The Missing Chamnion.

At last Mr.. Bryan has pinched
down on his deck and thrown Champ
Clark into the discard. He is maxi
ing good thus far on his promise to
stand on the watch tower and cry
out the unfit or untrustworthy dem
ocratic candidates as they passed by
His candor in the case OF Speaker
Clark is especially notable in view
OF the fact that Clark was one OF the
first men to receive the appreciation
OF Mr.. Bryan. In a conference some
months ago at Washington he agreed
with Mr.. Hearst that the Missourian
was deserving and would do. But
now he declares Clark has failed as
speaker, as leader and as a serious
force in the affairs Of the democratic
party.
When Champ Clark was elected
speaker of the house he was given
all the opportunity needed to prove
his power, but failed to rise to the
opportunity. He has not even risen
above the level OF tho ordinary run
of politicians. He is completely
overshadowed in the house by Chair
man Underwood OF the ways and
means committee and shows less
strength with the gavel than he did
as floor leader, because, no doubt,
of the larger field he aims to occupy.
The people need champion, -
says Mr. Bryan, and asks, ITO whom
will the honor go?"
That is hard to answer. Harmon
was told more than a year ago to
stand aside. Underwood was later
denounced as tool of the trusts the
moment he disobeyed Mr.. Bryan's
orders during the last session OF
congress. Champ Clark is now cast
out. Wilson, Folk, Foss, Marshall
and Hoke Smith, of those "favorably
mentioned" are still left. When
appealed to by the Jacksonian club
Mr.. Bryan refused to enlist for Will
son, although of the four men
named he undoubtedly is the most
available.
Senator O'Gorman of New York
intimates that the next democratic
presidential nominee must be man
acceptable to Mr.. Bryan. A CORE
spondent to the Baltimore sam OBJ
serves, in commenting on Senator
.O'Gorman's view: III the .politi-
clans, in their folly. influenced by
selfish considerations. refuse to al
low Mr. Bryan q place In our coun-
ellis and select candidate to whom
he is opposed, defeat will be ours"
The Bee INDUCED two opinions on
democratic prospects a year ago, one
that II given rope enough Champ
Clark would hang himself politically
before the time to nominate candi-
date for president and the other tina.
under the two-tnirds rule Mr.. Bryan
would be able to block a distasteful
nomination in the democratic ma
tional convention. We believe these
observations are being vindicated.

Veagh says
Aside from the prime matter OF

among the chief violators, too, of
our pure food and drug laws. Or
dinarily when the frauds perpe-
trated at these ports of entry are
mentioned one thinks of hidden

evil is broader and more far-reach-
ing than that, as we find upon closer
examination To appreciate what
the government has done, and is
still doing, in this particular is to
know something Of the momentous

international opium Conference.

The second International opium confer
ence consisting of delegates from the
United States, Great Britain, China,
France and Germany, will meet at The
Hague on December l. The prime OBJ
ject Of the meeting is TO strengthen the
laws and regulations tentatively agreed
to al the first conference at Shanghai
I'm 1900. Considerable progress has been
made In the orient In suppressing or re-
stTicting the traffic in opium in the last
two years. The Chinese government has
been particularly dnigent in this regard,
not only In restricting the sale of the
drug, but in suppressing the cultivation
OF the poppy. British authorities IN In
dia gradually reduced exports of the
drug with a view TO ultimate suppress
sion. The great obstacle 10 success, how
ever, is lax enforcement OF laws against
opium in the foreign concessions in
China, and against these evil spots The
Hague conference will direct its energies
The sincerity OF the United States in
the crusade Is shown by the practical
suppression OF the traffic In the Philip
pines. Twenty years ago the Spanish
government derived annually q revenue
of 100000 from opium imports to the
Islands. That revenue has been wiped
out During the sixteen months follow
ing the enforcement OF the prohlbitory
law the total duty collected on opium
imported into the Philippines for medical
purposes was only S24l. while $4,000 was
collected IN fines for violations Of the
statute.
