Garrison, who piloted the torpedo

The fastest time was made between
Baton Rouge and Bayou Sars, La,
when the boat recorded slightly more
than 81 miles an hour. The distance
from Memphis to Helena, 100 miles,

DO NOT WANT A CHANGE.


People Are willing to continus tie
Present tAdusinistration.
The constitution of the United States
requires an election for President and
Vice President every four years. The
provision is mandatory and cannot be
escaped. Under it the people are called
upon to vote for President and Vice
President every fourth year without re-
gard to politics, the record, or the work
of the administration in power. The cleo
tion must be held whether d change Is
desirable or not.
There is rea son to believe that a large
majority of the American people do not
desire a change in the national adminis-
tration at the present time, and that II
1t were a matter of choice with them no
election would be held this year. A na-
tional election always interferes with
business more or less. and as the business
of the country grows the feeling increases
that, In the absence of any reason for
a change. a presidential election is dis
turbing factor that might well be dis
pensed with IL the constitution permit
ted. That in the situation at present.
The great mass of the people are no
well satisfied with the present admins
tration that they do not desire change.
and il the constitution did not require an
election to be held they would regard 1t
as unnecessary.
Who wants change? Not the farm
ers. for they never were more prosper
Gus or better satisfied than they are at
present. Not the business men. for busi-
ness Is satisfactory. Not manufacturers.
for American manufacturers are outstrip-
ping those Of all other countries. Not
waSe-earners, for there are more men
employed at good wages to-day than ever
before in the history of the country. Not
railroad men. for the transportation busi-
ness has grown enormously during the
last few years and still gives promise of
future growth. In short. no large class
Of oui varied population can be named
bur has good reason to desire q con-
tinnance of present conditions. If 1t
were not for the constitutional require
merit the people would have preferred
that no election took place this year.
The only exceptions are the Democrat
ic party leaders and those unfortunate
people who have not the sense TO let
well enough alone.
