new thing. 1t is good thing, for the
modern newspaper. like other human in

disclosed the fact that each Of the two

man or signalman there to direct the
movements OF the cars It should have
been the most obvious OF deductions from
this accident. especially as others have
occurred OF a similar nature at various
street car crossings in this city. that the
sure way to prevent mishaps of the same
kind in the future would be to require the
employment of fagmen at all the busy
crossings Yet up TO date nothing has
been done in this direction by either the
Interstate commerce commission. under
It's special authority Of supervision over
local street railway matters, or the
District Commissioners. under their gen.
eral police regulation authority granted
by act of Congress. What further proof
is required OF the danger of depending
upon the mutual signals OF motornen at
places of heavy traffic? There is no as
surance whatsoever that cars will not
come together with fatal results any day

Iers OF street railway regulation TO re-
lieve congestion and lessen danger is ali
very well, and may lead TO better condi-
tions. but OF imperative necessity is the
stationing OF signalmen to keep the
cars from coming together. This can be
done without further legislation and

Clark and Wilson.

In inner Wilson circles there is criti-
cism of Champ Clark. His loyalty to
the ticket is not impea ched, but it IS de-
scribed as chilly. 1t lacks warmth. Fear
Is expressed that unless Mr.. Clark
changes his manner and speech his fol-
lowers may not find their way to the
polls in large numbers on election day.
Is not this unjust? What would these
critics have? Mr.. Clark promptly ac-
quiesced in the Baltimore decision. and
telegraphed his congratulations TO Mr..
Wilson. He then journeyed to Seagirt.
and paid his respects IN person. He
then headed the procession of the demo-
cratic members of the House to Seagirt
and introduced the visitors one by one to
the candidate He then announced his
purpose to take the stump for the ticket
as soon as Congress adjourned. What
more remained, or remains. for him to
do?
Maybe the criticism is founded on the
fact that MIR. Bryan promptly acquiesced
in the St. Louis decision in 1904. congrat-
ulated Judge Parker on his nomination,
and took the stump for the ticket. but
did it all so perfunctorily many thou
sands Of his followers failed to enroll
time came
Mr. Clark has excuse for stronger dis
appointment than Mr.. Bryan had eight
years ago. Judge Parker's nomination
was simply the defiance by the St. Louis
convention of Mr.. Bryan's advice. Mr..
Bryan himself was not a candidate be-
fore the convention. He had only point
ed out to that body the inadvisability of

SO that on the personal side his resent
ment was small.
At Baltimore Mr.. Clark was over
whelmed- He was not only a candidate.
but the leading candidate; not only led.
but on a number OF ballots polled a SUBJ
stan-ial majority OF the delegates. BY
every consideration Of fair dealing he
should have been nominated. Mr.. Bryan

Mr.. Clark had three times supported for

to Mr.. Clark's fortunes from Mr..
Clark 10 Mr.. Wilson, and led the
movement which resulted in the Wilson
victory. He put the knife to Mr.. Clark
just when the latter was in sight OF sue
cess.
Still, Mr.. Clark was obliged to bow, and
did bow, to the result. He is in line,
though probably his enthusiasm for the
moment might be higher. A man ordi-
narily does not recover from such an ex-
perience in a fortnight or six weeks The
time approaches, however. when he will
ask for votes for Mr.. Wilson. even with
Mr.. Bryan likely to head a Wilson cabi-
net. and it will then be for the men OF
the Ozark country and Clark men else
where to decide on their course.
