CLARK EULOGlZES WILSON AT FEAST
 IN QUAKER CITY
Speaking at St. Patrick's Day Banquet He Emphasizes Inn
 pOrtance of Loyalty.

PhiladeEphia- March 18.-speaker Clark, addressing the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick here last night eu1ogized President Wilson as sampng the great. presidents whose names can be counted on the fingers of one hand
 sIt is no exaggeration to say that he bears a, heavier load than any president since Lincoln has borne, 7 said the speaker.
 At length Speaker Clark reviewed the work of the Dem ocratic, Congress which, he said, had been accomplish ed with the aid and approval of Re publican and Progressive votes and predicted that any political party could not carry ten states on the re- peal of the income tax. He declared the country was rapidly recovering from the depression of the European war and to speed prosperity, urged that all federal state, county and municipal works be pressed.
 The Congress has done its work he said, senators and representatives have returned to their hom mes. The president remains in Washington be- cause of the tlck1ish situation in which we find ourselves by reason of the Transatlantic war. It is no ex- aggeration to say that he bears a. heavier load than any president since Lincoln has borne No man. no men, can relieve him of his burden. His troubles, being purely executive in character, are his and his alone. In the very nature of things he knows more about what is going on abroad than does any other man in AmeTf- ca because he has better means of informant on.
 Every good citizen, without refer enee to politics or religion should trust him and uphold him in this crisis of our country's fate. May IGod give him the wisdom, courage land strength tod keep Us out of en- tanglernents with foreign natl ions and ! lead us in the paths Of peace.
