CHAIP CLARIS PLATF01N. leader Declares That Appointment of Committees Should Not be in Speaker's Hands. Washington, Dec. 16.-Representa tive Champ Clark gave out a statement: tonight, fuliy outlining his platform as the prospective speaker of the Demo cratic house of representatives in the next congress. He proclaims himself in favor of the appointment of com Iiitees of the house by a committee. rather than by the speaker, and he state his belief that the -tariff should be revised schedule by schedul' rather than in one single bill. Those two subjects, says Mr. Clark, are the ones upon which he has been continually importuned to make some statement. The Democratic members of the house today sent out a call for a cau cus January 19 of the Democratic membership of the next house of rep resentatives. Mr. Clark's setatement Ist oth an explanation of the call and a d-'ciaration of his own bpatform as the probable speaker of the ,house. Caucus January 19. The caucus will select a ways and means zor mittee and a rules cciomit tele, somewhat larger than the present c&nmmati!ei-es. Mr. Clark believes that one of the committees should then be empower -ed to select the other committees of the house. "'Tbere are two thecries of tariff revision," said he in his statnment, "revision by one general bill and re vision by separate bills for separate schedules. This is a matter not of principle, but of method. "Individually, I prefer Lhe sch-me -) separate bills for separate sched -ulies, taking the scledules with th. mest o;nxious i.tw s first, perbaps -in certain cases having separate bills for particular items." The statement proceeds to say that whatever method is decided upon, al, bearing as comprehensive as that which ,preceded the framing of the Payne-Aldrich law will be had by the new ways and means committee. On Tariff Revision. "The assumption growing out of ig norance in certain quarters," says Mr. Clark, "that President Taft or Sena tor Cummins or any other Renublican has discovered something new in tariff revision by the separate scheme iI - prepostierous. As far back as tile 52d congress Mr. Chairman Springer in troduced separate bills for senarate, ischedules and for narticulr 4Mems. which were derisively denomin-ated 'Springer's pop gun hills' by "ennb lican speakers and w"ite-s; an^ T~'er al' years before Juio Snr'- was -Chairman of the com'mittee on ways and means, Mr. McKenzie, of ~wke achieved both gre'e renown "-nd the soubriquet of 'Quirin,o .Ti"m' ren' ing the passage of '- hill not'"~i ine on the free liet. and to"'- -y oher item whatsoever in a"n tarf schedule." Mr. Clark declaroe he is -' 'i favor of inviting to the cane' '1f the Democratic members-e~ Ue goes on to say that his effo-rt~ last two years have been largely to the unification of fl' 'A crats in the house and for t -the members-elect should be ~ien every opportunity. if tha t uni~-' to be maintained,. tn exnrm~' +'-i choice in the naminrg of the ~4 of the committees. Doesn't Want Anpointive Thwer Two questions, Mr. Clark nys in-' terest the country, how the Democrats will select its committees and~ what the party will do with the tariff. This' last question has been answeredl. and proceeding to the first, the sta'ement says: "As to the mod-e of selecting comn mittees in the event of my own elec tion to the speakership. I would not care the snap of -my finiger to everecine the power of appointing them. I have state~d that to every Democratic mem ber who cared to inauire as to my on i..nion. The exercise of that nower would undoubtedly 'have certain un pleasan t features." cu;s Of th- tv-o plans for the ele'-tion of er directly by the house itself, Mr. Clerk favors the Tast named. This is based on the fact that in the debatl1e States the ir.''- ordent vd e-rs appear to favor it and the future speaker c.f the house frankly ackn ow led.ges that it may be adopted because of the influence it would have in re turning a Democratic president and a Democratic congress in 1912. CHILD LABOR LAW REVISION. State Committee Asks Gradual Raise of Age Limit-Poverty Exempt ions and Birth Registration. Columbia. Dec. 16.--The South Car olina child labor committee met here today. Among the members of the committee present were Chairman Geo B . Cromer, Dr. A. T. Jamison, Bishop -Guerry. Miss Louisa B. Poppenheim. )Dr. Wel.tner, Prof. Hand. Dr. 0. Y. nn-:,,zs th,? Mno. Tn. A.

Hanw, Geer and Summers, a conunittee rep resenting the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers, were prsenT request ing to be heard and were invited to ap near before the child labor committee for the purpose of presenting the point of view of the mill owners regarding child labor conditions in th State and the practicability of amendments to the present child labor law. After the representatives of' the manufacturers retired, the committee 3dopted the following resolul 0ins: Resolved, Th-u any reference to the raising of the ago limit be stricken >ut of our child labor bill to be sub mitted to the general assembly at the :oming session. Resolved, That the South Carolina :hild labor committee places itself on record as favoring a gradual ris- of the age limit to 14 years as soon as in the opinion of the committee, the :onditions are favorable. Resolved, That a copy of these -pro meedings be sent to the newspapers of he State with the request that they be published with editorial comment, to he end that public sentiment in behalf f child labor reform be created. The action of the commit-tee today results in a somewhat altered legisla tive programme. That is to say the general assembly will be asked to pass two bills. A bill amending the present law by repealing the poverty exemption and prohibiting the night work of ,hildren under sixteen. A bill to provide for the registration f birth and marriages. No effort will be made by the child labor com mittee for the -present to secure an in rease in the age limit. The cotton mill people want a compulsory educa tion law before any other legislation is undertaken relative to the child ren in the mill communnities.

This is re markable, owing to similar loans made by same people to other countries, about the same time. Where do the French people get all of this money? Jno. D. Rockefeller, after returning from one of his trips to Paris, tells the secret in seven words: "The people of France save their money." YOU cannot afford to take any un necessary risk with your hard-earned savings. During these prosperous times the temptation to invest in some form of speculation is very great. All sorts of inducements are offered, and, unless great caution is exercised, errors are likely to be made which will prove costly. The shrewd investor does not put his money in to every scheme presented which promises large returns, or into some speculation guaranteed to return you something for nothing; rather is he satisfied with ABSOLUTE SECURITY for both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST such as is afforded by this Bank. Would it not be well for you to begin saving NOW, according to the policy of .the French people? Your account, large or small will be welcomed.
