KICKS ON CLARK AS LEADER.
Democratic Reorganization Com
mittee Issues Statement.

Another. shot was fired against
Champ Clark as democratic leader in
the next Congress when the demo-
cratic reorganization committee to-
day issued statement through Rep
resenta tive William A. Ayers of Kan
sas, the only democrat from that
state to be elected to the Sixty-sixth
Congress.
The Unprecedented condition of the
democratic party going through the
Sixty-ffth Congress without single
party caucus is deplored by Repre-
Sentative Ayers. who asserts that the
party leaders sat with satisfied
countenances' while attacks were be-
ing made upon the administration and
the party policies. He declares for a
representative steering committee
which will chose the party leader,
and says that il the old order con-
tinues out of sympathy or fear
there won't be much incentive for
person to remain a democrat"

II believe that when the treaty comes

over receipt of the anonymous COM

affair. His place of business is not
Il great distance from the eleventh
precinct police station, but he seemed
to prefer to come all the way to the

rather than relate it to precinct po-
licemen.
Nothing was seen of him, however,
at either the police station or head
quarters. and yesterday morning when
he failed to return home his wife be-
came alarmed and had the police to
start a search for him. Mrs. De Vail
said her husband did not show her
the letter and she was unable TO give
the police details IS to its contents
The wife expressed the fear that
something serious had happened to
keep her husband aay from nome.
They were married four years ago. she
said. and there was no reason for him
TO so away of his own accord. She
told the police that her husband was
a man of exemplary habits; that he
seldom was away from home except
when at his place OF business, and that
he had spent practically every night
at home during his married life.

ALL'S WELL

Farmers In Ten Days of Nice Wealth
err Sowed Much Wheat.

The farmers very generally avail
edthemselves, of the nice weather pre-
ceding the rain Wednesday to get in
the belated wheat crop.
The spell of open, pleasant wealth
er gave the farmers opportunity to
catch up in a large measure with
their wheat sowing. The farmers
were very pessimistic while the rains
continued to fall with unparalleled
vigor during October, just at the
time when they should have been
sowing their wheat according to the
usual schedule. And predictions
were freely made that the sowing
this year would be largely curtailed
and that much which was sown would
not make anything.
But with the return of sunshiny
days which rapidly dried out the
ground and made it tillable again,
the farmers forgot their forebodings
and turned to, it with a will to get in
the wheat crop. The result is that
the shortage in the acreage has been,
in a large measure overcome and
prospects are good for a good crop

NO LIMIT TO
PART|SANSH|P

Washington, Nov. 28.-Not con-
tent with carrying partisan politics
to the limit in every phase and &C.
tivity of its special session, the Re-
publican Congress has gone outside
the fold of strictly domestic rela-
tons to embarrass the United States
abroad by what seems to have been
a deliberate attempt to snub the ma
tons represented in the Internation-
al Labor Conference, now in session
here under the auspices of the Lea
que of Nations. After authorizing
the President to call the conference
and placing the United States in the
position of host to the civilized ma
lions of the world Congress then pro
seeded to show every possible sign
of caddishness.
In the first place the United States
was not officially represented in the
conference as member of the Lea
que, to which we were the official
host, and it was made apparent to
the conference that not only was it
not the desire Of the Republican ma
iority that the United State should
participate, but that same majority
looked with contempt on the League
of Nations, the parent of the confer
ence, and had set out to "knife it"
in the interest of partisanship.
But this was not enough. Prob
ably the most humorous act of the
past session was when the Republi-
can partisans permitted Great Bri-
tan to buy even the small American
flag that decorated the table assign
ed to the United States at the con-
ference.
Early in October, when it was de-
cided that the Labor Conference
should be invited to hold its meeting
in Washington, Congress was asked
to advance funds. 1t was then def
initely promised by the Representa-
tives of the League that this govern
ment would be reimbursed by the
League for funds so advanced, the
funds to be used in fitting out quart
ers and providing the necessary ma
chinery for the conference. That
this agreement was acceptable to
Congress is apparent from the fact
that at the last moment an made
quate appropriation was made, but
not until after funds had been adj
vanced by the British Treasury. The
American appropriation did not be-
come available until tlRee end q half

two kinds, the heavy ones used in win

Greeks borrowed floral designs from
the Persians, which loan was amply
repaid with the development Of Gre
clan art. Venetian rugs are also very
rare.

Ships and Their Names.

Peace has brought with it the incl
dental discussion in a section OF the
English press of the meaning Of and
reason for the names of certain ships
in the British navy. Truly my lords
of the admiralty, acting as sponsors,
have gone to some strange sources for
the nomenclature Not merely coun-
tries and cities have been drawn upon,
but many of the creatures figuring IN
a menagerie have been freely utilized.
Then there are the vessels named
after the public schools and institu-
lions Of England, such as Uppingham,
Tonbridge, Westminster, Rugby, Chel-
tenham, Epson and so on. If Elton
should feel Jealous over the matter Of
its neglect it can take a kind of re-
flected comfort in the fact that there
is a destroyer called Windsor.

weeks after the start of the confer
ence and just about one week before
the Conferees had determined to adj
journ.
Congress was asked to advance
100000 to carry the conference for
sixty days, all funds unused to re-
vert to the United States Treasury
and the government to be reimburs-
ed for all funds used. Congress
eventually appropriated $4,000 which
became available so late that Great
Britain in the meantime had to adj
vance funds in order that this coun-
try might entertain. From these
funds the afore-mention American
flag was bought. The conference to-
date has cost approximately $780,
600, to be paid out of the League of
Nations Treasury. Several days ago
the advance of the United States
congress of $65,OOO became available
and it is/doubtful whether any of
it will be used. The story of our
penury has gone broadcast through
the necessity of appealing to Great
Britain to suppl funds. The dele
gates to the Labor Conference from
all parts of the world are acquaint-
ed with it.
