Loan Shark Conference Report.

IL Is not comforting news, though not
necessarily discouragfng, that the con-
ference report on the loan shark bill does
not promptly come before the House. The
stars news report has it that Representa-
tive Dyer, who had the matter in charge,
has found 1t necessary to remain in ST.
Louis, where a contest Is in progress over
his seat in the next Congress. The in
formation is that Mr.. Dyer. whose seat
Is being contested by Michael ]. Gill of
St Louis. democrat, will return to Wash
tngton about the end of the present
month That is not long to wait, but 1t is
also reported that efforts are making to
induce some other member of the Dis
trict committee to take up the loan shark
matter on the floor of the House
This ought not to be difficult to bring
about. The loan shark bill, necessitated
by conditions requiring effective regula-
ton OF this class Of business. is on the
verge of enactment into law. The Senate,
which in conference did not get what ii
wanted, or at least got what it did not
want-the inclusion of pawnbrokers
within the provisions Of the biIl-accepted
the conference report without serious op-
poeitio The House. having its main
contention Incorporated in the conference
report, will very likely adopt it as soon
as II is brought to its consideration.
There ought to be no further delay in
clinching this matter and in getting the
loan shark measure written among the
statutes

National Chamber of Commerce.

The capital is glad to play the role of
host to the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States. which maintains its
headquarters in Washington and which
comes to this city to hold its first an
nual convention. This National Chamber
of Commerce is representivc of the vast
and complex business interests of the
United States 1t is composed of men
and the representatives of men who have
made the United States great, and are
making it greater one of the COM
mercial powers of the world. These men
arc not politicians and professionally
have no interest in political questions
except as they relate to the general good
the general upbuilding and the general
promotion of the business affairs of the
country. They are to prove themselves
an effective counterbalanSe to those ele-
ments whose belief seems to be that the
general good demands restriction Of bust
ness. harassing of business and govern
ment interference with business, and who
carry their belief, in some cases, to the
absurdity that the public good demands
tho destruction of business
These business men, knowing the value
OF organization and cooperation, have or
eanized for the promotion of national
business, and have wisely adopted WASH
1ngton as their headquarters and as the
meeting place for their first convention
In no other city could their deliberations
and tho results of their deliberations have
so much influence on the national opin-
lon as in Washington. This convention
will be able to present in a clear and con-
crete form the opinion OF the business in
terests Of the nation on pending and pro-
dected legislation.
Washington extends its welcome to the
National Chamber OF Commerce and
wishes 1t happy and profitable sojourn
In tho city.

under discussion. In fact. We had start
ed with the policy. and 1t had produced
such encouraging results many prominent
politicians had become its ardent advo-
Gates. Mr.. Clay was their leader.
Mr.. Polk faced the other way. and as
he had defeated Mr.. Clay for President
though not specifically on that issue-his
inaugural address contained reference
to the tariff. 1t was general in terms. but
entirely frank and clear. He declared
that 1.-The raising of revenue should be
the object of taxation and protection the
incident; that to reverse this principle
and make protection the object and rev.
enue the incident. would be to infiict
manifest injustice upon all other than
the protected interests
Since Mr.. Folks day protection has been
an object, as we'll as an incident, in tariff
making. Both democrats and republicans
have made it so. The country has shown
amazing growth in manufactures. Indus
trial plants of that kind have invaded the
south, and been prospecting. north and
south. 4 great army of wage-earners has
come into being. and the American wage
scales are the highest in the world.
The friends of protection assert that to
give manufacturers and waSe-earners
only the crumbs that fall fioIn the tax
ing boards, and make no specific provi-
sion for their support. would reduce them
to starvation: that they are entitled to
special consideration, and must have it.
The Walker tariff has always been
prominent in tariff discussions, and Mr.
Folks administration though succeeded
by whig administration. was upon the
whole a good one. Still, as period OF
nearly seventy years separates that time
from this and all conditions have changed
so materially-some radically--a tariff law
now fashioned strictly after that law
might work a great deal of injury. The
probability is that. while praising both
President Folks and Secretary Walkers
deliverances on the tariff subject. Mr..
Underwood and his friends will make
protection much more than an incident i'll
the measure or measures they present.
An announced and distinct "drive' at
protection, with the purpose Of putting an
end to the policy as soon as possible.
would chill the country.

