WISDOM OF CHAMP CLARK.
Influence Comes With Experience-.Mus
Learn 10 BE a Congressman.

Speaker Champ Clark IS OF the
opinion that Pennsylvania and
New England have greater IN
Auence IN Legislation at Washing.
ton by reason of keeping their
Congressman long IN office. This
opinion was expressed by the
speaker at meeting Of the Ma
tional Press Club. He said:
"The New England states and
the cities of Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh long ago learned the
wisdom Of keeping represents
tlves in Congress for many terms
In that way their congressman
get important committee chair
manships and have much to do
with the enactment Of legislation.
Five Philadelphia Congressman
who are serving in the House at
one time had a combined service
of 147 years. Philadelphia had
FIVE fathers of the House in sue
cesslon, and when the last one
died, John DaIzell, of Pittsburgh
became the next father.
Speaker Clark said man must
learn to be Congressman, and
declared that 1t is an unwise per
formance tor any district to
change representatives at short
notice.
The speaker cited as examples
to prove his assertion the careers
of many members who have serv.
ed long terms ln the lower House
of Congress.
The admoniton Of Speaker
Clark has direct application and
bearing on the present situation
IN the 18th Congressional Dis
trict of Pennsylvania. Here the
people will soon be called upon to
choose between Congressman B
K. Focht, a trained and expert
enced legislator as well as a hard
worker and product Of the mas
ses, and his opponent who Is to.
tally without legislative expert
ence, but who seeks TO displace
Mr.. Focht at this very time when
Of all occasions since the Civil
War the country needs careful,
experienced and dependable men
who are for our country first and
always but who are not swayed
by every passing fancy and dan
gerous emotion.
There Is no galnsaylng the po'
tency Of these facts, for where
would the country be if every
Congressional District in tn e
United States sent a green and
untrled man to meet the complex
problems now confronting and
likely to confront the nation dur.
ng the coming several years?
The force of the statement is ap-
parent and the people will know
what TO do.-Adv.

On our right there was considerable
artillery activity all day. Last night
and early this morning the enemy de-
livered a series of determined coun-
ter attacks on our trenches northwest
of Pozieres on broad front and with
considerable forces. Six times his in
fantry advanced to the attack, but ran
back, suffering very heavy losses. Our
guns and machine guns did great ex-
ecution. In no case did he succeed
in entering our lines.
Northwest of Bazentin we captured
about one hundred yards of trenches.
A counter attack made by the enemy
to-day from Martinpuich was repulsed
and some prisoners were captured by
us. A German aeroplane was brought
down behind our lines near Pozieres-

a French advance on Maurepas, we
have pushed forward our line both
west and southwest of Guillemont
West of High Wood We captured some
300 yards Of hostile trench about
300 yards in advance of our previ-
Gus line. East Of Mouquet Farm our
machine gun fire nipped in the bud q
German attack.
West of Vimy we exploded a mine
and occupied the crater, with only
slight opposition. Both We and the
enemy blew up small mines south Of
Loos, causing US neither casualties
nor damage.
