Champ Has Cause For Sadness.
(AnScOndA StandArd.l

(AnacondaS tandard.)
There is no Disgusting the fact that
Speaker Champ Clark is sore over bis
defeat at Baltimore. And no one can
blame him. For, in the language OF a
once distinguished cabinet officer, be
''got q h of q rough deal." It has
been the custom of democratic on.
ventions to nominate by two.thirds
the candid ate who receives the vote
BY q majority OF the deleea tes.
Clark got q majority early in the bal
loting, but his split with Bryan cost
him the nomination., for it was
Bry influence that prevented the
convention from following custom in
Clsrk's case. Woodrow Wilson bene-
6ted through the Clark Bryan break,
and it Ia only natural that Clark
should feel somewhat lore at Will
sou.
Outwardly, Clark is for Wilson, and
be will have to support him, but be
will be about as enthusiastic in his
support as q corpse at q funeral. No.
vember will mark the burial of Champ
Clark's chances of ever becoming
president. OF course, Clark has the
speakership left, but he has not yet
been able to figure why the democra at.
ic party, in this year when prospects
seem 30 bright, should honor q man
who has not been q national figure
more than q year, at the expense of
one who has been q rational figure for
20 years and has devoted his entire
life to the democratic party. Champ
Clark's sadness is most appalling,
but there is 9 reason for it..

WANT GOOD LAWMAKERS.

The mistakes usual to q presidential
campaign are being made. People are
excited over candidates for nomina.
ton for the presidency, but are giving
only slight heed to nominations for
senator's and representatives for con-
gress or In state Legislatures. These
are the men who will make the laws.
Chief attention should be devoted to
selecting the best law makers. This is
a matter Of men, not parties. While
political parties may break up, in
dividusl character should never break
up. Nominate for national and state
legislatures men who can be depended
upon to frame laws in the interest Of the
public, not pelf; Of justice, not privi-
lege; OF righteousness, not party.
Both parties in congress are equally
responsible for going back on the
people, says Herbert Myrick in Farm
and Home. Both parties almost un
animously supported the reciprocity
frame-up against domestic farmers,
While republicans advocated such
reciprocity, now democrats seek to pu'
sugar on the free list and thus destroy
q new branch of farming that would
put GOO, DOC, 900 q year into the farm

A husband suddenly lost his position,

the children and give them everything

inclination. We took them frankly
into our confidence and told them what

to them. We dealt honestly with them.
and they felt it and appreciated it.

Pauncefote Turned His Critics Words
Back Upon Him.
The late Lord Pauncefote while at
tending the peace congress at The
Hague attracted the attention Of the
delegates by taking notes with a foun-
tain pen the handle Of which was
formed by the shell Of a dumdum bull
let. One day, says a biographer, the
representative Of a foreign power, ex-
cited by the heat Of the discussion in
the interests Of peace. said to him
sharply:
my lord, it isn't right for you to
use that murderous shell in this con-
gress. The instruments used by per-
sons are almost emblematic. They can
become a part Of themselves, an ex-
preston Of their ideas and Of their
personality"
Lord Pa~uncefote smiled, but said
nothing. The following day his critic,
wanting to write something, turned to
the English diplomat to borrow q pen.
The ambassador pulled out Of his pock-
ct an old fashioned pen made Of a
gray goose quill and after the borrow
er had finished said:
Monsieur, It isn't right for you b
use such an instrument in this con-
gress. The instruments used by per
sons are almost emblematic. They
can become part Of themselves, an ex-
preston Of their ideas, Of their per
s0naiity."

UNCLE SANS MISTAKES.

