Interruption.

Sometimes the spring is jolly. when
the birds are singing free,
AS eagerly as If they all we're paid.
And the little yellow blossoms are as
While Nature ventures forth on dress
parade.
And then again the season about which
the poets rhyme
Will fail your admiration to awake,
When it impresses you as being moth
ing but time
When the doctor comes and tells you
what to take.
rhe culver of the branches as the
breeze goes drifting by
Where the willows bend above The
waters CLEAN,
Seems to offer a caress, as poor ole
winters passing sigh
Is mingled with the murmuring O.

But your joyous observations unre
strained cannot proceed.
You discover here and there a littl
ache.
And you find you must postpone you
light enthusiastic screed
Till the doctor comes and tells 20,
what to take.

platform on which he was standing. And
| he said, less than q year ago, after he
| had accepted his present office. that a
man in office finding himself out of touch
with his party's platform should resign.
This history is embarrassing to Mr.
Bryan at present. His opponents on the
| canal question, democrats, republicans
and bull moosers, are tenderly remind
ing him of it. But look at Mr.. Wilson's
case.
MI Wilson was intensely anti-Bryan
until few months before the Baltimore
convention. He had considered Mr..
Bryan a menace to the national democ-
racy, and expressed a wish that he might
be knocked into a cooked hat" At
Princeton he had taught against the in
itiative and referendum-one of Mr..
Bryan's pet policies. The first sugges-
tons of his name for President had
come from men as antagonistic to Mr..
Bryan and Organism as he himself was.
Then the unexpected happened Mr..
Bryan converted Mr.. Wilson; and the
conversion was complete. Mr.. Wilson
now described Mr.. Bryan as the greatest
of democrats-the man who had saved
the party He confessed error as to the
place beside Mr.. Bryan. accepted the
Baltimore nomination from him, then his
election to the presidency, and then
called Mr.. Bryan to a seat at the cabi-
net table.
So that it is six of one. and half a
dozen of the other. Mr.. Wilson has sur
rendered as much to Mr.. Bryan as Mr..
Bryan to Mr. Wilson. They are on even
terms on that score.
The political fortunes of the two men
are now interlocked. For better for
worse. for richer for poorer, they arc
united All efforts to put them asunder
will fail. Each is Indispensable to the
other Mr.. Wilson is particularly de-
pendent on Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Clark and
Mr. Underwood can assert independence,
but should Mr.. Bryan do so, and leave
the cabinet. the administration would
collapse. From that day Mr.. Wilson
would be unable to turn a wheel.

Wilson and BRYAN,

Mr.. Bryan stands with Mr.. Wilson in
the canal tolls matter ''unreservedly.'
Of course. Why not? If Mr.. Wilson has
converted him on that, has he not con-
verted Mr.. Wilson on other matters?
Turn about is fair play and good COM
radeship. Without reciprocity. what Mr..
Wilson calls team work in politics would
be impossible.
It is true Mr.. Bryan has said some
stiff things about the sacredness of party
platforms and party nominations. lie

persons not having the advantage Of in
| side information as to the facts and the
negotiations.
One may obtain glimpse OF the mag
nitude of the loan shark practices in the
District of Columbia by recent state
ment in The Star that ten companies have
signed the compromise agreement and
that fifteen others are expected to come
into the fold. That makes twenty-five
companies operating in Washington and
practicing what is alleged to be a loan
shark business. And that number does
not exhaust the list An idea of the cx-
tent of loan shark practices may also be
had from u statement repeatedly made
that the corporation counsers office has
prepared to prosecute more than 1,oo
cases of eXtortion in violation OF the re-
cent act of Congress against the money
sharks. Still another glimpse of the e4-
tent Of the workings Of these concerns
may be gathered from an especially or
fensive letter sent out by one of them, IN
which it was said that "of 8, I'll customers
on our books February 9, 1914, but eleven
awaited themselves of the obnoxious,
knave-breeding penalty clause in the loan
act as affirmed by the Court of Appeals
on that date
The reluctance or refusal of this COM
pany to comply with the plain terms OF
the law is indicated in the letter referred
to, which says that such a pronounced
rejection of a most unjust and conflsca-
tory provision of the law on the part of
our patrons proves them to be persons of
uniInpea enable honesty of character and
empha sizes the reputation of this com
pany, long enjoyed, of limiting it's bust
ness to select risks only" The DISPOSE
ton and intent of this concern to evade
or circumvent the law is shown by the
circular letter in question, which says
that 1.-THE company takes pleasure in ad-
vising its friends and customers that it
is now Offering a protit-sharing plan for
doing business which it is believed will
meet the requirements of the law and
enable worthy borrowers to continue in
business with US as heretofore
That provision of the law that patrons
victims of the loan companies may re-
pay only three-fourths of the principal of
the loan is to be rigidly enforced by the
corporation counsel's office. 1t is an
nounced that that office will send a cir
cular letter to all patrons of the loan
shark companies, calling their particular
attention to that provision. and that the
representatives of the corporation coun-
sells Office will check off the names of
customers on the companies books. In
the prosecution Of the loan sharks in
New York the law ofncers took possess
sion of the books of the loan companies
and used them in the prosecution of the
offenders.

