SET GOOD EXAMPLE
That's What Champ Clark
Says of Democrats.
REDEEMED EVERY PROMISE
Speaker Of House Praises Party in
Review of Work Of Congress.
SEES VICTORY NEXT YEAR.
Declares Record Is One in Which to
Be Proud and Predicts Sweep Of
Country in 1912.
REDEEMED EVERY PROMISE
SEES VICTORY NEXT YEAR

Champ Clark. Speaker of the House
of Representatives. in review of the
work of the first session of the Sixty
second Congress. declared that the
democratic party set a good example
for democrats everywhere, and that the
party had redeemed every promise 1T
made in the campaign of 1910, when
the democrats wrested control of the
House from the republicans
AT this session the, democrats have
made a record which has surprised
our friends and dumfounded our enc
miles," said Speaker Clark. 'It has
put heart and hope into democrats
everywhere. The entra session was
extraordinary, not only in the sense
of being a special session called by
the President but also in the amount
and quality of the work done in the
House by the combined democrats and
insurgents, and the combined demo-
Gratis and republican insurgents in the
Senate, and especially by the una
nimity Of action developed by the
House democrats.
1T was predicted freely, vociferous-
ly. enthusiastically and confidently by
the 'Stand-pat press and orators that
we would go to pieces. On that ac-
count and by reason of that hope they
rejoiced that the extra session Of Con-
gress was called, so that we might go
to pieces at the earliest possible date.
But we have sorely disappointed all
their expectations. They even set the
date when We would go to pieces.
which was the day of the democratic
caucus, January 19, but unfortunately
for them in that caucus everything
was done unanimously. The next
morning. when they found we had
agreed in spite of their malicious pre-
dictions to the contrary, they had to
pinch themselves to see IL they were
awake
Evening star., 1911-08-22
More Thoroughly United Now.

They then said surely we would go to
pieces as soon as we reached the tariff
question, but again they were doomed to
disappointment, and we did not go to
pieces at all. We are more thoroughly
united in the House at the end of the
session. if possible, than at the begin
ming.
I'VE have set a good example to DEM
ocrats everywhere. Sneered at for years
as a party of mere negation and as
being utterly lacking in ability for con-
structive craftsmanship, we passed
through the House more constructive
legislation. and better, than has passed
through any House in the same length
of time in twenty years. We have SET
the pace in that regard for future
houses
I'VE redeemed every promise made in
order to carry the elections of 1910. We
have economical: we passed the reci-
list bill, the cotton bill with the Senate
amendments, which included the iron and
steel schedule and the chemical schedule;
we submitted for ratification a constitu-
uonal amendment providing for popular
election of senators of the United States;
we passed a bill for the publication OF
campaign expenses before the election
we lberalized the rules, making the COM
mittees elective by the House; we passed
a resolution to admit New Mexico and
Arizona, and We passed large number
of other bills of more or less Importance
1t is a record of which we may well be
proud and on which we will sweep thu
country in 1912.

Negroes Prayer for Rain

Last Sunday colored preacher who
is noted for his eloQuence was re-
quested to pray for rain. Being of
an accommodating disposition, he
readily consented and offered the
variegated and unique. He said in
part:
''ThOw knowest, Oh Lord, that we
is havin' de worst drouth heah that /
even saw. De craps is all dryin' up,
de watah millions is wilted on de
vine, sweet 'taters is about all killed.
de streams is about stopped runnin',
an famine is about to bust forth in
all it's fury. De whole lam is as dry
as an ornery, unconverted niggah in
prohibition town, an, somethin'
rally mus be done or thy servants
will all perish.
Now what we need is good soak
in rain an we implore thee to hear
our prayers an turn de flood gates of
Heaven loose. De time has gone by
when de gentle dew will do any
good. We don't want any gentle
showers with rainbows and twitterin'
DlIuS, HOT any SlZZlySOZZy SpTlnk les.
but we want regular rip snortin',
gully washin' gravel-heaven', trash
movin, root sarchin' down pouring

clouds burst an send us a rain that

Those who imagine Kansas ha
been torrid this summer should read
this from an Oskaloosa paper, taken
from its files of August, 1860: "On
Monday afternoon last this region of
Kansas was visited by so-extraordin-
airy windstorm as to seem out of
the course of nature, except on the
burning deserts of Africa. So sud
denly did the storm come up, and so
hot was the wind that many persons
at first supposed that some building
was on fire. Others thought the
weather was very warm, closed the
doors and windows to keep out the
scorching air. For some time in
mates of our dwelling took refuge
in the cellar from the oppressive heat
of the almost scalding wind. The
leaves of plants were literally parch-
ed and killed, as if by some heavy
frost. Three years ago the wind at
times blew very warm about the mid
die of the day, but never before has
it been our misfortune to experience
such severe blast of heated air.

