And Now Clarkism.

The air is full of rumors Go where you
may, people will be talking. There are
wars and threatenings Of wars. In the
House particularly, and about the aHaTs
of that body, one may hear no end or
gossip.
Cannonism has had the field for a sea-
son, but it no longer monopolizes II. There
is a topic now called Clarkism, and 1t is
much discussed. Would the gentleman
from Missouri cut more conservative
figure in the chair than the gentleman
from Illinois is doing? 1t is said there
are democrats who fear not. They see in
Mr.. Clark a man with some Of Mr.. Can
mons characteristics-of a downright ma
ture, and disposed to have his own way.
Hence their uneasiness.
The reasoning of these men runs like
this: IF the democracy controls the next
House, the body will organize and do
business on the eve of the presidential
election. One of the issues which will
have contributed to our success is Can
nonism. Now suppose we show nothing
better in the chair than that. Suppose
our Speaker drives hard, under the plea
that the majority must do business. The
republicans and the country will laugh at
goods under false pretenses. And the
proof will stand with the gavel in his
hand
And then there would be Mr.. Cannon,
ready to show up the majority at every
opportunity. Even If the republicans did
not make him their leader. his large
knowledge of parliamentary law and of
the public business would make him a
power in the House. But could he be de-
prived of the leadership? Would not Mr..
Clark, or the committee to make the Sc
lections, assign Mr. Cannon to ways and
means as the head of the minority men,
bership, and thus settle the question of
his position on the floor?
Still, Mr. Clark, in a democratic House,
would have very strong claims to the
chair. Vie has had fifteen years expert
ence as a member Of that body. He has
always been regular. He has fought
under Mr.. Bryan's leadership for all
that is comprehended in the term Bry-
anism. He was for silver while silver was
the cry. He has always been, and now
is, for a tariff for revenue only. He has
never drawn tariff bill. but. with the
exception of his first term, his whole con-
gressional service has been in the minor
ity. He might improve his first oppor-
tunity to show what he understands by
that term, what sort of bill would best
answer as a starter toward putting an
end to the policy of protection.
Mr.. Clark may have been using stronger
language about Cannonism than the SUBJ
ject warranted, or than he would enjoy
having quoted against his own rule In
the chair. but he has simply been follow
ing a fashion. Nearly twenty years ago
Mr.. Crisp talked quite as severely about
Reedism, and then, upon reaching the chair
himself, gave an excellent imitation of it.

The Amateur.

The house dogs left the kitchen door.
Where once with faith complete
He fingered hourly to implore
Some dainty thing to eat.
With mournful bay he went away,
Nor gave one backward look.
Home Is no place for dear old Tray
Since Gladys learned to cook.
She says that eggs and meat are not
Required by you and me;
She losses string beans in the pot
With epicurean glee.
We struggle with the bill of fare
That she reads in a book.
Indeed, this life is full of care
Since Gladys learned to cook.

The Newer Education
From the Chicago Tribune.


The relation of the larger universities
Of the United States to the practical
problems of existence is being empha-
sized in an astonishing degree nowadays.
II the notion of clustered halls where
pale-faced students pored over musty
tones once held sway, that idea has en-
'ssrely disappeared. The dominant thought
appears to be, how can the training of
the schools be made most useful In bet
tering Xhe conditions Of human life.

Unrewarded Experience.

They tell us that this temperate zone,
When once old Boreas cuts loose,
Has ills peculiarly it's own
AS bad as arctic climes produce.
We would not mind the ice and snow,
Which we must patiently endure,
If later came a chance to go
Upon a well paid lecture tour.

useless from a farming standpoint.
With the application OF water
through the medium of irrigation
canals this land not only has pro-
duced large crops of good quality,
but seems to improve year after year.
Grain and cereals. such as corn,
wheat, oats, barley and millet, show
an average yield of irrigated land OF
I from so to 80 per cent, while on dry
/ land the same products range from
! 60 to 10 per cent.
Irrigated potatoes. both Irish and
sweet, tomatoes, peas, cabbaees.

ons show an increase over previous
years, running from so to 80 per
