What Speaker Champ Clark
Said In the House of Repre-,
sentativeS, March is, 1916,
on The Making OF a Con-
8reSSlnan

mo man should be elected tc
the House simply to crafty his
ambition. All members should bs
elected for the country.
"A man has to learn to be a
Representative just rs well as lie
must learn to be blacksmith, &
carpenter, a farmer, an engineer,
a lawyer, or a doctor.
Useful and influential Con-
gressmen are made largely by ex-
perience and practice.
1T is an unwlse performance
for any district to change Repro
sentatlves at short intervals. y
new Congressman must begin at
the foot of the class and spell up.
Former Speaker Cannon is
serving his tortieth year.
Il am serving my twenty-second
year; Minority Leader Mann is
serving his twentieth year; Mr..
kltchlD, Chairman Of Ways and
Means, hi, sixteenth. Messrs
Glllett and Cope. who arc serv-
ing their twcnty-fourth year, are
the ranking Republicans on APP
and Foreign Affairs.
Go thru the whole list and YOU
will find, with few exceptions, that
the men of long service have the
high places.
The best rule, it seems to ,ne,
is for a district to select a man
with at least fair capacity, indus
'rious, honest, energetic, sober,
md courageous, and to keep him
here as long as he discharges his
luties faithfully and well. Such
man will gradually rise to hi Oh
position and influence in the
louise. His wide acquaintance with /
Members helps him amazingly in

City
Dear MadanI:-
10 those who did not witness
the game last Sunday betwee
iZwolle and our team, seems to he
conveyed the idea that it termin.
ated in ROW or SQUABBLE
and that We were to blame for it
all: no doubt this idea is being
conveyed to them by those who
showed the wrong spirit by bet
ting on the visiting team and then
felt deserted whep they saw that
they were supporting bunch of
CUTTERS and that after all the
/ Old HOME club could deliver the
goods.
For the benefit of those who
were absen:, Or also for those who
were present but seemed to not
understand Just why the game was
forfeited to The Natchitoches team
we wish to make an explanation:
1t Was our half (known as the
last half Of the sixth inning, the
score was l to 0 in Zwolle's favor:
the two first men at bat had been
put out; Quar!es, the th,rd man
up singled to right field and ad-
vanccd to lllir'! base when Hyams
NE next man up singled to left
held it now stood as: Two down,
runners on first or third, the home
team one run behind and Jackson
at bat; jackson bit to short-stop..
who tumbled the ball: QuarIes
scored easily from third, tieing
the score; the short-stop recovered
the ball, threw to first to put out
he batter; McInnis the home
plate Umpire, seeing that the base
umpire lwho was standing in short
left field would be unable to see
w. play al first base, followed up
Tic r'inntr to first, close. enough !
to make a decision aud declared
'iI:n safe; Hyams continues to run
~ attempting to score and when
h" Catches! say him coming SIG
called 10 frs, base to relay the
,:!I home; this WAS done, but
!iyams was declared safe by Nc
INNS the home umpire, score then
being Natchtoches 2, ZwoIIe /,
md one runner on first. Then
'ne of the Zwolle men ran from
he bench and said to the base
umpire, What did you call The
nan at iirs;! The umpire answered
He is out" Then his decision
vas questioned by the captain of
'Hr team and the base umpire
anne in and asked McInnis what
e thought of the play, McInnis
declared the runner was safe by a
'ood majority, then the base UNI.
IRE admitted he did not see the
lay and If Mc1nnis said the run
er was safe, then the runner was
afe, but requested that we return
iyams to third base making the
Gore revert / to 4, this was Just as
polish Il request as if we had re.

quested that they return their
runner to third in the second in
ming because the pitcher had
crossed the catcher and caused a
pass ball, thereby letting in the
only run tfcy succeeded in svor-
ing.
Umpire McInnis then called
time and requested that play be
resumed; the Zwolle team failing
to 90 SO, the game was forfeited
to Natchitoches 3 to 0.
We offer this explanation in Or
der to let our friends and patrons
get the right idea, we have shown
on previous occasions that we can
stand losing, but we will never
consent to being robbed on such
a loose play as this was last Sun
day.

20 back and forth home, and ia
ride around with DR.. Bath making
calls. Roy rightly thinks the
sani'ariGm Il great place, and the
doctors the best ever. We would
not be surprised if he is thinking
of being a doctor himself some
day. Myrtle Davis, from Ward

nurses can look after him AID save

the things he wants to do in the

Miss Lucille Souce, a bright,
young Miss from Campti, did not
enjoy her stay at the saniturium
as much as she would have ii her
tou>l!s hadn't been so sore. But
the nooi doctors have them cut
now and we hope she won't he

w. G. Hurst. and aged man at
Grapes Bluff, who has been
making his home with Mr.. and

wanted to spend his last days with
his relatives in Illinois, since he

The good neighbors fitted him up
with clothes and the Red Gross
gave him ticket to St. Louis.
and this old gentleman, nincty-two

he was met by his nephew. We
hope he will have u very happy
reunion with his people. !
