The President and the Third Term.
President Roosevelt can go out of office

measure Of public approval. He will have
been successful. not only in having two
terms of the presidency, but he will have
carried four Republican Congresses with
him, a political feat of no small conse-

general-in-commandf of the field the
greater will be his risk of eventual defeat.

1t would be untrue and unfair to say that the CONNER
|cal classes >, are in a conspiracy to overthrow the Admins
tration. Outside of the circles already specified the business
men of the counry-farmers, mechanics, manufacturers, bankers
and professional men, especially in the West, are standing
solidly with the President.
But the Trusts, Corporations and individuals who have
grievances against President Roosevelt are waiting and hoping
for, and helping along a depression in the labor market o n the
assumption that the sufferers, forgetful of the incontestabe facts,
will put the blame on President Roosevelt and repudiate his
Administration. That, of course. would be followed by a re-
vival of government by Wall Street and its allied interests,
who would, as in the good old times, select the Presidential
candidates of both parties, thus insuring comfort and prosperity
for themselves, no matter which side won. j. M.

afraid to strike "The World knows what has brought on

tempt to lay the blame at President Roosevelts door. There
is no secret about the causes which have led up to the present
conditions because experts like Congressman Charles N. Fowler
have been warning the country for at least ten years of what
would happen if~we did not provide a more flexible currency.
The country's business has outgrown its circulating medium.
'Coincident with the realization of this fact came the knowledge
of reckless speculation and get -quickrich methods in connection
with a few New York banks. That had the effect of making
'imid people distustful and by boarding their money they are

As to what was done, or thought, or asserted i'll Benton
time we are not greatly concerned now. What we do know is
that President Roosevelt has incurred the bitter enniy of a
combination of powerful interests. For instance
All the adulteraters of the country are opposed TO the
President because of his advocacy of the Pure Food act.
The Beef Barons and affiliated interests are frankly hostile
because of the Meat Inspection law.
Standard Oil Company in all its various guises is using its
influence, its agents and its machinery to discredit the President
because he has authorized its prosecution for wanton violation
of the law.
Hartman and all the Wall Street manipulators of railroads
and other stocks hold the President responsible for the termina

WHEREFORE OF THE ANTLRoosRvELT ANAMUs.

The New York World quotes conspicuously a few chap
tiers from Theodore Roosevelts Life of Thomas H. Benton .
The tenor of them may be inferred from these excerpts:
"Panics were certain to occur more Or less often in SO
speculative and venturesome a mercantile community, where
there was such needless trust in the future and recklessness in
the use of credit But the Government, by its actions, i'm
mensey increased the severity of this particular panic and be-
came the prime factor in precipitating its advent.
" Benton tried to throW the blame mainly on the bankers
and politicians, who, he alleged, had formed an alliance for the
overthrow of the administration, but he made the plea more
halfhearted1y than usual, and probably in his secret soul ac-
knowledged its puerlity. j < x
Benton and others pretended to believe that the panic was
the result of a deep-laid plot on the part of the rich classes,
who controlled the banks, to excite popular hostility against the
Democracy on, account of the caste antagonism
which these same richer classes were supposed to feel toward
the much-vaunted party of the people, and as Benton's mental
was singularly warped in regard to some subjects, it is
possible that the belief was not altogether a pretense.

The directors, managers, associates and dependents of those
interests are angry with President Roosevelt for the reasons
stated, and they are just as angry with the masses of the peo-
pie for supporting the President in his policies. 1t is common
talk in all these anti Roosevelt circles that what the people
need to teach them a lesson is a dose of hard times" And
Nf they can deal out the medicine without having to take any
of it themselves they won't hesitate one thousandth part of a
second. So far as lies within their power they are helping
along the movement to restrict the output of shops and factories
in order to create idleness and precipitate a shortage in the
necessares of life among the working people. Their task is
made easier because of the financial stingency and the difficulty
of getting money, even at high rates of interest, TO carry on
business.

