A RESUME.

Editor of the Chieftain
The discussion that has been going
on in your paper for the past two
months between the Rationalists on
the one hand and the Paid Defenders
of Superstition on the other seems to
be drawing to close, and it might
be well just at this time to recapitu
late
This discussion started with the i'll
advised publication by Captain White
of little gem of advice to the effect
that people should read the Bible
something that is very evident the
Captain hasn't done.
Had the Captain ever read the Bible
and been aware of its contents. he
would have hesitated before he was
so willing to infict his preachments
on the Chieftain readers.
No doubt, the Captain has found out

THOUSAND BOYS
CORN CLUB

Columbia, April 10. - (Speeial.l -
One thousand boys in school together
is not rare sight but gathering of
one thousand school boys around a
banquet board is unique And when
it is said that these one thousand boys
are Corn Club boys, from all the corn
growing states, what a sight it will
be.
This is the plan of the National
Corn Exposition management, to have
a great exposition school for prize
winners in the county contests of the
Boys Corn Clubs, as conducted
throughout the Southern States by the
Federal Farm Demonstration bureau.
and the city council of Columbia,
where the corn exposition is to be
held next January, has announced
that the city will give a banquet to
the one thousand or more boys attend
ing the exposition school
The school will consist of the two
boys in each county winning first and
second place in the Boys Corn Club
contests. The school will open on
Monday, January 27th, 1913, the open
ing day of the exposition, and will
continue one week. The faculty will
consist of agricultural experts from all
parts of the country who will be in at
tendance on the exposition, which is
much more than a mere corn show.
1t is a great national agricultural ex-
position, not being confined to corn
alone, and the opportunity which it
affords for agricultural education is
unexcelled.
! The boys attending the exposition
school will be quartered in a large
| building, near the main exposition
buildings, and they will be in charge
of representative of the farm demon
stration work. The boys will be or
ganized into semi-military orfaniza-
ton, and while the men of the demon
stration department will have close
supervision over them, it is planned
that the boys themselves will be given
certain responsibilities. They will
visit the exhibits in the mornings and
| in the afternoons will have parades
and will be given special instruction
in corn judging, stock Judging and the
like. The boys will be asked to pre-
pare reports of what they see and the
best of these reports win be sent to
the home papers for publication.
Then on Saturday night, the last
might, comes the banquet, given by
the city of Columbia in honor of the
Corn Club boys. There will be speeches
by some of the most notable men in
the country, and in fact it will be a
genuine banquet, just like grown-ur
folks have.

CLARK AND HARMON
AGAINST WILSON

Washington, D c., April 1.-THE
result in Illinois is attributable, as
Speaker Clark admits in his message
to the New York American, to the in
fluence of William Randolph Hearst
and his newspapers and political allies.
1t was aided, too, by the abandonment
of the field by Governor Harmon, who
in accordance with the territorial
agreements of anti-Wilson allies left
Illinois where his friends had been
campaigning for months and turned
the whole Harmon strength over to
Clark.
"Of course the speaker had some
strength aside from the Hearst and
Harmon support The greater portion
OF the western half of the state bor-
ders on and is Immediately contiguous
to Mr. Clarks home county and terri
tory.
In the progressive state of Wiscon-
sin, where there is no Hearst machine,
the Clark Harmon combine was de-
feated by more than two votes to one.
There is no doubt that Hearst is the
greatest asset of the Clark boom and
there is also no doubt that Speaker
Clark recognizes this fact, as it prov
ed by his message to the Hearst news
papers this morning.
Prominent democrats in congress
are aghast at the growing boldness of
Hearst i'm taking charge of the Clark
candidacy The prediction was made
around the capitol today by demo-
cratic leaders that the commanding
Hearst influence in the Clark boom
will react upon the democrats of other
states, who are unwilling to see their
party delivered over to the dominion
of William Randolph Hearst.
The Hearst triumph in Illinois yes
terday, which Speaker Clark acknowl-
edges and openly proelaims, leads to
the very general belief that the Hearst
captaincy of the Clark candidacy will
henceforth be open and admitted. A
new issue has been injected into the
Ipre-convention campaign, and that is
whether or not the democratic party
in the nation is to be 'Hearstized
The issue is now confused by the
Iinterjection of the Hearst personality
and journalism AS sample of the
latter it is significant that the table
of delegates printed this morning in
the Hearst papers gives Clark all of
the 5S votes of Illinois, but grants to
Wilson only ten instructed delegates,
those from Oklahoma, entirely ignor-
ing the result in Wisconsin where Will
son won "a out of 26 delegates and
