OPPOSES THIRD-TERM TALK.
Texas Republican Paper Thinks IL
Aids Presidents Enemies.

Fr5m ths Fl Paso Herald.
About the best way by which the op-
ponents Of President Roosevelt can thwart
MS plans for carrying out through the
next few years the progressive policies
for which he stands sponsor Is 10 keep
hammering away on the third-term
ideas. It Is all right for legislatures and
political gatherings to indorse specified
policies and declare wish for the con-
tinuity Of administration in principle and
spirit. but it VIII do no good 10 shout
for a third term for Roosevelt. He
would not have it under any eireum-
stances, even if the convention should
demand his acceptance.
The idea of a third term for Roosevelt
should be given up absolutely and care
taken to pick out the best man for the
race. 1t is going TO be a curious mix-up.
II is not to be denied that the great bust
ness interests North and East seek relief
from Roosevelt But they certainly can
not find IL in the Democratic party. for In
1903 the most radical wing Of the party
will control the Democracy. At the same
time. the desire among the business IN

itself in the choice OF an altogether toe
reactionary man by the Republican con-
vention, resulting in the loss Of vast
popular vote which might thus be trans
ferred to the Democracy.
Roosevelt has finally scratched his Own
name off the slate, and there is no sense
in talking of renominating him, however
much the majority Of the people OF this
country would like 10 see him returned
for another four years. His policies IN
general have resulted in much excellent
constructive legislation and his faults are
not in his principles His principles are
sound, and must be upheld Hence the
/ Republicans of every State must be get
ting ready 10 thwart any design for plac-
ing ia nomination a man not substantially
in accord with ROosevelt's principles.

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Col. Howe Advised 10 Proceed
Against Her Rather Than Cadets.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Col Howe, the superintendent Of the
United State Military Academy. has or
dered a military court to try seventeen
cadets who are charged with wrapping
their martial cloaks abount seventeen
young women to protect them from the
cold blasts that blew Gro Nest way while
they were watching retreat parade
The colonel is making only one mis-
take He ought to eourt-msrtisl the
young women. Through the years that
have fed since the first boy shCuldered
a musket at the Point the cadets have
been the action Of women's-young wom-
en's-Wiles. The young soldiers have
walked thousands of extra guard tours;
have passed months in the close COnhne-
ment Of quarters; have taken demerit
marks that appear in the report books
IN battalion formation-and all for the
petticoated tyrants who line the parade
plain at the time OF the sunset gun.
The bell button that is missing from
the dress coat, and whose absence when
the cadet falls IN for inspection. brings
ten days close confinement 10 quarters,
Is sure 10 be dangling from a bracelet
on the arm Of an owner who sits out
under the elms. The button is changed
thirty times IN "A season. for such is the
way Of the West Point girl
The cadet who gets "skinned" that's
that academy slang for it-for being late
AT a formation is sure TO have been lin
gering until after first call had sounded
IN the incoming district OF Filtration walk.
The girls are guilty. And what comes of
ali the cadet sacrifice and the cadet suf-
fering? The girls marry New Workers
who had stocks, bonds, and stopped
shoulders They prefer house on Fifth
avenue 20 a hut in the Philippines
The officers who will try the seventeen
cadet culprits were once cadets them
selves. Therein lies the hope that the
boys won't be hanged.

CHANGES IN DIPLOMACY.
John Bull Now Looked On as sue
cessfuI Diplomatic Villain.

FROM the Springfield hepubhcau-
Fashions in diplomacy change as COM
pletely as fashions in bonnets. Five years
ago the Russian diplomat, according 10 a
certain popular fancy. WAS a demi-god or
devil, always inscruable and intriguing
successfully. Since then the myth has
been shattered. Apparently, John Bull.
whom We sometimes regard as a little
duh, is now coming to hold the part of
the successful diplomatic villain as seen
by continental eyes. The German press
is reported as being in a state Of alarm
lest King Edwards meeting with King
Victor Emmanuel at Gaeta be part of a
deep plot TO wrest Italy from the triple
alliance. Ii must be said that since thu
late Lord Salisbury left the helm Eng
lands conduct of her foreign affairs has
been distinctly ADLER. But as far as the
meeting at Gaeta is concerned the Ger
mans are doubtless indulging in the lux
uTy of needless excitement

WHY Not BaItimore ?

With all possible emphasis, The Wash

mores bid for the Democratic national
Sun of that city. by Gov Warneld, and
by the Maryland press generally.
In our opinion, the selection of Wash
ington's big and progressive neighbor as
the meeting place of the delegates who
are to name the Democratic standard
bearer in the next campaign would be
highly satisfactory to all concerned. Bal
timore is eminently capable of caring for
the crowds which a national convention
always attracts. In that respect IL is as
we'll equipped as any other city in the
country, and much better equipped than
some in which conventions have been
held. 1t is not to be expected that the
Democratic National Committee would
care 10 go farther South, and yet it would
compliment the South as a section were it
10 select Baltimore. Northern Democrats
would hardly object 10 such choice, and
the Middle West has enjoyed too much of
a monopoly in recent years to warrant

Former Gov William Larrabee. Of

railroad question with President Roosevelt,

one man IN the West to bring the trans
pOrtauon companies Ia that section under
State control and regulation. Incidental
