Roosevelt and the Third Term.

1t was sheer nonsense to regard the
Chicago convention as dominated for
his own purpose by the strong hand of
a single man. Mr.. Roosevelt's domi-
nance has merely meant the intelligent
and voluntary support of his leadership
by countless thousands Of men whose
opinions and aims he has tried to rep
resent rather than to dictate. He is
by nature didactic, and he is a great
preacher Of social ethics and political
progress, as well as a statesman and
leader Of decision and power. The self
control and the firm judgment that led
him to reject a denomination and effect
ually to prevent it show strength Of
character seldom equaled in the annals
of political history. He is young,
strong, without dsheartenment, and
with no sense of fatigue or of growing
distaste for the great burdens of his
office The denomination would have
been his inevitably if he had not made
sure that it would go to some one else.
Not only did he show great frmness
and poise of character in his renuncia.
ton, but the convention itself showed
a high quality of self control that may
justly be regarded by thoughtful men
of all parties as another reassuring ev-
idence Of our American capacity for
seif-government 1t was the belief of
the convention that Mr. Roosevelt
could carry every state that he carried
in 1904, and probably several southern
states in addition. Every delegation
on the floor of that convention had rea-
sons Of greater or Of less strength for
desiring an assured Republican success
by sweeping majorities, rather than a
good fighting chance without certainty
of victory Yet the convention reso-
lutely took Mr. Roosevelt at his word
and proceeded to nominate Mr.. Taft in
a spirit Of great good will There was
no law or rule Of any kind against nom
mating Mr.. Roosevelt; and in the face
Of concrete conditions a mere custom
or theory MS to a third term seems to
lose weight and substance. Philosophic-
al and broad-minded observers like
Ambassadors Bryce and Jusseraud,
sitting on the platform through the
convention and watching its proceed
ings carefully, were deeply impressed
with the strength it showed in holding
itself steadfastly to its program and in
refusing to Yield to its latent impulses. !

"Unele Ike" Shows Signs Of Insineerity
Senator Stephenson "a title acquired,

and that he will stand rorre-elcction.
There may be a few reasons why Mr..
Stephenson should be returned TO the

some why he should not, In the FIRST
place did he not declare that he would
not ask q reelection if chosen TO fll
out the unexpired term of Senator
Spoonor? He simply wanted the honor
to "round out his career, as the eN-
preston goes. With such a declaration
still ringing in the ears Of the citizens
Of the state, it appeals to them as a
genuine display Of insincerity for him
to enter the field at this time, or else
as a display Of doltishuess, either OF

their muzzle velocity are only half
of those of the guns in the I2-inCh
barbettes. The real Dreadnoughts
have big guns all of the same
calibre, which could be brought
into action at the same moment,
whereas the Japanese secondary
battery could be used only at a
much closer range than the four
big guns.
The two p, ooo-tou battleships
which Japan is building at home,
and the third which is under con-
struction on the Clyde, are also
not Dreadnought. Each will have
a secondary battery of ten eight
iuch guns mounted i'll pairs. 1t is
declared, however, that the main
armament will consist of no less
than twelve I2-inch guns. If that
is 50 they would suffer from
"storms' as badly as the British
Dreadnoughts, but they would
have secondary battery to fall
back uDon.
1t IS a curious fact that the
Dreadnought's gunners never suf-
tered from the discharge of the
guns i'll their own barbettes. The
shock from which they suffered
was caused by heavy simultaneous
firing Of guns in other positions.
Apart from the shock problem,
Japan's insistenCe on a secondary
battery is causing much comment.
But taken together with the stories
of the effect of firing on the Dread
nOu3ht's crew, it has the effect of
raising the very momentous Ques-
ton: Is the Dreadnought the
irresistible monster she is boosted
to be, or is she an over-armed, un-
workable type, which will be re-
jeCted by the navies of the future?

SAL WATER CURE PROVES
REMEDY OF ANCIENTS
Paris Physician Using 0Id-New Pre-
sCription With Successful results.
SOME OF THE GREATEST CURES.
Methods OF Hippocrates and PIiney
Revived in the ''PIaSma de
QuintOn.

The assertion that the ancients
knew more about medicine than
the best modern physicians is bril-
liantly confirmed by the salt
water cure" discovered by a youhg
French scientist, NJ. Rene Ouin-
ton, who is proving that some of
the most serious ailments can be
rapidly cured by the mere injec-
ton into the blood OF ordinary
sea water.
BY merely going back to Hippo
crates and Pliny, NJ. Quinton is
today curing diseases hitherto
practically incurable,
Paris has now two dispensaries
where "piqures' Of sea-water are
administered. Nearly all skin
diseases, infantiIe ailments, and
various forms of consumption are
amenable to the treatment.
The "plasma de Yuinton, " as
it is called, is merely very pure
sea-water taken at Arcachon some
forty feet below the surface, where
the water is absolutely clear. The
water, already free from sediment
and organic matter is sterilized
and used for injection under the
skin. Last April 26S injections
were made, in IS per cent of the
cases cure Immediately followed
the first injection; in 70 per cent
cure followed after the sixth mice
ton.
Gastro-enteritis, which carries
off 10000 French children every
year, is easily cured by the
"piqure,
Children admitted into the dis
pensary i'll the Rue dQuesant in
the last stages of pulmonary tuber-
culosis have shown improvement
after the first injection. Some Of
these children were living skele-
tons, weighing less than at birth
and unable to retain any food.
The first injection gave them
healthy appetite, and the improve
ment continued with each success
sive "pique.
Sea-water injection has no pain
full reaction, and in addition to
curing specific diseases, leaves the
human organism healthier and
brisker than before. Each piqure
costs only ten cents.
French ladies' of high birth are
promoting the cure. Among them
is the MareChan Macmahon, the
Comtesse de la Rochefoucauld,
and a score of the best names in
France, who nurses the patients
themselves.
The. fundamental idea of the sea
water cure is that salt water is the
basis of all organic life. All or
ganisms existed originally in the
sea, and blood is itself nothing but
a modified sea water.
A human being, says NJ. Quin-
ton, is "a veritable marine saquar-
lum, and one-fourth of his total
weight consists of blood serum
which is in essence notirg but the
sea water in which his ancestors
the monera and amoebae lived.
More than a million injections
of "plasma de Quinton" have been
administered in France during the
last four years. The cures num-
Der thousands, and there is no rec
orded case of a patients disease
being aggravated by the treat
ment
