WHY | AM
FOR MR.. CLARK
Secretary of State Pearce, in an In
terview in Denver, Gives His
Reasons for Supporting the
Famous MiSsourian.

You ask why | am for Champ
Clark, said James b. Pearce, sec
retary of state, in an interview in
Denver. There are many excellent
reasons that, should all of them be
given, the Post would have room for
nothing else in its columns, but in
order TO give my reasons for being
for Champ Clark in the shortest
possible time, | will say:
First feel that every citizen
in Colorado owes debt of gratitude
to Champ Clark for his support 20
years ago when we needed friends
in congress, when some some of the
other candidates now mentioned for
the presidency in the democratic par
ty were against us, and others un-
heard Of
'Second-While it is feared that
some others might Tepudiate a plat
form after being elected, Champ
Clark is platform in himself and
the interests of the people would be
safe with him without a platform.
'Third-The present favorable po-
stion of the democratic party in the
nation is due more to the leadership
and good judgment of Champ Clark
than of any other individual in the
party, and he cannot be deprived of
that credit.
"Fourth-He is a regular Demo-
crat, having been consistent during
the whole of his public career, and
is the first choice of many hundreds
of thousands of the party, and the
unquestioned second choice of those
Democrats who are supporting Will
son or Harmon. He should not only
be satisfactory to the veterans of the
party, but also to those who have
been recently converted to Democrat
ic principles
Mr.. Pearce read the following ex-
tract from a speech made by Mr..
Clark August lS, 1911, in congress,
as typifying the character of the
man:
Whenever any man stands and
undertakes to do anything for the
benefit of the great masses of peo-
pie, he is denounced by the interests
as demagogue and is charged with
playing politics. But to stand up and
advocate the cause of the interests
Is the highest evidence of statesman
ship. AS far as | am Individually
concerned, | sprang from the loins
of the common people, God bless
them, and | am one of them. | la
bored with my hands in my youth.
and would do ii again tomorrow If |
had to do so; and l unhesitatingly
take my stand with the consumers of
the land as against the interests"

What Suggested the Name.

After Eugene Walter had complet-
ed Paid In Full" which comes to
the Park opera housee next Wednes-
day night, he racked his brains un-
successfully for a name for the piece.
One day he received from the Green
Room club statement for dues. He
went to the club that night, handed
the bill and the requisite amount to
the man behind the desk. Dipping
his pen in red ink, the man wrote
across the face of the statement,
Paid In Full" and handed it back
to Walter The young author looked
at the receipt for a moment, and
then a satisfied sigh escaped his
lips, At last he had found the name
for his great American play.

SHOWN BY REPORT.

Sentinel Special Service.
New York City, March 21.-The
growth of the Bell system, its broad
er usefulness and resulting prosper
ity, are shown in the annual report
of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph company for 1911, by the fl
nancial statement and other compar-
ative statistics.
In addition to this usual informa-
ton, President Vail has made a very
comprehensive statement of the pol
icy of the company both in the
management of its business and in
its relations to the public.
The growth of the system is indi-
Gated by an increase of 749.9O6 in
the number of stations. making a
total at the end of the year of g.
632 ,625, of which 2,15S,454 are
operated by connecting companies.
The Bell toll lines now reach TO-
600 places. which is 5000 more than
the number of postoffices and 10000
more than the number of railroad
stations in the United States The
total wire mileage has been increas-
ed to nearly 100000 miles, of
which over half is underground, and
the new 45O-mile subway between
Boston and Washington has been
completed except for the drawings in
some of the cable.

OF the kirk. BY him they are conducted
into his very home ON Sabbath morn
ing, where they meet his charming
daughter, "Bunty", and his son, "Rab"
and later are introduced to the congre-
CATION at the kirk. And, be it known,
that attending the kirk is made the first
object of their small existence. Then
they listen to a story of the hills in
the guise of comedy of hoopskirts.
Tammas Biggar, Bunty's father, is
one of the kind that crowns himself
with his own halo He is as rigid as
a bar of steel and governs his family
accordingly His principles are rotten
to the core, yet he hides his shortcom-
ings in the shadow of the kirk. But
fate finds him out and when his dark
est hour is at hand his guardian angle,
i'm the form of his daughter, Bunty,
steps in and saves him from ignominy.
1t is a simple story, and it is told in
caustic matter-offact manner, that Gre
ates its greatest charm.
The company appearing in the local
production have just arrived from Scot
land and several of them were selected
from the original London company which
