CHAMP CLARK,

He came from old Missouri where
plums and pawpaws grow, and he
has hoed and weeded in the long po-
tato rows, he's sweated in the corn
fields with old and rusty tools, and
he has quoted language to cheer his
lazy mules. Now in his high posi-
ton he'll doubtless make mistakes,
for he is no more than human who
guiltless of breaks, but you may bet
your whiskers this yeoman from the
west will tighten up his gallus, and
always do his best. And you may
bet doughnut that Champ Clark
will never rise to be so high and
mighty, his head against the skies,
that he'll forget the workers who
tinker with the soil that he will hand
the ice tongs to the sweating sons of
toll. He came from old Missouri, he
came from Bowling Green, and in his
composition there is nothing cheap
or mean. He's big and strong and
manly, and in the hour of test, what
ever may befall him, he's sure to do
his best.-Walt Mason in Emporia

SENATOR BROWNS REASONS.

Senator J. D. Brown, Of Leon, who
voted against submitting to the vot-
ers of the state the proposed amend
ment to the constitution of Iowa to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquor in Iowa, made a
written statement explaining his
vote, which statement was published
in the senate journal. 1t was as fol-
lows:
81 am of the opinion that the
state of Iowa has the best liquor laws
of any state in the union. Each
community under the law has the
authority to decide the question of
the sale thereof in an orderly manner
would not vote to take away sin
gle feature of the law under which
the sale Of liquors would be forced
into communities opposed thereto,
and will vote for all legislation which
will promote true temperance.
LAS republican l am fearful that
the injection of this question into
our political contest might result in
the turning over of the legislative
authority to our opponents, who, I
believe, are less likely to protect the
temperance laws than we are"

OUR CANADIAN KINDRED.

Champ Clark may not have been
diplomatic in expressing publicly the
hope that President Taft's proposed
reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada would be a
step toward political union of the
two countries, but the hearty ap-
plause with which his utterance was
greeted by his fellow congressman of
both political parties showed that he
had put into words the common feel
ing of patriotic Americans. The peo-
pie OF Canada are of our own blood
and kin. They are offsprings of the
same Western European nations
which founded these colonies and es-
aablished the republic. A very large
proportion of Canadians are of
American descent About $4,000
American loyalists gave up their
bones, their property and old asso-
Citations for the sake of their British
allegiance, and found refuge in the
Canadian wilderness. The flourish
Sshing Province of Ontario, with it's
capitol, Toronto. was virtually Gre
Ated by Americans who settled there
during and just after the revolution
The list of 1oyalists who made their
homes in Canada reads like a roll
call of Knickerbockers, Puritans,
Pilgrims and Southern cavaliers. In
Toronto today, the names on signs
continually suggest the old American
stock, and the city itself, like some
other Canadian cities and towns, is
= monument of enterprise and en-
ergy truly American. 1t is no wonder
that the American heart, the bitter
ness of the revolution long forgotten,
yearns for the handclaps of our
brethren beyond the Lakes and the
st. Lawrence.
There is no thought of compulsion
in the American hope and wish for
Canadian accession to our union.
The canadians have the right to re-
main as they are, or to become an in
dependent nation, should they and
Great Britain so agree. When, if
ever, they join the United States, it
will be of their own free will, and on
their own application.-Hen Mann
in the Columbian.

ASK THE INSURGENTS,

The press of the country is filled
with inquiries and speculations as
to the probable fate of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement. This news
paper has received many requests
for information on the subject
In answer we call attention to the
situation in the senate, where some
fifteen or twenty insurgents hold the
balance of power.
With the senate so balanced the
fate of Canadian reciprocity evil
IDENTIFY depends on the attitude of the
insurgents.
For years Messrs, La Toilette,
Cummins and the rest have made
tariff reduction their chief political
asset. They often justify their in
surgency on the ground that the
Payne-Aldrich tariff is not "revis-
ion downward"
So, if these gentlemen were truth
full, they would be now for the Can
adam reciprocity agreement. 1t gives
what they have been clamoring for
reduction. But, strange to
say, these gentlemen talk as if they
would not be for Canadian reciproc-
NY NuSu IL tOl1eS W d VOLe.
So what the question comes down
to is, simply this:
If Messrs. Cummins, La Toilette
and the rest of the insurgents shift
their prnciples-if they demon
strate that all their anti-tariff clam
ors have been simply cries to win
the Canadian reciprocity
agreement will be defeated.
If, on the other hand, Messrs. La
Toilette, Cummins and the rest have
been sincere in their anti-tariff out
cries-if they stick to their princi-
pies and vote as they have talked on
the stump for years-we shall have
reciprocity with Canada.
So, in reply to all inquiries as to
what is going to happen to Canadian
reciprocity, we are obliged to an
swer:
Don't ask US; ask the insurgents.

