the collection and disposal Of city refuse
from private residences resolutions have
been passed by the Board of Trade and the
Business Mems Association, respectively,
and numerous petitions and requests have
been received from individual business men,
hotel proprietors, owners of apartment

are taxed just the same householders,

From the standpoint of public health

CLARK ON DEMOCRACY.
Says National Convention Will Be at
Sea as to Choice.

The following interview with Senator
Clark is printed in the New York Journal
this morning:
Returning from two months ramble
through unfrequented byways abroad,
United States Senator William A. Clark
of Montana, while steaming up the bay yes
terday on the Deutschland, expressed
frankly his views on the political situation
here and in Europe.
81 am somewhat out of touch with the
situation at home" said the senator, but
in that respect l do not think / am much
worse off than any other Of my colleagues
In the democratic party. The next demo-
cratic national convention will be one of the
most interesting in the history of the party.
1T will be fascinating to watch the pro-
ceedings of the convention, for not only the
delegates but the leaders of the party as
WELL will go to the convention absolutely
at sea to the names of the candidates
to be chosen and the battle of the aspir-
ants will be fought out there on the floor.
There will be no slate"
The names of Cleveland. Bryan and Hill
were successfully suggested to Senator
Clark as candidates, but at the mention of
each he shook his head.
Cleveland could not get the nomination"
he said. ''Bryan's influence may be a fac
tor, but don't believe he can be nominat-
ed either. Neither can HILL.
''Can you suggest the name Of any candi-
date upon whom the choice of the conven-
ton is likely to fall?' was asked.
What is needed" replied the senator, rs
an entirely new man. one who has not
been too closely identified with national
politics hitherto; who is aggressive, ener-
getic and upon whom all elements of the
party can unite. Such a man can easily be
found and with such candidate believe
the party could enter upon the campaign
with bright hopes of success.
As to the platform. Senator Clark said in
n general way that a revision of the tariff
is necessary, and that there is urgent need
Of legislation that will give more elasticity
TO the currency.
"The eyes Of all Europe" Senator Clark
said. ARE upon Turkey. and there is great
interest manifested in the course which the
American government will pursue In safe
guarding the rights of her representatives
IN the sultan's dominions.
II believe In a strict regard for the treaty
rights OF other nations" said he, referring
TO the problem OF sending an American
warshfp through the Dardanelles to Con-
stanrinopfe. but at the same time think
that our government is justified in adopting
whatever measures are necessary under the

LOWELL A STRIK E CENTER.

Near Lowell the Merrimack tum-
bles over Pawtucket Falls in its haste
to reach the sea, and it is this power
that led to the establishment of the
first cotton mill, in 1923. The indus
try has gone on steadily prospecting
through the Intervening three-quar-
tiers Of a century, until to-day there
+ nearly 10000 operatives in Lo-
well, and the struggling town itself
has become a prosperous city.
Lowell has had strikes in particu-
lar mills, but never before has it har-
bored a general strike in all of its
cotton mills. In the early years of
the industry everything possible was
done by the mills to attract thither
the young women of New England.
Neat and cheerful boarding houses
were established, schools and
churches were built, and finally cot
tages at a distance from the mill were
added. But the native New Eng
land girl was supplanted by the Irish
girl in the sos, and later still the
Irish girls gave way to the French
Canadian Immigrants who now fill
the mills of Lowell and other New
England towns. "Little Canada" as
it is called in Lowell, numbers a.
900 people. The French Canadians
are excellent workers, being orderly
and thrifty, and the women have q
dizziness and swiftness of touch that
is very desirable in cotton mills.
But the French Canadians do not
hold the field unquestioned. The
Greeks are coming in. There are
1000 of them in Lowell, and some
think they will supplant the French
Canadians. But whatever the out
come be in that respect Lowell has
become a strike center because the
New Englanders are no longer a fac
tor among the employees, and the
coming of the French Canadians and
Greeks has introduced an element
that strike leaders can work upon.

POPE LEO's LONG SERVICE.

On the day that King Edward
visited the pope at the vatican, the
remarkable ruler clad in white who
received him had just accomplished
in the pontificate "the years of
Peter" namely, twenty-five years,
two months and seven days. The
pontifcate Of st. Peter is, it is true, a
little hazy and indefinite historically
speaking, but there is wisdom in ac-
cepting what the world believes, at
leastas long as it cannot be disproved.
Oniy one other pope ever reached
such q term at the head of the great
nistorit church, and that other was
Leo's own predecessor, Plus TX,
Who spent thirty-two years in the
,ontifirol office. The other popes
who exceeded twenty years are few
in number. They are Sylvester 1,
twenty-one years; Adrian /, twenty
three years; Leo III, tWentv-one;
Alexander III, twenty-five; Urban
VIII, twenty-one; Clement XI,
t~wenty-one; Plus VI, twenty-four,
and Plus VII, twenty-three years.
The selection of old men to wear the
tiara accounts for the few long terms
in the papal chair. Leo was nearly
70 years old when he was elected
pope, and his long term is due to his
remarkable age. He is now in hi:
Oath year, and King Edward declared
after his visit that he looks and talks
and acts more like a man 70 years
old. The head of the church is men
tally alert, and it is altogether pos
sible that he may live to 1910, whe1
he would be 100 years old. He ha.
already outlIved Gladstone, Disraeli
Bismarck, Crispi and cores of othel
great leaders, and he is the most ven
Grated figure IN the world to-day
always alert and in touch with the
times, gentle, wise and conciliatory
in all things. Fortunate indeed vii
the great church be if it finds a sue
cessOr in the course Of time as tactfu
and yet maoterfui as the aged sain
and statesman that King Edward
visited on Wednesday.