Boy Scout Tag Day.

The Boy Scout movement deserves to
prosper. 1t has caught the fancy of the
boy and directs his natural outdoor bent
llong Understanding and man-making
ways. 1t teaches him and inspires him to
render good and faithful service to 9TH
ers. 1t shows him the sane and natural
way of building up his body and it
strengthens his power and habit of OBJ
servation. 1t utilizes the Unborn desire of
the normal boy to be a woodsman,
plainsman, pioneer or a pathfinder, and
guiding this instinct develops in him or
stimulates in him fondness for nature
study. Taking the native inclination of
the boy to be a fellow of action. it
teaches him by precept, example and
practice to be obedient and respectful of
authority, prompt and self-reliant. 1t
aims to and does give him an interest
In and knowledge of trees. plants, birds
and other things in nature which will en-
dure with him so long as he may live.
The city boy gets an acquaintance with
the country through the scout movement
which he would not otherwise obtain.
1t is the privilege of parents and of all
other adults to lend aid in this cause and
give themselves the satisfaction of pro-
noting a movement which means SO
much to the boys Of today and to the
men of tomorrow. Next Saturday will be
BOY Scout Tag day. 1t is great day in
the calendar Of the scout. Money is need
ed for certain necessary features of the
administration Of scout work and to fur
nish equipment for the scout summer
camp on Chesapeake bay. The sum re-
quired is not large. 1t is trifling when

The Loan Shark Cases.

The loan shark controversy. or the
loan shark question, has undergone so
many quick changes that it has been
somewhat perplexins for the public to
follow II. The announcement that the
corporation counsefs Office has deter
mined on the prosecution of the loan
sharks has been followed by the an
nouncement that the corporation coun-
sells office has effected an agreement with
the loan sharks and this again has been
promptly followed by the statement that
the loan sharks will be prosecuted. The
situation has been bewilderiug 10 those

Mr.. Clark and 1915.

WHY accuse Mr.. Clark of vancouver

cribe his opposition to the repeal OF
the free tolls law to a higher motive!
He is human but not Unfortunately SELL

the democratic organization.

ter. so far from trying to destroy Mr.
Wilson. Mr.. Clark is trying to save him
from himself? If he wanted to assist in
Mr. wilson's destruction. he would faii

For, as Mr.. Clark believes, there Is
grave peril, if not certain disaster. 10
Mr.. Wilson and all other democrats

but the democratic party. He wants the
party to have a show for its white
alley in 1916. and not go into that cam
paign hampcred with the charge OF
having repudiated the Baltimore plat
form in one of its most important pro-
visions and in the interests of for
eign government.
Mr.. Clark has never been accused OF
ghost dancing. He Is rhetorical. but not
hysterical. He makes no specially OF
seeing red. He ought to be good
Judge of political issue. and of it's
strength or weakness with the coun-
try He is a veteran legislator. and as
a stumper has visited all sections and
addressed large crowds. For years he
has been one of his party's most popu-
lar and effective orators.
Necessarily, therefore, his position at
this time on this most momentous is
sue attracts profound attention. Men
who know him do not question his mo-
tives. Men who have served in the
House with him are not surprised at
his show of courage. They have seen
him exhibit that quality before. And as
a man of courage he is good loser, IS
was shown in the campaign Of 1912, and
has been shown in this Congress on
measures recommended by the Presi-
dent.
AS to 1916. the situation has been
plain from the day of Mr.. Wilson's in
auguration. If his administration is a
success he will get second term. If it
proves a failure, out he will go, and the
party with him. Hence the earnest effort
of democrats of Mr.. Clark's way Of think
ing to prevent a step which they fear
will cost the party that election. Their
aim is the party's good. and not per-
sonal advantage for anybody.
