 His election to the Spe akcrship oi the House came in the 62n1 Con erees, prior to the Baltimore con vcntion, and it was by united Democracy in recognition of the contest MT. Clark had made against the rule Of Speaker Josarh Cannon MT. Clark had served in every Con gress since and including the 53rd in 1893 except the 54th when he yfas beaten.
 Mir. Clark's sincerity, friendship for opponents and adheronts alike, his fairness as a presiding officer and his knowledge of history, his love of clean, anecdotes and humor ous stories, and his mIrvelously retentive memory ranked with his attributes of leadership. He welded U minority into virtual Demo- cratic unit when he was minority leader, and after the busting of Cannon, which robbed the speaker Crip of many of it's powers, he di- vided with majority leader Under wood the control of the Democrats in the House and they formed 9 great working team.
 Physically he was giant of a llan, standing over six feet two inches in height and weighing a trife more than 200 pounds.

 Although Champ Clark was Known as a Missourian he was born in Anderson, Ky, on March 8, 1850. He was christened James Beau champ Clark, but early in life he educed this to Champ Clark His first work was as a farm hand, clerk ir a general store, and on a county newspaper.
 He was educated at Kentucky University and Bethany College, and t. c Cincinnati Law School. For a short time he was president of Mar sI all College, and, at 22, held the record of being the youngest college president in the United States. In 1875 he moved to Missouri where he took up the study and practice of law, and became prosecuting attor- ney in Pike County His next stcD was into the Missouri Legislature where he framed the Missouri Pri- mary Law, an antitrust statute. and an Australian ballot law He was permanent chairman of the Democratic National Convection at St. Louis in 1904 and headed the committee that notified Alton B. parker's of his Presidential nom iHation.
 He was first sent to the national forum in 1893 Although then re- garded as green his strength in U c House developed rapidly. When John Sharp William5 left the House for the Senate, Representative Clark vas made minority leader by vir- tue of his seniority on the Ways end Means Committee which drafted t.e Payne-Aldrich tariff act His service on that committee in trying to keep duties down won him the regard of the Democrats and his sy cech of five hours against the bill was one of the notable addresses cf that Congress.

The Airplane Fall in West Virginia
While the precise circumstances of
the wreck of the Army bombing plane
in West Virginia. in which four of the
crew of five were killed and one was
desperately injured. may never be
known, it Is clear that in some degree
the mishap was due to the extremely

was driven. There are practically no

to alight would be in the greatest din

miles before finding a clear. fiat space.
During the war the airplanes were

Save for the roughness Of the ground
caused by the military operations
themselves, there was no lack Of safe
starting and landing spaces. In the
Vosges, In the Argonne and a few
other areas the airplanes had to make
long flights to reach safe stopping
points. Back Of the lines were the

Rulers and Travel.

Upon returning home from his jour
ney abroad. Crown Prince Hirohite
said in an address issued to the people
Of Japan:
81 confess there are number OF
things which we have yet to learn
from the countries l visited. 1t Is my
ardent wish that the whole nation viii.
apply itself with redoubied energy to
the promotion Of national prosperity
by adopting whatever Is good that
foreign countries possess"
This journey took the ruler that is
to be through those countries in Eu
rope with which his country was in
alliance during the world war, and Will
have intimate relations now that the
war is over. He saw them in a dis
turbed state, but putting forward their
best energies because Of the fact. He
was Hospitality received everywhere
and undoubtedly saw much that i'm
pressed him favorably.
We did not have the pleasure of see
ing him in this country. but his re-
ception, in point Of cordiality. would
have been in keeping with his Euro
pean receptions. And he would have
seen here much that would have i'm
pressed him favorably.
The emperor and the King Of Eng
land have the same notion about their
heirs. They want them well qualified
by travel and observation for their
duties when ruling time comes. Sc
they send them abroad to make the ac
quaintance Of men in authority else
where, and to take notes Of the Gus
toms and processes Of the peoples they
visit. That both have benefited by
their travels is a safe belief. They
have seen with the eyes Of youth and
eagerness, and therefore with muet
appreciation.

courts and bride paths.
The significance Of this general use
of the recreational facilities afforded
the Washington public is a happy one
1t lies not in the fact that from the
lists Of those participating may de.
velop a future Bill Tilden. or Norman
Ross or Jim Barnes or Walter John
son Though such may well be the
case). but in the fact that each Of the
tens of thousands Of boys and girls
men and women, who have sought
exercise and relaxation in one or an.
other Of the indicated sports, has
gained physical stamina and health
thereby. These days in which we live
are overfilled with intense concentra'
tion upon business success. Life. gen
orally speaking. tends to become toe
stern and exacting a proposition. That
so many Washingtonians avail them
selves of opportunities for those hours
Of outdoor recreation growing more
and more essential If men and women
are to stand up under the strain OF
modern living, augurs excellently for
the future.
The numbers Of those who would
participate in the various indicated
sports steadily increases. Col. Sher
rill, in his report, emphasizes the fact
that even under the most efficient
management Of the funds available for
the maintenance Of the recreational
projects, 1.-The appropriations have

Fusion, or the Tiger?

