CHAMP CLARK.
Speaker Declares Every Other Gov
ernment Has Been Liberalized
By Our Example.
CHAMP CLARK.

Detroit has seen and heard Champ
Clark, the picturesque Democratic
leader who succeeded Uncle joe
Cannon as speaker of the national
house Of representatives, and is now
mentioned asa possible candidate Tor
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency That Is, as much of the
population as could squeeze into the
Simpson M. e. church, where he spoke,
Thursday night, under the auspices
OF the Tull Bible class, heard him.
Speaker Clark was not exactly In
fighting trim for his Detroit engage
ment. He missed train connections In
Grand Rapids, and when he arrived
at Milwaukee Junction, over the Grand
Trunk, at o'clock, tired and travel
worn. he was met by delegation or
prominent Democrats and whiskej
away to the church In an automobile.
He took only time to oet into his even
ing "duds@ before launching into Ia.
speech.
1t was a good talk, though, even II
IL wasn't as fiery as some OF the home
folk had looked for. II gave good
insight into the views and character
istics Of the man. and II was extreme
ly optimistic. The topic was, THE
United States of America in the TWEEN
tieth century"
his Is my own lecture, and I'm
going to say what like" said Speak
er Clark, with characteristic frank
ness, at the outset.
He didn't balk even at discussing
politics, and there we're some present
who thought they detected subtle
reference to presidential aspirations
when he said:
'One newspaper man up In New
England. trying TO be funny, declared
that my optimism "a ~ the future or
this country was due to the fact tn.
was going to be elected speaker.
am here to say that I have been
speaker three months and the world
still looks rosy

publicists." He pounded the fragile

lenged the critics Of supreme court to

REPORTS SHOW LOSS IN
METHODIST MEMBERSHIP
Figures are Submitted to Conference
In Toronto Covering the
Entire World.

TORONTO, Oct. 6.--The principal
subject of discussion at yesterdays
session of the Ecumenical Methodist
conference which delegates from all
quarters of the world are attending,
was the decrease In membership OF
the church, which, II was revealed
In the reports submitted has taken
place the world over during the last
decade. ~
The western section, comprising the
Methodist churches In the United
States, Canada and japan, reported
during that period a loss In net mem
bership increase, while the eastern
section, covering the churches In
Great Britain, ireland, France, South
Africa, Australia and the mission field,
showed an absolute loss in member.
ship. ,.sa
In the western section the increase
In members In the decade ending 1891
was 1,261 ,209, while In the last decade
It was only 437,582, the latter increase
being but 10 per cent as contrasted
with the former OF 33 per cent. This
according to H. X. Carol. New York
secretary OF that section, was due To
q decrease In earnestness."
In Great Britain, according to the
Rev. Simpson Johnson, London secre.
tary Of the Westminster Methodist
conference, the various Methodist
bodies gained about 10000 members
during the last 10 years, but in the
last half of the decade there was a
notable decrease, attributable, he
thought, to conditions outside the
church and weakening of forces to
meet changed social conditions"

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM G. FREEMAN.

The play of the golf champion
of the British Empire, and now
the golf champion of the United
States, points a good advertis-
ing moral.
Mr.. Hilton PLANNED for the
play for the American cham
pionship many weeks in advance.
He PRACTICED hitting a golf
p ball with each club until he could
figure how hard he had to hit to
make it travel the distance he
wanted it to go. His play indi-
Gated how METHODICAL and
ACCURATE he is. HE WON
but not until he had fought a
very hard fight-just as an ad-
vertiser must do to win.
1t pays TO STICK TO A
THING-whether it be business
or sport. 1t pays to be pains
taking--to keep travelling in a
straight line. Mr.. Hilton stuck
to it--he was painstaking-he
travelled as straight as he could,
and that happened to be $3.50 of
the time.
Now, before you start to ad-
vertise, PLAN A CAMPAIGN.
Don't be foolish enough to jump
at it without learning how.
Things never 60 right unless you
KNOW how to make them go
right. An occasional good adj
vertisement followed by "foo-
zle" advertisement, and then an
other one, and so on, always
loses out because somebody is
watching to take advantage of
your mistakes. - ...1.