Shall settlers on government irriga'
ton projects pay for the mistakes o.
the reclamation service, or shall thai
loss be saddled upon the government:
That question was raised In the senate
. few days ago, and will be more ex'
tensively presented on behalf of the
settlers by Senator Borsh of Idaho,
who is now at work upon q speech on
the subject.
Under the reclamation act, ell
moneys spent out of the reclamation
fund have to be paid back by the SET
tiers who acquire water rights. This
mean that the settlers not only are
required to pay the actual cost of con.
structing the projects but have to
make up any losses, the losses being
added to the costs. This makes the
burden heavy upon the settlers when
any mistakes are made, for under the
prevailing system of bookkeeping the
full expenditure is figured at cost.
This subject fret arose in connection
with q bill authorizing the sale of the
government plant and project at Gar
den City, Kan, a project that proved
to be an utter failure. This was q
unique project, In that there was no
flowing water to depend upon, and
all the water for irrig alton o. to be
pumped to the surface from an UNDER
ground flow some twenty feet below
the surface. The government spent
about $500, 900 on q big pumping plant.
built its distributing system and then
found the project was an utter failure,
for 1t could not get the water to the
land at q cost the farmers could pay.
The land owners under the project,
however, had obligated themselves to
repay the cost of construction, and
being without water we're unable to
raise crops or meet their payments.
So the project has been abandoned,
and it is now proposed to sell the
government plant, release the settlers,
and recoup the loss as far as pos
sible. But there will be q substantial
loss or the project at best, and the
problem has arisen, upon whom shall
this loss fall? It cannot fall upon
the settlers upon the Garden City pro.
ject, for they have lost everything and
cannot pay; in fact, they never had
water for irrigation, and the govern
ment did not keep it's part Of the con-
tract. The fear has been expressed
that this loss will be distributed upon
other projects, and that settlers In
other states will pay for the Garden
City fssco.
When this bill was before the sen
ate, Senator Borah said it was moi
right that the expense attending such
mistakes should be saddled upon the
settlers, but should be paid for GU,
of the treasury. He took the position
that when q settler repays to the gov
eminent his share of the actual cos,
of getting water onto his land, he has
done all that reasonably can be asked
of him: that the settler has q hard
row at best and should not have his
lot made any harder by reason O,
blunders, by persons over whom he
Is not responsible. He announced
that he would soon raise the squart
issue of relieving the settlers from the
burden of any mistakes which have
been made in any of the government
projects, and will ask congress to pass
an amendment to the reclamation &C
to this effect.-Anaconda Stand ard.

FRISCO ROUTE TO PANAMA.
New Through Freight Service Kansas
City to Gulf.

Kansas City, Mo-, March An
event of more than usual Importance
in railway affairs is the inauguration
by the Frisco on March 1 of through
freight service to and from New Or
leans and Mobile. Through the own
ership acquired in the New Orleans,
Mobile & Chicago and the trackage
arrangements with the New Orleans &
Northeastern from Laurel, Miss, the
Frisco has opened a new and direct
route between the Gulf and the Missis-
sippi and Missouri valleys and has
established a through freight service
from St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City,
Memphis and other terminal points.
The new service means that the
Frisco reaches the Gulf port direct,
through which a large volume of the
tonnage to and from the Panama
canal, Central American, Cuban and
Porto Rican ports will pass. Adequate
and modern facilities have been pro-
vided.
Another important innovation made
by the Frisco freight department is the
Inauguration of through refrigerator
service for the benefit of shippers of
eggs, produce and butter. Effective
this week the Frisco has organized
the Frisco Refrigerator line, of which
B. W. Redfearn, general perishable
freight agent of the Frisco, is presi-
dent and general manager. Through
shipments in refrigerated cars can be
sent from st. Louis and Kansas City
to all points on the system.

CHANGE MAIN LINE OF MO. P.
Big Business to Be Routed by Way of
Fort Scott.

Fort Scott. Kan, March THE
Missouri Pacific division between Fort
Scott and Wichita is soon to be placed
under the block system and that tele-
phones will be used in dispatching
trains instead of the old telegraph in
struments. The main line of that
road is to be run via lola as has been
strongly intimated for the past two
years or more.
The report says that the block sig
nails and telephones are to be put in
during the spring months and that the
telephones were ordered by President
Bush after a recent trip of inspection
over this territory.
With the completion of the Western
Pacific the Missouri Pacific manage
ment has been reaching out after the
western coast business and they are
making many and expensive improve
ments in order to shorten their line
to the coast so as to handle this bust
ness more cheaply and with the short
est mileage. Reports have been cur
rent for two years that one of these
contem plated improvements is the
change of the main line to the south
ern route via Fort Scott and it is be-
lieved that this will be done within
another year.

JENNINGS OUT OF TT?
Peerless Coacher Has but One Good
Leg to Stand On.

Jennings is worse crippled than was
apparent when he arrived here and
unless Trainer Harry Tuthill can work
out some of the kinks which are leg
acy of that automobile accident that
nearly cost Jennings his life last au-
tumn, the fantastic coaching of the
Tiger manager may never be seen or
heard again. In any event, the
chances are against it being in evil
dence until the season just at hand
is more than half over.
His wrist is so stiff that he can not
run it enough to use his fingers for
that famous whistle. He can not
''wee-ah'' in the old style because he
has but one good leg to stand on.
He may get out on the side line, but
his coaching will be reduced to the or
binary brand.
