BRYAN PREFERS CLARK.

Champ Clark, it seems, has been
made the political legatee OF william
J. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan does not like
Judson Harmon. Neither does he like
Woodrow Wilson. 1t is not certain
that he likes Clark either but of three
evils he prefers ths least-the least
from his standpoint. There appears
TO be an understanding between Bryan
and Clark that supplies a working ba-
sis for both Bryan would like a
place in Clarks cabinet, and i'm the re-
mote possibility OF Clarks election as
president. he probably would get 1t.
This is the quid pro quo. Neither Har-
mon nor Wilson are radical enough for
Bryan. Clark lacks something OF dem
agogic fire also, but he is more nearly
of the Bryan type.
II is no longer any secret that Clark
is candidate for the democratic nom
ination. Indications point to him as
the logical choice Of the radical de-
mocracy, and that kind of democracy
Is in the saddle now. Clark has plen-

SEES GOOD IN DECISION.

The decision OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission was Of course a
shock to both railroad and financial in
terests. for IL was confidently expected
that some sort Of a compromise would
be reachd granting the roads moderate
concessions in the East, where rates
are low and the companies have been
placed under enormously heavy ex-
penses owing TO the increase in wages
granted in 1910. comments Henry
Clews. In all probability the decision
win make it more difficult for the
railroads to place the new issues which
they had contemplated, and this will
of course compel delay in improve
ments and means less activity in con-
structive work Of that class than anti
cipated. But the decision has its adj
vantags. It will avert a possible con-
gestion OF the security markets by the
flood of new issues which would GER

ty of time to make enemies within his
own party, of course, but he has done
much to solidify the disaffected ele-
ments. He has brought to some SEM
blance of hemogeneity the scattered
and bewildered rank and file in con-
gress. After attaining the speakership,
the presidency is naturally the next
thing in order for him. His victory
in being chosen speaker has helped
him considerably and he takes to him
self large credit for the fact that his
party will be in control of the next
congress.
The resignation of Bryan to the sit
uation is pathetic if not heroic. 1t is
no light thing to yield leadership. To
confess failure and bow the head in
abdication means much to politician
Of Bryan's stripe Yet it would not be
quite so bad if the future had i'm store
for him a cabinet job. 1t would extend
his lease of political life a little longer,
and TO an old stager that is something
worth while. So Bryan and Clark are
working together

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT.
To the voters of the Twelfth Judicial
Circuit
Twelve years ago YOU elected me
Judge of the Twelfth Circuit without
opposition. II seemed to me that the
only way in which ( could show my
appreciation of the signal honor was to
give all my time and all the ability I
had to the duties of the office. Six
years ago, You again honored me by an
election without opposition This in
creased my obligation to you. one
hundred and thirtyrIve terms of court
have been held i'm the circuit i'm which
! have pesided, All have been opened
at the appointed time. and have con-
tinued until all the business was done
The conditions and traditions that
surround the office, of Circuit Judge
make 1t improper for the one who
holds the office to defend or explain
any of his decisions. Nor can he make
and personal campaign for reelection
The record is made and he must abide
by It.
l am very proud of this circuit. No
office in the state is more honorable
than that OF Judge of the Twelfth Cir
cult. The confidence you have reposed
in me has been greatly valued, and is
deeply felt. ] have tried to be worthy
of it, heartily believe that the Judge
should be chosen by the people. For,
If the one holding the office does not
retain the confidence and esteem of the
community, courts will fall into dis
repute, and that would be a serious
matter i'm such government as ours.
If you still have the feeling toward
me that you have so constantly and
cordially shown for twelve years, may
l ask you to make it manifest at the
coming election?
Yours truly,
res ALBERT II. STREETER.

tainly have followed had the railroads
secured what they wanted AS soon as
the shock is over calmer views will
prevail; our railroad managers will
accept the situation philosophically:
efficiency will be the watchword; re-
trenchment viii be in order, and con-
sidering the excellent physical condi-
ton Of the roads a year or two of
waiting for larger income from in
creased business will do no lasting
harm. Some Of the weaker roads may
suffer from the decision; but it must
be remembered that the commission
has announced it's readiness to recon
slider the question of advanced rates
II after a fair trial experience shows
that the roads were right in their con-
tention and really needed higher rates
20 compensate for increased expenses
IN business circles the decision will be
accepted with favor since shippers
would have been Obliged to put the in
creased charges upon the public, which
would ultimately pay the bill and is
already more or less disturbed at the
high cost Of living. Considering the
political situation, it is worth some
thing to avoid a further cause Of pub
lie discomfort.