including the largest and those under
popular condemnation. have gone there
for charters. AS mismated couples have
gone to Reno for divorce. congenial cap
italists with business schemes have gone
to Jersey Blue for union. A trust charter
with the Jersey stamp on it has been the
thing in that line.
Local sentiment has encouraged the
growth. Democrats and republicans
have joined hands in showing hospitality
to wealth. home and foreign. Both have
offered protection to capital seeking a
place to lay its head. Jersey trusts have
become as famous as jersey mosquitoes
or Jersey lightning"
Gov. Wilson disapproves of all this. and
would put stop to it. His hat is In the
ring. He challenges the trusts to battle
He will take them on one at time, or
altogether. He knows their power, but
offers himself against the combination.
and as the legislature is democratic in
both branches he should be able to &C
complish something.
In some measure. therefore. whatever
Gov. Wilson does accomplish as to local
trust conditions and procedure should
serve a guide to President Wilson in
dealing with national trust conditions
and procedure. The trust problem when
he reaches this town will tax him more
than the tariff problem. AS NTH case
of the tariff. he will find democrats on
both sides of the fence. AS protection,
though inveighed against by the demo-
cratic party. has benefited many demo-
ocrats. do the trusts. though black
listed by that organization, show many
democrats among their organizers, spon-
sorS and beneficiarics.

New Jersey and Trusts.

Gov. Wilson explains that the trust, or
rather antitrust. bills introduced in the
New Jersey legislature yesterday embody
his ideas of how the questions should be
dealt with III that state He then adds
National legislation might have to be
different"
Again big business is disappointed. Not
yet Is II permitted to know just what
Mr.. Wilson will recommend to Congress
on the subject The view from the White
House here win be larger than that from
the state house at Trenton. and may
csl for q treatment all its own.
Still 1t is advisable that both big and
little business follow proceedings at Tren-
ton closely. Tips may appear. The de-
bate should be full OF suggestions II
is not conceivable that the legislature will
ral- in readily and unanimously with the
governors recommendations AS usual
there are two sides to the question, and
the debate viii develop both. The gov
ernors friends in the body will extend
his arguments, and his opponents
combat them. A good deal must be said
before the legislature acts.

the southwest for a little hunting made
a few speeches, and in one discussed the
tariff. Said he: I'VE must go back to
the tariff Of 1s46 for q solution OF our
tariff problem"
That measure was prepared under the
inspiration OF Robert ]. Walker. then
Secretary OF the Treasury, and Secretary
Walker acted under the inspiration Of his
chief. President Polk. Both men were
strong advocates OF a tariff for revenue
only. Mississippi. the home of the Sec
rotary. and Tennessee, the home of the

Slate in Coal.

The toal question has many angles and
few points of view give happy prospect
or outlook to the coal consumer. At one
time it is higher prices than the public
ought to pay. prices arbitrarily made by
some party or parties on whom the pub
lie finds il difficult if not impossible to
fix responsibility. At another time there
is talk of coal famine, when there
seems to consumers no reason for a
famine and it is difficult to obtain deliv-
cries of coal. Then there are charges
of short weight-the charge by consum-
ers that they do not get what they pay
for.
Now comes the charge that the coal
purchasers get full weight, but that they
get it in slate and not i'm coal. 1t is
reported in the news columns of The Star
that complaints of slate weighted coal
recently have been made to the superin-
tendent of weights and measures and
markets and that "one person who took
the pains to find out just how much slate
he had acquired in quantity of coal
purchased discovered the amount to be
approximately IL per cent
AS reported, it seems to be a question
whether dealers who sell coal containing
considerable quantity of slate may be
reached under the short weight law. And
this point is under consideration in the
office Of the superintendent of weights
and measures. There ought to be no
question on this score and there prOba-
bly, will not be. as to what steps will be
taken by the sealer of weights and meas
ures to protect the public. Slate is not
coal.
1t is encouraging to read that officers
charged with the duty of protecting con-
sumers against short weight have said
that conditions regarding the sale of coal
in the District are excellent, that loaded
coal wagons intercepted have shown
overweight rather than underweight, and
that dealers have evinced every DISPOSE
ton to. cooperate with the authorities
