One week from tonight Washington
indoor track men will take a fiier at
the athletes assembled in the Fifth
Regiment Armory, in Baltimore, in the
first indoor meet OF the winter.

of the various track teams in the high
schools and colleges will send in their
blanks today. tomorrow, and Monday.
While the athletes have shown little
inclination so far to take the trip.
there is every indication that one OF
the biggest squads in the history of
indoor track athletics will go after the
honors and medals in Baltimore's big
gest meet.
Interest is centered in the track
events and relays, although 1t is un-

Picks Both Candidates

Whether the Presidential candidates are chosen
by federal primary state primaries or conventions,
it will merely be a matter Of ratification. Speaker
Clark has already kindly named the principal candi-
dates. He says that Senator Borah of Idaho will be
the Republican nominee. The fact that Senator DO.
rah was present at the meeting where the horoscope
was cast had no, influence. While Mr.. Clark is al
ways gracious, except where the secretary of state
Is concerned, he was speaking prophetically and in
all seriousness. Nominations may be given in pleas
antry or in courtesy by some people, but not by Mr..
Clark. 1t is no subject for jest with. him 4since the
tragedy at Baltimore. Had the speaker smerely in
tended a compliment to Senator Borah he would not
have indicated the result of the campaign. There
was little generosity in giving Senator Rorah the
Republican nomination, taking the Democratic nom,
ination himself and then electing himself. Nor can
we suspect Mr.. Clark of Boosting of his own qualit.
cations. The spirit of prophecy sat upon him and
he was merely declaring manifest destiny.
Mr.. Clark spoke as historian, as we'll as prophet.
He told his hearers bluntly that he ought to DC
President now. Regardless of satisfaction, or dissat-
isfacti0n' with President. Wilson. every dispassionate
student of the Baltimore convention must accept this
conclusion by all the rules of the political game

dwelling on the ~treachery at Baltimore Mr.. Clark is
merely Furnishing himself without in any manner
hurting Mr.. Bryan. And when he recits his troubles
to- the. public he weakens himself. He should recall
the case of Peary and Cook. The glib good nature of
the latter made him millions of friends, while the
bitterness of Peary drove millions from him. The

to believe it to be one of the injnnctions of Holy

The PdsSinQ of an Empire Builder

In q recent issue, the Financial World: magazine
publishes the following mention of Lord Strathcona,
which shows that men OF common birth can advance
under the English flag, as well as in the United
States. The article says:
From trapping wild animals for their furs at the
furthermost %outposts of civilization, to the highest
honor in the gift Of his government, that of High
Chancellor, and its accredited representative at the
Court of st. James, is the transition through which
in q long and useful life, the late Lord StrathcOna
passed. Here is a career to which fond Canadian
fathers will point their sons, to fire them with; high
resolve. K" ~
Lord Strathcona was a scotchman. When he first
went to Canada his capital consisted of a few dollars,
rugged health, perseverance,, temperate habits and a
restless ambition to forge ahead in the world He
started as a trapper for the Hundscn Fay Company,
but even the silent and abandoned woods could not
conceal from civilization his unusual genius as an
empire builder and a keen visioned knight of action.
who seemed to have a prophetic gift OF grasplng
opportunities at just the right moment.
Step by step he advanced and as he proceeded he
built enterprises which will remain enduring monu-
ments to perpetuate his life in the memory Of Cana
dams. But the monolith which will tower the highest
in commemoration of his faith in his adopted country
and its future will always remain, that is, the Canadl-
an Pacific, that great transcontinental SYSTEM. which,
when projected, was thought to be the folly Of q few
daring adventurers, but which developed into the
richest railroad property on the Western Hemisphere.
More than that did the Canadian Pacific become
to Canada. 1t developed the country with a rapidity
80 phenomenal that the story of it has seemed like
some fairy tale.
And behind this master work stood aloft the figure
of Lord Strathcona, the canny Scott, who could sec
so far ahead and tear aside the curtain that hsd
concealed the future. s.,
Only another great figure among men born on the
soil over which the British flag waves has had a
career which typities in the same degree the develop.