On the first of May, 1910, Senator
Bourne, of Oregon, made a most re-
narkable speech upon the direct
primary election law which has been
in operation in his state for the past
few years. Oregon, said the senator,
is the best governed state in the
world, and the elections cost the
least money, honesty and manhood
are at a premium while in many
other states just the reverse is true.
AS evidence that the people are now
interested in better form of gov
srnment 100000 of the first speech
of Senator Bourne have been applied
FOR to be used in the United States
and 10000 to be used in Canada. It
looks now like the election bribe
methods might soon be relocated
The stand pat crowd still hold on to
the old corrupt form and the few of
the progressives who gained their
own election by questionable meth
DDS will stand opposed to the rule of
the people.

Why has not the government done
anything for the laboring class, is a
pertinent question, when .nine-tenths
of the people of this country are
among the laboring class? They
want to know and want to know bad
ly. They point to the fact that whole
departments of the government, and
especially the diplomatic department
are devoted to assisting the business
man, the banker and the manufac-
turer, and not even a bureau tries to
increase the wealth of the workers.
There is department called the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
but it is all commerce and labor re-
ceives none of it's attention.
The diplomatic department keeps
an agent in every business center
and port Of the world whose whole
time is given for the benefit Of trusts
and corporations that have goods for
sale, telling them the sort of goods
that will find market there, how
they should be packed, the price that
can be obtained, by what lines they
can be shipped, the credit that must
be extended, what sort of agents
should be sent, the language in
which correspondence must be car
ried on, the manner of the collection
of payment, the character of the
competition existing, the products of
the country that can be imported
and every other sort of information
that a seller of any kind of goods,
from the makers of chewing gum to
the manufacturers of locomotives
would want to know. But there is
not one office, except those estab-
lished by states, that is giving the
laborer any assistance as to where
he can sell his labor to advantage,
or is devoted to furthering his in
terets in any way.
Men who do not come in friendly
contact with those who do the work
of the world have little knowledge If
how much these things are talked
among them, or what a powerful ef-
feet it is going to have on future
elections. TIL csc masses are looking
to democratic congress to increase
the purchasing power of their wages
by lowering the tariff on the neces-
stiles of life. That would be doing
for labor, and it will be
done by the coming democratic con-
gress.-St. Joe Observer.

DEMOCRATS TAKE CRACK AT
CARROLL'S VETO.
Believe Vote on That Measure Re-
fected Honest Judgment of Gem
eral Assembly.

The democrats of the Iowa legis-
lature, in caucus recently, took an
other crack at Governor Carroll for
his veto of the Smith-Klay bill pro-
viding for the Oregon plan of elect
ing United States senators.
In the resolutions adopted the
democrats point out that since Gov
ernor Carroll vetoed the Oregon plan
bill the states of Kansas, New Hamp-
shire, California and Minnesota,
through legislatures overwhelming
ly republican, have passed Oregon
plan bills.
The resolutions of condemnation
of the governors action, as adopted
by the democrats, follow:
We, the democrats Of the Thirty
fourth general assembly, in caucus
assembled, take this means, in addi-
tion to heretofore recording our
votes, of condemning the veto by
Governor Carroll of the bill proyd-
ing for the advisory selection of
United States senator by direct vote
of the people.
This measure passed the general
assembly by vote of SO to II in
the house and the senate by vote
of 81 to Is.
We believe this vote reflected the
honest judgment of the general as
sembly. We further believe that the
change in the vote, when the meas
ure was before the house for passage
over the veto, was brought about by
the pressure on members to surrn-
der their convictions and the wishes
Of their constituents, for the pur-
pose of justifying the veto of the
governor
We call the attention of the gov
ernor to the fact that since he inter-
posed his veto, the states of Kansas,
New Hampshire, California and Min
nesota through legislatures over
whelmingly republican, have passed
the Oregon plan for the election of
senators.
We deplore the backward step and
the thwarting of the will of Iowa's
electorate. regardless of political
party.
We further believe that the peo-
pie of Iowa should know that the
great prestige and power of the gov
ernor's office was used to sustain the
veto.
We condemn, unhesitatingly, such
executive action, and make known
the facts in this manner so that the
people of Iowa may know where to
Tx the responsibility for the blow
struck at representative government

