FORGET It2 Never

paper, says:
There are some things that
most all public men should for
get, Champ Clark should forget
the Baltimore convention if he
ever expects to be president"
If there is one man on Earth
who could not forget the Balti-
more convention, even though he
desired to do so, it is Champ
Clark. And it will be harder
still for his friends to forget it,
it will be impossible for the
world to forget it, and it will be
impossible for the historians to
forget it, it can't be forgotten, it,
infamy can't be effaced. 1t will
even smell to the high heavens.
1t is not often an American
citizen has the presidency within
his reach, and win the nominal
ton Of his party, the highest
honor that could be conferred
upon any living man by any peo-
pie in the civilized world.
Champ Clark without the ex-
f nditure Of a dollar, known to
be without means or political pa
tronage, fairly swept the United
States in the race for the presi-
dental nomination. In practi-
cally every state where there was
a primary vote, the people were
p him. He went to the Balti-
more convent on, the peoples
choice, and for ballot after bal
lot received the majority of the
votes for the nomination, and I'M
der Democratic usages, where
the majority rules, he was the
normal nominee of the party.
Every fair minded Democrat
throughout the nation conceded
h had won the nomination and
was entitled to the honor of be-
ing the party's National Stand
ard Bearer.
1t lis not necessary to again
print the damnable incidents of
the convention, which robbed
Missouri's most distinguished cit
lien of the nomination. Bryan,
an instructed delegate for Clark,
'ead the fight upon him, which
all good men, must admit was
tased upon selfishness and
treachery. Bryan practically adj
5litted before the convention was
over, after Clark had been struck
down by a supposed friend, that
he was wrong, as he wished
Clark to be the nominee for vice
president. He admitted that he
lad done Clark an injustice la
ter, when he publicly announced
hat he favored Clark for Speak
or. Had he thought for a mo
rent Champ Clark was a "toOl
e. the interests" as charged at
a critical moment, would he
favor him for vice President
and Speaker? And again he,
Bryan, made a statement later,
which eXonorated Clark from
improper Affiliations with Tam
many, but after it was too late,
to right the greatest wrong ever
done an American citizen.
And Clark should forget all
thisq. And his wife, and son
and daughter, who were present
at the Baltimore convention and
witnessed the outrage should for
get all thisY
Never as long as time lasts,
will they be able to forget it,,
nor will the world forget it. For
cruelty and heartless injustice,
the act of ingratitude and treach-
cry towards his old friend and
supporter, Champ Clark, will go
down into history as the darkest
blot on the page of American
politics -BOonville Advertiser.

FIRST GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
Overwhelming Victory Of the Greeks
Over the Persians Marked Sea
Conflict Centuries Ago.

The first great and decisive naval
battle in history was fought at Sala-
mis-, between the Greek and Persian
fleets, 1898 years ago. 1870 B. C.
Thcmistocles, the Athenian com.
mander, had 500 vessels to oppose
the Persian fleet of nearly 1000 sail.
Facing such a superior force, most of
the Greeks wanted to sail away. but
Themistocles was determined upon
Immediate battle. He sent word to
Nerxes, the Persian king, informing
him that the Greek fleet would at
tempt to escape, and advising him to
guard both ends of the strait. The
Persian monarch followed this ad-
vice, and the Greeks, "bottled up"
were forced to fight. The battle be-
gan early in the morning and con-
tinued throughout the day. The Per-
sian king, who hoped to make Greece
a province of Persia as the fruit of
the conflict, ''sat on the rocky brow
which looks DER seaborn Salamis,"
and gazed down to ''where ships by
thousands lay below" Byron con-
tinues: "He counted them at break
of day, and when the sun set where
were they? The Greeks were COM
pleteiy victorious, and on the day
after the battle the bay was covered
with the wrecks of Asia's fleet.

Throughout the flight he screamed

WANTED TO ADVISE CAPTAIN
Cranky Passenger Thought He Knew

"Panic, more OF less suppressed,
