Champ Clark's himself credit in the
discretion. house yesterday dur
ing the debate on the
tolls repeal. Many thought he would
assail the president as some lesser
of both parties have done
and done in ways that reflect on their
intelligence. But Champ Clark prov
ed himself a bigger man than some
of his followers wanted him to be. He
argued the issue on its merits but
declined to make personal attack
on the president and upon the presi-
dents motives.
1t is possible of course that know
ledge of the fact the house stood by
the president may have had soften
ing influence upon the speaker. Had
Clark assailed the president there is
no guarantee that 81 majority for re-
peal would not have been converted
into a majority for the recall of the
speaker. The present government
seems to be strong on team work and
it has been one of the most valuable
assets thus far.
John L. Sullivan thinks that the

We're better players
Not Like the than those of the
oiden Days present. 1t is natur-
al he should think
so. To many men around the so
year age limit John L. Sullivan is the
greatest fighter that ever lived.
Those around S5 are more likely to
boost for Corbett or Jefferies. The
man around 25 knows that Jack

is not the only old timer who thinks
the past was swifter than is the pres
ent. There are men in abundance
who believe there was formerly more
weather than at present. There are
men who do not find the sun so
bright or the flowers so. pretty or the
birds so cheerful as was the case 80
Years ago. The world however is not
going the downward path but is slow
ly but surely improving. The change
is evidently in the viewer not in the
view.
In the financial world there is no
hilarious enthusiasm. 1t is known |

Industrial readjust-

view of March IS Henry Clews dwells
at some length on these features yet |
still has the following hopeful words:
The financial outlook for the fu-
ture should still be regarded hope
fully. We have fairly discounted all
unfavorable factors; financial and in
dustrial conditions are intrinsically
sound; the oncoming of spring should
impart some recovery: political con-

These are all factors of a curative
sort. The situation in Ulster has had
no effect upon the London markets,
and it is evident that well informed
sources do not anticipate civil war.
The first of April, when over $780,
100000 in dividends will be distrib-

there is nothing to prevent a fair re-
