The Speaker in the Game.

Mr.. Clark as an active factor in af-
fairs again will be welcome. The
House, his party and the country need
him. He has been in exile too long.
The House needs him, because he
is a master of House procedure. He
knows all the ropes, and how and
when to pull them. He ranks with
the veteran legislators. He is IA
miliar with all the leading legisla-
tive questions of the day. He can be
placed definitely on any of them.
His party needs him, because of its
present endorsements in the House.
In a measure, and too large meas
ure, it is leaderless there. The rea-
son is we'll understood. Mr.. Kitchin,
lacking nothing else, lacks sympathy
with the administration principal
policies, and on that account is not
the aggressive and militant force a
leader should be. AS a result, there
is hesitation and delay where there
should be certainty and progress.
The country needs Mr.. Clark, be-
cause the responsibility for legisla-
ton is on the democratic party, and
the best possible results should be
Forthcoming. Several very important
things are pressing; and the House,
either directly or indirectly, is
charged with the initiative. AS they
are to bear the hallmark of the party,
the mark should represent the best
there is in the party.
For these reasons much interest
has been aroused by The Stars news
story of Saturday, that Mr.. Clark's
counsels are being sought by many of
his party friends. these days; that
members of the House are finding
their way to his rooms at the Capitol
for a word or two with him about
measures and the situation in gen.
eral
Mr.. Clark has nothing but counsel
to offer. His party-and with his CO.
operation-stripped the speakership
of all power when it came into its
kingdom. Until now, he has been
largely occupied with the duties of
presiding officer, which any pariia-
mentarian could discharge very we'll
Except on one or two occasions the
House has not heard his voice in de-
bate. or felt the force of his sug-
gestions in any other way. The leg
islator has been in exile in the chair,
and mere observer of how others
were playing their parts.
1t may not be within Mr.. Clark's
power, nor within the scope of his
thoughts or intentions, to assert
leadership; but the weight of his
name is such that any marked inter
est shown by him in the congress
sional program outside of the con-
fines to which his Office has been
narrowed is matter OF moment, and
a subject for comment and congratu-
1ations.

Self Confidence

The advertisements in The
Star testify to the faith of the
advertisers in themselves and
their goods.
The advertisers believe in
their ability to please you; to
make good in every respect or
else they would not invite your
patronage.
Self-confdence usually has
something substantial to back
it UP.
1t is factor that should at
least help in determining your
favor toward advertisers.
They come to you frankly
with their message and at the
very least the latter is worth
your reading.
