SAYS CLARK OP GHAR6E
DF GENERAL CDRRUPTIDN
Bays That Charge That All
Public 'Men Are Corrupt
Has Woeful Effect
BAD AND SAD LESSON
LOUISIANA. ' Mo.. Sept. 11. In a
speech In response to a notable wel
come given him today upon his home
coming from Washington, Speaker
Champ Clark characterised as mis
chievous slanders statements of mar
plots that all public men are corrupt.
"No doubt, there are corrupt men
In politics; so are there corrupt men
i In every business and profession,"
aald the speaker, "but It Is a consola
tion to reflect that there are not so
many corrupt ones either In politics
or In any other walk of life this year
as there, were last year, and there
will not be so many corrupt ones next
year as there are this year. Corrupt.
mn ought to be scourged out of pub
lic life with a whip of scorpions, and
they are being weeded out
"But while there Is undoubtedly
i corruption In politics, the malicious
marplots who go about proclaiming
'that all public men are corrupt ought
ought to be restrained frofn running
at large pro bono publico. They are
he enemies not only of the republic
ut of all constituted authority."
In conclusion, Speaker J Clark
Clarke pleaded ror more enlighten
Jment on the real political facts and
I aald:
' "The persistent charge that all pub
lic men are for sale and that all gov
ernment In this country is thoroughly
rotten not only puts Improper Ideas
Into the heads of our own peopla and
!of our own children, but has a woeful
. effect on the Immigrants coming to
our ahores.
"What must' be their astonishment
, and regret: then to bear and to read
, as soon a they land on our shore
I that all public men are corrupt; that
j the voter are venal and the govern
1 merit rotten to the core?
"As certain a a gun - is made of
Iron, that must have a bad and de-
moralising effect upon them.- It Is a
i bad and a sad lessen In- preparing
themselve for the . onerous and Im
, portant duties of American eitlxensnlp

SUSPICION POINTS
TO BRUTAL MURDER
OF HAWKINS GIRL
Police Believe ; Error of Judgment
Will Lead Mart
Theory of Suicide no Longer Rer
garded in Awful
HENDERSONVILLE. Sept 11.
The. passing hours bring fast fol'ow
lng developments In the . finding , of
Myrtle Hawkins' body In Osceola lake.
The theory of. suicide is now dlsre
guarded and the general belief is that
the girl was brutally murdered by a
man on whom suspicion la fast Cen
tering. The fail is being hotljr fol
lowed and atartUng '.revelations are
looked for In the Immediate future
Myrtle Hawkins left her home
Thursday morning and disappeared
absolutely. It was her almost daily
habit to visit her friend, Mrs. Mc
Call, neart the lake and she usually
took some book along with her, Bha
would stop at different favorite places
along the thickly wooded path' which
was secluded and. but little frequent
ed She was murdered, but not rob.
bed or assaulted, some time Thursr
day and the body left until It wa
taken to Osceola lake, wh!ch was un
doubtedly some time during Friday
of Saturday night
The condition of the body shows
that life was extinct when placed in
the water and , also shows ; tfftt. It
could not have' been there 'many
hours. Also It would have een Im
possible for So large an object to
have been on the surface of the lake
without almost Immediate discovery.

: Lake Osceola la but a r'mlle from
town Is dally encircled by hundred
of motor cars nd carriages , and Is
faced by one of the largest summer
hotels here whose 'guests' -favorite
walk It Is. The path through the
woods and through the beautiful Nor
ton estate by which Miss Hawkins al
ways walked to the lake, is now be
irti "minutely examined. It Is hoped
that a still more definite elue .wilt
result from this cjosa examination.
It the girt did disappear from home
on Thursday morning, why was not
a general alarm given at once. Is a.
question tha bereaved family alone
can answer. A definite and quiet
