Speakership and Presidency.

Reports which represent Mr.. Champ
Clark as actively in the field for his
| party's presidential nomination probably
do him an injustice. That the frequent
mention Of his name in the presidential
speculation is gratifying to him stands to
| reason. As rule, men are not unmoved
by such compliments. But between APP
probation of a compliment and action in
conformity with its suggestion there is a
difference.
At present Mr.. Clark has, or soon will
have. his hands full. Even if the speak
ership as he receives the Office is shorn
of much of Its power, it will still be a
place of such Importance that he will
have to give his whole time to 1t. The
good politician addresses himself to the
work in hand. or at hand. His Is the old
rule in use at the mill. First come. first
served. The speakership Is ahead of the
presidential nomination.
1t is true. however that though he may
not have other object in view than serv-
ing his party and the country we'll In the
House, il Mr.. Clark achieves success
there in the first six months the speaker
ship may prove stepping stone to some
thing higher. The next House will have
completed, or practically completed, its
record by the time the democratic ma

country looks upon the record and says
II Is good, the Speaker. who will at least
have been consulted about a good deal
of it, should be we'll considered as a pres
idcntial possibility In a free-for-all.
Will that convention be free-for-all?
Look at the situation in New York. where
Mayor Gaynor Is under. fire and Gov. Dix
is just entering on a rocky stretch OF road.
Turn to New Jersey. where the head OF
the machine which put Woodrow Wilson
over the plate is now at war with him.

based upon something almost forgotten
by the country at large, and could not
stand against a boom based upon some

Clark boom, having for its foundation a
meritorious and effective service in the

road on the banks Of the Big Muddy as
against all local competition. Mr.. Bryan

personal friends. but In such a situation
he might decide to DO neutral.

I rom The New York World.
With the suits brought by the Russell
Sage Foundation against parties charged
with taking usurious interest from the
poor, a crusade has begun upon one OF
hardly any other way do the poor who
have fallen into temporary distress suffer
more than from the greed Of the loan
sharks that are ever ready to take ad-
vantage of their misfortune. Nearly all
classes Of people are constrained at times
to borrow money. The emergencies OF
Nfe cannot always be foreseen and pro-
yided for. The call for an unexpected
expenditure is liable to be made at any
time upon almost any FAMILY. In the
case Of the rich, ample provisions exist
for borrowing money at reasonable rates
of interest. The poor, however, are toe
often forced to apply to the usurer. They
become not the patrons Of a banker, but
the victims of a sharper.
