1" COMPLIMENTS GENL. CLARK. Congressman Dickinson in a Speech on the Army Bill Compliments the Com- | mander of Mis- —souri’s Nation-—_— al Guard. Some time ago when the house ot Congress had under eonsidera- tion the bill to increase the effi-| ciency of the military establish- ment of the United States Con- gressman Dickinson in course of ; a speech on the measure had the following to say of Brig. Gen.) Harvey C, Clark of the National Guard of Missouri: “T was especially pleased with | the action of the committee, throngh its distinguished chair man, in printing in and as a par of its report a most admirable and convincing brief on the **Powe of the Federal Government ove the militia under the Cohstitu- tion,”’ which brief is credited by the report of the committee and} its real author to the military council of the State of Missouri, but whieh brief, in fact, was pre- pared by Gen, Harvey C. Clark, commanding general of the Mis- souri State Mili at the head of the military council of the State of Missouri and for many years a close personal friend of mine, and now a res vada, Mo., and a constituent of my distinguished and gifted col- league, the Hon Perk D. Decker, who represents Iere with marked ability the fifteenth district of Missouri. - The modesty of the author of the brief caused him to credit: it to the general council of which he His modesty is only is a member, surpassed by his ability as a law- yer and his qualification and fit- Hess as tounnanding general of the National Guard of Missouri. } thought it not inappropriate to diselose to this House the real author of this brief, which m: plain “the absolute power of con- wress to provide for the organiza- ” tion, discipline, and control of the National Guard, and for its Federal service within or without the Vnited States under the Con- stitution and the decisions of the Supreme Court, of the United s’ TP note in the — prblic press that the National Guard of Missouri is ready for service, | “read: National Guard Ready, Nevada, Mo., Mareh 11, Brig.
