Now Mr.. Bryan has assaulted Mr.. Tn
derwood. against whose selection for
majority leader In the House he made
no objection. but whose democracy he has
since come to question. He considers that,
too. inoculated with "Aldrichism." But the
House democratic, copying the example Of
their friends in the Senate, have rejected
Mr.. Bryan's advice. and will go their
own way. A duty on raw wool-"such q
little one" however, has been decreed
in the face Of Mr.. Bryan's protest
But Mr.. Under wood does not copy Mr..
Martins example. He strikes back, accus-
ing Mr.. Bryan Of a disposition to disrupt
the democratic party. and denying him a

William J. Bryan Of Nebraska-a plat

first-class fighting man. Why should he
not head the Nebraska delegation, and
again show his quality as an expounder

Oscar w. Underwood Of Alabama-an-

he not head the delegation from his state

Thomas g. Martin Of virginia-neither

resolute man who knows what he wants
and with the ability to state his case

Joseph w. Bailey Of Texas-the ablest

Judge Gary's Radical Theories.

State socialism advocated by the head of

Judge Gary's statements before the House
In Washington yesterday are
correctly reported he urged a policy which
would mean precisely this. What his cor
poration wanted. he said. was some de-
partment of the federal government to
which 1t could go and be told just what 1t
could do and what prices it could charge
In doing this government officials would
be fixing the prices that the American
people should pay for steel products Such
. function of government could not be
confined to these articles. Other great
combinations in different lines must OBJ
tain similar sanction. and we should have
federal oficials fixing the prices Of the
basic materials OF industry and of the
necessaries of life.

Baltimore and the Convention.

Loan Shark Control.

The loan shark bill amended so that it
makes the restriction on the loan COM
panies more rigorous than contemplated
in the bill as introduced by Senator Cal
linger has been ordered favorably re-
ported by the Senate District committee.
The bill ought to become a law. There
II NO opposition to the object at which
the measure aims-the protection OF bor
rowers from extortion and the placing Of
this class of money lenders somewhat on
the plane Of pawnbrokers. There is
divergence Of opinion as to the precise
terms of the bill, and the conflict Of
opinion will assuredIy be harmonized for
the best interests Of borrowers and lend
ers. The loan shark business has come
to bear such an evil name by reason OF
instances of cruel extortion and persecu-
ton of debtors that men engaged in the
loan business should welcome stringent
regulation as a means to save themselves
from being outlawed.
Discussing the loan shark bill, The Star,
April 8, said:
THE loan shark bill or the bill regulat-
of Columbia. which was passed by the
Senate last session. ought to be enacted
into law at this session. The Commits
sioners have renewed their plea for the
difficult to see how it can fail Of passage
There Is no respectable opposition to the
DILL and 1t is said to have the approval
OF all the loaning companies in the Dis
trict which are members of the National
Federation Of Remedial Loan Associa-
tions. and 1t was approved by that fede-
ration at Its last annual meeting at ST.
Louis The measure has been approved
by the various citizens associations of
the District. the Central Labor Union,
the Associated Charities the Washington
section OF the Welfare Department of the
National Civic Federation. the Monday
Evening Club and by most of the civic
organizations in the District The Sage
Foundat1on. which has made an inquiry
into the subject of money lending at
usurious rates throughout the country.
has approved the BILL
The principal opposition to the bill as
introduced came from those senators who
thought that no higher rate Of interest
than per cent per annum should be le-
eaiized The pawnbroker's rate is 3 per
cent a month. and he does not lend nearly
up to the value of the pledge. The
money lender to whom this bill applies
takes risks and bases his claim to the
right to exact higher rate of interest
on the risks Of the business The bill
as introduced provides per cent DER
month rate, and as compromise the
bill when reported will provide for a
rate OF Ia per cent per month. The
maximum single loan is reduced under
the amended bill from 500 to 500
The loan shark problem has presented
numerous perpiexing features, but the
prospect is that the local lending busi-
ness will soon be brought under proper
control.

Stable Collection Service.

