A GOOD LoosER
Defeat Has No Terror For
Champ Clark.


1t IS my earnest wish THAI
my friends in Missouri and
elsewhere shall give their loyal
and enthusiastic support to the
Democratic ticket nominated
at Baltimore. | have already
pledged my personal support to
Governor Wilson and Governor
Marshall. l want my friends
to devote themselves from now
until election day to the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket,
county, state, Congressional and
National. A triumph of pro-
gresslve principles Of Democracy
for which we have fought so
long will result in the highest
good to our country and will
crown with success my own Ia
bors IN behalf of the party.
-Four years ago under the
leadership of Col. Bryan the
party suffered a crushing defeat,
My colleagues in the House Of
Representatives called me to the
leadership of the broken and
discouraged Democratic minority.
We then took upon ourselves a
vow of harmony and the sub
ordination of private interests to
party principles. With an
united and aggressive party we
aroused public opinion, ex-
posed the iniquitous Payne
Aldrich Tariff Bill, overthrow
Cahnonism, and elected IN
1910 a Democratic House of
Representatives-the first nat
ional victory for the party in
twenty years.
In the s~ixty-second Congress
INV ~ooIlaaoueS further hOnOred
me by elevation to the highest
office in the gift of the party
the Speakership of the House.
I am proud of the record of
that Congress and of the paH
which I have been able to-
contribute to its work. 1t has
written a brilliant page in
American political history and
commended the confidence OF
all good citizens. It has re,
duced expenditures, curoed
Republican extravaganza, re-
stored freedom of debate in
Congress. admitted Arizona and
New Mexico, revised the tariff

Piano Don'ts,

Never rest the piano against an
outside wall, where it will certainly
absorb the damp.
Never place it too near the fire,
where it suffers the evil and the
heat draws the wood. :
Never leave window open on a
rainy day if the piano stands any
where near or the wires will rust
and the damp will injure the inter-
ior Of the instrument.
Never sweep the room with the
piano open, as the dust is most in
furious.
Never place on the top of the
piano a number of jingling or in
deed any ort of ornaments. Elk

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 49,
After, searching for nineteen years
for the owner of diamonds lost in
Chicago, Mrs. B. L. Marks at last
has discovered the owner, Mrs. H.
Turner, of Louisville, KY. by freak
of chance that reads like a chapter
of fiction.
A man named McFadden came
to San Francisco/in a wagon in
which he had crossed the plains.
He was aided by a livery man, the
husband of Mrs: Marks. Marks was
examining the schooner, when
among some old newspapers, he
saw a want ad, with description
of lost diamonds, which tailed with
those held by Mrs. Marks.
The ad was torn and the address
read: Mrs. Tur--, Third
street, Louisville" On this clew
Mrs. Marks wrote to the Louisville
police Mrs. Turner sent proof OF
ownership. which was received here
last night with an offer of 500 re-
! ward. Restoration will be made at
once.

SAFETY" IS
WATCAWORO
OF THE S. P.

Safety which is the watchword of
the Southern Pacific, is to be moved
further ahead in It's code. 1t was the
slogan Safety First that helped to
make the record of mo lives lost
through collision or derailment in
nearly four years." on this road.
Now it will, through safety COM
mittees comprising officials and em-
ployes, try for an even better record
for safety than heretofore and en-
deavor to prevent accidents Of all
kinds. AS much regard shall be taken
Of the life and limb of the employe as

This move means the organization
Of main safety committee to be COM
posed of the division superintendents.
Then there is to be a safety committee
on every division to comprise the SUI
perintendent, members of his staff
from various departments, conduc-
tor engineer, brakeman, fireman,
yardman, trackman, signal man,
bridge and building man and a shop
man. Each Of these craftsmen will be
the chairman of another distinct safe
ty committee.
Between meetings, which will be
held every month, each committee
shall entertain suggestions that will
tend to prevent accidents in all
branches of the railroad service, Then
these suggestions are to be brought
up at the division committee meeting
and then again at the general safety
committee meeting. If shop employe
mashes his finger the shop committee
will investigate and try and find a
method whereby others fingers will
be protected from a recurrence Of the
accident. The members of each COM
mittee are to be furnished with but
ton of artistic design.
Many of the suggestions that come
from the employees may appear to be
of minor Importance, but at the same
time easy to put in practice, This il
