Figure on Ambassador.

Business man, economist or glad
handler?
German authorities mulled over
those three classes today in consid-
ering possibilities for the next Ger
man ambassador to the United
States. High hopes were expressed
that peace between the two nations
will be declared shortly after the
new American administration begins
to function. Germany wants to be
ready for an appointment 50 that
relations may he resumed as soon
as possible.
Nations previously resuming ordi-
nary relations with Germany have re-
ceived business men as ambassadors
from the former empire. Berlin has
drawn heavily ON the big concerns
at Bremen and Hamburg for her rep
resentatiyes. One of Uie most COM
monty mentioned names in connec-
tion with the Washington appoint
ment is that of Director General
Heinecken Of the North German
Lloyd Co.
Heineoken resigned from the COM
pany to prepare for the appointment
but later asked that his name not
be considered. Later the foreign of.
flee sought to induce him to recon
sider.
The success Of some German pro
fessors in bringing about good feel
ing in other countries has led to the
suggestions of several names. The
men talked of most frequently are
known to have had pacifist view!
and to have had no connection will

WILSON.
To the. Editor TIE washInrton Bersid.
i have read 30 much about Presi-
dent Wilson and his league OF ma

that his disgruntled political oppo-
nents have taken against him-for
the sole purpose Of feathering. their
own nests and trying to humfliste
him and wipe the Democratic party
on the map-I beg TO submit a few
words in his defense.
He has been opposed by an un-
generous Republican press and a
noncomprehensive Congress and
Senate. the latter having been re-
ferred to by some overzealous en-
thGsiast as q lot OF misguided. an
tiQuated nonentities."

No one knows. except Mr.. Wilson

A Double Conundrum.

Mr.: Tumulty refused judgeship at $4,000 a
year. He did not care to give all of his valuable
time for so meager sum- But not being ayerse
to adding to what he could himself earn, some
recognition of the great service he has rendered the
country during the past eight years, he began
looking around.
Tosearch was to find. A place on the Interna-
tional Boundary Commission has been considered
a sinecure pre-erninently suited for ducks with
limp. requiring only the sacrifice of enough time
to draw fhe salary of $500. Mr.. Tumulty sighed

Qanp Clark.

No man can have finer quality of character
than that of complete loyalty expressed in terms
OF moral integrity. 1t was this character which
distinguished Champ Clark 1t was this which
made him beloved and gave him personal inhu-
ence rarely equalled by men in public life.
1t was but American that he was born to the
rank of plain people on farm, taught school, and
gained college degree. In this he was of
untold thousands. Moreover. while his ability and
mental stature were above the average, they were
not such to make him stand out as exceptional.
1t due to qualities of character, not mere
mental force that he elected to Congress for
thirteen consecutive terms and only went down in
the almost universal slaughter of his party at the
last election. In Congress his party did him the
exceptional honor of an unanimous election and
reelection as Speaker.
In 1912 he was the partys majority choice for
President. Although two-third vote is required
to nominate in Democratic national convention, it
was precedent that man who secured majority
vote gained the rest by concession or momentum.
The refusal to follow this in his case due to
Mr.. Bryans relentless opposition, and Mr.. Wilson
was chosen
Mr.. Clarks philosophy of loyalty triumphed
over bitter and unmerted disappointment He
was more than once the defender of the President
and showed himself as to Mr. Bryan, to be above
mere spite vengeance. He sometimes lapsed in
Judgment but never in those higher qualities of
character.
He leaves only kindly memories. For him
there will be abiding affection and sorrowing
among his fellow members of Congress without par
tsan distinction. For him in the hearts of all who
knew him, is the best monument any man can have
to perpetuate his memory.

WATERWAYS MADE IDLE,
DECLARES LOUrsIANAN.

Legislation that will prevent the
reduction of rates by railroads for
the purpose Of meeting competition
Of water transportation is advocated
by Clifford R. Moultrie. Of Shreve-
port, La, who declares the railroads
have practically rendered idle the
great waterways Of. the nation.
The railroads have lowered their
rates until shipping lines were
driven out, and then when they
found they had an unobstructed
field, up went the rates again"
Moultrie declared yesterday at the
New willard,
ITO a very great extent boats
have disappeared from the inland
waterways of the nation" said
Moultrie, and as far as water
borne commerce Is concerned. many
of these routes have been aban-
doned. At the same time the rail-
road rates have been advanced.
I'm Louisiana. for example, rail
rates have recently been advanced
from IS to 500 per cent on commod-
titles necessary to every business and
every household. This is character
istic of the action of the railroads
throughout the nation in sections
where water transportation FORM
erly compelled the railroads to lower
their rates in order to meet compe-
tition and to retain traffic which
otherwise would have been carried
by boat"
