An questions of presidential sue
cession seem to revolve about the per
sonality of President Roosevelt. Dem
ocratic papers assert that he may
name his successor. He has stated
emphatically that he does not wish a
third term, and, no doubt, he does
not; but the very fact that certain
private interests, whose corruption he
has exposed, are determined that a
different type Of man shall succeed
him, has revived the third term talk
and the movement TO force him either
to run himself or give us something
just as good" The Chicago Record
Herald has taken the views of men
from every section, and those who dc
not emphatically declare for a Dem
ocratic president. favor Roosevelt.
Hon. J. c. speigAt, of Mayheld, who
recently returned from a trip in the
far south, said he was surprised to
find how popular the president is
with all parties, and asserted his
opinion that Roosevelt is a million
votes stronger than any other man
in the United states. He has under
taken a great work, and the opposi-
ton of certain sinister elements,
coupled with the despair Of finding a
suitable successor, turns the eyes OF
the people toward him. He is, per-
haps. the greatest president the coun-
try has ever made. The real opposi-
ton to him centers in the third term
precedent. Washington enunciated
his views at time, when the old Re
publican party under Jefferson was
calling washington and Alexander
Hamilton aristocrats and denouncing
them as monarchists. Washington
declined a third term, and he would
have declined the first and second
II he could. How much his third
term declaration was dictated by his
fear OF the absorption of too much
executive power, and how much by
the fact that the jefferson faction
was accusing him of taking too much
salary and other Irregularities and
was tampering with his correspond
ence to learn secrets of his life, we
are left to guess. There are two years
yet in which to develop a president,
but It is interesting to witness the ef-
feet Of the beating surf. Of public
sentiment on the time honored rock
OF presidential precedent.

THE NEWSPAPER AND CULTURE
A writer in the Forum falls in line
with certain other conventional per-
sons who say they think something
because they might be expected to
say it, and expresses the view that
newspaper reading is not conducive
to culture. He apparently deplores
the modern vogue of newspapers.
This pose mas been overworkei.
1t is becoming somewhat tiresome.
Once upon a time II was original and
interesting. Now 1t gives the impress
sion that whoever affects It is en-
deavoring to set himself up as
rarified being sailing about in rari-
fed air on downy clouds, while he
calls to the groundlings of mere
earth to gaze on him and worship.
When II IS not a pose It proelaims its
author an old-fashioned and laggard
weakling, who has not the breadth
of view to grasp the power of the
newspaper as an institution that
makes civilization, and who is so
far behind the times as to be unified
to teach the ideas of the modern gen.
erations how to shoot.
A person OF culture is a person
who is developed. The man WAC is
conversant only with ancient history
is not developed. knowledge of cur
rent history is as necessary for his
development as is familiarity with
past affairs. The cultured man is in
touch with the activities of his own
times. He studies the problems OF his
period; he watches history In the
making; he observes the progress.
the aspirations, the customs and the
habits OF thought of his own gener-
alton. He scrutinlzes the deeds of
the great and the small, for the
great are the leaders In the work of
advancing the world, while the
small are essential factors in tina,
advancement because they are in
the large sense the world. And ne
seizes upon the information OF the
day instantly and digests 1t at once.
for he cannot afford to take the risk
of being led astray in his outlook by
an important omission in his facts
The newspaper-not the fake,
crazy, irresponsible instigator of hys-
terra that masquerades under the
term. but the serious. conscientious
and responsible Journals the pur-
veyor Of current history. Every item
in it has its weight as an index to
the spirit of the age. Every crime,
every political manifestation, every
art record, every financial statement
in its columns plays its part in ena-
bling one to see the course of his
tory and to study the human race
The whole shapes and corrects his
outlook. II equips him for mis- own
work. II moves him forward with
the world. It makes him part Of his
own time. 1t balances and RATIONAL
ICES him. It develops nm. 1t makes
for culture.
The person VINO fails to read the
newspaper Is deficient in culture. His
education is archaic; he is being
Of another age: his information is
meager and unreliable, because 1t
does not include the alterations
made daily in the facts of the past.
No one is more conspicuously def
cient in culture than the poseur the
fossil or the stranded academician
who deplores newspaper reading on
the ground that It is at war with Gull

