CHAMP CLARK WILL CATCH IT.

Surely Champ Clark, if not absolutely
daft, is at least ganging aglee. Not SO much
for the suggestion that the House member
ship be reduced from 435 to 800, as per-
manent number-for. Thermopylae was de-
tended by 300, though it would be shame
to send all those people home to raise
chickens and eat rice-but for attacking the
holy of holies, the ultima Thule, the inner
arcanum, and the primum mobile of con-
gressmen-for agitating, in a word, that
the Congressional Record be abolished and
that oratory be eliminated
True, the everlasting wind storms in
Washington do interrupt the nations busi-
ness, and the Congressional Record is
tremendous waste of time and money, but
what has that got to do with it?
Why, congressman might as we'll stay
home and work Sampson shorn of his locks
was not so pitiable spectacle as a con
gressman bereft of his Record Even if
nobody does read the Record, it looks good
to the folks back home to see So-and-So's
name floating down an interminable river
of type, and it is pleasing to So-and-So him
self to see his achievements piling up by the
pound, while the real doers of the nation
business are too busy to erupt into type.
To deprive congressman of their annual
opportunity of airing their stock of ancient
Jokes when the appropriations bill comes
up, is besides unconstitutional, in that it is
cruel and unusual punishment and in truth
we have become attached to the hoary. old
relicts. There is one venerable pilgrim
that is our special favorite. We look into
the Record every year to see if the tottering
cid patriarch is still there and if he hasn't at
last been gathered to his fathers. It is about
the diplomatic appropriations. The govern
nent maintains launch at Our embassy in
Turkey inNorder that communication may
be maintained across the Bosphorus be-
tween the residence and the business sec
tions of the city. This has been explained
time after time, but every year the congress
men play the farce over again, and after a
couple of pages of sprightly dialogue, some
legislator is sure to ask why the govern
rnent doesn't maintain airships at the other
embassies. (Laughter) Meanwhile mat
tiers of vital import are delayed.
Clusters last stand was a mere holiday
jaunt compared to the resistance which ar
enb1ttled congress will oppose Champ
Clarks proposition-wicked Champ Clark
Hang expensel Hang utility! It is the
cause, it is the cause, my soul!

FOR DUTY'S SAKE.

What constitutes "most conspicuous
bravery" the award of which is the Victoria
Cross? Exactly what must man do to re-
ceive this supreme honor? Does he have
to lead forlorn hope? Does he have to do
something spectacular and gaudy9 Is dan
ger the only prerequisite?
By no means.
The column entitled "The Victoria
Cross in the London Observer shows that
doing ones duty-helping ones cause-is
the touchstone. Danger is purely Incl
dental
For instance: A man carrying an i'm
portant message to the company command
er, during heavy assault by the enemy,
was knocked unconscious by a shell. Pri-
vate Chafer though severely wounded,
grasped the situation and taking the mes
sage from the mans pocket, succeeded in
delivering it before he collapsed from loss
of blood. Note we'll: he had already been
wounded, he was already under fire, so it
was not a case of undergoing new peril.
But he saw an opportunity duty-and
he rose to the occasion He was simply eff
ficient
Then there was Corporal Cosgrove, who
in an attack on Turkish position, cody
pulled down the posts of the enemy's high
wire entanglements single handed-under
heavy fire. Other men, too, were under
fire, but he got the v C.-because of the
thoroughness with which he did his work.
Captain Battenpool was another. The
leader of raiding party, grenade explod-
ed in his hand, tearing off the fingers. In
stead of giving up and leaving his command
leaderless, he continued to direct opera
tions; his mission accomplished, he with
drew the party in good order, and when he
reached his own lines and was no longer
needed, he tainted
The boy who thrust his arm in the levee's
break was kindred spirit to this man!
Other countries have their iron crosses
their legions of honor, their duty-awards
In case of death, the insignia is bestowed or
the soldiers nearest of kin-his mother, Oh
his wife-happy martyrs-that the example
may not go unheeded And so many mil
lions Of men are being taught singleness Of
purpose, steadiness of determination
lesson that will make peace all the more
glorious.
There is abundant opportunity to carr
the Y. c. in every day life-the steamship
captain who is last to leave the bridge, The
doctor who perils his life to study disease
the man who risks his chances for the SAX,
of principle, are only few of the heroes O
the workaday world!

but the fact that this is the best and most
accessible port on the Gulf of Mexico is not
sufficient; business is as timid as any girl
and must be wooed and won before it can
be brought home to us.

Edith Storey and Antonio Moreno In
''The Shop Girl"
As Winifred the ship girl in the
Vitagraph production of C. N. and
A. M. Williamson's popular novel of
the same name, Edith Storey, who is
ably supported by Antonio Moreno,
again demonstrates her ability as an
actress of unusual versatility. She
adds new Characterization to a
long list of impersonations that EN-
brace every degree of artistry from
comedy to tragedy. As the shop girl
in this latest Vitagraph picture she
is a living, breathing girl of the de-
partment store, and again establishes
her right to stardom by her excep-
tionally clever portrayal an6 careful
attention to detail.

A Vote Getter-


As vote-getter, Governor Tram
nell is hard to excel. He not only
won the nomination for senator by an
overwhelming vote, but he also led
all others on the state ticket in the
general election. Although he had
two opponents, and although many OF
the other nominees had only one op-
ponent or none at all, his vote was
$500 more than any other Democratic
nominee. He received only 11,00 less
votes than Mr.. Cats and Mr.. Knott
combined.
The normal vote in the election was
$4,000 Democratic and $4,000 Repup-
lican. But the governor received 5S.-
600 and his two opponents combined
about $4,000.
Park Trammeli is our greatest
vote getter.-Tampa Tribune.

Getting Over It

The state papers are getting over
the election all right and most of
them are now writing editorials on
the price of putty or how to eradi-
cate the cattle tick. Even the Jack
sonville Free Press, the most out
spoken paper in the state for Cats
has quit and in last weeks issue had
a large editorial on ''How to Cleanse
and Care for a Wound Without a
Doctor" This is the true Ameri-
can spirit. We fight while the fight
ing is good and then forget about it.
The newspapers especially should
dwell together in peace and unity
