CLARK AND WILSON.

If it serves no other purpose, the
continued use of Mr.. Clark's name in
connection with the presidency shows
the great popularity of the man. Mr..
Taft is highly and Justly praised as
good loser. Is he better man than
Mr.. Clark? That Baltimore expert
ence was an extreme test. The prize
was almost in hand. The next ballot
should have brought it, but did not.
Fortune decreed otherwise and the
prize went to another.
That other received Mr.. Clark's
support in the campaign that follow
ed, and in office has received it. Only
in the Panama Canals tolls matter
has Mr.. Clark antagonized the pres
ident; and in doing that he acted as
the champion of the Baltimore plat
form. In all other matters he mas
helped hold up the presidents hands.
He is helping to hold them up in the
matter of preparedness, while Mr..
Bryan, is struggling to lower them.
The manifestation of this spirit has
strengthened Mr.. Clark's hold on his
old friends, and won new friends to
his side. He is probobly the most
popular democrat in the country to-
day. Many Bryan men do not like
Mr.. Wilson, while few, if any, Wilson
men like Mr.. Bryan. But, as rule,
both Bryan men and Wilson men like
r. Clark. The good loser has, with
his other qualities, captured both.
AS a result, nothing is more GER
tain than that if, for any reason, Mr..
Wilson's fortunes should decline be-
tween now and June to the point of
making his nomination undesirable
at st. Louis, the democracy would
turn instinctively and unanimously
to Mr.. Clark. 1t is to be doubted if
in such circumstances any other
name but the speakers would be
mentioned. His record and prestige
would prevail anywhere; but in st.
Louis, the metropolis of his home
state, crowded with his friends, they
would carry in convention all be-
fore them.
This of course, is not to say that
Mr.. Clark would give such value to
the nomination as would make him a
winner He himself is Wilson man,
and has said that if the nomination
has any value it will go to Mr.. Will
son And so he might not care to
lead forlorn hope. But if called to
do so he could not decline. He would
be obliged to take up the standard
and carry it forward as best he could.
In all this may be found the expla-
nation Of the sentiment which now
and then finds expression in the spec
ulation about Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Will
son. Democrats who are FESTIVE un-
der Mr.. Wilson's leadership some
openly, some secretly-would be
glad to see Mr.. Clark supplant it.

ROOT PLEADS FOR
wedding OUT OF
INCOMPETENT men
L..
President of American Bar Associa-
!. ton, in Annual Address, Wants
- Changes.
SAYS MANY ATTORNEYS
ARE VERY UNNECESSARY
Urges Lawyers of Country to Forget
selfshness and Aid the
Country.
(By United Press)

Chicago, Aug. 30 President Elihu
Root of the American Bar association
pleaded for a wedding out of the un-
necessary and incompetent among the
$4,000 lawyers in THE; United States
in his annual address at the open
ing of the meeting of that organiza-
tion here today.
1T is true of the American people
generally" said Mr.. Root, that too
many of us having been trying to get
something out of the country and
too few of us have been trying to
serve it."
Forget Selfshness.
Basing his plea for efficiency in the
administration of the law upon the
statement that we must get down to
brass tacks in all our affairs if we're
going to keep pace with Europe after
the war, Mr.. Root f1ayed our "cum-
bersome machinery of justice" and
called upon the lawyers to forget
their selfishness and give the country
a little service not only in law admin
istration, but in law. making. He
said that as rule only the youngest
and least experienced lawyers get
into our lawmaking bodies, local,
state and national. Concerning the
law and the lawyers, Mr.. Root said {:
There is great economic waste in
the administration of the law in state
and nation. We spend vast sums
building court houses, paying judges,
clerks and others and the product in
Jrstice>-fs disproport1onate to- the
plant and working force. There is
no country in the world where the
doing of justice is burdened by such
heavy overhead charges. It all
causes an enormous waste of time on
the part of witnesses, jury panel and
parties.
Bar is Crowded.
"The ease with which admission
to the bar is secured in many juris-
dictiOns and the attraction of car
eer which affords living without
manual labor has crowded the bar
with more lawyers than are neces-
sary. Of the 114,000 lawyers in the
United States very considerable
part are not needed. If that busi-
ness was conducted like the business
of any great Industrial or transport
tatlOn company which is striving for
the highest efficiency at the least cost
in order to compete successfully with
it's rivals, very considerable per-
centage of the 1l4,00O would be dis
charged.
'Why do these defects exist in our
administration of justice? The Am
erican people are not quarrelsome or
litigious They are good natured,
practical, simple and direct in their
methods, respectors of law and hon
est in their dealings. Our bar as a
whole is courageous, loyal and able.
I think the underlying cause is that
unconsciously we treat the business
of administering justice as something
to be done for private benefit instead
of for public service"
Should Redraft Law.
Mr.. Root admitted that our basic
law should be redrafted but, he ad-
ded, none but prophet or seer could
do it and none such was available.
The meeting will close with the an
nual dinner of the association Friday
night.
