The Passing of Champ Clark

With the death of Champ Clark militant
figure of the Democratic party has passed into
the great beyond. He one of the outstand~
ing leaders of his party, and had it not been for
William J. Bryan's sensational attack upon him
in the Baltimore convention in 1912 he would
have been the standard bearer of his party in
that campaign and probably would have entered
the White House. Only the two-thirds rule of
the convention prevented his nomination over
that of Woodrow Wilson.
MI. Clarks popularity extended far beyond
the narrow circle of partisan friendships in con-
gress. Many of his bitterest political opponents
were his dearest friends socially. His fairness
as presiding officer, the impartiality of his rul-
ings, and his genial attitude toward all members
made him one of the popular speakers who have
presided over the house.
The respect which Democratic and Republic
can members showed when of his death
reached the house chamber is indicative of the
esteem in which he was held there. Thousands
of Democrats who were attracted to him because
he voiced their political views, we'll as thou
sands of Republicans who respected him for his
manly qualities, regret the dictate Of providence
which summoned him from mortality into i'm
mortality.

The Secretary of Agriculture

The presence of Henry C.. Wallace as secre-
tary of agriculture in the Harding cabinet has
received the general approval of farmers. They
believe that he has studied national problems
from the agricultural standpoint. Mr.. Wallace's
long study of the marketing problem leads farm
ers to believe that he will suggest solution.
The public generally is beginning to chang
it's attitude toward the department of agricul-
ture. For many years it believed that agricul-
ture had no bearing on other industries and was
not directly related to the veal and woe of the
nation. The department of agriculture con-
sidered to be of benefit only to the farmer
partment of agriculture and an able secretary in
the cabinet are needed not only for the sake of
the farmer but also for the good of the whole
nation
So long as our population tends to congregate
in large cities, which depopulates the rural Sec
tons, increases the cost of farm labor and even
reduces the number of acres which a farmer can
cultivate, the problem of the farmers will remain
of vital and significant interest to the urban
dweller. The depletion of the fertility of the SOIL
effective marketing, cooperative buying, and
many other topics that formerly interested only
the farmer now have taken on a new meaning to
the man who lives in the city. He realizes that
these very problems have direct and distinct
bearing the price of flour, potatoes and of
other foodstuffs which he consumes Conse-
quenty his interest has changed from a mere
passive knowledge to an active concern for the
welfare of that industry which must supply us
with food.

Defending the High Schools

Attacks on an alleged laxity in the deport-
our country are ably answered by the 5Philadel-
phia Public Ledger in editorial which says
that few healthy children are saints, and eff
children were cherubim and seraphim, teachers
and parents would not have to educate them.'
Children, says the Public Ledger, the fallible
offspring of mortals far from perfect.
~ No sensible person condones the excuses
sometimes committed by youth, nor supports an
errng boy or girl. Parents and teachers must
exercise rigid discipline to keep boys and girls in
the channels of proper development. They must
warn against pitfalls and remove dangerous
temptations, as we'll as apply disciplinary meas
ures.
But if we insist that the present generation
of children is retrograding from high moral
standards and is stepped in ways of sin and cor
rupton, we are letting our imagination get the
better of our common sense.
"A sure sign of growing DID, says the Public
Ledger, sis the readiness to impression any one
who will listen the fact that the world is very
evil, the times are waxing late. There is moth
ing in these plants as to the graceless and
mannerless children of the century. Each age
bemoans decadence from the generation left
behind" % D.. .t<'
Referring to the condition of our high schools,
the Public Ledger says that they better than
they We're $50 are the high school chill
dren. If the rest of the country in the war had
done so we'll as the high school children did,
there would be nothing in our record to bring the
blush of shame to the cheek Of patriotic
American"
Most high school pupils are shrewd enough
to see that if they fail to improve their chance at
school they lose out in lfes race, because of the
fierce competition. That fact is enough to keep
most of them straight and at work. To come in
occasional contact with any group of children of
the American school today is to be thrilled with
sense of the latent power for the future and race
The paramount misfortune of our imperfect edu-
cational system is that we usually crowd our
schoolrooms with such mobs of undisciplined lit
tie people for our underpad and overWorked
teachers to train that the thrill comes too rarely
because of the pressure and fatigue that sap the
teachers vitality and make it all she can do to
keep going"

CHAPTER III

On the second meeting between
Carpenter and Paul Til, there vas
much speculation as to what would
happen. The first scrap, over the
2O-round route. had been a draw.
This time the go was for 10 rounds.
Would Carpenter speed up, In the
shorter route? That's Just what he
did, and won the decision.
Georges was fast taking on weight
and flirting with the feather divi-
sion. Just previous to graduating
he disposed of Pickard and Lampin,
via the X. o. route and won on q
foul from Young Warner. II was
ihe second time he had darkened
the lamps OF Lampin.
Georges Takes Lacing
. Few battles came during the
featherweight days. One OF the
first was a setback, at the hands OF
Buck Shine AN English fighter.
Carpenter took a good licking in
s rounds.
Following in short order came
another defeat when he clashed
with Young Snowfall, another Eng
lishman.
Paul Til, still a topnotcher, then
made a bid for third match with
Georges. The two fought to a draw
in Is rounds. Fighting men whom
he had already clashed with, was
one of the best little thing Carpen-
tier did in the early days. He was
always willing to give man an
other chance.
Young Warner followed Til's at
tempted comback. He had lost to
Georges, in their first mix, on a
foul, and contended another bat,

tier was willing and the two jour
