Most of the big game in your country
and In mine-the western country-such as
the buffalo, the elk and antelope, has
gone. There are just few wolves left.
When I have been hunting I have made
a fire which protected me against wolves
at night and there was always some man

daughter Nancy. She shakes hands with
you as wampum of good faith between

BRYAN AND CLARK
By c. e. STEWART

Washington, March 7.-(Special.)-O of
the notable things in the Inauguration of
President Wilson was the ovation given
to Champ Clark by the large crowd in
front of the capitol steps when the speak
er made his appearance on the steps max
ing his way to the platform where the
President took the oath of office. It was
a tribute to the man who had obtained a
majority of the votes of the democratic
convention and yet failed to reach the de-
sired goal of the nomination, and to the
spirit which promted him to lay his dis
appointments aside and to plunge into the
fight and do his part toward the election
of his successful rival.
When Bryan appeared he was also given
a rousing reception. believed by many to
be even greater than the one accorded
Clark. The Nebraskan--premier of the
Wilson cabinet-made his way to the plat
form and shook hands with Chief Justice
White and other notables, but did not
go on the side occupied by the speaker.
Mr.. Clark remained In his seat and did
not even turn his head.
Attitude Toward Bryan
There is no question but what the speak
er believes that he was unjustly treated
by Bryan, and that the Nebraskan delib-
erately snatched the presidency from his
hands and bestowed it upon another. And
while he has accepted the situation and is,
and will remain, loyal to the democratic
party and to the man on whom the party
has conferred the presidency, it is hard
to believe that he will ever forgive Bryan.
In spite of this situation, and tho well
known attitude of the Secretary OF State
toward Mr.. Underwood. few doubt but
conducted with the greatest harmony be-
tween the executive. and legislative
branches of the government.
Cabinet Meets Favor
Mr.. Wilson's cabinet selections are met
with favor by members of Congress. The
predictions that Bryan will not remain in
the cabinet for year are not taken seri-
ously, and Mr.. Wilson is warmly praised
for standing firm to the man who is most
responsible for his presence now in the
White House. He could have done little
less, ii Is declared. The situation Is COM
pared with that which confronted John
Quincy Adams in 1925, when he called
Henry Clay to the state department. The
argument against Mr.. Clay was exactly
the same used against Mr.. Bryan. Mr.
Adams was warned against Mr. Clay OH
the score that brilliant orator. agitator
and politician was not fit man to handle
the delete business of diplomacy. But
Henry Clay disappointed his enemies and
succeeded in his office.
This is Mr.. Bryan's first service in a
public office since he left Congress, and
his friends believe that he will BECOME
as great in the execution Of policies as
he undoubtedly is as an advocate OF
policies.
and the outlook is good. 1t is believed that
the success Of the democratic administra-
tion both in executive and legislative now
lies in the hands of the most capable men
of the delnOcratic faith

STOCK MARKET HEAVY

New York, March 7.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Spring trade conditions are healthy.
staple goods receive most call, but
there is quite little booking of far
future business, though buying in this
respect is tempered to some extent by
prospective tariff changes. Wool Is
quiet and prices are rather weak. In
dustrial operations proceed at an ac-
tive pace. outdoor work has been con-
Quoted with few pauses throughout the
winter season
The market for flour appears to be
oyerstocked and flour milling in the
northwest is quieter Specifications for
finished steel are unusually heavy and
the industry as a whole is working at
high pressure. Copper has improved
little owing to foreign demand.
Winter wheat conditions are favorable
and in the south preparations are 60
ing forward for the new planting sea-
son with prospects favoring an in
creased cotton acreage The railways
are busy with miscellaneous ship
ments.
Money is firmer. demand is active,
and banks are closely loaned up. Stock
market operations are characterized by
dullness and considerable heaviness is
apparent. The chief factor is the un-
settled condition of European markets.
Business failures for the week end
ing March were $50 which compares
with 2S7 in the like week of 1912.
Wheat including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending March aggregate 81
6S9,07S. This compares with 4,S00,1s3
bushels last week and 1,s99,227 this
week last year.
New York, March 7.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S review tomorrow will say:
While there is little speculation In
any market. yet such activity has pre-
vailed for the past few months In the
important industries tosshow evidence
of trade continuing undated. Railroad
earii.-gs of four weeks of February In
creased 4 per cent as compared with
the same period last year. Other Feb
ruary statistics We're generally favor
able including the producers OF cop
pers statement.
The daily production of iron in Feb
ruary exceeded that of January, con-
elusive evidence of the continued ac-
tivity in the iron and steel trade the
heavy purchases of steel products by
railroads and agricultural implement
makers being the main feature.
The textile trades are experiencing
a continued large demand which keeps
both mills and distributing houses
busy. The clothing strike is in the
process of settlement and arbitration
of the important dispute between the
eastern railroads and their firemen Is
to begin next week. The shoe trade
reports steady broadening of activity.
Winter wheat conditions are very
encouraging and the new cotton crop
outlook is unusually favorable. Trade
reports from the leading distributing
centers are generally good. Tho se-
curity markets have been on the whole
more settled.
