least, appearing on the same stage
with acrobats and other takers.
One of the humiliating factors to
Americans in the noted tightwad's
Chautauqua campaign has been the
big laugh that Bryan's action has
caused across the ocean, where the
comic artists handled the state Sec
rotary in a very uncomplimentary
manner. In this country Republican
speakers and writer's have not been
the only critics Of Bryan, for some
of the strongest expressions of dis
gust have come from Democratic
leaders and journals. Following is
the reply of Speaker Clark to an in
vitation asking him to speak at a
meeting of the Upper Mississippi
Improvement Association:
ut would give me a great deal Of
pleasure to attend your convention
on Oct. 1916, but there is not any
chance that Congress will adjourn
by that time, and ! cannot leave
here while Congress is in session.
The Democrats have twice elected
me to the highest honor they have
to bestow, and l do not think that
| should leave my official duties as
long as the House is in session.
say no word of criticism Of other
people in like cases. but it seems to
me to be dishonest for person to
receive money from the Government
for performing his official duties,
then to leave his post of duty to
make money on the lecture plat
FORM
On Speaker Clark's action the
National Tribune. published at the
nations capital, comments as fol-
lows:
This is what might be expected Of
the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Clark is by no
means rich man. Without know
ing anything of his circumstances,
we doubt if he is as well off as the
average lawyer, physician or mer-
chant of his age in a medium-sized
town. He has been a big attraction
on the Chautauqua circuit and has
many flattering offers to lecture at
,remunerative fees, but he has reject
ed them all. He holds the absolute
truth of President Cleveland's max
i'm, "a public Office is public
trust" and his duties to the public
overpass any private consideration.
This is the proper spirit. and it is
part aof the consistent course by
which Speaker Clark has gained
such a strong hold upon the country
and his colleagues in public life. The
duties of the Speaker are nomore i'm
portant, if as much 30, at this time,
as those Of the Secretary of State in
the exceedingly critical condition of
affairs with Mexico. Yet Mr.. Clark
takes the proper veiw that,as the
country pays him for being in his
place in the House Of Representatives
day in and day out. he cannot, under
any consideration, absent himself,
no matter if he may have q good ex-
cuse, where there is no probability
of the public interest suffering
from his temporary absence. This
is precisely the veiw that any high.
minded Official would take, and it is
the veiw that every Official, hiph o,
ow-mined. should take.

POSTMASTERS
Six Delaware PIumbS Are Ex-
peCted to Drop in a Few
Days
FEAR SENATE MAY
NOT CONFIRM SELECTIONS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
f. WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. IT,
Though not officially announced by
any member OF the Delaware delega-
tion in Congress, it is stated here to-
day that Senators DUPONT and Rich
ardson and Representative Heald
have practically agreed on the names
of those to be sent to President Taft
for appointment as postmaster in half
dozen towns in that state. In fiyt
of the towns the present incumbent
will be re-appointed, it is said, while
in another an entirely new man will be
named. while in the seventh no agree
ment has been reached or Is likely TO
be reached because of differences
which exist among the members Of
the delegation.
The towns and the 2ostmasters
who, it is believed, will be re-appoint-
ed are:
New Castle-George w vantine.
Smyrna Jefferson.
Seaford-Irwin NJ. Chipman.
Laurel-Frank f. Davis
Milton-John r. Black.
For Middletown, II is stated. Walter
Beaston will be named to succeed
John A. Jolls. the present incumbent.
The reason the appointments have
been delayed so long is because Of
the failure of the Delaware members
OF Congress to agree on the appoint
ment at Milford AS il stands now
no one has been agreed upon. so THE
EVENING JOURNAL correspondent
is informed. and it is not likely any
one will be agreed upon. II Is said
that Senator dupont favors the re-
appointment OF Frank w. Davis, the
present incumbent; Senator Richard
son favors Edward Pierce, and Re
preventative Heald favors Chester
Marshall. II is hinted here that al
three names may be sent to Presi.
dent Taft, one by each of the three
members. and that II will be left tC
the President to take his choice.
A question which is worrying thu
Delaware delegation. however, is tha
of securing the confirmation OF thi
names hv the Senate There Is M
doubt that where all three have agrees
