will be no regret over the retirement
of Justice SEiras from the supreme

his mind over night on the income tax

who was fond of lark, suggested to
his brother comedian to sally out and
call upon certain mutual acquaint-

at receiving visitors in such garb.
Br0ugh at once assented, and, popping
on their battered hats, out into the
street the pair slipped and made for

THE THIRD TERM ISSUE.

In the midsummer of 1902, more than
two years from the next Presidential
election, we, the people, find ourselves
again confronted with a thirdlerm
question, although not exactly the old
friend who was supposed to have been
finally and forever disposed of in a
the summer of 1880, when "Old Apo
mattox" was denied third nomination
to the chief magistracy of the United
States. 1t is a Republican newspaper,
the San Francisco Chronicle, still agile
but not frisky, that dares assume the
responsibility of springing this ques-
ton on the country at a time when
moving accidents by flood and field'
and an infinite variety Of other calam-
tiles, following in rapid succession, are
tugging at the public's almost paral-
yZed ear.
1t is not Grover Cleveland and 1904
in connection with whom the Chronicle
drags this ancient topic forth into the
garish light. Strangely enough, it is
the present incumbent Of the Pres
idential office, statesman who has
never yet been nominated for or
elected to that position. The Chron-
icle vaults over the intervening years
and boldly insists that it is not too
early to begin to discuss the question
of the possible election of President
Roosevelt in November, 1908.
Supposing President Roosevelt to
have been nominated and elected in
1904 and to have lived and served his
country faithfully until 1908, the ques-
tion of his denomination for another
term would be an entirely new question.
He would be the first of the Vice Presi-
dents succeeding to an unfinished
Presidential term to be elected Presi-
dent. Under the unwritten law that
forbids a third term, would the un-
expired term which he is now serving
count? If so, would it count il Presi-
dent Mckinley had lived one year, two
years or three years longer? And If
'yes," would it count if Mr.. Roosevelt
had served but a month or a week OF
the second Mckinley term? Where is
the line to be drawn If the anti-third-
term rule is applied to the Vice Presi-
Dental successor to a vacancy in the
Presidential office?
We believe that the unwritten anti
third-term law will never be violated.
One can scarcely imagine any condi-
tions or circumstances under which
political party would risk the expert
ment of third term nomination of a
man who had twice served as Presi-
dent. even though, as in the case of
General Grant, years had elapsed be-
tween the second term and the pro-
posed third nomination. But it must
be conceded that the third-term ques-
tion raised by our San Francisco con-
temporary is not the old one. AS
that paper remarks; "The question is

'The trouble with you fellows is

and carry home a lot of truck that n
European4 collector wouldn't give
house room, and when you see a really
good thing you don't know it, or you
won't pay a price for it unless some
dealer makes you. You see, you don't
know; that's what's the matter; how
can you? Nobody in America wanted
antiques before the Centennial. If
yoa'd lived here twenty years, like me,
you'd learn something, you'd find out
that collecting isn't thing of money,
but knowing"
We had been walking in Venice
down narrow calle while the collect
or was speaking. Look at that old
lrass scale" he resumed, pointing to a
fish stall in the little outdoor market
on which we had just emerged
There's a gem, not very old, but of
the finest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in a New York

good deal for it; but you'd "a passed
it by dozen times if | hadn't spoken
about it. See that old junk stand over
there? l never pass thing like that
You can never tell what you may PICK

We had scarcely reached the stand
when the collector thrust out his hand
with the swiftness of hawk darting
on its prey, and swooped upon a little
jewel box.
"Carnelian! Russian, l should say,
from the Ural mountains. It's not of
great value. but it's pretty little
thing, if it was cleaned up. It's mine,
To the keeper of the stall:
"Quanto"
The Venetian slowly uncoiled him

steps, where he had been sleeping.
Does the signore want the pretty
trif1e? The signore knows its value
better than |, and he'll be generous"
'I'll give you Ira for it. 1t isn't

the collector. That's what it is to

would you?"
While speaking he held the box with
a miser's clutch.

He reluctantly handed it to me as

den dash down the calle with his treas

"Phew!' said l contemptuously
the box back to him. ITS not

Medicinal ISes of Salt.

Salt is one of the greatest of natural
remedies and antiseptics. A weak so
lution-an even teaspoonful in glass
Of water, cold or hot-is excellent for
indigestion. A solution of about the
same strength will often relieve a cold
in the head if snuffed up through the
nose,
Severe pains in the bowels are often
relieved by the application of bag of

TYNE TO MARRy.

