain to be-
come, and the more difficult will 1t be
eventually to recover from it. Popu-
lar opinion has very largely adopted
the view that the increase will be
granted. Even the opponents of that
advance have prepared themselves Tor
submission to such decision. Ship
ping interests which have been most
bitter in their antagonism to the adj
vance being allowed are pretty well
satisfied in their own minds that they
have utterly failed to present such a
case as would warrant the interstate
commerce commission in refusing to
permit the advance. It is safe to as
sumo that many of them have become
aware of the mistake that was made
in the first instance in starting the OPP
position, and should the results of the
advance be such as is generally sup
posed, no one will have more reasoG
to rejoice at their own defeat than
these same opponents.

modern home for dairy cows, with
patent stalls, stanchions and other
equipments.
Efforts now are being made by the
management to obtain the most excel

use in demonstrating at the different
stops, the points to be observed in Sc
lecting profitable cows and good sires
to place at the head of herds. These
animals viii taken from their stalls

on small scale will be held.
A train was run over the Burling-
ton railroad in southern Iowa last year
and 105 stops made. At each stop,
where the audience numbered fTG5iS=<..

sential points that should be observed
in selecting dairy cows for profit and
dairy bulls for the purpose of build
ing up the herd to a more productive
basis. Lectures also were given, as
will be done on the Illinois Central
train that comes to Sioux City, on
silos and silage, testing dairy cows to
dtermine the productive and nonpro-
ductive ones, and to illustrate these
lectures miniature silos, Babcock test
ers scales, ETC., were used.

With corps of seven pitchers and

He was good enough to hang some
time on the Columbus team in the
American Association last spring, his
second season in tie professional ranks,
but was dropped to the Akron. O., club
where he finished the season.
Katz made his professional debut with
the Pittsburg club in the Western As
ISOLATION in 1909. Out Of schedule of
126 games he missed but two. gather
ing total of 125 hits for a percentage
of 1868. In this bunch of bingles, he
counted 40 for extra bases. eight being
homers. eight triples and "a doubles. He
covered his sack for an average of SS1.
The following spring. that Of 1910. he
was bought by Columbus but failed to
stick to the classy company and was
sold to Akron.
Hard luck came in q bunch. In the
third game he was injured sliding into
the plate and was kept off the field for
three weeks. When he got out again

MUIRHEAD MAKES INQUIRY.
Visits Hutchinson In Interests of Bet

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 17.-William
Muirhead, assistant to John Dawson,
the attorney for the railroad board. is
in Hutchinson in search of information
regarding the operating of trains from
Mcpherson to Hutchinson over the
Rock Island lines. He is being as
sisted by J. U. Brown, a member of
the committee representing the Com
mercial club in the fight to force the
inson If possible.
Messrs. Muirhead and Brown in
spected the records with the avowed
view of voting bonds and subscribing
stock to the Mcpherson, Texas & Gulf
system and the Hutchinson, Oklahoma
& Gulf system in 1889. They have
secured considerable information, but
caused the Union Pacific to begin
operating trains to Hutchinson a num-
Der of years ago. If this information
can be found it is quite likely that
this matter can be settled within a
short time.
Mr.. Muirhead asserted that If the
attorney general finds any agreement
that can be used in requiring the
Union Pacific to run trains from Nc
Pherson to Hutchinson and return,
that he would require tho railroad
company to comply with it. Mr.. Muir
head will be in Hutchinson today, after
which he will leave in search of other
information. ...-5.-l
He has conferred with the traffic Of
ficials of the Rock Island and Union
Pacific companies and IS now IN search
of information. He. will examine the
records of Mcpherson and other coun-
ties involved and interview the county
officers that can be located who are IA
miliar with the facts.
