she had ever known was a man who
pulled or repaired teeth, 80 when the
nice little girl In her class said her
father was dentist the teacher con.
cluded to patronlze him. She knew his
address and called one day with
nerves braced for treatment OF an un.
sound tooth. She was shown into q
small workshop, whose sides were
lined with big grandfather clocks.
"Dentistf" the man exclaimed.
Great Scott, no; I'm a clock mender.

the mistake. People In this trade al
ways call the fellow who makes a spe-
cialty of tinkering with grandfather
clocks a dentist. The wheels OF most

the clock stops the wornout teeth

Washington and New York believe
that the Democrats are going to win
the presidency In the 1919 election.
Mr.. Roosevelt sidestepped the tariff
and passed It on to President Taft,
and Mr.. Taft sealed his fate when he
signed the Payne.Aldrlch bill and In
dorsed It as the best tariff measure the
country has known.
The Democrats came into control
OF the house Of representatives and
made Champ Clark speaker. Mr., Clark
was able to organize the house Of rep
resentativea In such fashion that the
czarlike authority of the speaker was
delegated in great part to the rank
and file of the house from which II
should never have been taken.
II requires bigger man and an
abler man to successfully head a legis-
latlve body which has powers of Its
own than II does to act as an autoorat.

into direct and natural contrast with
Mr.. Taft. Both have absolute standing
among the people OF America for hon.
est intent In what they are doing. Taft
has succeeded in making a series of
blunders In handling men and In pass
ing on AFFAIRS. Clark has worked along
broad lines and has made a brilliant
success Of the big work he has had
to do
Since Clark was elected speaker, he
has been mentioned for the presi-
dency, No public man could fail TO be
fattered by the prospect of the Demo
cratic nomination. The speaker has
subordinated his personality and what
ambitions he may have to the good OF
his party. He has sought harmony In
the house Of representatives., harmony
among tho leaders OF the party In the
country. He has steered the cause OF
his party 30 as to render good serv.
ice to the country, and has sought to
make II sure that some Democrat will
win rather than 10 insure the nomina-
tlon for himself.
II requires big man and a strong
one TO hold true to a position like this.

chances for advertisement and for
political advancement II It's holders

The qualities Of tried experience, OF
