CHAMP CLARK DEFENDS
POLITICIANS HONESTY
SAYS MAJORITY OF PROMINENT
PUBLIC MEN ARE ON THE
SQUARE.

Louisiana, Mo-, Sept. 11.-Prefacing
an address in which he dealt with
vital problems facing the American
people, Speaker Champ Clark today
told his friends and neighbors, at his
homecoming celebration something
of the struggles of his early days and
the ties which bound him to Missouri
soil.
He told of teaching school thirty
six years ago. Warming to his sub
ject, the speaker made plea for
more politics and more politicians,
and forcefully asserted that upright
and honest politicians are the rule,
and not the exception, in America
In conclusion Speaker Clark pleaded
for more enlightenment on the real
political facts, and said:
q am an optimist, not pessimist
1t is better to look upon the bright
side of things than the dark. A ju
bilate is more pleasant music that {
miserere. 1t surely must be that 8;
million Americans, habituated to fre'
institutions, will not permit those in
stitutions to perish from the earth.

THE AMERICANS ARE Fleeing
FOREIGNERS ARE BEING AFFORD
ED AMPLE PROTECTION BUT
ARE TAKING NO RISKS

Washington, Sept. 11.-Blood has
been spilled in SEE Chuen, China, and
the situation has grown rapidly in
seriousness. Over twenty rioters and
number of soldiers have been killed
in battle during the last few days, re
sulting from attacks of dissatisfied
natives on the Yamen the residence
of Cheng Tu and the viceroy of Sze
Chuen. This information reached the
state department today.
Reports to the department indicate
that the American women and chill
dren have already left Cheng Tu un-
der escort and it is thought that 9TH
ers also have departed.
With 10000 soldiers Tuan Fang,
director of the imperial railways,
left Hankow for the disturbed prov
ince on Saturday. Other forces are
being collected on the SEE Chuen bor-
der.
To investigate the situation, which
is threatening to Americans. United
states Consul Pontius left Hankow
Saturday night for Chang King. The
gravity of the conditions and the fear
full possibilities of the mammoth up
rising have brought the central gov
ernment of China to a quick decision
to suppress the trouble with strong
hand. On Thursday the ringleaders
of the agitation were arrested by the
viceroy of the province. This inflam-
ed their followers and resulted in a
vicious attack on the Yamen by the
mob. The soldiers on guard fired in
to the rioters, killing about twenty of
them. The mob returned and, in a
subsequent assault on the viceroy's
residence, slew a number of the
troops.
Latest news in regard to the condi-
ton is unobtainable as the telegraph
wires between Cheng Tu and Chung
King have been cut. The political
and economic ills of China are not
all, for her troubles continue through
the ravages of nature. Twenty seven
counties in Northern Anhewi and the
Kiang Su provinces have been devas
tated by the floods Of the uncontrol
liable Yang Use. The government
has appropriated $47O,OOO for relief
purposes.

Catholic high school in the brooklyn
diocese was opened to students To-Day.
Heretofore pupils graduating from the
parochial schools could obtain a high
school training under Catholic aus
pices at one of the Catholic colleges

expense associated with this was in
most cases prohibitive the young folks
had to choose between going into
business or entering a public school.
The new institution is under the di-

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE nature of Ger.
manys reply to the proposals sub
mitted by France regarding the Nor.
ocean problem has affected French
government circles unpleasantly. The
proposals will be referred to special
lists on Moroccan questions.
Germany asks, it appears, that
every claim of German subjects to
concessions in Morocco shall be re-
cognized by France. and that no new
enterprise shall be started under the
French protectorate without being
internationalized equally. The Ger.
man terms also ask for a free hand
in Morocco with conditions that would
according to the French view, deprive
France of all her advantages and
would give Germany privileges in
Morocco beyond those of any power,
even those of France
A semi-official note issued today
says that Minister De Selves has
examined the observations presented |
" the German government in reply
o the French proposals and that be
will take a favorable view
sf the suggestions contained therein
for establishing the economic equal
ity of the powers in Morocco, but that
in opposition to this international
economic equality are privileges de-
sired by Germany alone.

Our object IN the feeding and care
OF the colt should be to secure
sturdy body. hard. strong bone, and
an active. vigorous disposition. In
other words. We want the largest and
strongest development possible at ma
turity. Without the liberal use OF
suitable feeds In combination with
sensible care and management this re-
suit viii be impossible.
To stimulate rapid growth and the
strongest development, the young colt
should be given the opportunity Of eat
ing dry food at an early age. When
one month old he will usually exhibit
an interest In his mothers feed box
at meal time. A good way to encour-
age the colt TO eat Is TO place the
mothers feed box low enough for the
youngster TO reach. In a short time
his capacity will demand a separate
trough and an individual ration.
The demands OF the colt are large
ly for bone and muscle and nerve
building material II is impossible TO
grow tough feet. finty bone. and
strong elastic muscle upon corn and
timothy hay alone. especially when
exercise and pastures are not what
they should be. Prior to weaving the
maximum supply OF the mothers milk
should be sought by judgment in her
work and a plentiful supply OF good
oats and a little bran. II the energies
OF the mother are conserved as much
as possible and II she is naturally a
good mixer we have the most import
ant conditions for rapid growth in the
colt. Add TO this about all the oats
