Il see," said Judge Markham,
that Mr.. Joshua R. Giddings Of
Ohio, an anti-slavery man, has been
stirring up congress in a way to set
people thinking"
"How's that" asked several who
always listened to the judge with
keen interest.
The case is this" said the judge,
as the elderly element of the party
gathered about him. Last October
the brig Creole, with cargo of
over one hundred slaves, left Hamp-
ton in Virginia, for New Orleans,
where the slaves were to be sold in
the market. When out on the high
seas a part Of the slaves rose, over
powered the crew, and in the strug-
gle one of the slave owners was
killed. Two days afterward the
brig ran into the harbor Of Nassau,
in the island of New Providence,
which is a British possession. The
English authorities of that island,
acting as they always did in such
cases, set all the slaves at liberty
except those charged with the re.
volt and murder.

What Speaker Clark says Of the
House may be said with equal force
as to the Senate. Gallinger, chair
man Of the minority, has seen

tweEty-three years; Clark, Warren,
and Nelson, ranking members re-
spectively of judiciary, Appropria-

UNITED STATES SENATORSKIP
The opInion of Speaker Champ Clark
Continuous Service.

Champ Clark is regarded as one
of the abest men in public life to-
day. He received the majority OF
votes for President in the Demo.
cratic National Convention of 1912,
but the rule of the Democratic Con
vention is that two-thir1s are re-
tquired to nominate. Without a
possibility of doubt he would today
be occupying the presidential chair
but for the determined opposition
of W. J Bryan. We may not all
agree with Speaker Clark in poll
tics, but in thorough knowledge of
Congressional affairs he is recogniz-
ed as a preeminent authority.
A few weeks ago the National
Press Club gave to the so-called
baby Congressman" (first termers)
a reception, at which Speaker Clark
made the most telling address of the
evening. He set forth the fact that
members of Congress become strong
through long service, and long SER
vice alone. His remarks have q
very important bearing upon today S
senatorial situation in Vermont, and
are so timely that they are worth
reproduction. Here is, in part,
what he said:
A man has to learn to be a rep
resentative just the same as he has
to learn to be a blacksmith, a car
penter, farmer or lawyer. Use
full and influential Congressman are
made largely by experience and
practice. A new Congressman
must begin at the foot of the class
and sDell up. Of course the more
brains, tact, energy, courage, and
industry he has the quicker he will
get up.

lOp OFF three heads there. Hendrix, l
SeatOn, Packard, Mcconnell, Vaughn
and Lavender could carry the burden
through the season.
At the time of the peace agree
ment it was also understood that the
st. Louis Browns, because of absOrp-
ton of the SIOufeds, would not be
forced to the American league limit.
Ban Johnson now says this plan will
be carried through. Obviously, the
same course should be followed with
the Cubs and Tinker should not be
forced to handicap himself.
Ban, though not a National league
official, is a member of the national
commission, where the matter may
be carried if the Cubs get an adverse
ruling, and Ban says the rule should
not be enforced That makes things
a trifie roster for the locals, though
it is not only possible, but probable,
that Ban would be OutvOted by Te-
ner and Garry Hermann.
Yesterdays game will be played off
tomorrow, which was an open date.

this battle must be played as the sec
ond portion of a bargain bill later in
the season.
At last Jim Scott seems to have
pitched a regular ball game and that
is cause for rejoicing on the South
Side. Scotty was performing against
his soft gang, the Browns, but he did
everything in workmanlike man
ner, passing but two and allowing
seven hits.
Scott and Russell are the only vet
Grams who have done a creditable
stunt this season, and there should
be an UpIift when Benz and CicOtte
are back again, at least as relief hurl-
ers. Williams and Faber have done
fine work, but DanfoTth seems hardly
able to bear the burden of regular
assignment yet.

runs, especially with better baserun-
ming.
Some of the Sox athletes run wild
on the bases, chasing themselves to
certain death. Others are too timid
and won't run unless it is a dead sure
thing that they will safely reach the
goal ahead.
There is a happy medium between
these two extremes and the SOX
should find it. FOurnier failed to
score yesterday when he could easily
have counted on a wild throw. Jack
son, on the paths behind him, ran
him down and Jack was forced off a
base and tagged out. Jackson was
amazed that the Frenchman was
clOgging the path, figuring he would
surely score.
In case of postponement today or
tomorrow at st. Louis the SOX will
have to remain over in the Mound
city Wednesday and clean up the
slate, foregoing the Dubuque exhibit
ton. Thursday the South Siders re-
turn home to entertain the Cleveland
Indians for the first time this season.
Iris Speaker has made Lee FOhPs
club a formidable aggregation and
no longer does it furnish stepping
stone for the Sox and Tigers.
Hal Chase was on the bench, but
performed in the ninth as a pinch
i
single which won the game. Hal is
having a jubilee with the National
league pitching. Otto Knabe hit a
double with the bases full for Pitts
burgh. Killifer and Johnston pOled
three hits each.
Hugh Jennings used u athletes,
including six more or less pitchers,
but couldn't stop Cleveland. Graney
