Evidently the Washington Pest. in
dependent. is edging around to the
support of Colonel Roosevelt for an
other nomination. Recently under the
above caption it contained this edito-
rial:
The Post has never believed that any
irrepealable unWritten law bars q presi-
dent from a third term. 1t was wise for
the builders Of our governmental struc-
ture to leave the people free to elect
president as many times as they should
see At to do so. And the fact that thus
far the country has had no third term
president, although somewhat significant.
does not begin to prove that nospresident
could or will be accorded that distinction.
1t Is natural that ambitious statesmen
should aspire to the highest honor that is
open to a citizen. Election to third
term would be higher honor than has
been attained by any American, and there
need be no apprehension that 1t will be
obtained by unworthy means. That Pres
ident Roosevelt who does not desire and
declares he will not accept another term.
may be drafted in is possible. His can
didacy would afford test of the alleged
insuperabe prejudice against the third
term. The belief that he would be tri-
umphantly elected is widely prevalent;
but, whatever might be the result, it
would not put up a bar against a third
term or Danish the probability that such
an honor is in store for the right man at
the right time.

Spooner's MiIkman,

There is an ancient proverb to the
effect that mo man is a hero to his
valet" Nevertheless and notwith-
standing man may be hero to his
milkman. Hon. John c. Spooner, who
recently resigned seat in the senate
of the United States. illustrates the
latter proposition. His Washington
milkman is for him for president of
the United States. Wonder what
Messrs. Taft. Cannon. Fairbanks, For
aker, Shaw and other candidates will
think Of that. If Senator Spooner's
milkman happens along with his wag-
on close to the White House, he had
better sing small or he is liable to feel
the weight of the big stick on his
back.

AN EXTRAORDINARY PROPOSE
TION.

At banquet given in Chattanooga,
Tenn, Wednesday night in honor Of
w J. Bryan, the brilliant orator, John
Temple Graves of Georgia, in an adj
dress, doubtless prepared for the occa-
sion, declared that Mr.. Bryan should
nominate Theodore Roosevelt for the
Presidency for third term 1t is need
less to say that this proposition was sur
prising, if not as startling as thunder

sidered seriously and practically it is
the rankest of nonsense. 1t is amazing
TO consider that such a suggestion
should have emanated from one so
prominent III the public eye as Mr.
Graves, and is reminder of Henry w.

years ago, at a banquet in Boston,
Mass, electrified his auditors in his al

Foraker's Defiance.

Senator Joseph Burton Foraker evil
IDENTITY has his war paint on-in fact
he has had it on for. 10, these many
moons. He has boldly flung his de-
fIance into the face of the president
by proposing that in Ohio q primary
election shall be held not only to NOM
mate candidate for United States
senator and state Offices, but also to
Indicate the states choice for presi-
Dental candidate of the Republican
persuasion So Joseph Burton seems to
be in frame of mind to put the mat
ter to the test and win or lose it all
What Colonel Roosevelt thinks of that
doth not yet appear. 1t would be a
queer result of the Roosevelt Foraker
feud if 1t should lead to the nominal
ton of presidential candidates by pri-
mary elections, a more salutary result
than either of those worthless is seek

How Il Grows.

That the English language Is the
richest and most flexible spoken by the
children of men is generally conceded
by philologists and photographers
.Don Juan is the strongest proof of
its fexibility. The tricks which Byron
played with our vernacular in that
poem are simply amazing. The lam
guage still grows both by the addi-
ton of new words and by new uses for
old words. For instance. the st Louis
Gl0be-Democrat has used the word
know as noun. This performance
may seem thing Incredible But it
cannot be denied by any person who
read It's editorial entitled MIR Bur
toms Two Checks In its issue of Mon

toriai occurs this remarkable sentence:

Marcus NJ. Marks. president of the
National Association of Clothiers:
The greater the clothing manufacturing
industry becomes the further will the
modern factory idea be nsely to develop
toward perfection. ANY m Ivenent, there
fore, which tends to increase the market
for our product should receive our en-
enlargement. Al this time. when our fac
tories are taxed to their utmost to sup
ply the local demand. it seems to some
that there Is no occasion to consider ways
and means for opening foreign markets
but others feel that in order TO anticipate
a probable change in the tide of our
Astounding prosperity we should now be-
gin to study the wants of our nearest
foreign neghbors both north and south;
that we should urge upon our government
the necessity of reciprocity treaties that
will enable us to reap a substantial ad-
vantage and at the same time give other
countries the benefit of our exceptional
skill in clothing manufacturing, which. 1t
will be conceded. has not even been ap-
preached by any other people on the face
of the earth. The present infiexble tariff
on clothing, averaging about So per cent,
stands seriously in our way.

Madison made Monroe secretary of

Colonel Roosevelt may succeed in
