The Purpose is to Consider the Future Policy

St. Louis. Mo-, Dec PA conference OF
Middle Of the Road Populists met here
today in response to call issued by 10.
A. Parker, of Kentucky, Chairman OF the
National Committee OF that party. ABOUT
ninety members of the National Commit
tee were present in person or represented
by proxy. Wharton Barker and lgnatlus
Dornelly, candidates for President and
Vice-P President in the recent election,
were not present. Chairman Parker
opened the meeting with short address
in the course of which he said that the
conference was called for the purpose of
considering the future policy of the Mid
die of the Readers who stand for no
COMPROMISE He believed in the divorce
ment from both the old parties and de-
clared that the fight should be carried
forward without any compromise. Mr.
Parker said he had issued the call to rep
resentatives of all branches OF the Popu-
list rarty but that the "Fusionists' had
ignored it entirely.
The members of the conference debates
all of today over the advisability of form
ing a combination of the Social Demo-
cratic and the Union Reform parties. The
tenor of the speeches made by the COM
mitteemen was practically in unanimous
opposition to the plan and in favor OF car
rying on the work of the Populist party
strictly along it's own lines. 1t was de-
cided to issue an address setting forth in
detail the views of the committee.

This change was made after the ca
diets had made an agreement to stop all
forms of exercising.
Colonel Mills read some letters which
he had written to the War Department in
his efforts to abolish hazing at the acad-
envy containing such suggestive words as
brutal treatment of cadets" and ''se-
cret outrages' referring to the encarnp-
ment Of 1899.
In reply TO General Bates Colonel Mills
ectd:
Il don't think that haZing can be erect
ually stamped out as long as human ma
ture remains as it is. Even in colleges
and schools and business centres it is
carried on. For instance the initiation
of a member of the stock exchange is
marked by rough usage of the new conner.
But l think that by vigilance of the au-
thorities at this academy and the CO.
operation of the cadets themselves it can
be kept within such bounds that no in
jury would result.
Il have been unremitting in my en-
deavors," continued Colonel Mills, I'm
trying to secure the assistance Of the
cadets TO this end and / feel that my
efforts have been successful to large
extent"
Referring to the case of Oscar L. Booz

case was in letter | received from the
editor of the Intelligencer of Doylestown,
Pa, in which it said that Booz was dying
from the effects of severe injuries he had
| received in fight at West Point and also
from the effects of having swallowed some
liquid substance.
This letter was dated November 9th,
! 1900. l Immediately investigated the
case and replied to the letter November
2Sth, saying that Oscar l.. BooZ had re-
signed on account of weak eyes, and that
he had received no serious injury in the
| fight mentioned.
Did you ever in any way call Cadet
Booz a liar?" inquired General Clous.
mo, sir. l simply wrote TO the au-
| thorities at Washington the facts which
| l learned through my investigation here

This ended the testimony OF the last
witness and the court adjourned at

New York, Dec. 29.-Writing on THE
President Of the Twentieth Century" for
q copyrighted special issue of the New
York World tomorrow, exPsesident
Cleveland refers to the Presidential ten
ure in these terms:
Thoughtful citizens will more and
more appreciate the objections urged
some mode of electing their Presidents.
The circumstances in which this plan
originated, If ever of controlling import
ance, ought no longer to excuse such
battling confusion of ideas as grows out
Of the proposition that in popular gov
ernment the peoples chief officer and
their most direct representative may be
made The recipient of their trust and the
depository of their power in fragrant OPP
position to the declared popular will.
Strong arguments are from time to
time urged in favor of a change in the
tenure of the Presidential office. These
should challenge serious attention, to the
end that the present constitutional lit
may be removed and more reasona>1sg
and useful one substituted. There has
bec- continual increase IN Federal
legislation of q peremptory character and
related to the immediate AMI routine
necessities of the country aKd so it has
come to pass that of the fo4r sessions of
Congress held during Presidential term
two are so brief as to scaEcely permit the
passage of necessary appropriation bills.
while of the others oneg occurs when the
President is usually Gtrange in his new
office and burdene0 with OPPORTUNITIES
and labors insepar9Ible from change OF
administration, 7fhd the remaining one
encounters during RS continuance the
Interruptions, 9imidity and decentralization
OF PresldenHal and Congressional cam
vass. Ihese conditions suggest the scant
opportunity allowed for the initiation and
adoption on new and important remedial
,sSm during single Presidential
/Another argument of considerable
weight in favor of the change is based
upon the complaint that the business and
other important interests of our people
arc now too frequently disturbed and
disQuieted by the turmoil and heat of
Presidential election. 1t is not amiss to
add that a substantial extension of the
executive tenure would pave the way for
establishing the ineligibility of an incum-
bent to succeed himself-which has long
found favor with a large class of people
as contamination much to be desired
Thus American citizens in the TWEEN
tieth century will be charged with the
duty of securing for themselves the actual
substance OF popular rule by establishing
more direct mode of selecting the PEG
pies Chief Executive in strict accordance
with the peoples will, and by so extending
the tenure of his office, as to enable him
TO better serve his countrymen and more
thoroughly protect and defend all their
interests"