London, March A. Municipal

fered decisive and Overwhelming
defeat Saturday in the election OF a
new county council.
There are 11S members OF The
London county council The reform

ives or socialists SO, and the labor
ties 3.
In the old council there were SO

called reformers), and 1 independ-

Crushing Blow TO VI. o.
Never in London has there been
such an extreme reversal of the pop
ular will with regard to party or
policy. The progressives have con-
trolled London for IS years. or since
the creation of the county council,
From the outset they have engaged
in constantly broadening policy of
municipal ownership, and, It is this
Ipolicy that formed the sole issue in
the present campaign London mas
now condemned and repudiatej mu-
nicipal ownership in a decision so
emphatic that its revival is deemed
Impossible.
The councils record FOR extrava-
gance, waste, mismanagement, de-
ception by false accounts, and gen.
eral incompetency is perhaps the
worst ever made by public body
whose members were not accused OF
personal dishonesty and corruption.
Englisnmen, however, are the most
patient people on. earth in their
treatment Of public officials and
their Willingness to give any policy
entered upon,a full and fair trial.
Fails After Fair Trial. pa
Municipal ownership, or, In other
words socialism, has had such a
trial in London and 1t mas utterly
failed. That and nothing else whs
the meaning of London's verdict to-
day.
The figures on the popular vote
make the decision even more en-
phatic. They are not quite complete
land so the exact totals cannot yet be
given, but the general proportion is
more than two to one against mu-
nicipal ownership There was an
enormous vote cast. but despite this
the total progressive vote shows a
substantial reduction from three
years ago when only as per cent. of
the enrolled voters went to the
poll.

 Aholishment of Local, state And County
 Licenses.
 MT. Hardwick stated that he knew of one organization which has had Tor some time among its first and funda- mental purposes those of securing a greater allowance of baggage to the members of that organization. and also for the aoolishmentz of all local. State and county licenset for its members This brings. he said. this competition directly home to the country merchant and the small dealer at the crossroads
 The Penalties all One-si
 All of these measures set forth eX- plicitly what is to be required of the carrier. and then name the heavy penal ties against the carrier Tor any viola .
 tion on the part of the carrier. and while these measures seem to state
 that the commercial travellers may ob-
 tain these extraordinary privileges Jun der certain conditions. as. for instance. for purpose of exhibiting their wares to obtain orders. yet there is absolute ly no allusion to any penalties against any passenger whatsoever for viola tion of these laws on his part: and so
 the commercial traveller or anyone else getting the benefit of these extra UlnurY allowances tht our- i' the country, deliver his goods to pur- chasers and no penalty would be m cured. These passengers would thus gain preferential service of passenger train carriage of their baggage and even at lower rates than the State or Alabama has prescribed for freight train service.
 serious Delays fb Passenger Trains VIII Br Caused
 "A tremendously important ob1ec- tion to increasing the allowance of in discriminate baggage. is the fact that n large number of peop', will be sub jected to the train delays on account of handling this large increase Of bag gage to be carried by the commerclal travellers It is a fact that d large percent. of the delays to passenger trains is now caused by the regular station work including the handlin of baggage under the present reSula- tions and if these baggage privileges are enlarged, delays to the trains will certainly be greatly increased. Tt is much better for the commer- cial travellers themselves not to to have the present conditions changed because in increasing the delays tc trains they will fail in that way to make a s many towns in the same period of time as they do now, and the com
 mercial travellers ought to be willing to ship their cases of samples and mer- andise. wares. etc, by freight or py express rather than to insist upon thelr being handled as baggage, under whlch definition they do not appropriately or perhaps even lawfully come.
