FROM
CHAMP CLARK

Washington, d. c. Sept. 6, 1912
Col. r. NJ. White,
Mexico, Mo.
My dear Bob:
Some time ago l received a letter
from you about a speech at Mexico.
About the same time the Hon. Bdwari
F. Goltra undertook to make a plan
of his own, unfortunately it got in
to the newspapers before anybody
had given consent to 1t, so things
are somewhat muddled about a
speaking date at Mexico.
OF course, l would be delighted to
speak at Mexico any time under
consideration that it's agreeable to
the citizens of Mexico and the sur
rounding country but the campaign Is
too short to speak there twice.
suppose it will all get straight
ened out soon.
Your friend,
CHAMP CLARK.

REPRESENTATIVES
MEET WITH CLUB

AT uhe regular weekly luncheon OF
the Mexico Commercial Club Friday
the committee, composed of E. d.
Graham, c. P Malone and J W Dry,
was continued for the purpose of
comforting with the directors Of the
electric line to e 81 a plan cannot
be had that will be practical and
suit bo.h the directors and the
Club.
The plan suggested by the com
mittee and which-tbe directors object
ed to was that the road be- sold to
pay the Judgment against 1t held by
the Fruin-Bambriek Co. and That a
local company buy ct IN and H.
nance the line so ii could be ex-
tended. The reply Of the Directors,
which Judge Bolts read at the meet
ing and which Matthias Crum also
spoke about, follows:

that we let the property Of said
company be sold for tine purpose of
paying the Fruln-Bambrick Judgment
is anwise and will work great injus-
tee to many people and ought not
to be adopted by the Commercial
Club.
First: The sale of the proper

condition would mean the sacrd-
flee OF an Investment OF about $780,.
900 for the purpose OF paying a debt
Of lass than $4,000. which is al

pay that indebtedness and the ex-
"
penses Of foreclosure a bs raised

will be better for the community and
al concerned to use 1t in building

Third: We are instructed to re-
the Commercial Club that the
building Of this road was not under
aiken as a private enterprise I'm
he first instance, but that 1t was
,nly ON condition that $4,000 to /

Costs In Prosecution Are To Be
Paid BY Forester Ralph c.

Deputy Forest Supervisor Ralph c.

lose $42.s5, as a result of the zeal of
the forest rangers in prosecuting
Henry ]. Beysinger, for alleged FIRE
trespass.
Charges were brought against Bay
singer In the Federal courts for the
eastern district of Arkansas, but the
charge was dismissed on the ground
that the Federal statutes did not ap-
ply. On their own responsibility the
forest men brought charges in a JUS

BY MISSOURI RABBI
IN STIRRING SPEECH.
Judaism Will Survive Mod

Mayer at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, April 1S.-Expressing
the conviction that Judaism will sur
vive, despite the inroads of modernism
and socialism. and the new thought,
and prophesying that all men VIII soon
acknowledge that through Israel alone
Is "the voice of the Lord with pewer,"
Rabbi Harry II. Mayer, of Kansas City,
is 'the voice of the Lord with power"
ison Avenue Temple last night. The ad-
dress was delivered at the Sabbath SER
vice which formally opened the Twenty
third annual convention of the Gem
trail Conference of American Rabbis.
THE weakness of modern sociology"
said Rabbi Mayer, rs that times II
tends to play into the hands of social
ism. The Hebrew prophets escaped this
pitfall by experimenting the preachment
Of social justice with the doctrine of in
dividuaI righteousness as the inescapable
condition that must precede the reign
of social justice.
''The modern socialists" said the rab-
bi, fall into the error of regarding
individual righteousness not as con-
dition antecedent to, but a condition
consequent upon social regeneration"
