CHAMP CLARK

The Honorable Champ Clark, of
Missouri, who is the speaker of the
House of Representatives, has been
doing bit of speaking, and to a
very good purpose, indeed.
What more natural than that he
should hit upon the South and its
reckoning opportunities? He visited
Chicago the other day, and would
talk to the numerous reporters that
besieged him about nothing else.
Incidentally this may be cited as
one of the fruits of the recent Com
mercial Congress-it has set every
body thinking and talking about the
South.
Mr.. Clark paraphrased for the
reporters Greeley's ancient advice
about the West into Go South, my
boy; 90 South" Now, the para
phrase is not original with Mr. Clark
in fact, it has marked a trend in
the nations development for the last
quarter of a century; but it has been
impressed upon Mr.. Clark with re-
newed force, and it is being inn
pressed upon thousands, both in
the United States and abroad.
The South is the place, and my
advice is to go there" declared Mr..
Clark. You won't eat as much as
you do here IN the North. If you
do, you'll die. Your clothing must
be lighter and, therefore. less expen-
sive; you won't have to buy fuel to
speak of, and you can allow your
