CLARK FOR PRESIDENT.

CrPEAKER CHAMP CLARK is making strong
- pull for the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent He has many supporters and their number
seems to be increasing. Here in Delaware is
considerable contingent of Democrats who are
carrying the Clark flag and it is not impossible that
the man from Missouri will get a few delegates IN
the Democratic state convention although the sem
tment is said TO be largely for Governor Wilson.
Clark is very careful. Perhaps he has learned
wisdom following his bad break in regard TO Ca
madam annexation. At any rate, the speaker has
adopted Harmon tactics"
The other day Clark addressed the legislature
Of his native state Kentucky. AS reported the
speech was several columns long, but Mr.. Clark
contented himself with attacking the Republican
tariff policy. He thinks the only hope for reduc-
ton in the cost Of living lies in the cutting down
of the tariff schedules oblivious of the fact that
the lowering Of duties has not been followed by
a lowering in the price of commodities.
Mr. Clark probably thinks that the only chance
that the Democrats have of winning is through
tariff agitation Such questions as the initiative
and referendum found no place in the Kentucky
address of the speaker. And there was nothing
about direct primaries This, of course, will not
please the Democratic progressives but 1t will de-
light the conservatives.
Clark is playing to be the compromise candidate
of the Baltimore convention and in view of the fact
that it requires two-thrds Of the delegates to nom-
! nate he may be able to realize hos ambition OF
/ being his partys choice forpresident

ABANDON OLD
JERSEY CITY DEPOT

Announcement was made yesterday
that about August l the Pennsylvania
Railroad will abandon and close its
big passenger terminal station at
Jersey City. The idea is to save the
expense of operating that station and
TO divert as much travel as possible
to the great tunnel terminal in New
York.
The plan is to run such trains as
are continued to Jersey City to the
new Summit avenue station of the
Hudson and Manhattan Railroad,
which is located more than a mile
back from the river at the point where
the tunnel line emerges from the
ground to join the Pennsylvania Rail-
road tracks to Manhattan Transfer
and Newark.
BY this changed arrangement,
through and suburban passengers to
and from the downtown district of
New York will use the Hudson tunnel
system from the points of transfer
with the Pennsylvania Railroad. It
is expected that the Jersey City sta
tion will give way for freight facili-
ties.
With the closing of the Jersey City
terminal, passenger trains of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, which now
use it and the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks to Waverly, will be operated to
and from the New Jersey Central sta
ton at Communipaw. from which
point ferries run to Liberty and West
Twentyzthird streets. New York The
New Jersey Central terminal is being

FIGHTING THE LOAN SHARKS.

THE CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN
L RAILROAD COMPANY intends to carry the
war against the loan sharks to the Supreme Court
of the United States the step having been decided
upon by the company in the interest of its en-
poyes.
The Illinois law draws fine distinction between
a debt and lien on future wages, and when an
employe goes through bankruptcy the loan sharks
get at hom again In test case the decision was
against the railroad company which was defending
its men and then il determined TO carry the
case to the highest tribunal.
The best kind of fight that could be made against
the loan sharks would be to form an organization
which could lend money to deserving but needy
wage earners, and it might prove satisfactory
should great corporations like the railway compan-
les come directly TO the aid of their men. Some
Of the men might not wish their employers to know
that at times they we're ."pinched" for money, but
this is a foolish notion.
Many employers realize that there are times
when their men need advances and they think none
the less of them if they ask for loan. There is
hardly business man that some time or other
does not lend his employees money, and is glad to
do So If the great corporations had lending So
cetes which would make advances at a reason
able rate of interest the evil wrought by the loan
sharks would be greatly lessened If not altogether
abolished.

CoST OF A STRIKE OF MINERS.

THE chief point at issue in the present dispute
i between the anthracite coal miners of Penn
syvania and the operators is whether the award
of the Anthracite Strike Commission appointed by
President Roosevelt ten years ago is to hold for
another three years period Since the first award
there have been two disagreements between the
miners and the operators over the subject and
twice the agreement has been extended, although
this was not done in 1906 until after a suspension
of work for a month or more.
In 1909 the miners withdrew their demands, and
now the agreement has come 10 end and
adjustment of terms is sought. The big strike
in 1892 lasted about six months and the loss in
wages to the miners amounted TO about S25,OOO0OO
and the decrease in the receipts Of the coal COM
panies indicated loss 70 them Of $40, 100000. The
loss 10 the railroads about S2s 100000 gross
in freight revenues. The sum of S20O0OO0 was
expended BY the unions of the miners for relief
and almost every industry IN the country felt the
disturbance Since that time the public has paid
IAN increase of from so cents to Sf00 a ton for
coal
Frem these figures the momcntous character OF
INC present controversy can be judged, and the
hope must be prevalent thar way will be found TO
adjust the dispute, although the officials of the
miners think that tie-up is probable. And the
end is most likely to be after an Industrial war
Involving heavy losses on both sides. a compromise
which will result in the public paying more for
hts coal.
