The Clark Boom

The tribute Senator Taylor has paid
Mr.. Clark as presidential quantity is
as timely as handsome. II will serve
to answer those anti-Clark men who have
been saying that the Clark boom in Con-
gress seemed to be in the hands of re-
publicans. reference being to remarks
Minority Leader of the House Mann has
made in praise Of the Speaker, and to
the fact that much good feeling generally
exists among the House republicans
toward the Missouri leader.
All that Mr.. Mann has said and all
that his fellow republicans feel respecting
Mr.. Clark may be taken as sincere. An
tagonisms in theStouse rarely go beyond
the immediate Business In hand there.
Some warm friendships exist between
men whom the broad center aisle divides.
Fifteen years ago when Speaker Reed
was candidate for his party's presi-
Dental nomination some of the most
prominent democrats in the House wished
him success. They had six years before
fought him fiercely. and even angrily.

tance would have attached to his chance
expression. 1t was not intended to com
plicate matters. although some of Mr..
Clark's critics put that construction on
it. They question the sincerity Of his
support of the pact.
Since then Mr.. Clark has become
Speaker of the House and prominent in
presidential speculation, and both in Can.
ada and England is suspected of annexa-
| tion purposes. Ant-pact Canadians and
Englishmen hold him UP as the coming
American. who when he arrives will
use his official influence to convert Can
ada into American territory. So much
has been made of the matter that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier. who is in England for
the coronation ceremonies, Is discussing
the bugaboo with great frankness in
public.
In substance the anti-pact argument.
both in Canada and England, runs like
this: IF freer trade is arranged In this
fashion between Canada and America the
program of the annexationists will be
materially forwarded. The advantages
will all be with the Americans, and they
will improve and. push them to the ut
most. Improved trade relations will pro-

On the other hand it has been argu-
mentatively asked: If natural, freer trade
relations are Denied If Canada Is kept out
of a market which she both covets and
needs, and America out of one which she
can improve to her advantage. will not i'm
point where the people on both sides of
the line will favor leveling all barriers?
In other words. are not the enemies OF
reciprocity working indirectly for annex
alton? By continuing trade relations OF
a restrictive character beyond the time
for their proper application, will not re-
strictions of all kinds in the end be
swept away?
Those who are fighting for the preser-
walton of the principle of protection in
this country see danger only in the
abuse of the principle. Where 1t is still
needed they want it continued. Where 1t
has done its work, and is now an unde-
served gratuity, they want 1t removed
Their fear is that unless the discrimna-
tions are made impatience with the
whole principle will set up, and for a
time great injury to the country Will
follow. They do not want barriers used
to create a prejudice which in the end
will sweep all barriers away.

Beautifying Potomac Park.

Every step toward the Identification
II Potomac Park is a matter of interest
o all of Washington's people. Potomac
Park Is a pleasure ground for all the
people, and one of the important ele-
nents in the park system of the capi-
Ial. The Star told yesterday that the
controller of the Treasury in a late
decision authorizes the Office of pub
ic buildings and grounds to employ a
landscape architect who will administer

grading. seeding and planting Potomac
Park west of the railroad embank-
nent.
Time draws near when the work of
grading and planting that part of Poto-
nae Park east of the railroad will be
,egun. The progress making in raising
he level of this section of the park
With material dredged from the river
;hannels is satisfactory. 1t has been
.eported that some injury has been
sustained by the willow trees that bor-
Ter this part of the park by steel
:ables of the dredge. It Is believed
hat the injury is not'as serious as IT
nay appear. These trees will sit
ieeper in the soil when the ievel-rais-
ng work Is completed. and many of the
;uts and Sbrasions will be buried under

see him rewarded according to their ap-
praisement of his deserts. They became
in their way Reed boomers.
| Likewise when Speaker Cannon was
under consideration for the nomination
which went to Mr.. Taft many democratic
members OF the House pulled for him.
They criticised what they termed his
czar-like performances in the chair, but
| admired the man and thought him big
enough for tho White House. They want
ed to see him go there If republican
was to succeed Mr.. Roosevelt.
Now comes Mr.. Clark's turn. and the
republicans are paying him the compli-
ment that the democrats paid Mr.. Reed
and Mr.. Cannon. They like the man and
admire his capacity for business, and II
it is on the cards for democrat to
succeed Mr.. Taft as President-though
they hope not-he is the one they want
to see rewarded.
Senator Taylor has given the Clark
democrats in both houses of Congress a
cue. There are many of them. and they
might very well speak out. Both the
Wilson men and the Harmon men in
Congress and out are vocal. Boomers
are getting busy and noisy all over the
at the present laundering pace. but while
it does the Clark boomers should be
heard from.
In the Speakers case something will
depend on the ability OF the democrats of
the House. now that they appear to have
gotten together, to stay together. If the
record continues to show harmony on
the roll calls. it will be much to the
q ClQrL hnnn mi the
other hand, if divisions appear, on the
tariff and other questions, and the ma
jority halts or gives way, under repub-
lican hammerings. the Clark boom will
necessarily be injured. So far, however,
MIR. Clark has handled matters very well
in office. and with SO much in prospect
is not the man to relax energy or under
rate the value OF a great opportunity.

Change of Date.

