ROOSEVELT HE LAY LOW.
Not Saying Much at Present Over
 Third Term Talk,

| Washington, D. C., March l1.--- I It Is considered of the greatest sig.
 nihcance that while the presidents
 friends are talking about him as a
 candidate for third term he is
 saving wood and saying nothing
 Many of them talk to him about it,
 and it Is of still greater significance that he does not swat the talk on i the head in his usual vigorous way,
 He does refrain from saying any thing openly that might be taken
 as direct permission to go forward
 with the third term talk. but there
 Is the best of authority for saying
 that he has not put his foot hard down on the exuberant talk and the
 plans laid down for his consideration. J Some of those who still have con fdence in the presidents intention
 to refuse another nomination, declare | that the president is letting all this
 go on with a definite purpose in view. 1 They declare that the purpose is not the specialization of sentiment for l his own nomination, as Is charged. l but that he wants the public to get on to the fact that there is danger
 of reactionary getting the nomina- tion. In this class he is said to rank Fairbanks. Foraker and Shaw, although he is not so positive as to Fairbanks, who may surprise the public later on by frank statement of his attitude toward the control of corporations.
 It is the western people who are insistent on the third term idea and not the republicans of the east, who do not take kindly to it. If the president is nominated it will be be- cause the west sets up such a howl for him that the republicans of the east and middle west will be frighten- ed into submission.
 One thing has cropped out that Is of importance. It is that the Roosevelt boomers who have talked
 with him leave the white house pro- claiming that Roosevelt's nomination and election again would not be a third term. It would be Roosevelt's second term. It Is understood to be the plan of the boomers to try to reorganize the third term expres-
 sion and get the people into the
 habit of calling it Roosevelt's second term. This, of course, is to avoid the sentiment against third term for any president, the claim being put forth that Roosevelt has had but one term of his own.

STUDY OF FROGS.
Appropriation of $5O,OOO Discussed
 by Members of Congress.

Washington, D. O., March H. Congress recently sat emphatically and firmly on an infant industry. The stand-pat machine slipped cog and 1t was all over. Before the "stand-patters" could recover their breath the infant industry was as dead as Julius Caesar.
 Consideration was beicg given by the agricultural committee of the house to an appropriation of $50, 900 for the biological survey of the agri- cultural department. Representative Lamb of Virginia, who is of an in- quiring turn of mind, wanted to know what particular line of work the biological laboratory was survey ing. ..
 Well, just now" replied some member of the committee, "it is mak- ing investigations preliminary to the establishment of a new industry. It is studying frogs-the fellows with bulging, black and yellow eyes and with voices like a steamboat's siren. It is desired to ascertain infinitely how best they may be raised, what kind of water they prefer and in what part of the country they are most prolific"
 'It strikes me that $50,000 a year is lot of money to determine such facts" suggested Mir Lamb. ''It cer- tainly will not require any such sum as that to propagate frogs and study their habits, even if 1t be desirable to obtain that information. Who cares, anyway, whether frogs will thrive on modern. breakfast food or prefer to live in their own way and forage for themselves?" Did you ever eat frogs legs?" inquired Representative Brooks. "They are great delicacy and are served in all the fashionable restau- rants."
 "Oh, nobody eats frogs but French men," interjected South Trimble. of Kentucky. And they wouldn't eat them If their taste was not perverted. Why. a Frenchman doesn't know good whisky when he tastes it. which Is mighty seldom. The government ought not to cater to man who prefers absinthe to Bourbon. If Frenchmen want frogs. let 'em pay for 'em. The government isn't in the delicatessen business"
 "The raising of frogs has become an important young industry" said Representative Brooks.
 "Yes. that's true" put in Chair man Wadsworth. five eaten frogs and they are mighty good"
 "If you told that in your district" l" sarcastically remarked Representa- tive Field, of Texas. tits little won- der you were defeated for re-elec- tion."
 "why. frogs legs are recognized article of international commerce" l" said Representative Hsskins. of Yer mont. Under the Dingley law they have to pay duty of three cents a pound under the dressed poultry schedule"
 Well. I know enough about our Dismal Swamp frogs." put in Repre- sentative Lamb. "to know that they do not need even that much protec- ton. We can raise more frogs down there than the entire country can eat"
 Then the committee went into sol emn conclave and decided with Rep resenfatiye Lamb that the biological investigation of frogs was not nec- cessary and the s5e.0o0 item went out of the bill
 The present legislature seems 10 glory in the extrayagance af past gen. erai assemblies and sanctions such actions by appropriating money to make up deficiences.-Press.

Comfort Bags for Battleship
Georgia.

The following letter explains
itself as it comes fresh from the
sanctum of the president of the
Georgia w. @. T. U. Now this
call, while it is made through the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, does not mean that only
white ribbon women are asked to
send Comfort Bags but that
every woman who wants to assist
is urged to do so and bring their
offering to the local w. c. T. U.
or to the president, Mrs. Mary
Stone, corner of Magnolia and
Longstreet, or leav it at the
Enterprise Office to be delivered
to her. Local pride should cause
us to keep step with the best of
them.
Eastman, Ga, Jan. II. 1907.
Dear Comrade:
Do you think Ga.
w. C. T. u. could furnish COM
fort bags for Batt1eship Georgia,
to be presented on Georgia Day
at Jamestown Exposition-Mrs.
Webb, of Savannah, has written
to headquarters for supplies and
finds that by buying altogether
she can furnish scissors, surgl-
cal appliances, leaflets, testa-
ment and song books all for 80
cents per bag. The bags with
buttons, pins, needles, etc,
which we can get iii any small
town, will cost 80 cents, thus
making 90 cents in all. Of course
l know we cannot afford to fur
nish anythin out of the treasury;
but my idea is to appeal to each
Union to pledge so many bags.
Our friends who are not w. c.
T. U. members will help us I am
sure and I believe if Madame
Kali Yajeina could 10000 made
in Japan, we can get 772 made in
Georgia. Eastman pledges 100.
Miss Davis, our State Supt. is
very much enthused over it and
| will do all can-will send out
letters to individuals who are not
mem bers for a bag, or its equiv
a1ent. Please let me know by
return mail if you approve the
plan. tt.
Sincerely,
Marv Harris Armour.