The fly war wages. All authorities on
the fly pest agree that stable refuse Is the
ny's favorite breeding place. and the plan
OF collection by the local government OF
this refuse which was suggested recently
In The Star by the assistant entomologist
of the Department Of Agriculture contains
ideas worthy Of consideration. The
author Of the plan said:
why SHOULD we not have in Washing
ton regular system Of collecting stable
refuse? The District government knows
where all the public stables are They
have to pay license. The building in
spector knows where all the private ones
are. for they have to get a permit to erect
one. Thus collecting the refuse il merely
a matter OF going after II. The refuse is
worth 81 load to farmers. Thus coll
lecting the refuse ought to be q valuable
concession for Washington or any other
city"
1t was said that weekly collection
would meet the situation. as the fly takes
ten days for breeding. IT, as insect stu
dents say. 95 per cent of flies breed in
stable manure. the prompt and periodical
removal of this refuse would go a long
way toward solving the ny problem. The
pecuniary profit from the enterprise IL
subordinate to the sanitary gain. but the
money itcm ought not to be overlooked.
There Is q general profit in the removal
Of refuse, and as manure 10 a valuable
commodity, there would be no doubt Of
profits on this score.
The objection which would be urged
against the proposition Is that this by
product constitutes q source OF income to
stabiekeepers. and adjustment with these
interests might be dimcult. The case
would he different with the numerous
small private stables. where manure does
not accumulate In commercial quantities,
and II Is these scattered stables that are
strategic points in the fly campaign, and
the owners Of these stables might welcome

the great convention hall Of the country,
this reference being to the 5th Regiment
Armory. BY making q few interior
changes seats can be provided In the
main assembly hall Of the armory for
$1,000 people. The main floor is on a
level with the street. permitting easy in
gress and egress. Each Of the four sides
Of the building opens on a street. The
armory also contains q large number Of
officers and company rooms. which can
be used by the various committees.
The excellence Of the street car system
of Baltimore is urged as a point in the
city's favor. 1t Is said in Baltimore s
campaign literature that "the street car
system Of Baltimore is probably un-
lequaled In America. and its long rides
for cents. its finely equipped cars and
a service which railroad men admit to
be without a peer will AFFORD accommoda-
tions to thousands Of visitors who enjoy
trolley rides along the historic Chesa-
peake bay"
Stress Is laid on the good markets and
the good food obtainable in Baltimore
and the amplitude of hotel accommoda-
tions. Another argument is that, Mary
land being a neutral state and having
no presidential candidate. the Maryland
democracy offers to the democracy of
the nation a fair battle-ground for all the
candidates.
A most important item in connection
With Baltimore's convention ambition Is
that the necessary fund required by the
national committee has been raised.
Baitimore's reasons why 1t should en-
tertafn the democratic national conven-
ton are sound and appeal to many Amer
leans. These arguments are so good that
they might be advanced in behalf of
Washington itself, with the single excep-
tion Of the essential matter Of the con-
vention hall. Washington has no con-
vention hall and no armory worthy OF
the name

GREATEST MUSICAL YEAR
IN OUR HISTORY

New York, Aug. THAT the music
Dill OF this city for the coming sea-

exceeding any similar expenditure on
record here or abroad, is now indi-
Gated by the preparations underway
Tor the greatest musical season ever
known. Ten years ago the sum spent
IN TINS way amounted to hardly more
than $l,OOO,OO0. What it will am
cunt to in another decade in view of
the ever-increasing demand for ,mu-
sic of every character is merely a
matter of conjecture. In spite of this
great expenditure, however, music has
not yet become a generally popular
form of entertainment as is indicated
by the fact that the greater part of
the $5,O00,000. which it is estimated
VIII be spent in the five months after
the middle of next October for opera,
symphony concerts and other forms
of musical entertainment will come
from a nucleus of music patrons
numbering less than $4,000 or less
than one per cent of the city's total
populatio. Probably not more than
one person in five hundred ever at
tends the opera although concerts of
various sorts are more widely pat
ronized. Just why New Yorkers will
have to foot such an enormous bill
for the musical entertainment is in
dicated by the salaries paid to the
artists. A really famous operatic
singer receives as much as s250O
for single performance, while
symphony orchestra leaders are paid
as much as $500 for season last
ing only four months. Many of these
concerts and recitals fail to earn any=
thing. In one case during the past
musical season just ten seats were
sold for a really meritorlous concert.
