Is ONE TERM ENOUGH?

twenty-five terms. am much obliged
to him. but one is quite enough for
me. All the philosophy Psi teaches
will enable me to get through one, but
the contemplation of one term more,
let alone twenty-five, is more than I
can stand" The president was smiling
as he spoke. The occasion was infor-
NAL. The president did good deal OF
joking before he finished his talk.
Maybe he was joking when he said,
Zone term is enough for me-" Maybe
| he meant it.
1t is not difficult to foresee circum-
stances in which President Taft would
not care to be a candidate for reelec.
tion. There is active opposition to him
within his party. The purpose of this
opposition, as the president can clearly
see, is to make a failure OF his admins

nomination of another candidate BY

A GOOD deal of suspicion has found
that the last federal census
did not give Elk Point its full emu
meration and this is doubtless correct.
The responsibility uoes not rest en-
tireiy with the enumerator. He is
paid two and one half cents apiece for
each individual enumerated, wLich is
fair pay perhaps If he could find every
body at home and secure oy one call all
the facts required. But the fact OF the
matter is he is obliged TO make dozen
calls and possibly travel several miles
before he rounds up some OF the
straggleis. La these cases he is paid
two and halt cents for doing several
dollars worth of work Right here
however, Is where work needs to be
done If any city is to be fully enumer
ated. 10 some cities the commercial
clubs and even the board OF aldermen
have organized assistance for the emu
merator in the closing days OF his work
Would it not be better to do something
OF this kind here at once, rather thar
find fault with the emu merator for tn,
next ten years?

sT|R5 SENSATION
AMONG EGYPTIANS
Despite Warnings, Roosevelt
Scathingly Denounces Assassi-
nation of Premier Ghali.

Cairo. March 2s.-Ex-Prcsident
Rooseveit's outspoken warning to the
NationaIists in his speech TO-DAY be-
fore the Egyptian University mas Gre
ated a great sensation. 1t is reported
that determined efforts were made to
dissuade him from referring to the
assassination OF the Premier. Boutros
Pacha Ghali and the political situa-
ton. but Colonel Roosevelt delivered
a scatlIing denunciation of the assas-
sin. and as strongly condemned those
who would condone such an act.
Some apprehension is felt at the
possible attitude Of the resentful Ma
tionalist party. and the authorities
are exercising extraordinary vigilance
and are prepared to take extreme
measures # any manifestation occurs
against Colonel Roosevelt.
Referring to the assassination Of
Premier Boutros Pacha Ghali. Mr.
Roosevelt said;
All good men, all men of every ma
tion whose respect is worth having,
were inexpressibly shocked by the
assassination of Boutros Pacha Ghali.
1t was a greater calamity to Egypt
than wrong to the Individual him
self
The type of man that turns assassin
is the type possessing all the qualities
which ALLEVIATE him from good citizens:
he Is the type producing poor soldiers
in time of war and worse citizens in
time of peace. Such man stands on
the pinnacle of evil and infamy. Those
apologizing for or condonins this act,
by word or deed. directly or indirectly,
encouraging such an act in advance
or defending 1T afterward, occupy the
same bad eminence. 1t is of no con-
sequence whether the assassin is Mos
lem or Christian, or with no creed. or
whether the crime was committed in
political strife or industrial warfare.
The rich mans hired act, performed by
a poor man, whether committed with
the pretense of preserving or of OBJ
tanning liberty, is equally abhorrent
in the eyes of all decent men, and in
the long run equally damaging to
every cause the assassin processes

attracted pleasure-seekers from the

which afforded entrance and exit was
nailed up to prevent the admittance Of
scores who clamored outside.
While the dancing was in full swing
pine branch caught fire and fell to
the floor. 1t blazed furiously. and al
most instantly the dresses of several
of the women burst into flames, which
spread with astonishing rapidity. A
dreadful panic ensued, the rsvelers
losing their heads completely. Many
of them. with flames shooting out from
their garments, rushed towards the
barred exit. where surging mass was
lanrned together. Women and mon
fell and were tramplcd under foot.
