'In conclusion, l say to you, in ali

BRYAN OPPOSES CLARK

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25.-Speaker
Champ Clark is unequal to the task
of acting as Democratic house leader,
in the opinion of w. j. Bryan, who,
in an article in the forthcoming issue
of the Commoner, deplores the SEEM
ing absence of an available man to
marshal the forces of the progressive
majority.
Speaker Clark, Mr. Bryan complains.
is too much bent on harmony to be
positive force for good; in fact, he
says, is a negative quantity.
Representative Underwood, he adds.
has gained undue prominence be-
cause he has been allowed to speak
for the Democratic majority and has
led the party into surrenders which
embarrass it.

Those who were so fortunate as to
attend the presentation of THE Cho-

"The Chorus Lady" should have a
different name, This suggests an ag-

rattle-brained squads and the Ger
tainty of disgrace should plot for
the play be discovered; but on the
contrary the play is. a strong one with
a plot that is full of heart interest and
depicts the efforts of a chorus girl to
save her innocent young sister from

CANAL SYSTEM OF MARS
IS UNDERGOING CHANGES

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Nov. 25.--New
canals have appeared on Mars in the
Sabacus Sinus and Mare Icarium.
They were seen at the Lowell OBJ
servatory for the first time on No
vember q and were photographed the
same evening
The observatory records now ex-
tend through a whole cycle and more
of Mars oppositions, furnishing proof
that these canals in their present con-
dition were not there before.
In appearance the new canals are
narrow straight lines like the canals
generally, and connect at pivotal
points with the rest of the system.
Two of them make eros sover the
zero of Martian longitude. The neigh
borhood of the Thoth has also greatly
changed in character.
These conspicuous new features
show strikingly that the canal system
is an active one, in process of change
and development at the present mo-
ment
