CLARK SCORES C. Q. p. LEADERS
 AS CR0WLERS
Presidents Critics De- nounced By Famous
 Speaker.

Washington, D. C.. Aug. 8.-Aptly referring to the Republican party as "a concentrated grow1," Champ Clark, Democratic leader, flayed the carping critics of President Wilson in spirit cd speech in the House of Represen- tatives during a debate over the veto of the Sundry Civil appropriation bill because of the inadequate amount apportioned for the vocational train ing of disabled American soldiers. It was noticeable that the remainder of the debate was barren of presidential criticism; moreover, the appropriation for the soldiers was raised from six to fourteen million dollars through Democratic insistence.
 ''I have not always agreed with President Wilson, said MT. Clark, and I never do agree with everything that any man who ever lived does, and never will When I have differed with him I have come out into the open and fought like man. taking all the slander, lies and filth which editors. hoping for some reward, could heap. on me. I have not sidled in and out as the gentleman from Wyoming (Mondel1, Republican floor 1cader) and his followers are do- ing.
 Certainly the great Republican party does not propose to reduce it. self simply to a concentrated growl |? But that is exactly what you are do- Ing. The whole speech of the gentle man from Wyoming was nothing but a srowl, and he is getting to be the greatest growler on the American continent, bar none.
 Anybody can find fault. That Is one of the easiest performances known among mon. Any plug can go ont with an ordinary telescope and find spots on the sun. They are there they have always been and always will be: but notwithstanding the spots the sun continues to warm and light and fructify the world. You can talk all you please about the spots on the present President of the United States, but notwithstanding. the fact stands forth that by the verdict of the civilized world he is the foremost mna in all the world. He needs no euloEy. As Daniel Webster said about Mass1 chusetts. There she stands and you can judge for yourself and there is not a man fin the House who has @ny respect for his own reputation both for intelligence and veracity not 2 single one. who will deny that by the universal Suffrage of Amer ica he stands at the top of the heap"

THE EUROPEAN MAP
WILL RE DyFTERENT

The new map of Europe will put
all the school Biographies out Of
date. The map is slowly taking
shape, at the peace conference, but
only the rough outlines Of the coun-
tries are yet known.
In Central Europe there will be
five strong nationalities. They will
owe their existence to the war and
the victory OF the allies. There will
be a restored Poland, bordering on
the Baltic; CzechoslOvakit, made up
of Bohemia and adjoining Slovak
p.rts on Old Austria; there will be
Pumania. greatly enlarged at Aus
tria-Hungary's expense. There is the
new kingdom of the South Slavs,
composed of Serbia, Montenegro and
other lands on the east side of the
Adriatic. Greece too will be much
enlarged by taking parts of Tur-
key and Bulgaria, possibly Albania.
A ! of these strong nations will nat
urally be friendly to the allies that
gave them freedom and the oppor-
tunity for development.
These are not the only changes In
the map of Europe. There is hard
ly country on the continent, except
the neutral ones, that will not be
changed. Events.

KEEP THE LOAN FIRES BURNING

Liberty loan officials for Chicago
and the rest of the Seventh Federal
Reserve district issued statements to-
day warning the workers in the or
ganization that nothing should be
permitted to carry out the plans for
the fotation of the Victory Liberty
Loan, which positively, according to
the secretary of the treasury will be
than April 81.
1t is pointed out by the Liberty
Loan officials that the reports from
Washington are merely concerning
the details of the big loan to be float
ed in the spring, and that no matter
what the nature Of the securities,
whether notes or bonds, the Liberty
Loan workers have job cut out for
them and they must move swiftly and
with greater vim and determination
than ever before.
Charles II. Schweppe, director OF
the Victory Liberty Loan campaign,
made the following statement in his
appeal to the workers and the pub
| lie:
Now that Secretary of the Treas
ury Glass has definitely announced
that the Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign will be launched not later than
April 81 and that it will be an in
tensive popular campaign with a
view of obtaining the best possible
distribution, workers in all branches
of the general organization must
leave nothing undone to crown the
campaign with the degree of success
that the great war victory warrants.
1--WE don't know yet what means
the government will adopt TO raise
the money-whether through short
term treasury notes or long term
bonds, but we do know that our job
has been cut out for us and that we
must move swiftly and with greater
! vim and determination than ever
before II is traditional that the
! American people never start anything
| they can't finish and / have no
doubt that. whatever plan the gov
lernment may adopt the American
peonle Will deliver the goods.
THE working out OF details by
/ congress and the treasury department
plan to be in readiness 10 meet the
task with every inch OF lighting ar
NOR on The authorities at Wash
ington have the interests of the peo-
ole in mind. and have no dourt that
aside from the patriotic appeal the
campaign will offer highly attractive
Inducements in an investment way.
"The Secretary OF the treasury has
laid emphasis on the necessity of
getting the widest distribution Of the
Government securities. and he de-
bends on the loyal Liberty Loan or
eanizations to accomplish that. But
the organizations, no matter how
earnest and vigorous they may be in
their efforts, cannot get very far un-
less the public recognizes the neces-
sity of success and lends its best sup
port The American people can be as
patriotic in time of peace as in war,
and we all must realize that our part
of the big war lob will not have been
| finished until the bills are paid and
lthe victory made complete.
1.-THE organization in this district
will measure up to the rosiest expec-
tations ,as in the past, and at the
end of the campaign the district will
have every reason to feel proud OF
it's practical patriotism :"

you do this and the answer is the pu-
pills and parents are anxious for them
to leave the country school Parents,
these country schools are your
schools and it is your duty to give
them more attention than you have
been the last three or four years. The
war, we hope, is over, now let us turn
to the problems of peace which are
many and one of the most important
is the problem OF the rural school.
At first l thought | would not send
any questions for twelve year old pu-
pills for any experienced school man
or woman knows it is rare for a
twelve year old pupil to make good
in the high school. But I decided to
send questions to all as l have no le-
gal right to say when a pupil shall
enter the examination more than that
the teacher shall certify as to their

pills are not ready for the examina-
ton and have given offense in so do
ing. But parents, this is great
mistake.
AS I said I started to send ques

in at last that I run short of ques-
tion1 and then had to do the best /
could. This will explain when you
get your package any shortage there
may be. The twelve year olds may
write in May if they do not find any
material for them in some of the
packages. The first packages sent
out have enough for all. The last
packages were in the postoffice on

What 1t Was About

A Canadian soldier and, public
house loafer disturbed the peace one
day of the little village inn.
The soldier, his face study in con-
centrated wrathfulness, had the civil
ian by the scruff of the neck and was
apparently just on the point of giving
him thrashing when belated po-
liceman put in an appearance.
Now then, what's all this about?"
demanded the constable.
What's it ahout?" replied the Ca
madam, giving the wretched loafer an
awful shake to emphasize his words.
why, he called me conscientious
eiector! Now watch him being eject
