PROSPERITY IS PREDICTED Pressing of Federal, State, County and Municipal Works Advised. Wilson Rated Among Great , Men in American History. PHILADELPHIA. March 17. Speaker Clark, addressing the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick here tonight, eulogized Pres. ldent Wilson "as among the great Pres idents whose names can be counted on the fingers of one hand." "It Is no exaggeration to say that he bears a heavier load than any President Elncie Lincoln has borne." the Speaker said. Speaker Clark reviewed at length the work of the ljemocratic Congress, which, he said, had been accompliuhed with the aid and approval of Repub lican and Progressive votes, and pre dicted that no political party could carry 10 states on the repeal of the in come tax. He declared the country was apidly recovering from the depression of the European war and to speed pros perity urged that all Federal, state, county and municipal works be pressed. Trcaldent Bears Heavy Load. "The Congress has done its work," he said. "Senators and Representatives have returned to their homes. The President remains in Washington be cause of the ticklish situation in which we find ourselves by reason of the trans-Atlantic war and the Mexican civil war. It is no exaggeration to say that he bears a heavier load than any President since Lincoln has borne. No man. no men. can relieve him of his burden. His troubles, being purely ex ecutive in character, are his and his- alone. In the very nature of things he knows more what is going on abroad than docs any other man in America, because he has better means of informa tion. "Every good citizen, without ref erence to politics or religion, should trust him and uphold him in this crisis of our country's fate. May God Sive him the wisdom, courage and strength to keep us out of entangle ments with foreign nations and lead us in the paths of peace. Redemption of t'ledgeft Promised. The Baltimore platform contained a multitude of promises. N e nave re deemed many of them. While neither a nronhct nor the son cf a propnet. make bold to predict that in the next two years we will redeem the re mainder. Rome was not built rh a day. but nevertheless Rome was built. There is a limit to the power of men to labor montally or physically. Two years were not enough time in which to place our extensive and patriotic programme upon the statute books, though the 63d Congress sat more days and enacted more constructive legis lation than any other that ever met. I have not even the shadow of a doubt that the historian of our times will pronounce it a great congress. We have fought a good tight. We have kept the faith. The people will in dorse and reward us. "The brilliant Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. declared that contemporaneous foreign opinion as to a public man is identical with the final verdict of history. Most assuredly, then. Woodrow Wilson will be rated among the 'great Presidents whose names can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Shoe w on Other FiKtt. "For more than a half century Re publicans have "pointed with pride' and Democrats have 'viewed with alarm.' Now the boot is on the other foot. At the present juncture Democrats "point with prii and. alack. Republicans view with alarm. They were fore ordained and predestined to dwell in the cave of Adullum. "These complainants divide them selves into two classes first, those who. with coimtenanrcs sorrowful as that of the Knight De la Mancha. but with glee in their souls and hope in their hearts, vociferate, purely for po litical effect, that the country is going to "the demnition bow-wows." In their case the wish is father to the thought. The second class, suffering from the mulagrubs. is much larger, consisting of honest, hut timid, persons, forever seeing ghosts, who in fat years look forward fearfully to possible lean years and who are greatly worried by the lamentations of the Cassandras and marplots aforementioned. These two classes keep up a howl tliat the coun try is going to the dogs and scare people out of their nits, thereby re tarding progress.'' NEWLY-ELECTED PRESIDENT WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. iv ' V i-4f "if 3 SHIPS TORPEDOED LINES MUST AGREE TO JOIN Kail Coiiinilr-sion Demands Clause in Contracts for Crossings. SALEM. Or.. March 1 7. (Special.) Notice has been served by the State Railroad Commission on all railroads in Oregon that henceforth when con tracts between two roads relative to one line crossing the . other's right of way are' made they must contain a clause providing for physical connec tion between the lines, if the Com mission believes that such should be done. The Commission notified the North Bank road that it would not approve A contract between the Oregon Elec tric. United Railways and Portland, Eugene Eastern relative to the cross ing at the intersection- of Front and Jefferson streets. Portland, because it fails to provide that if the companies were required by the commission connect their tracks, the order would be obeyed. In its communication the commissio ' says: "Whenever contracts between differ ent lines are submitted for approval of the Commission It will be necessary that they shall provide for physical connection for the interchange of traf fic, if .required so to do by the Com mission or other duly authorized authority: 'no contract not carrying this provision will be approved here after."

(Spe cial.) Whether State Auditor Clausen and Deputy Pedersen, of the State Bu reau of Inspection, who left yesterday on a trip to the San Francisco and San Diego expositions, as authorized by the Legislature, will be compelled to foot the bills themselves or not will be de cided by Governor Lister during their absence. The $600 for the California trip is to come out of a $12,000 apropriatlon mado by the Legislature for its own expenses, which Governor Lister has not yet approved and which he may' de cide to veto, on the ground that the $105,000 originally appropriated should have been sufficient. Before Mr. Clausen left for Califor nia Governor Lister called upon him to give full information concerning the uses to which the $12,000 was to be put. This information was not furnished by Mr. Clausen to the extent desired by the Governor, who, however, is pursu ing his investigation as to the need for the adidtional $12,000, securing in formation from Secretary Daljam, of the Senate, and Chief Clerk Maybury, of the House. Already some $438 has been paid from the special appropriation not yet signed and many other claims are be ing held up.