The chairman Of the national commit
tee on the change OF inauguration day,
Henry b. F. Macfarland. has addressed
an argument to the chairman of the SEN
ate committee of the judiciary in behalf
of a favorable report on the resolution
of Senator Gallinger providing for
change of Inauguration day to the last
Thursday In April.
1t is we'll to push this matter OF change
of date. Everybody. or nearly every
body, favors 1t. and everybody takes 1t
for granted that because Of this fact the
resolution will prevail. People through
out the country have for many years
been asking that inauguration date be
changed to a pleasanter season. and they
take it for granted that. SO often having
expressed themselves on this subject,
their views are we'll known in Congress.
This is probably true, but in matters OF
legislation. as in SO many other things,
it is never safe to take too much for
granted.
The chairman of the national committee
points out that the committee has been
advocating the change Of date since its
organization in 1901, latter the disastrous
weather of the Inauguration day of that
year" 1t is also pointed out that the
national committee is composed of the
governors OF states and territories while
in office and Of twenty-one residents OF
the District of Columbia who have been
members Of the inaugural committees OF
1901, 1905 and 1909. and are especially
'.miliar with the dificulties and dangers
incident to- the continuance Of the 4th
| of March as inauguration day.
The argument presented to the chair
man of the Senate judiciary committee
| gives cogently the reasons for the de-
sired change. 1t says:
THE chief reason for the change is
that the weather on the 4th of March Is
usually inclement, and generally favor
able the last week in April, as shown
| by the records Of the weather bureau.
| For that reason inauguration day has
repeatedly brought death and disease to
many of those in official life and in pri-
vate station who have taken part In the
ceremonies or witnessed them. Only one
President of the United States, William
Henry Harrison, has died as q result OF
exposure to dangerous weather on inau-
guration day. 1t ought not to take the
death of another President Of the United
States to bring about the change. In
recent years Senator Bate of Tennessee
directly, Senator Platt of Connecticut less
directly, the ambassador OF Mexico, Mr.
AspiroZ, and Judge Weldon Of the United
States Court of Claims are among the
prominent men who owe their deaths to
the inclement weather OF inauguration
day. Besides these hundreds have died
and thousands have been subjected to
disease from this cause"
At this time. with the Henry resolution
in the House and the Gallinger resolu-
tion in the Senate, both pending, there
should be no Stacking up in the efforts
of the public to aid in securing the re-
quired constitutional amendment which
would change inauguration day from
early in March to late in April.

Uses of Fifth Avenue Clubs.
From the New York World

From the New YORK ORD.
Rabbi Wise defines the qualifications
for admission to certain 9TH avenue clubs
as "a capacity for unlimited idleness and
for almost unlimited strong drink" The
remark implies censure. but, in fact, con-
stitutes an Endorsement of the clubs as
serving a useful purpose in the scheme of
society. Men with these attributes must
have some place to go. and what better
plan than to segregate them where they
can idle and indulge their propensities un-
disturbed and without interference with
club members less bibulously inclined :?
The arrangement is decidedly preferable
to distributing them among clubs not so
exacting in membership qualifications of
the kind. where their example might
prove corrupting. Nobody is Obliged to
join a 5th avenue club. and as it is, men
whose capacity is below 5th avenue
standards can keep away.

Reciprocity and Annexation.

A very tall annexation oak has grown

It all new. For years both Americans
md Canadians had been discussing II,

anguidly. At one time quite an annexa-

 The laboratory has been inspected by the federal chemist ont December 23. just prior to the shipment being made from Pittsburg, where 1t was manufac- tured, and information has been forward ed to the effect that it is due to arrive in this city during the week In order that thorough test may be made of this additional equipment to the facili- ties of the mine department of Alabama and that the local inspectors may be in- structed as to the operation of the va rious mechanisms, MT. Burrell has per- fected arrangements to reach this city shortly after the laboratory arrives. The most modern types of instruments for the analysis of mine air and other chemical experiments to be made in the mining de- partment have been procured for Alabama under the direct supervision of MT.

BISHOP ENDS LIFE
 BY TWO ATTEMPTS Tears Bandages From His Wound Just Dressed JUGULAR VEIN TORN Young Man Was Confined in the City Jail and Was Unsuccessful in
 Effort to End Life With
 His Pocketknife
JUGULAR VEIN TORN

Walter L. Bishop, aged 25 years, con- fined in the city jail on a charge or vagrancy, committed suicide in his cell yesterday morning about 6:3o o'clock. Bishop used a small pen knife in talk inp his own lffe cutting his throat on the left side.
 Bishop was arrested Saturday by Of- ficers Cole and Goldstein on charge of yagrancy Mir. Goldstein stated last night that Bishop had told him at the time of his arrest that he intended to kill himself. The police had no idea that he would carry out his threat and paid no attention to it. He is known to have been addicted to drugs.
 The warden at the jail was attract ed by a noise from Bishops cell early yesterday morning Upon investigation 1t was found that the young man had inflicted a serious wound on the left side of his neck. The wound was bleeding profusely and pr. Whalen. the city physician, was called. who dressed the wound and placed Bishop in bed in one of the upstairs apartments. He was resting easy at the time and it was thought he would recover But about o'clock Day Warden Puckett was attracted by groans from the young mans room and found that he had torn the bandages from his neck and had severed the jugular vein, evil dently tearing it loose with his fingers. pr. Whalen was again called, but could do nothing for Bishop, who died at 9:30
 There appears to be no doubt but what the young man. was irrational when he committed the act Warden Puckett stated last night that Bishop was continually talking about someone trying to kill him. Two letters were found in his inside coat pocket. one of them addressed to his mother and the other one to his sister, both of them telling how .the people" were trying to kill him.
