THE EVOLUTION OF DREAtxFAsr.

THE EVOLUTION OF BREAKFAST. q
3 II we are to believe the .epicures VINO
have investigated the matter, the pres
,ent tendency toward light breakfasts
is distinctly atavistic. It appears rnat
THE hearty breakfast which is still
somewhat OF an American institution,
Is comparatively modern affair, while
the frugal and light breakfast is, fairly
prehistoric. 1t is q matter OF grave doubt
whether or not our ancestors in the
palaeollthic and neolithlc ages break
fasted-if they did not, perhaps we may
so explain their savage tendency to
lambaste one another Withsthe granite
prlmeval Men wnof nave not break
tasted are usually ia i from ami able.
a correspondent Of the Boston Herald
points out that the Roman morning
meal consisted of a grape or two. a
few rasns. date,{an olive and some
cereal that closely rescmbled our mod
fern hardtack, These simple and nat
.ural ingredients SUGGESTING menu up
on whichour Eden-dwelling forefathers
must have suhsisted. In the ma ter OF
the morning meal, the Romans showed
the iomeric simplicity Of the Greeks

ADMIRE HIM; BUT DON'T TRUST
HIM.


HIM.
General Bob Wynne. United States
Consul General in London during the
Roosevelt Administration. has returned
to his old home In Washington to
spend the Christmas holidays. Since
his retirement from the Consular SER
vice he has been representing several
American firms in London, and he
brings with him much interesting in
formation touching the condition Of
affairs in England.
In that country, Mr.. Wynne is re-
ported to have said: Roosevelt is re-
garded as the greatest man in Amer
lea: but "EngIishmen are not putting
much money into American invest
ments. They have made up their
minds that there Will be more or less
of uncertainty in the United States for
at least year" Queer isn't It, how
the colonel's pernicious activity on
this side has affected the Investing
spirit onthe other, Just as It has mad
our own capitalists very shy.

Is placed upon the power

Limitation Is placed upon the power
Of the people to elect.
Nevertheless, In the long campaign
that has been waged, no defender OF
tho proposed amendments has ever
suggested that the limitation upon the
tenure Of the Governor Is q deprivation
OF popular rights, an undemocratic
Limitation, provision which ought to
be amended No amendment to this
provision has been offered
n 'Why7 sSs,i IL ss
Because there is no off1ce-ho1d ers'
trust to demand such change. Be-
cause the newspapers which advocate
the proposed amendments know that
they can work up no popular sympathy
by yelling: taking away the
rights OF the peopleH in connection
with repeating the provision limiting
the Governor to one term. Because
tho defenders OF such a repeal, be they
individuals or newspapers, know that
they could not curry favor with
any one act as successful ena-S
gogues with any one in put
ting UP plea for unlimited tenure
for the Governor. Because those who
are saying that ut makes no difference
to the people what happens, do not
dare to say that in this connection ]: Be- E7t'
cause those who have been Defend
ing the proposed amendments know
that they. cannot meet the principle ae'
and the analogy laid down in the
parallel case.
The Norfolk Landmark well says in
this connections:
"In our opinion there would be more
reason to relieve the Governors OF the
constitutional barrier to re-electlon
lin Virginia than to change the pres
3ent limitations which the Constitution
puts upon the service Of the treas
urers and commissioners of revenue.
But there are hundreds Of the latter
officers, while there is only one Gov
ernor; and the Governor isn't paid by
fees.
The emagogues who are saying that
commissioners and treasurers ought
to be elected by the people indefinitely
and as often as desired, do not follow
the principle to its logical conclusion
and advise the indefinite tenure Of the
Governor.
II the Governor must have but one
term, why is it wrong to say that
commissioners of the revenue shall,
when elected by the people, have
but one term. and treasurers, two?8
What is the difference?
The same limitation placed on the
lesser officers of the State is placed
on the chief officer of Virginia, its
Governor Vote to let these limita-
lions remain. It is better to limit
power than to leave 1t unrestrained.

Our candidate" for President APP
pears to have fallen on evil days. The
Democrats OF Nebraska smashed him
at the polls on the local option ques-
tion, and the managers OF the party
have declined his offer to speak In the
campaign. The story Is that he will
hire his own halls and speak anyhow,
and we have no doubt that he viii

a great deal OF difference between
being the oracle OF the party and
simply a voice for himself. Yet that
he will come back we have not the

the combinations effected by unions and

labor unions must buy. Wonder what
he really thinks about the protective