ment for rubbish and nonsense" said
Mr.. H. Bratnober. at the Arlington,
according to the Washington Post.
Alaska is one of the richest parts
of creation in the precious metals. and
that is all it is fit for. The Lord
never intended it for a farming coun.
try, but Gov. Brady has for years, in
the indulgence of a hobby, been send
ing out reports of the wonderful
farming possibilities of the territory,
simply because he manages to reap
a few radishes and cabbages in his
garden. The truth is that a very
few of the hardest vegetables can
be produced in some special spot that
gets an unusual degree of sunshine,
but this is about the limit.
Il have been in Alaska for several
years, and at the risk of mourning the
governors i'll will, am here to say that
people who SO to Alaska in the hope
of raising crops are on the highest sort
of a FOOLS errand. Last summer
away up on the Copper river, met
three honest farmers, who had been
induced to sell their places in Indiana
and go to that desolate region with
a view of cultivating the soil. They
planted ton of seed, but never grain
came up, and when l saw them they
were heartsick over their failure. 1t
is shame to send out such delusivs
reports. Alaska is all right as min

wealth has been taken out, but man
wants to go there exclusively for
mining or to view its beautiful

scoURGE OF THE AMAZON.
Dread Mosquitoes Render People
Along the Great River Miser-
able at All Times.

1t is not a pleasure to live in the wild
regions along the banks of the River
Amazon. The Indians of that region
all suffer martyrdom from the mos
quitoes. Nobody in even the worst
mosquito regions of the United States
can imagine what the mosquitoes Of
the Amazon region are like. They
actually drive the Indians, hardened
as they are, from their villages at
times. The people drag their women
and children into woods and uplands
on such occasions, fleeing in headlong
terror, and they do not venture back
to their homes until daylight.
Smudges and other similar means
for fighting the pest are of no use IN
the Amazon country when the mosqui-
toes sally forth for a might out. =
They appear then in such hordes that
the masses force themselves through
smoke and even fire.

Curious Justice.

Justice in the British possessions on
the west coast of Africa is peculiar at
times. A writer in a London publication
tells the story of couple of officials
Brown and Jones-who one night were
cycling home from the club without
lights and we're bounced upon by a zeal
GUS policeman. Summoned before the
district commissioner court, they found
themselves the only persons competent
to try the case. So Brown sat upon Jones
and fined him five shillings. adding a
few remarks as to the danger of neglect
ing a salutary regulation. Then Jones
assembled the bench, smarting, and, hav-
ing addressed Brown in terms that
would have fitted murderer, said that
he was determined to put stop to such
pernicious practices and imposed fine
of ten shillings.

WAS CURED BY LAUGHING
Patient In an Insane Asylum Had
Reason Restored by a Good
Hearty Laugh.

Some time ago patient in an insane
asylum was suffering from extreme
melancholia. lie did not laugh or
smile. Lay after day he sat or walked
with en- expression Of settled melan-
choly on his face. Months passed with
out bringing any change in his con-
dition. Finally his physician resolved
to try a new form OF treatment-the
laugh-cure. lie employed a large,
ioYial, hearty man to come to the pa
tents door every day and laugh.
What peals the visitor sent ringing
through the whole establishment, OF
deep, melodious, side-shaking laugh
ter, so joyous, hearty and infectious
that everyone who heard was COM
PEELED to Join it! But the melancholy
sufferer looked al the laughing man
with the same deep immovable gloom
upon his face. One day, while the
laughter was convulsing everyone in
his vicinity, the patient suddenly
stopped pacing his room and burst into
a hearty laugh The effect was mag
ical. The light Of reason shone once
more in his face. He looked around in
a dazed way and asked: Where am
I? What is this placer" The black
clouds of gloom had been dispersed.
The melancholia had departed. The
man was in his right mind again.
Laughter had done for him what the
physicians, the drugs and all the
treatment at the asylum had failed
to do.

work OF SPRING
Term HAS BEEN
STARTED
Registration Not as Large as
Last Term, But More Than
Any Other.

Enrollments for the spring term are
now almost completed at the univer-
sity. Although the spring attendance
does not measure up to that of the
winter term by perhaps hundred, it
is still in excess of the attendance of
any former spring term.
Despite the penalty for delay in reg
istratdon, many persist in arriving late.
1t also requires time for some stu
dents to get up momentum sufficient
to carry them through the work of a
spring term, but once more in motion
there will be steady progress until the
short term Of eleven weeks is at an
end.
Among the chief events of the week
at the university has been the with
drawal of President Merrifield's resig-
nation, though this was not brought
about until great pressure had been
brought to bear upon him from all
sides.
The university board of trustees has
also been in session at the university
during the last few days and has
passed upon considerable important
business, which has already, in greater
part, been made public.
