JowmLI Washington, June 2s. Ths boom for Champ Clark for president needs repair, If apparent injurlea to it prove to be real. Mr. Clark seems to have history, a hi Nrmeata which la pursuing him relentlessly, and making leas and leaa likely hla nomination by the Pemocrsts In 1(12. When he waa flrat boomed for tha presidential nomination, It waa unkindly cited that he had ten for to yeara committed tinreS'-rvedly to "rating tha walla of the custom houses to the ground," and other expressions that wars) baaed upon hla profeaaed oppoaltlon to the protective tariff. But somehow theae frequent commltmenta aeemed not to Injure him ao very much, when they were raked up by the historians. Hurts Oam loom. But when he turned aalde from the lifelong devotion to free trade and a food for the tariff en raw wool. It hurt hla boom a little. Then, too, in taking up tho raw wool tariff Idea, he went against the dealrea of W. J. Bryan, who had up to that moment been accepted popularly aa the atrongnat feature of the Clark boom. It la now believed that Bryan will not lend hla influence to boost Clark Into ill uwnucriuc piy Biuummi vu. But, to pile trouble on trouble. Speak er Clark rui against the boom of Jo aeph W. Folk, who, aa does Champ, halls from Missouri. Folk waa the cel ebrated chaaer of grafters, and won a national following of folk who believe ha proved thereby to be of presidential dimension Folk waa first prosecuting attorney In St. Louis, and he sent man to jail who were commonly regarded aa ton big In business to come under the application of the law. Was Elected OoTsraor. Then Mlssourlans elected him gover nor, and he continued to do good thlnga for the people of that atate. Hla fame grew and hla ambition likewise. He wanted to be a United States senator from Missouri. James A. Reed and Pave Francis also wanted to. Folk got Into the fight. and finally It developed and the friends of Reed learned that Folk'a real ambition waa for the Demo cratic nomination for the presidency. Folk drew out In favor of Reed, who with that help defeated Francla and today sits In the United States senate, and acknowledges that his Incumbency he owes largely to the good graces of Joseph W. Folk. When the divided Democracy or Mls eourl harmonised Its differences and aent Reed here to Washington, one of the clauses of the bargain was that the united party of Missouri would give to Folft the Democratic delegation in 1913 to the national convention. Thin wan an absolutely open contract, made publicly before the people of that atate. and advertised everywhere. Ana It was signed, sealed and delivered at a big banquet of b'lT Democrats from all over tho state, and at the elate conven tion of the party, too. Wrote Besolution Himself. The embarrassing part of the busl nesn so far as Champ Clark Is con cerned In that lie himself wrote the res olution that bound M'ssourl Democrats to vote for Joseph V. Folk for t.e presidency In the speaker s chair. Some ktnd friends made him believe he was of presidential size, and Induced him to let them boom him for president. He liked b-ing Induced, too, and It Is re ported that the session at which he was Induced did not last very long, nor were the Inducers much exhausted when they had accomplished their tank. Up rose the Joteph W. Folk adher ents snd charged treachery and recre ancy by Clark to his solemn promires given to Folk unci Missouri was not long In getting stirred up ovef the mat ter. The Folk folks demand that Champ redeem his pledges; the Clarkltes seek eome sort of logic whereby they may find an answer to the question when ars disposed to use this answer when the promlser Is sorry he promised. M ADEQUATE T SAYS A. B, MANLEY President of Construction Also "Says He Is Not Seeking Removal of Napier. WANTS CAMS AND REAL COWS The Public Works Engineering Co, which la Installing the new cremation plant for the city, la In no way seek Ing . the removal of Superintendent Harry N. Napier, declares A. B. Man- ley, prealdent of the company. "It la a fact, however." said Mr. Manley, "that Mr. Napier has figured mora by It per cant into tho coat of conaumlng each ton of garbage than the price stipulated la tha agreement between the Publio Engineering Works and the city. It la also a fact that the city has not delivered garbage at tha plant In accordance with the terma of the ' agreement. Aa to tha statement that the plant la Inadequate, that la non sens. Never at any time have wo been afraid that tha plant, when turned over to the city, will not meet every requirement In tha contract ' "An expert from the aaat who baa laspected tha Incinerator, declares It to be working In admirable manner. He saya he was present when 10 tons of garbage were put Into the plant. He statea that during the consumption of this material tha temperature actually roae SO per cent, proving tho heating apparatus to bo working In excellent manner." Superintendent Napier haa requeated Mayor fUmon to algn an order author izing him to continue furnishing gar bage to the plant after tho end of the 180-day teat period. Mr. Napier de clared he would not -accept the respon sibility himself. The mayor declined o grant the request, intimating, It la said, that If the superintendent did not continue to furnish tha garbage, he would get aome one who would. After Health Officer Wheeler and the mayor had held a conference. Dr. Whoeler gave orders to Mr. Napier to supply the refuse matter aa heretofore until further notice. Superintendent Napier declared that to continue to furnish the garbage would make the city liable for the acceptance of the plant, which, he aaya, Is Inadequate.