The chancellor of the University OF
Nebraska, E. Benjamin Andrews, is a
man of great learning, and enjoys j
national reputation. He was for many
years the head of Brown University, in
Rhode Island, one of the leading educa-
tlonal institutions in New England, and
was dismissed from that eminent posi-
tion by the influence of the Rockefel-
lers and other rich men because he ad-
hered to the principles of the Chicago
platform of 1896.
Professor Andrews, in an address &C.
E""red week ago to the students and
fri nds Of the University of Chicago,
Tlade weighty utterance in regard to
bachelors of either sex, whom he de-
nounced as moral degenerates, -
lacking in mental and physical
poise." Many bachelors, he would con-
cede, are trying hard to marry, but are
unable to do so, from want of income
or from inability to get the consent Of
the other party. With these he has
no fault to find, so long as they perse-
we're in their efforts to wed, but his
quarrel is with selfish, f1irtatious, apa-
thetic or cold-blooded youths ana
maidens who steel their hearts to Gu
pid's missiles, substituting some other
object in life for that of happy fam
lily.

| learned chancellor, that man anG
woman Should marry. The world was
made for the family, and not for the
individual. The unmarried individual
of marriageable age has no place in
society nor in the scheme of the uni

the individual to realize the intention
of Providence" and take his proper
place 'in the scheme of the universe"
at the earliest practicable moment. In
other words, the mateless man must &C

to matrimonial business till they are
married. 1t may be a novelty in this
frivolous age to hear the conjugal yoke
spoken of as obligatory, but that is just
what it is, and DR.. Andrews is positive
that those who deliberately shirll the
married state do SO because they are
moral degenerates. If they do nOl
form legal ties, he observes, they form
others less commendable, and tne
world wants no irregular connections.
Marriage" it is cogently added, lis
good thing. The great men and
women of the world-the ones whose
lives were symmetrical and whose
works were best for posterity-have
been married"
Nothing great is achieved by a life
of slothful ease. It is the strenuous
man who wins, and nothing is so we'll
calculated as married life to make a
man strenuous. To no man comes the
fruition of all the virtues equally with
him who lovingly carries to and fro the

President Roosevelt and his Attorney
General are only making very cheap
campaign material by their alleged
contention with the beef trust. They
are simply fighting sham men and

on the books of the nation, the man
ayers of the beef trust and other sim
liar colossal mergers will laugh at the

were in earnest, which they are not
That is, they will laugh and jeer when
no one is looking, and Mr.. Roosevelt

and signed by the President will put

nature, and that is to repeal the tariff
on all trust products.

ROOSEVELT ON THE STUMP. 4.

President Roosevelt has begun a
stumping tour, and if his plans do not
miscarry he will make a more elab-
crate Swing around the circle than
any President since Andrew Johnson.
1t is stated in Washington dispatches
that such members of the cabinet as
are capable of making speeches have
! been ordered by their strenuous chief
to prepare to appeal to the voters
during the ensuing Congressional cam
paign.
This is an interesting departure from
conventional custom, and people will
be apt to take different views regard
ing its wisdom and propriety., The
Chicago Chronicle, conservative Dem
ocratic newspaper, approves of the
Presidents idea. The approval of our
Chicago contemporary is not inspired
altogether by the belief that such a
course on the part of the administra-
ton will be productive of Democratic
victory. The Chronicle is one of the
very few Democratic papers that he
lieVe it entirely fit and proper for the
President and cabinet ministers to so
out among the people when campaigns
are on. The Chronicle says this used
to be the unvarying practice of heads
OF departments at Washington, and It
had many good points. And our con-
temporary further remarks that it was
not until the civil service reform move
ment was carried far beyond its nat
ural or wise limitations that the Gus
tom was abandoned.
Without any particular reference to
the action of the President. or to what
the members of the cabinet may or NAV
net do, but treating the subject in a
general way, The Citizen submits that
there are few questions as to which the
people-the voting citizens of all par
ties-are more sensitive than thev are
upon that Of interference in State
elections by the federal administration
The United States has no voters. The
national government in it's personnel
and politicah complexion, is the product
of State elections. In recent wears
there has been a growing feeling that
the people of the States should be left
to decide between policies and candi-
dates, uninfluenced by the interference
of the President and his cabinet Off
cials. We do not assert that there are
no arguments on the other side. There
is some force in these remarks of tn ;
Chicago Chronicle:
Members of the cabinet are supposed
to be in harmony with the President.
and to be either the authors or the
agents of his various policies. AS 10
one is better equipped than they to ad-
vance and defend these policies, and
as they as we'll as the President must
stand or fall as they shall receive or
fail to receive public approval, it is
highly proper that they should appear
before the people in their own behalf.
Giving due weight to all that, it still
remains fact that the average voter. |
be he Democrat, Republican, Pop
ulist or member of any other of the
various parties, is more likely to re-
sent than to be favorably impressed
by an administration on the stump.

one which has never yet confronted
the American people in a practical
shape, but it is coming, and is not re-
mote, in all human probability. A
cool discussion of it now might obviate
a too hot discussion of it later on"
1t is certainly remote enough for the
coolest consideration. And when one
recalls the trouble the Republican
party experienced over the original
third-term question, the previousness
of the Chronicle seems excusable.
