SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK.

There are a few people, now and
then, who find fault with Champ
Clark. But, nevertheless, he re-
mains the greatest Roman of them
all, we don't except Thomas II. Ben
ton or any other man, living or
dead. He has brought worldwide
distinction for Missouri. He is low
ed and admired from one end Of
this great country to the other.
We like the following, a quota
tation from the Atlanta Constiu-
ton:
Genius, like death and music, is
one of the few great democratic
things in the universe. 1t beats
down the dividing lines of caste and
party and station and takes as its
own the tribute of the man on the
top and of the man at the bottom of
the latter.
The press reports, which aim to
preserve a jealous impartiality be-
tween men of all parties and shades
of opinion, picture him in his recent
speech before the House of Repre-
sentatives as dragging laughing and
cheering republicans and democrats
alike at the wheels of his chariot OF
eloquence, wit and shrewd logic.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, fur
nishes one of the most stiking ex-
emplifications of this law.
Nor did his drolly-put references
obscure the keen edge OF his wisdom
and philosophy. Beneath the wag-
gerry and the sly thrusts runs a
strong, clear and just estimate OF
the national situation and of the
big men and measures that are fig
uring in it's gradual development.
His appeal for unanimity among
the democrats and for a firm allegi-
ance to- the principles of Jefferson
and Jackson put a fitting climax to
one of the most remarkable address
es the House is likely to hear this
session.
The enthusiasm and admiration
that swept away all party lines is in
itself a speaking tribute to his ge-
MUS and his personal popularity.

the time of her death, and was
faithful to that organization, as

sympathetic and tender; friend of
genuine sincerity; a neighbor of the
most kindly spirit. There were few
ike ueI.
She is survived by her husband

day. Rode about 40 miles in truck.
Saw quite a lot of country. They
are harvesting their grain here now.
They do most of the work by hand
They don't seem to have many tools,
machinery, to work with. They
work a good many oxen. 1t looks
rather odd. Once in a while you
will see a horse and COW hitched to-
gether. Their house and barn is
usually all in one building-they
use one end for the barn and live in
the other end of the building.
Nothing more for this time.
