Clark and Wilson.

(FrOm the Washington Star.)
 Champ Clark at the White House will be of service to the president and to the democratic party. He knows politics thoroughly, and has had large experience as legislator. He has no selfish ends to serve. He comedies Mr. Wilson's renomination, and will of course, contribute all in his power toward Mr. Wilson's re- election.
 MT. Clark could be of more service if his party had not stripped the speakership of its rightful import ance. In the last two houses his duties were simply those of a presid- ing officer. In the new house they will probably be no greater. A man of his ability exercising in the speak CTS chair the influence that MT. Can non exercised there could be of great assistance in the handling of a 1eg!s- latiVe programme as comprehensive and difficult as the one now confront ing the democracy.
 But even without that influence, with only the gavel in hand and the duty of putting and deciding parlia- mentary questions to discharge, MT. Clark should yet be a tower of strength to the president in the party business that will come before tho house. No better counsel is available to the president
 How rapid and radical sometimes are the shifts of politics! But for MT. Bryan's course at Baltimore, MT Clark would now be president. The convention bore Clark complexion, and was headed for a Clark result. But MT. Bryan interposed, and MT. Wilson was nominated
 Naturally, MT. Bryan was made the premier of the administration he had brought in. It was but his due. He had much to say, and MT. Clark practically nothing at all The latter did not sulk but attended strictly to his own affairs.
 With the administration but little more than halfway through its allott- ed term. MT. Bryan has passed out, | and MT. Clark now by invitation has come in, as a presidential adviser. But more than that MT. Bryan has gone into open opposition to the president on most important policy -prepa redness-while MT. Clark will assist with the putting of that policy into the proper shape.
 In the circumstances the president has gained by the change. What he most needs now is advice and assis- tance for his legislative programme; and as a judge of a legislative situa- tion, and how to deal with it on the eve of presidential campaign, MT. Clark ranks MT. Bryan. and, for that matter nearly every other member of the democratic party.

Perhaps the worst mistake that the suffragists made in their campaign in New Jersey was to antagonize the men. From the beginning the suf- frage enthusiasts themselves, as we'll as the newspapers and the male speakers who aimed to help the cause, took the position that every man and every interest that were op- posed to equal suffrage were in some way identified with evil influences. The whole propaganda seemed to have been lined up on the principle that the male voters were made up of two classes-honorable men and dishonor- able men, the former being practically without exception in favor of woman suffrage and the latter being almost to a man opposed to the cause.-Pater- son ress-Guardian.

All the evidence tends to the con- clusion that relatively small minor itv (Of women) desire the ballot, a much smaller one make an intelligent use of it and the greater number using it act under influences not favorable to public benefit. It Woulo be we'll if before suffrage was granted to women in any state the questlon could in some way be submitted to their own judgment, and all quallhed by citizenship and age could be ln- duced to pronounce upon it. AL present the evidence is decidedly against it, the thoughtful and silent largely outnumbering the aggressive and vociferous.-New York Journal of Commerce.

The MOVIES" AND THE DRAMATIC ART
Class Divisions VIII Be Intensified With the Theatre
Becoming Distinctly Aristocratic
BY WALTER PRICHARD EATON
Dramatic nd Essavist
Dramatic Critic and Essayist.

The drama Is two thousand.
five hundred years old. or more.
Motion pictures are the invention
OF our. own generation. The Ques-
ton most frequently asked about
them today by thoughtful people
is:
What effect are they going to
have on the spoken drama. on
the art Of the theatre2"
PROFESSIONALLY. they will have
some effect. are having some ef-
feet already. The sudden erup-
ton of film dramas may be COM
pared. in a way. to the invention
OF machinery a century ago. The
invention OF machinery altered
the entire economic status OF so
ciety. Some of its results were
good. and others man is but now
setting about TO counteract.
Similarly. the motion picture Is
a machine-made product. vastly
cheaper in price. substituted for
the old handmade article-the
to suppose that any article so
much reduced in price win not
continue to command a market.
The movies are here to stay.
That we have got TO reckon with
at the start, just as much as ma
chine-made shoes are here 10
stay. But. after all. the drama
Is an art. not an inanimate pro-
duct. The human element enters
in 20 an extent unknown in the
strictly manufacturing field. Ma
chine-made shoes are not only
cheaper. but often nearly as good
as handmade, so far as the con-
sumner is concerned. But ma
chine-made drama. though cheap
er. is not so good. can never be
so good, is not the same thing at
all.
II Is not quite true, therefore,
TO say there is. or will be. compe-
tition between the spoken drama
and the movies. They are In re
ality not offering the same wares.
There is competition only in the
sense that one man may be try
ing TO induce you to spend your
dollar for a necktie. while an
other entices you to buy a new
pipe. And because OF this fact,
dangerous as II is TO attempt
prophecy. we may venture the
guess that the spoken drama IN
the future will show the effect OF
the movies by becoming, con-
stantly. not more like them, but
more unlike them. There are al
ready signs that this is happen
ing. The movie drama can at
tain a realism OF scenic setting

can employ a freedom OF tech

changes, a dash and daring OF &C
