The x>dy will be brought to McBee lor burial. To the bereaved ones we intend our deepest sympathy, Ability and Length of Service Get the Big Places Champ Clark, in his speech to he "Baby Congressman," being :ircu!ated in this district says hat if a congressman has the lecessary qualities and you keep lim theie he is as certain to rise 'as the sparks are to fly upward." lear him: "It is an unwise performance or any district to change Representatives at short intervals. A lew congressman must begin at he foot of the class and spell up. 3f course, the more tact, energy, :ourage, and industry he has the quicker he will get up. If he x>ssesses these qualities, and if lis constituents will keep him n the House, he is as certain^! ise as the sparks are to fKupward. No hum^n po<ver can ieep him down.^J^rls only fair ind rational to assume that ev;ry Representative's constituents lesire to see him among the 'topnotchers." Let us take the present House ind see how long the men who lold the high places have served. I can not name all, but will nte a few as samples. Mr. Speaker Cannon is servng his fortieth "year. He holds he record, or, in pugilistic parance, 'he holds the belt," for ength of service* in the 'House n our entire history." In several Congresses he was chairman of he great Committee on Appropriations and then was Speaker iight years, only one man, Heny Clav, having been Speaker onger. I am serving my twenty-secpnd year. Minority Leader Mann s serving his twentieth year; Mr. Citchin, chairman of Ways and VIeans, his sixteenth; Mr. Fitzrerald, chairman of Appropriaions, his eighteenth; Mr. Moon, Jhairman of the Post Office and Post Roads, his twentieth; Mr. [ones, chairman of the Insular \ffairs and "father of the House," lis tvventv-sixth; Mr. Flood, chairman of Foreign Affairs, his Sixteenth; Mr. Hay, chairman of Vlilitary Affairs, his twentieth; Vlr. Glass, chairman of Banking md Currency, his sixteenth; Mr. Webb, chairman of the Judiciary, lis fourteenth; Mr. Adamson, chairman of Interstate and tor;ign Commerce, his twentieth; Mr. Sayden, chairman of the Liirary, his twentieth; Mr. Henry, :hairman of Rules, his twentieth; tfr. Lever, chairman of Agriculure, his sixteenth; Mr. Padgett, chairman of the Navy, his sixteenth; Mr. Burnett, chairman of .suujumu; on immigration, nisi nghteenth; Mr. Lloyd, chairman j Bargains, I have a few str am going to sell at you are in need ol your interest to see r 1 also have a lew low price. See R. L. Smit Gents Furnishings. R. L. sn Cash ! # 1 of Accounts, his twentieth; and Mr. Sparkman of Rivers and Aarbors, his twenty-second. I Here are other big chairman ships, but these will suffice to show that as a rule the big places go to old and experienced Members, for most of the men who rank close to chairmen are old timers." The Congressman from the Fifth District who has beer there for eighteen years is not named as a "topnotcher." Surel>, he has been given time enough by the District! The only other requisite, according to his friend, Clark, is letfpacity. Has he furnished it? If so, why has he not rison? (Advertisement.)