A farmer of Franklin county,
Maine, has been giving some testi-
mony in regard to reciprocity and
trusts. He said he recently paid SIS
for plow made in the United States
that could be bought in Canada for
$3.50. And the pillow sold in Canada
at half price was exactly the same
kind of pillow and made by the same
concern as the one he bought. He
said he paid 500 for a cream separ-
ator that was being sold in Canada
for about half that price. And the
separator sold in Canada was exactly
the same kind of separator made
by the same concern as the one he
bought. 1t is strange that the peo-
pie of the United States have patient
ly endured the discrimination made
against them by the trusts so long.
Everybody knows that they sell goods
to the foreigner cheaper than they
will to citizens of the government
that gives them all their privileges

THE DAILY DANGER OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN.

Thirty states make provisions for
physical examination of school chill
dren looking to their general health,
locating cases of defective vision and
general supervision over the health
of the pupils. Ten states have no
such provision. Should Iowa be one
of nine or of thirty-one?
The school is one big family. To
it come the children of all classical
lions of every kind. From every
street and alley the children come to
work together, associate together,
live together five days of eight hours
out of every week. The public
advantages and the danger of infec-
ton from one to the other, of dis
eases neglected or unnoticed by ig-
norant or careless parents is a COM
mon danger to every home and to-
every child.
Four hundred and forty-one cities
out of 5000 examine school chill
dren professionally for transmissable
disease, defective vision, breathing
troubles, defective teeth, take note
of tubercular or anaemic children, CO.
operate with dispensaries or hospit-
ais, have one or more nurses, edu-
cate by home visits and scattering
circulars in the homes and among the
children calculated to give warning
of dangers as serious and infinitely
more prevalent than a live electric
wire
1t is plain common sense and pre-
caution 1t is no more than the SIM
pie care taken bV a man who owns a
drove of hogs.
The medical men of every city, the
women's clubs, mems clubs, and al
truistic, charitable and fraternal or
CARNATIONS could do no more i'm
portant work than to agitate this
very serious condition of school life
and convince communities that the
school children need as much atten-
ton as the farm herd-Marshall-

The family with young children that is
without sickness in the house now and

the head of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise.

doctor, it is true. but in the majority Of
instances, as any doctor knows, the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble,
usually constipation.
There is no sense In giving it pill or
a remedy containing an opiate, nor is
flushing Of the bowels to be always recon-

a mild, gentle laxative tonic like Dr..

Dr.. Bennett has won particularly
an excellent reputation for his sue
cessful handling of the dread hemor-

he was elected by the medical asso-

VACATION DAYS

Wednesday for the term of 1901,
after most successful year. Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday were
devoted to examinations, and on Fri
day morning the pupils will reassem-
Bile at school to get their certificates
and pass cards into the higher grades,
or to receive the doleful news that
they had not passed, but it is not
thought that there will be very many
in the latter class.
The children have done good work
for the past eight months, and are
prepared to enjoy a very happy vaca-
ton. When school closed on We'd
nesday there was a great shout of JOY
from the smaller children, adm a sigh
of relief from the older ones.

dren very happy holiday.

IN the judgment of the city council
the bonds carried in the election held
Tuesday, and steps will be taken to
have the same issued. There is one
thing quite evident-that a sentiment
prevails to have the bonds issued, and
if another election were called we
believe that it would be easy to get
the required majority vote of all the
registered and qualified electors, and
that would clinch the matter. And
while the council is on that subject
it might make the bond issue larger
and include other necessary improve
ments.

HON. JEFFERSON B. BROWNE Wis
ITS OCALA ELKS

Hon. Jefferson Bealle Browne of
Key West arrived in Ocala Wednes-

ing his visit here was a guest at the
Ocala House.
Mr.. Browne is district deputy
grand exalted RULER of the Elks, and
came to Ocala to pay lodge O. 2S6 in
this city an official visit. This spe-
cial meeting was largely attended,
and was followed by a most delight
full smoker
Mr.. Browne is paying his last
round of official visits to various
lodges throughout the state before
his successor is elected at the next
annual convention at Atlantic City.
Mr.. Brown is very beautiful and
fluent talker, and his speech to the
Elks last night was greatly enjoyed
by the lodge. He paid the Ocala
lodge and it's officers a splendid COM
pliment, saying that it compares
most favorably with any of the lodg-
es he abs visited.
Mr.. Browne has great many warm
friends in Ocala, not only among the
Elks, but other citizens, who are
pleased to see him in Ocala.
