Here's another version of that Hill, Outlook story of last week, that is calcu- lated to make the whole thing look like an invention. The Meriden Journal says that when Washington cores pondent asked our Congressman Hill What's the outlook }" the Congressman replied: "Damn the Outlook! I don't read it." One reason why the story smells fishy is the fact that Congressman Hill never says ''damn."

Folk has just learned to his sorrow
that Champ and the others had their
fingers crossed when they passed that
endorsement.
Champs triumph over Folk will not
yield him any lasting nourishment, in
the opinion of careful observers.
Champ is a favorite son, and all

say that a plan was agreed upon to
turn the delegation over to Harmon
should it develop that Clark can't win,
but If there is such a scheme, it is be-
ing kept very dark.
The Clark and Harmon allies, aided
by Folks enemies among the brewery
and public service corporation inter
ests, were able to show such a for
midable front at the recent state con-
vention at Joplin that Folk withdrew.
He hasn't made any complaint, but
his friends say that if man was ever
double-crossed, Folk is the man.
Back in 1904 Folk was elected gov
ernor with a lead of 10000 Roose-
welt carried the state by $4,000. These
figures show how strong Folk stood
with the people of the state. In 1908
Folk ran for the United States senate
against William J. Stone, but the al
lies beat him. Two years later there
was another senatorial campaign, and
in order to keep Folk out of the race,
some of the organization leaders prom

was endorsed for the presidency al

st. Louis, March 2.-One would nat
urally think that Champ Clark would
feel quite placid about the situation in
Missouri, now that Senator Stone has
put the boots to Joe Folk and steam
rolled out a solid delegation to the
democratic convention for speaker.
Not so. There's a fly in Champs
soup, and it's enough to spoil the most
robust appetite.
Champs term in congress is about
to expire. II he wants it again, he'll
have TO declare himself by June 10,
two months before the primaries, and
two weeks before the national conven-
ton. To do this means an embarrass-
ing acknowledgement that Champ is
weak as a presidential factor. To fail
to declare himself would put him out
Of the congressional race and out of
public life entirely if someone else
wins at Baltimore. So Champ proba-
bly, will run for the two jobs at once.
Since Speaker Clark is the states
favorite son, the bulk Of Missouri po-
litical news has to do with the for
tunes of the democrats. To give the
republicans a quick summary:
Roosevelt, in the opinion of his enc
emies, even, can beat Taft in the race
for delegates and if nominated can
carry the state against Wilson or
Clark or any other democrat. Every.
body acknowledges the colonel to be
tremendously popular. Governor Her
bert s. Hadley, very able and very
expert political general, is for Teddy
and will do him a lot of good. Even
the federal oficeholders are beginning
to turn to Roosevelt in the belief that
/ he is TO be the winner
Joe Folk is apparently done for. The
public service corporations and the
brewery interests are determined thai
he shall never again hold an impor
tant public Office, and should he by
hook or crook ever get nominated fol
congress or anything, the interests
in the Missouri democratic party will
stick him full of knives.

us Roosevelt q Menace to the Re-
public" was the topic of a lecture de-
livered Sunday afternoon by NJ. NJ
Mangasarian before the Independent
Religious society in Studebaker thea
trc. Chicago. Taking the affirmative
side of the question, he said:
Theodore Roosevelt has declared
his readiness to accept the presidency
of this country for a third term. This
gentleman has demonstrated his abil-
ity to do many difficult things. But
there is one difficult thing to which he
does not seem to be equal: He can
not endure private life.
Immediately after the expiration of
his term as president he arranged for
a hunting trip, and his daily encoun-
ters with beasts of prey in the wilds
of Africa kept his name constantly be-
! fore the public. When he had cleared
the forests he picked up his rife and
started after the kings and emperors
of Europe; the pope was the only man
| he could not bring down
HOPES EYES Will BE OPENED.
Returning to this country he at
once plunged into the midst of a hot
political campaign. Having selected
the man he wished made governor of
New York he took the stump for him
and possibly also for himself. And
now the approaching presidential cleo
ton has so stirred the blood in his
veins that he is eager once more to
enter the race. Mr.. Roosevelt has
done many services 10 this country,
and / hope that the country will in
turn do Mr.. Roosevelt the service OF
opening his eyes to the blessings OF
private life
Even if Theodore Roosevelt were
the only man qualified TO be the
president of this country, in my non
partisan and altogether impartial judg
ment it would be better for the coun
try to have a lesser man for president
than to put Roosevelt in power for the
third time. If candidates fitness fol
the Office is the important thing, why
not keep a good president in the
White house all his life? But oul
form OF government will not ALLOW

that the people ought TO be at Hbert.
