Champ Clark's remarks in Wash-
{ Clark's Talk
President Taft expressed astonish-
ment to some of his congressional
callesr at the White House that Rep-
resentative Champ Clark, who is to
be speaker of the house in the next
congress, should have injected into
the discussion in the house when the
reciprocity bill was passed any
thought about the annexation of Can-
ada.
Nothing could be further from the
mind of President Taft, it was said at
the White House. There has never
been the least intention upon his part
to make reciprocity a part of a scheme
for annexation. Mr. Clark certainly did
not speak for the White House when
he made such a statement, it was said.
Friends of the president went so far
as to say that they did not believe
Mr. Clark was speaking for Democracy
either.
The friends of the reciprocity agree-
ment were scared when they read Mr.
Clark's remarks. They immediately
felt that such utterances would offer
the food for agitators in England and
the Dominion which they have long
sought in vain. The bogey of annexa-
tion will spring up now possibly,
with the result that a propaganda so
strong as to insure the agreement's
defeat will be forthcoming.
The speech of Mr. Clark is regard-
ed as a “bull” not to be expected from
such a source.
Members of the house of represen-
tatives are much surprised that the
remarks of Mr. Clark with respect to
the annexation of Canada should have
kicked up such a fuss as reports re-
ceived in Washington indicate. Mr.
Clark's views on annexation are well
known. In the course of his speech
on the McCall bill he said:
“] am in favor of the reciprocity
treaty to promote our trade relations.
| That is what we spent that money
| for. We are not spending that vast
sum because we are altruists, but as
I am for it, be-
| cause 1 hope to see the day when the
| American flag will float over every
square foot of the British-North Amer-
jean possessions clear to the North
Pole. They arc people of our blood.
| They speak our lanzuage. Their insti-
| tutions are much like ours. They are
| trained in the difficult art of selfl-gov-
| ernment. My judgment is that if the
| treaty of 1854 had never been abro-
gated the chances of a consolidation
| of these two countries would have
| been much greater than they are
! now.”
Representative Martin, of South Da-
| kota, then asked if Mr. Clark favored |
| “the abrogation of our tarift law en-
| tirely, so far as Canada is concerned,
{ by having free trade with Canada on
| all products.”

2,000,000 Starving In China.
| Dispatches received by the Red
| Cross in Washington disclose appall-
ing famine conditions in China.
| Amos P. Wilder, American consul
| general at Shanghai, reports that 2,
t 000,000 Chinese will die from the pres-
| ent famine unless relief is afforded
. promptly.
| Another report received by the Red
Cross says that horrifying scenes are
being enacted, that parents are trying
in desperation to give away their chil
dren and that dead bodies are lying
along the roadside.
The report from Shanghai adds that
at least half a million dollars in gold
will be needed immediately to relieve
the suffering. The area affected by
the famine is about 300 by 100 miles.
There will be no crops in the district
until the end of May and the Chinese
relief is entirely inadequate.

Bishop Whitaker Dead of Grip.
Bishop Ozi W. Whitaker, head of

Pennsylvania, died at his home, 4027
Walnut street, Philadelphia.
His death was caused by a general
breakdown, due to his advanced age,
pearly eighty-one years, augmented
by a severe cold that threatened pneu-
monia.
The serious turn in his illness came
about a week ago. He showed slight
improvement at times until Wednes-
day night, when he fell into a sleep
from which he could not be wakened.
Dr. John H. Girvin, his attending phy-
sician, said that death was peaceful
and without pain. At his bedside when
he passed away were two nieces and
other relatives His wife died in

BOOKS, MAGAZINES, ETC.
A LUCKY ARTiST.—Recently a prize of $2,000
was offered to the artist contributing the best
drawings of a comic feature for Sunday newspa-
pers. Asa result of the offer several thousand
artists from every section of the United States,
from Canada and from foreign lands across the
sea contributed drawings. The judges gave a
most scrupulous attention to every one. Slowly
the mountain of submitted comic series dimin-
ished until there were but 100 drawings left. Fifty
of these were rejected a week later. Later but
six remained, any one of which would have made
a desirable comic feature. At last two were put
aside and finally Mr. Twee Deedle was chosen dat
and the $2,000 was awarded Mr. John R. Gruelle,
of Norwich, Conn., whose prize comic, “Mr. Twee
Deedle,” will be the delight of mothers, cousins,
aunts, sisters and children for several months.
Unlike many comic features, “Mr. Twee
Deedle" is intended to teach a lesson to children
of this country and at the same time furnish them
innocent amusement. Just funny enough to gain
the attention and thereby directing their minds to
better things. “Mr. Twee Deedle”” has been ad-
ded to the already high class comic section of The
Pittsburg Dispatch and with Kaptin Kiddo and
four other splendid/features will make The Dis-
patch comic the best in the world. See that your
children are supplied with a clean comic feature
when you get your Sunday paper.
The publisher of The Dispatch endeavors to
keep its comic section in keeping with the other
features, making it the ideal paper for the homes,
where children should be given the very best.
Grown-ups, too, will like “Mr. Twee Deedle” and
wiil praise the judges for awarding the $2,000 to |
its originator. The first of “Mr. Twee Deedle’’
will appear in The Disgtetch Sunday, February
