GRAIN RATES NOT
UNREASONABLE
Those From North Dakota
Held Valid by Interstate
Commerce Commission

Washington, May 26.-The proposed
advances in freight rates on grain and
grain products from North Dakota
and South Dakota producing points to
such primary grain centers as Mime
apolis, Duluth, Milwaukee and Chi
cago, are held by the interstate COM
merce commission in decision today
to be not unreasonable. The commits
sion held, however, that the former
established rates from origin to those
destinations should be restored, ex-
cept in Instances Of bona fide errors
in tariffs or manifest violations Of
long and short haul provisions. The
advances on coarse grain and wheat
from South Dakota Omaha, Neb., were
condemned.

seen many people in different parts
OF the country, and many have come
to me here. They have discussed the
availability of different eminent Dem
ocrats for the honor of standard
bearer of the party next year. While
there were words Of praise for every
one mentioned, and it was extremely
gratifying to me as Democrat to
observe the quantity and high quality
OF tue Canditates- suggested, what
most struck me-and most agreeably,
I will have to confess-was the fact
that while all others were deemed
entirely worthy of the lordship of
the white house, objections here and
there were found for one reason and
another to every man of them except
Champ Clark.
Liked by South and West.
i don't believe anybody knows bet
ter than do the wholesome strength
Of the Missourian with the people in
the middle west, the far west and
the south. all Of which have recent
ly traversed. There, as we'll as here,
the impedimenta remarked as obvious
with respect to other excellent DEM
<|rats as candidates became invisi-
tNwhen Champ Clark's name was
Nsd. Even those who advocated
ah man cheerfully admitted that
If ,puld not get their choice no
body lid suit them better than
Champ $ X.
When come to look at the sit
uation thu tfully and dispassion-
Stely, at y,,yaa you s,s to realize that
ageous position Under his speaker
ship Of the house of Representatives
the Democratic party has presented
an unbroken front and such degree
of harmonious performance as are
absolutely without precedent. 1t is
largely because, while he is a man
of strong and consistent conviction,
he Is fair man, kind man, and q
magnantmous adversary. He Is the
rarest combination, too, of the college
and the cornfeld lawyer. He is the
kind of man the great masses Of the
American people delight to honor
with the best within their gift, for
they are sure Of him; sure Of his
great heart beating always in SYM
pathy with their needs and aspira-
tions.
Party Owes Him Debt.
He has been farmland, a coun-
try store clerk, country editor,
teacher and college president, a law
yer, defending the unfortunate and
prosecuting the guilty. He has been
eighteen years congressman and
many years one of the most popular
speakers on the American rostrum.
Naturally he knows the people and
naturally they know him. AS mat
ter of course all like him and many
love him not only for his sterling
qualities, but admire him for the
wonderful good sense with which he
has risen to the great responsibility
his party recently imposed upon him.
His further advancement is inevitable.
What the Democratic party most
needs to insure success at the polls
is harmony in the convention which
will represent all the states. Champ
Clark has proved q master promoter
and commander Of harmony. The
party in convention assembled will
owe him so great debt Of gratitude
for this very reason that 1t will be
Obliged to hand him the prize next
year.
There is no fog about Champ
Clark, no clouds lowering over his
house. He has brought reviving sun
shine to Democratic ranks every
where. And I say. as many other
Democrats will be saying, more pow
er to- hint"

CANADIAN PACT
HAS hit A SNAG
Opponents May Load Agree.
ment Down With Riders
and Amendments

Washington, May 26.-Notwith-
standing the general confidence ex-
pressed by supporters of President
Iafts administration that the Cana
dian trade agreement will be approv-
ed by the senate within a reasonable
time, there is no mistaking the in
dustry with which the opponents of
the measure are working. They are
now confidently predicting that radio
al amendments will be made to the
measure which will defeat it in the
senate or make it obnoxious to the
Canadian government.
1t is admitted by members Of the
committee that the amendments sug-
gested by Senator Root of New York
relating to the wood pulp and print
paper paragraph in the agreement
Dill has created a profound interest.
A Republican senator from the
west who is opposed to the agree
ment. said today: II wonder II the
great newspapers of the country
would be enthusiastic of the approval
OF agreement if they should discover
that the provision relating to free
pulp and paper is certain to be de-
feated regardless of whether the
agreement bill shall finally be ap-
proved"
1t is plain to be seen at this time
that 1t is the purpose of the OPPOSE
ton to the Canadian agreement bill
to add the Root amendment as an
entering wedge for other amend
ments to destroy the agreement in
the senate A long list of radical
tariff amendments had been prepared
by Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota. which he intends Offering hoD.
ing to obtain the votes of Democrafo
and insurgents in order to embarrass
the high protection senators who are
supporting the Canadian agreement.

THE VALUE OF THE CRITIC
PRESS AGENT TO THE
ACTOR OR ACTRESS.

why is it tnat the road is so hard
Tor the ambitious actor or actress who
think, when in their ameteur davs
that they are as great as the far
famed old heads who had travelled the
same road ahead of them some ten.
fifteen or twenty years, and then were
considered no more than an amateur
First, because they lacked knowledge
OF the press agent, the man who can
make you or break you, the man who
can, with just few words of print
ruin the greatest of chances for the
uprising amateur, and without the as
slstance of critic or press agent it
would be folly for the coming actor
or actress to proceed. Take the case
of Bert Williams and partner the late
deceased George Walker. When they
flrst started out they had there ups
and downs until they ran across a live
press agent on one of the San Fran
cisco papers. They were playing lit
tie theaters, and doing odd stunts get
ting very little money. But they hap
pened upon this agent, showed him
what they could do. He writes them
up In great style and ever since they
have been famous. And many others
gained fame through the agent And
the amateur must never conceive the
1dea that he or she can go successful
ly along and please the people without
the assistance of the agent and critic,
as they are far more able to see the
good and bad points in you. than you
are able to do yourselves.

HIP, HIP, DENVsR's GOING TO
OPEN UP THE BOXING GAME.

1t would be cruel blow if the story
should prove untrue, but nevertheless
we are all hopeful. At the last meet
ing of the Fire and Police Board it
was rumored that the City and Coun-
ty OF Denver would be allowed to open
up the game of boxing, limiting the
bouts to ten rounds, the same as in
Missouri, where that law was passed
some few days ago. Well, we can on
ly wait and hope that this is true
rumor, for II so, We are going to be
able to make three or four colored
champions for the ring; and all as
plrants should not hesitate, but start
their training at the R. M. A. Club,
where they have one of the best gym
nasiums in the city.
