OVATION TO CLARK
Members of House Show High Esteem
for Their Speaker.

Washington, April 27.-Speaker
Clark. after declining the senatorship
from Missouri, offered him by Gov
ernor Gardner. was greeted with a
storm of handclapping when he took
his place at the speakers desk.
Republicans and Democrats united
in the tribute. Clark made a brief
speech. saying his quarter century's
service in the house had convinced
him his greatest usefulness was there.
Republican Leader Gillette. respond
ing. praised Clark's fairness as a pre-
siding officer.
Capitol political opinion is that the
speaker was convinced in a two-days
study that the Democrats have an ex-
cellent chance to retain control of the
next house. The general consensus
has been that if he thought the Re-
taken his seat in the upper house
rather than return as minority
leader.
After good naturally gaveling the
house to order from it's applause at
his entrance Clark said:
"Gentlemen of the house, l am glad
that you endorse the action l took
about whether 1 should stay here or
go to the senate. OF course to be a
senator from Missouri is a great hon
or. No state in the Union has ever
had a higher average of senatorial
ability than that displayed by the
double line of senators from Missouri
Several of them were great men. ali
of them were good men, and only one
or two of them could by any POSSIBLE
ity be considered small men.
1t presented to me the most serious
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1918-04-27

question that has ever risen in my life
from political standpoint. The
enormous amount of solicitation from
Missouri compelled me in the very
nature of things to consider it. The
generous conduct of the Republicans
would have made it easier for me to
take the senatorship than if they had
not so acted and l want to publicly
thank them not only for suspending
the rules-at the request of Mr.. Gil
lette to permit me to attend Senator
Stones funeral. but also for the ten
der they made Thursday morning
Il gave the matter consideration
for two days and nights. l left out
of it SO far as was humanity possible,
my own political fortunes. The only
question in my mind was where lay
my duty to my country. In this
exigency of our affairs and of the af-
fairs of the world, it is the supreme
duty of every citizen to do everything
he can to uphold the hands of the ad :
niniStration and the glory of his
country, and he ought to be where he
can do the most good. That was what
l had to consider. I finally decided
that on account of the affection and
esteem so often manifested to me by
the house of representa- iveS, without
a man missing. my duty is here"

MEAT SCARCE IN PARIS
Three Moatless Days a Week To Be
Enforced Hereafter.

Paris, April 27.-The introduction
of a system of three meatless days a
week is announced in an official note
1t is explained that the gradually
dwindling reserve of frozen meat, the
necessity of feeding part of the Amer
lean army and occasionally supplying
the wants of other allies force the
government to draw more and more
on French cattle stocks.
Inscriptions intermediates oper-
ating in local markets, it says, have
taken advantage of these conditions
to run up prices. with the result that
the raisers keep back the best animals
from the requisitioning officers. This
practice has a double effect, in that it
makes it difficult to feed the army
and sends up out of all bounds the
price of meat for civilians.

To Editor Topeka State Journal:

To Editor Topeka State Journal:
1 am interested in the controversy
between the editor of the Topeka
State Journal and ]. o. Stevic re-
is either ignorant of the facts re-
garding the loyalty of the shipbuilders
or he is putting himself in the posi-
ton of defending one of the most con-
spicuous disloyal acts committed since
the beginning of this war. Does he
not know that the dis1oyal acts of the
shipbuilders on the Pacific coast en-
barrassed our government more than
any one act since the war began?
There is TO question about the
loyalty of labor generally, or OF the
LOYALTY of organized labor. If or
that would be only onetenth of the
laboring class. However, the ship
builders have not been loyal and no
loyal citizen who knows of their con-
duct will uphold them.
Mr.. Stevic wants the newspapers TO
be explicit The following quotation

facts therein can be substantiated by
