CITY VS.. RURAL INFLUENCE

the other day In which he criticised
the Democrats for passing the anti
trust bill and the men who prepsr-
ed and fought it through the
House. He claimed that the anti
trust bill was framed by Clayton of
ELfala, Ala; Carlin of Alexandria,
Va; and Floyd, of Yellville, Ark:
n closed his speech witch these
words:
Whoever heard of any business
being done at, either of these places,
and is it any wonder that the bust
S Of the country is paralyzed
with the legislation to regulate it
coming from such a source?"
The remarks of Mr.. Madden, the
Congressional Record saws. were
greeted with applause on the Re-
publican side. When Madden took
his seat, Congressman Clark, Demo-
crat from Florida, replied to him as
follows:
Mr.. Chairman, permit me to say
that the grestest man who ever
made a track upon the earth who
brought more of happiness and of
blessing to mankind than any other
person who ever trod the earth,
did not come from the busy marts
nf trade. He did not come from
New York or Chicago, hut He came
from Nazareth. The great men in
every period of the history of the
world, who have wrought nightly
for the interests Of mankind, have
come from the rural NATURES God.
These men have come from the
Eufaulas and Alexandrias and Yell
villes of the earth. not from the
Chicag0s, where the L.orimers hold
sway, where a nation has heen
made to blush with shame and the
Senate of the United States has
been compelled by the force of the
facts to expel from its membership
q Senator, coming not from Eu-
faula, not from Alexandria, not
from Yellville, but from Chicago,
where they do things, where bust
ness is transacted, where the peopl
know how to do business, and
where they make a business of poll
tics and a business of government,
where their patriotism is measured
by the dollars and cents flowing
into their pockets. Yes, this Demo-
cratic Congress has seen fit not To
go to Chicago, not to 20 to the
places where Lorimers are produc-
ed, but to go to the places where
the great heart of the people finds
sympathy among those who are
reared there, where the people who.
come from these rural spots have
an eye to the interests of the people
of the country and not to the dollar
changers, not to the money chang
ers, whom Christ scourged from the
temple, but out il the rural land
where nature smiles, where the
people are in constant touch with
nature and with natures God. The
Democratic party is proud of that
record, Mr.. Chairman. We are
glad that we went to that region,
and not to the soiled streets of
Chicago to get these men.

Fxnosition Commission.

pleasing to the people of the state
The commission named by him VIII
have great problems before 1t and II
will have to engage itself very buslly
as the time is short.
So far plans have not been an
nounced, but the general belief is that
there will be a building on the West
Virginia site sufficient to answer the
purpose but not one to make an I'M
posing appearance. 1t is possible the
SIS 900 appropriated by the legislature
for the purpose will not all be spent
on the building, as the finances of the
state are in crippled condition. How
ever, it is gratifying to believe that
West Virginians will have home at
the exposition, where they can as
semble and meet one another
Exhibits will be largely by indivi-
dua1s and concerns and but few by
the state governm ent. 1t is essential,
therefore, that the commission give
considerable time to interesting ex-
hibitors and it should be given earnest
co-ope ration.
Those who intend to make exhibits
can doubtless receive helpful sugges-
tions and splendid aid from the COM
mission and they should get in touch
with it at once.
