CLARK ID INSPIRE COLLEGE STUDENTS Opening Gun for National
 Democrat Ticket ss
 MARTINS HARD JOB
Conciliatory Ability to Be Tested. Congressmen Realize That Ses- sion Will Continue Through
 the Summer
BY PATTERSON sTEALEy

Washington, April e.-iSpecial. )--A movement will be inaugurated at the Jef- ferson birthday celebration of the College Mems Democratic league Thursday night to enlist the active support of 100000 col lege students and graduates for the sue cess of the next democratic national ticket.
 That this celebration. which will be held at the Willard hotel banquet hall, and which will be addressed by Speaker Clark, Representative Hamill of New Jer- sey. Dr. Thomas Nelson Page and W. Jefferson Davis, is designed to actively start the campaign became known for the first time today.
 There are few more than 200,0o0 col lege men in the United States affiliated with this league. This is the first national campaign in which the organization has been interested. It is therefore proposed that the Washington celebration on Thursday night be sort of keynote af- fair. and that the first effective step be taken to further organize this vast force into a compact fighting machine.
 The principal speech will be delivered by Speaker Clark He declined number of other invitations in and out of Wash lngton for Jefferson Day orations in or der to take part in the college men s league celebration, and to give impetus and inspiration to the demonstration now planned.
 Will Be Long Session
 Members of Congress rapidly are com- ing to the conclusion that their stay in Washington will be extended far into the summer and that possibly the extra session of Congress will meet in head-on collision with the regular session next December. The members have abandoned all hope of even a reasonably short ses- sion
 Many of both the House and Senate came to Washington for the extra ses- sion unaccompaned by their families, the impression being somewhat general tha, after the reciprocity agreement had been passed the Senate would refuse to pass the House popgun tariff bills and that an adjournment would ensue.
 A majority of these took up their quar- ters in hotels. Today many of these same members are placing themselves in the hands of real estate agents and spend ther afternoons looking for houses tc rent. They are likewise sending mes sages to their families to the effect thai if the aforesaid family wants 10 keen III its acquaintance with the head of tht house it would be well to come to Wash ington for that purpose.

Gary's first fraternal organization,
the local aerie of Eagles, which was
founded In the steel city in the early
days of 1907. installed officers for the
fifth time last evening. Mayor T. E.
Knots, first worthy president of the
aerie. was to have been present to
supervise the installation work. but
business elsewhere kept him away, SO
Past President Jacob Wiker of the
Hammond aerie was master of cere-
monies.
Mr. Wiker was assisted by J. w. Leach
and Charles r. schultz, Philip Mekatin-
sky. the new worthy president, was the
first of the officers installed. Follow
ing the ceremonies in the hall at 6O9

Michael Grimmer is also strong for
the Hammond proposition. He is a
working for the Hammond bill and
against the Gar proposition. He is ex-
ceedingly active and seems to have a
great deal of influence among the
members of the house. Grimmer is also
working for Crown Point.
So with the senator, Frank Gavit of
Whiting, and two representatives, one
from Indiana Harbor and the other
from Crown Point, widely separated
cities in the county, in favor of the
Hammond proposition and against the
Gary court, it is becoming apparent
to the ordinary observer that the ma
jority of the population of the county
is against the Gary court.

Price Cutting Aids Gains.
Some of the financial authorities of
Great Britain who have been recently
in the United States explained the phe-
nomenal increase in our exports of
manufactures by saying that we have
been cutting prices. The reply to that
suggestion was that il we have done
that in the competitive markets, we
have done precisely what Great Britain.
Germany, and France have long been
doing.
or course, the question will be raised
whether or not it is sound business
policy, at least in the long run, to
manufacture commodities with intent
to sell them in foreign markets at less
price than they command at home. 1t
has ben a long disputed question.

FARRELL EXPECTED TO DO
BIG THINGS FOR j. S. STEEL

New York, Jan. 14.-In the choice of
James A. Farrell as the successor of
william e. Corey as president of the
United States Steel corporation are to
be discovered commercial reasons
which may become of vital consequence
in the internationa trade of the Unit
ed States One of the most striking
features of our international COM
merce for the year 1910 was the rapid
advance made in the export of manu-
featured products as distinguished from
the necessa ries of life. like food and
cotton Their values are nearly equal
In this new export record the energy
and peculiar ability as a great sales
man which Mr. Farrell has revealed is
one of the most important factors. To
be great salesman is to be natural
born diplomat A. T. Stewart used to
say that much higher ability is neces-
sary for the marketing of comodities
than for the manufacture of them
or for the financing of great business
undertaking.
In no feature of his later career has
John w. Gates shown himself superior
to the ability he revealed as a master
salesman in his younger days. 1t was
one of the ablest of American sales
man, William Clark, who overmatched
the brilliant salesman of Great Britain

was to award the contract for the

Farrell Leader of Statesmen.
1t has been as a mastery salesman
and as a teacher and director of
subordinate statesmen that Mr.. Farrell
has demonstrated his pre- eminent ca
pacity to the executive authorities of
the United States Steel corporation.
To be a salesman of this kind entails
profound knowledge of the markets of
the world. of the politics prevailing in
various nations, and of the PERSONAL
ties in authority in those nations. This
knowledge is at Mr. Farrelrs instant
command.