Several strange features mark the
mayoralty campaign now opening in
Greater New York. One is the atti-
tude OF certain independents who.
while expressing desire for Tam
many's defeat, are at the same time
expressing the opinion that Tammany
will win.
They concede that Tammany is un-
worthy; that the interests Of the city
would be best served by a transfer.
ence to other hands: that the office of
mayor is Of great importance, second
only to the presidency Of the United
States; that the whole Hylan outfit
should be scrapped; that in fusion
alone is hope. And yet they declare
that in the fusion proposed hope is
lacking.
Why? Right there they are obscure.
Henry Curran, the probable fusion
candidate, is all right-clean, and a
lover Of clean government. But is he
big enough for the job? They fear
not. and express their fear. And the
fusion he is to lead? They fear that
Is a sham which would break down in
action. Particulars? Not given. Fill
out the indictment to suit yourself.
Tammany likes this. 1t does not
care about the lambasting the inde-
pendents administer. 1t is used to the
exercise Of rhetoric at its expense, and
rather enjoys the experience. All it
asks is the number of votes on election
day necessary to control. and here are
men doing their little bit toward mus
tering that number in November.
The nominations will soon be made.
and then everybody goes into action.
The campaign proper will cover only
few weeks, but in that time the big
town will be stirred throughout its
length, breadth and thickness. Fusion,
or the tiger? What says the metrop-
oils, which has tried both. and ought
to be able to render judgment.

The Borland Law.

A movement has been started by the
Federation of Citizens Associations tc
secure the repeal of the Borland law
under which the cost Of street i'm
provements is assessed against the
owners Of abutting property. Commits
sioner Rudolph heartily approves thi.
proposal, which will be laid before
Congress at the coming session as the
demand Of the people Of the District.
The Borland law was calculated tt
check the street improvements. though
its proponents believed that it would
facilitate them. 1t put damper upon
the initiative Of property owners in
all parts Of the city in the matter OF
proposing and urging street better
ments. While the taxpayers Of the
city have always been glad to con
tribute through the general fund tc
the cost Of street improvements, they
. have not felt free to urge them when
the greatest part Of the burden fell di
rectly upon themselves. Consequently
the law has worked out to a conflict Of
interests. The residents Of one street
were perfectly willing and anxious
: that the nearby streets should be i'm
proved, but not their own.
In perfect equity the streets OF the
city should be considered as provided
for the benefit of all residents Of every
section. In these days Of easy trans
portation by motor it is quite as i'm
portant for dweller upon 9Th street
east that 18th street west should be
kept In good order as that Sth street
itself should be we'll maintained. And
every urban resident is interested in
the provision Of good pavements in
every suburban section. On no other
basis than that of regarding all streets
as provided for the benefit of all mem
bers of the community can the city or
the District be properly developed and
maintained.
The Borland law makes for uneven
street improvements. 1t makes for in
equality Of taxation. It is. in effect. a
system of double taxation, inasmuch
as the owner Of property on a stree,
to be chosen for improvement pays
his share Of the direct Improvement
tax and also his share Of the indirect
tax to make up the Districts per
centage.
The fact that the Borland law has
remained on the statute books for a
number Of years does not warrant
further acquiescence. And to the OBJ
lection that this Is not an opportune
time to seek its repeal it may be urged
that the time for the correction Of an
injustice is never inopportune. The
Federation Of Citizens Associations
will have the full support Of the com
munity in this movement.

In the Same Boat,

Secretary Davis Labor day message
was none the less welcome. and should
prove none the less effective, for being
in familiar key.
We are all in the same boat. We
have a great country and a great op
portunity. We face great necessity
We have never experienced greater
general depression.
Our duty lies plainly before US. As
a nation of workers we must work
All we have accomplished has been by
work, and if we are to continue tC
progress we must continue to work.
And we must work as team. Nc
other kind Of work will avail much
The general welfare must inspire our
efforts. The spirit Of comradeship is
the true spirit of the emergency.
We are all workers, each after his
kind and equipment. The man who
plans is no less a worker than the
man who executes. The one Is neces
sary to the other. Each. therefore
should understand. appreciate and as
sist the other. Crosspurposes bring
everything to the ground.
All this is trite enough. 1t has been
said a thousand times. And yet, said
at this time, it has value if only to
show that in our restlessness and con
fusion we are disregarding familiar
truths which should guide US.
Ours is not a government Of, by and
for class, but of. by and for all. When
il is given a twist from that design it
fails of its true object. and in some
way and measure everybody suffers.

That Washingtonians appreciate in

Of the Army. The bathing beach was

iron and niblick pursued the elusive

The Presidents Leadership.

The Presidents rest periods, al
though brief, are well taken, well de-
served and should help materially to
keep him physically fit. His card is
crowded these days.
Consider a few Of the items: The
unemployment problem. He is expect
ed to give the cue to the conference
soon to take place in this town on that
subject.
The conference for the limitation of
ornaments. Meeting day Is only two
months away. All the world is inter
ested. But all the world Is not informed
as to the purpose Of the meeting. At
home here there is much misapprehen-
sion. The President has taken the mat
ter in hand. The proposition Is not to
disarm, but limit future arming. The
question is economic. not millenniahs-
tic. The President does not expect.
and does not want anybody else to
expect, perfect peace forever more
from the day Of the conferences ad-
journment.
The situation on Capitol Hill when
Congress re,assembles. 1t will be TAR
from satisfactory. The tariff, taxation,
transportation are in the air. The diff
ficulties they present have yet to be
solved, and Congress is looking to the
President for assistance in its task.
And there are many other items
which the President must keep in
mind and advise about. His Is a very
real leadership, and must be in evil
dence all the time, and particularly at
times when controversy creates warm
factionism and the voice of the har-
monizer is needed In the land.
