for a year Mr.. Clark went to work
He hired out as a farm hand
clerked in country store, fell tt
editing a. country newspaper and
then moved to Missouri. The fresh
air of Missouri seems to have re-
vivified him as he began practicing
law as soon as he got to that state.
He became city attorney of LOUIS
lana and Bowling Green; deputy
prosecuting attorney and prosecuting
attorney; presidential elector; dele
gate to the Mississippi Con.
gress at Denver; permanent chan
man of the National Democra
convention at St. Louis in 1904;
chairman of the committee that
notified Alton B. Parker that he
was the Democratic nominee for
president and that the st. Louis
convention had adopted the sound
money plank. He is married and
has had four children born to him,
two of whom are now living. He
was elected to the fifty-flrst, fifty
third and to every succeeding Con-
gress to and including the sixty
second Thus and farther goes
,, tho Congressional Dir !.
1t will be seen tn; oe Hon
Champ Clark of Bowling neen has
been quite fellow in his day and
his day is just starting now. He
has been in Congress for nearly 20
years. When the Hon. John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi was elected
to tho United States Senate Mr..
Clark became the minority leader in
the house and heir-apparent to the
speakership in case the Democrats
won the House of Representatives.
| At tho last election the Democrats
got control of the House and in due
time Mr.. Clark was elevated to the
speakership, He has succeeded to
the position made great by Jona-
than Irumbull, Nathanlel Macon,
Henry Clay, Andrew Stephenson,
James X. Polk, Schuyler Colfax,
James G. Blaine, Samuel J. RAN
dali. John G.. Carlisle, Thomas B.
Reed, Charles F. Crisp and Joseph
G. Cannon. He has had before him
an array of ability, patriotism and
nobility of character such as never
filled similar position in the his
tory of tho world. The speakership
has grown with the growth Of the
country. To Thomas B. Reed Is
due the honor or the ignominy Of
having made the position great.

4 Is interests g to reflect, in view
o. We act y. Mr.. Clark is men
toned as a possible nominee for
le presidency, that of the 80 diff
ferent men who have been speaker,
only one, James X. Polk, ever be-
came president of the United
States. If it is ever to come that
another speaker is to succeed to
the presidency, start has to be
made somewhere, and the Hon.
Champ Clark could make a pretty
good start. He will have the sup
port OF Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, provided, of course, that the
Hon. William Jennings does not de-
eide to run again. He is in a big
state, just doubtful enough politi-
cally, to be worth while consider
ing. He would attract support
from the other Mississippi valley
states, most of them. being Repub-
lican. He is a big man and a
strong man. He is the only Demo-
crat who has occupied prominent
position, nationally, since 1896. If
We must have a Democrat let it be
Missouri Democrat, and may
Champ Clark be his name.

THE LEWIS FIAsCO.

Word comes to the Tribune In d
oundabout way that 1t is being
beverley criticised for daring to
uestion the motive and ability of
G. Lewis in his chapter house
rogram. We are also told that
ir. Curtis Hayden, one of the
Prominent lawyers of this city is
lso receiving criticism. The Trib-
ne cannot see why either should be
nbject to adverse comment. Mr..
ayden's only crime is that he hap
ened to live and practice law in
I. Louis for a few years. Incl
entally he became acquainted with
Pc Lewis enterprises. The Tribune
gould urge its readers to devote
heir entire time to this paper. Mr..
layden has been a resident Of

ity squabbles. We do hot blame

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
1t is said that the Sp aker of the
House of Representatives is next to
the President in honor, power, and
responsibility. Assuming, for the
nonce, as Guy Flenner of the States
man says, that the saying is cor
rect, the personality, characteristics
and biography OF the Speaker at
once becomes a matter of interest,".
Ip view of the further fact, that
now in the heyday of his popularity,
as Fred Floed says, this particular
Speaker is frequently mentioned as
presidential possibility, his per-
sonality, characteristics and biog-
raphy becomes at once doubly in
teresting If our premises be cor
ct we need not further apologize
40 what is about to follow.
Pursuant to the proclamation of
President Taft the siXty-second Con-
gresa convened in extraordinary

Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri
Speaker. OF course the Democrats
filled the offices of the house with
Democratic patriots for which we
do not blame them. The personnel
of tho committee was changed to
give the Democrats the majority,
which action also meets with our
approval.
1t is refreshing to read, as Chas
o. BroXou of the Capital News is
wont to say, that tho Hon, Cham
Clark halls from Bowling Green,
Missouri. Now Bowling Green is
not Fiddlors' Green although the
two places ara not far apart. Bow
ling Green really is refreshing. No
ono would suspect an inhabitant of
Bowling Green to be a dead game
sport, four flusher or a high flyer,
and you can take 1t from us, the
Hon. Champ Clark has never BE-
trayed the rurality of his constit-
uency. Tho Congressional Direc-
tory further informs us that the
Hon, Champ was born in Anderson
county, Ky, March 7, 1850. Conse-
quently through his veins flows the
blue grass of the old Kentucky home
and he is undoubtedly a lineal des-
cendent of Daniel Boone. lie was
educated in all tho public schools
of Kentucky, Kentuck University,

School. From 1873 to 1874 was
president of Marshall College, West
Virginia. By becoming president
of a college at the age Of % Mr.,
Clark became the champion-for-age

States. This championship belt the
Hon. Champ proudly wore for TWEEN
ty-two years In his biography he
fails to mention the name of the
man who succeeded to tho honor.

PROMINENT MEN IN TRo1rR1E

The Tribune can see no reason
why~the press or the public should
waste much sympathy on the six
prominent Idaho business men who
were indicted at Spokane for using
the mails for fraudulent purposes.
1t is said in their defence that they
knew not of what was going on.
That is the reason they deserve no
sympathy. They gave tLeir names.
regulations and prestige to pro-
noting game of which they were
ignorant. Probably a little stock
was given each of these men for the
use of his name and prestige that
the innocent and ignorant might be
beguiled out of their hard earned
savings. That is all there is to it
and there is no way of them escap-
ing censure. That they were very
prominent and wealthy makes them
all the more culpable. The moral
awakening tho American people
have experienced the past decade is
bearing fruit and those of careless
rectitude will surely suffer.
A few years ago Senator Joseph
r. Burton was forced to resign as II
United States senator, as he could
not represent Kansas to the best
advantage while living at Leavens-
worth. Senator Burton was found
guilty of accepting fees for appearing
before government departments
while a United States senator Hun
dreds of men had done the same
thing time without number before
Senator Burton. Their offences
had passed unnoticcd He was I'M
fortunate in selecting tho timo for
making n little easy money. SO It is
with tho men In Idaho today.
Doubtless thousands of other prom
lnent and substantial business men
have done what these very men did
and escaped unscathcd. They
probably accepted stock, or connected
themselves with tho enterprise
thoughtlessly. Wo do not believe
that hard-hoaded business men would
have put good money into an enter
prise of which they knew nothing.
We do not believe that they could
have gotten stock for nothing with
out knowing that they were sup
posed to indirectly pay for that
stock. We cannot SEQ that they
are much better than the promoter,
himself. Using tho mails for fraud
ulent purposes Is not the worst
offence these men are charged with
and stand convicted in the eyes of
the home. Every word and in their
defense, so far. proves them guilty
of the charge of graft. Graft is an
accretion of wealth, power or posi-
ton. that comes to you by virtue of
your being or doing something else.

If your Stomach is lacking in diges-

but reinforcement of digestive
agents. such are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
take little Diapepsin occasionally. and
there will be no more Indigestion, no
feeling like a lump of lead in the stom-
ach. no heartburn. Sour rsings. Gas
on Stomach or Belching of undigested

Stomach. and. besides, what you eat
will not ferment and poison yor-

generally relieved in five minutes aztec
taking a little Dapepsin.
| Go to your druggist and get a 90
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now.