Guiseppe Nacco, the murderer of Antonio Can diano. with whom he lived, was electro cuted here today. The sight of the chair threw Naco Into hysterics, and screaming wildly he broke for liberty. At the door of the death room he was overpowered, hauled back, pushed Into the chair and the straps adjusted. Then, atlll struggling, he wept bitter ly, begging for a chance to kiss the crucifix. Father Robettl, chaplain of the prison, presented th e crucifix to Nacco's lips, and a moment later 1800 volts of electricity shot through his body. Life, however, was not soon ex tinct, and two more contacts were re quired before the slayer's spirit fled. ST.

Rain which fell Friday afternoon and night generally throughout the Colum bia River basin insures a wheat crop in the Horse Heaven country. Fanners are of opinion that the winter wheat yield will be heavier than for several years. Weather during the earlier spring months was Ideal for growing tho crop, but within the last ten days the wheat had begun to show the 111 effects of hot winds. It Is estimated tht v. n ra than a mllllnn kn.V.i. - wheat will be harvested in the lower Horse Heaven country this year. The hardest worked citizens of St. Johns are said to be the policemen, only four in number, who have to police a territory nearly four miles square both day and night. Chief R. McKln ney and Thomaa Witney have the larg est share of the work, 12 hour shifts. When anything happens that requires the police, they are always ready for duty, but when two things happen sim ultaneously, one or tho other can not receive the attention neceasary. The city council recently cut the force down to three men, but In response to a strong demand put one back. At night the work falls upon George W. Dunbar and George Ethrldge, who are contin ually1 tramping the town. CAPITAL PLEADS FOR NEGRO WOMAN'S LIFE (United Fran Leased Wire.) Washington. June 26.

Why not grow carrots there aa well aa chrysanthe mums'? i Colonel E. A. Smith of Spokane, editor of the Twlce-A-Week Spokesman-Re view, who la In Portland for a day or , two, wants to know, 'lis also rises to Inquire why our parka should be given up to a display of foreign plants and i animals to the exclusion pt common and useful vegetables. This Is only a small part of the pres ent acheme of things that Colonel Smith wants changed. He Is strong for an ed ucatlon In agriculture for tha city child aa well as for the lad who la reared la the country. In fact, ha believes it Is more neceasary and If he had his way, 'ho would establish farm schools In connection with the present public sohool system. rrland to Fanner. Colonel Smith la probably the best known exponent of the country life movement In the Pacific northwest, He has made his paper a consistent advo cate of uplift for the farmer and more practical education along agricultural lines. Moreover,, he. la a prophet, who is fortunate enough to see his Ideas being sdopted. Toppenish, Wash., haa Just voted bonds to buy 10 acres to be used ss experimental grounds and a farm In connection with Ita schools. Prac tically the same thing has been done by a school district near Hermlston, Or. Superintendent Rush of the Yakima schools has earned Colonel Smith's praise by his activity for consolidated schools and for teachers' cottages, the Idea being to make the teacher a per manent resldunt of the community In stead of a migratory Individual. Walla Walla county has established several teachers' homes and other sections of the northwet are falling into line. Comes to Bee Exhibit. Colonel Smith came to Portland to see the exhibit of products from the gar dens of school boys at the Y. M. C. A. and he saya this city Is making good progress along the right lines." Rut he would rather aee good Jeraey cows In the park than monkeys. "I do not know why every city should not have farm schools," said Colonel' Smith. "I suppose the majority of your high school pupils reach the school on trolley cars. They could as well take I the car to a point outside tho city, where a practical education In farming would be available, as well aa instruction in all other lines. Of importance to Olty. "This education la more Important to the city than the country. The farm lad becomes self reliant by the very nature of his life; he has tasks to do that call forth his Inventive genius, if he has aay. and he can accomplish more with his hands than his city cousin. Ther latter ha 'everything done for him. He has little if any respon sibility or initiative. But there are as many town boys adapted to rural oc cupations as there are country boys ' who are by nature fitted for life In tho cities. They should be given their op portunity to learn their own preferences as to what they will follow for a 11 v Ing and a practical education In agrl culture will give them this chance 'The schools are the hope of the Country Life movement, for they, to gether with good roads, are the chief 1 elements of all. Give the boy and girl the right education and those that de velop a liking for agriculture will make i successful farmers and useful citizens. The community center idea is the best plan I know of for the develop ment of more pleasant social conditions n the country and tho Grange and the Farmers' union are doing splendid worlr. They are. however, to be a part of thu community center, not the whole. One of the most encouraging signs of the i of helpfulness taken by State Superin tendent Alderman of this state. He is Interested and Is doing a great work for the schools, which are the bottom of the success of the whole movement. M. W. A. HAS BIG PICNIC FOR WASHINGTON CO. (Special Dispatch to Tbe Journal.)