Grasshopper Poison

About the best poison for grass
hoppers of which we have any know
ledge is what is known as the Criddle
mixture, which is used in Canada sue
cessfully. 1t is made as follows:
Take about 100 pounds of horse
droppings; mix this with two pounds
of salt and pound OF Paris green.
Five ten-quart pals will measure
about 100 pounds. Put the Paris in
about half pail of water and stir
this well before adding the mixture.
Add more water if necessary in order
to have the mixture we'll moistened
Then use shovelful of this mix
ture for every two square rods. Keep
live stock out of the field. 1t is said
that there is no danger to poultry,
but it might be as well to use it
away from the poultry yards. This
on the authority of Il. L. Webster,
assistant entomologist of the Iowa
State College.
The remedy for next years grass
hoppers is to pillow the ground where
the eggs are laid late in September or
October, turning the nests under to a
depth of four or five inches. They
will inevitably be found in hard
ground. Don't pillow until the grass
hoppers are done Wallace's
Farmer.

Another thing / don't put much
stock in is this thing of burying the
Ratchet among lot of people. 1t is
all right for enemies to get together
and kiss and make up. But / notice
that nine times out of ten when
enemies have buried the Ratchet they
always mark the place. Then they
will hide arouud the corners and
watch the other fellow to see if he is
sneaking around to dig it up. In
politics is where the Ratchet is bur-
led as a regular diversion. The whole
state of Kansas is plowed up every
year by politicians and reformers
burying the Ratchet. One regiment
of them no sooner gets over the hill
than along comes another one, and
amid loud acclaims they exhume the
sacred relic of peace. You know
what one side inters the Ratchet for
don't you? Well it is simply to get
votes. That's exactly the reason the
other side digs it up. l have watch
ed these solemn professions for years,
and while / try to keep my face
straight during the ceremony, l al
ways stick my mug into my arm and
smile.-Osborne Farmer.

NEW ERA FOR THE ERIE; PROM
ISING FUTURE OF THIS II. .R.

Some persons may not believe
that the Erie has future" says an
optimistical scribe, but, as matter
of fact, it has one of the most prom
Using futures of any standard rail-
road in the country. The money
that formerly went into the pock-
cts of the wreckers who several times
sent the Erie into bankruptcy is
now, under an able and honest man
agement, going into the property,
and, while stockholders will have to
wait for returns, they may rest as
sured that when dividends are declar-
ed the company will be financially
and physically able to maintain them.
Mr.. Underwood and his directors
have decided for the present to de-
vote every dollar in excess of fixed
charges for improvement purposes.
For the last eight months the Erie's
gross earnings exceed those in the
corresponding time in the year be-
fore by S1,275,000 and net by more
than $312,000, the total net for the
period being large enough more than
to meet the fixed charges for the en-
tire year.
There was time few years ago
when even the Morgan interests lost
faith in Erie, and were about to let
the property go into receivers hands,
but e. H. Hartman thought so we'll
of the road that he went into his own
pocket for the money that preserved
the company's solvency. 1t is not an
easy thing to build up a railroad that
has been bled for years by financial
buccaneers and loaded with mort
cages the proceeds of which have not
found their way into the property,
but the Erie, which has been so bad
ly treated in the past, is now in the
hands of men who have the record
of being builders rather than de-
stroyers. - New York Press.

A Miuhty Appetite.


We eat. but we no longer stuff. The
great stuffes of the past are dead
What of that seventeenth century
Kentish man Nicholas Wood, for ex-
ample, who would eat a whole hog at
a sitting and follow it up the next day
with thirty dozen pigeons? Withal
this possessor of "Kentish stomach"
was a sportsman. AS proof of this
there is that record of his challenge to
Taylor, the water poet, to "eat at one
time as much black pudding as would
reach across the Thames at any place
to be fixed by Taylor himself between
London and Richmond" Well might
old Fuller moralize over that appetite
of Woods. Let us raise our graft
tude." he said, "to the goodness of
God, especially when he giveth us ap
petite enough for our meat and yet
meat too much for our appetite."-
