A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT
Editorial in Chicago Examiner Points
out Democracy's Debt to Speaker
Champ Clark.

No Better speech was made at the
Jackson Day banquet in Washington
than that Of Speaker Clark.
1t was sound, practical eloouence.
packed y~magnificent personal ser.
vice and leadership.
He pointed the way clear ana
straight and wasted little time in
scholarly theories.
What Mr.. Clark said of the mart
played in Democratic history by the
Sixty-hrst and Sixty-second Congress
and the extra session Of the sixty.
second Is true by the record.
The history Of the Democratic mi.
nority within the decade is proven of
all men.
At the end Of Bailey's leadership
the minority was in an absolutely de-
moralized condition. John Sharpe
Williams followed Bailey and demon.
allied it still further, until the nation
al Democratic party in Congress had
no standing in the eye Of the nation
or OF the voters throughout the
country
When Champ Clark was elected
leader after Williams the men who
constituted the Democratic represen-
tatlves in Congress were very largely
the same as they had been before.
They were not different in numbers
particularly.
There were still a minority, and
practically the only difference was in
the leadership, and that was Clark.
But that leadership was immensely
important and soon began to be fol.
lowed.
The Democratic representation in
Congress, although a minority, beuan
under the leadership Of Mr.. Clark to
support the good Republican measures
and oppose the bad Republican meas
ures and to Introduce and be respon-
sible for the policies which the PEG.
pie Of the country really wanted, and
soon the people Of the country began
TO realize that there wac a small body
OF men that was doing its best to
represent the people and was really
representing them.
And as soon as the public
thoroughly understood that and had
followed the action Of this Demo
cratic minority long enough to have
confidence not only In les desire to be
right, but In Its judgment and ability
10 do the right thing, they changed
the Democratic minority into a Demo.
Gratis majority for the. first time in
sixteen years.
/ = Now, this was altogether leader
ship, altogether a question Of Judg-
ment. And Champ Clark was the
minority leader.

Chinese Save Men First.

Had the Titanic been a Chinese
vessel. manned by Chinese sailors
not a woman or child would have
been saved. according to Henry Moy
Fot, special agent for the Chinese
Merchants Association of America,
in Cleveland.
1t is the duty of sailors when a
Chinese vessel goes down to save
men, first. children next and
woman last.
This is the theory that men are
most valuable to State. that adop.
tive parents can be found for chill.
dren and that woman without
husbands are destitute.-Huntsville
Herald.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1912-05-02
ror TINS Iast- session we have had

TUT ILLS ldSC SSSslOu we nave mad a
Democratic majority in Congress that
has acted with the same Judgment.
the same broad democracy, the same
devotion to the welfare of the public
and the same ability to discover the
desire of the public that character
lied the conduct of the minority
AS consequence the Democratic
party all over the country has been
strengthened. People have come to
regard the Democratic party as at
once the genuine progressive party
and the sound and Trustworthy party,
the party Of good sense and goca
judgment.
We no longer hear the name OF De-
mocracy linked with free silver and
antI-expansion and the guarantee Of
bank deposits and other peculiar and
personal policies which for a long
time deprived the party Of the support
Of the stable and thinking element Of
the community.
= The sound, Judicious part Of the
progressive programme can now
march forward to success because the
fads and the visionary fsnces have
been eliminated from the programme.
The real progressive measures that
the people want and from which the
people will benefit have been the
measures upon which first the DEM
ocratic minority and then the DEM
ocratic majority centered under the
leadership of MIR. Clark
These facts are very important for
Democrats throughout the country to
consider.
A presidential election is coming
on. The Democrats will have to nom-
mate a candidate, and they want,
first, a candidate who will be able to
win at the polls and be elected Presi-
dent, and, secondly, man who after
he is elected President will make so
creditable an administration that the
party can remain in power and not do
those unbalanced things which will
bring discredit on the administration
and result in the defeat Of the party.
Without rejecting in any way on
the many able candidates that are be-
ing discussed and considered for
nomination for the Presidency by the
Democrats, the Examiner feels that
no man better deserves to be dlseu0
sed and considered than the man
who has proved his ability and
proved his Judgment and proved
his capacity for guiding the national
Democratic party to success.
Who would make q better candidate
than the man who transformed Q
Democratic minority In c 7aress In
to a Democratic majority?
Who would make a better president
than the man who led that Democrat
ic majority in way to satisfy the
whole people of the United States
and make Democratic success in the
next election not only possible, but al
most inevitable.-Chicago Examiner

Johns Grace.

John is small boy. the youngest
of a minister's family.
AS a punishment for some mis-
demeanor at the tablerit was de-
cided that John must not eat with
the family at the next meal.
So his dinner was placed on a
small table at the end of 1.-The dining
room.
When all were seated, the minis
ter said:
Now, John. you should ask a
blessing before you eat"
This was new duty to John,
but he bowed his head and said
reverently:

preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies. Thanks
for the food. Amen" National

Dear Subscriber.

There are several hundred people
who owe us at least one dollar. OF
course one dollar is a small amount
but all that is due us is quite a
sum to Us. We are needing the
money and we need it right NOW
to meet our obligations. Of course
we know that you are good and will
pay but we cannot pay our debts
with what you owe us = unless you
do the right thing and pay up. Our
necessity is the only reason we call
your attention to this matter. Please
do not put us to the unnecessary
expense of having to send you a
dun and if we should send you one
you have no reason to get mad. We
get them and 20 does every other
business man. We will greatly ap-
preciate it if at least 500 people
will each come in with one or more
dollars and please let us have what
is due before you forget it.

The Worlds all Right.
My boy, it's a pretty good world

If you look straight ahead and don't
look behind,
Though it SHOWS sometimes,
And it blows sometimes.
And you think it is flooded with
woes sometimes,
It's a glad old world.
And sad old world
Or bad cid world,
When you make il so.
But just bear in mind, wherever
you 90,
That somewhere the grand old
suns aelowl

And lot of grit
Are the things that label man as

place there.
But you'll find the sunshine is

If you look for it. Chi-k Up! Elate,
