jority in the House. OF course, the
matter would be submitted to the
states in the shape of constitutional
amendment for ratification.
1t is said that the Progressives are
divided on the question. That is nat
ural, for their leader would be en-
tirely excluded from being candi-
date and Roosevelt. If he lives, will
surely bob up in 1916. Senator Borah
is against the one term amendment
and delivered a speech against it at
the last session. Recently he said in
an interview:
This proposition has no virtue in
it that can see. A six year term is
too long for an incompetent president
and not long enough for a competent
executive. No matter how able man
may be he is largely an experiment
when he goes into office. After he has
served term of four years we have
the record before us and know how
to appreciate his worth. If he has
done we'll he is entitled to another
term. If he fails to measure up to
the requirements the people have
their remedy at the end of his term.
l have heard no argument advanced
in behalf of the one term idea that
convinces me that it should he incor-
porated in the Constitution. There
fore shall continue my fight against
the pending resolution"
Nobody favors third term. Strictly
speaking, Roosevelt was not seeking
third term, but he had already sery-
ed seven years in the White House
and had declared 1t was equivalent to
a second term. He said he would not
be candidate again and vouched for
the competency of William H. Taft as
his successor and forced him to be the
nominee of the Republican party. It
Is needless to say how badly he treat
ed Taft. He not only fought him to
fragile but defeated the party that
had honored himself so highly. After
the wreck and ruin wrought by him,
ne cannot reasonably expect to ever
enter the White House again as
president Of the United States. In
conclusion, We may add that Presi-
dent-elect Wilson has never referred
to the one term inserted by BRYAN in
the platform. and it is not likely that
ne has bothered himself about it. He
may be tired Of his job before 1916
comes around.

Woman suffrage came up in The
BRUSH parliament in connection with
the Home Rule bill for Ireland. Mr..
Snowden moved an amendment that
the franchise for the Irish House of
Commons should extend to women. It
was opposed by John e. Redmond and
defeated by majority of 173. Some
of the Irish members favor female suf
trage and some do not. and Redmond
said the object of the amendment. was
to wreck the bill by creating a d.
vision among the Nationalists Bet
ter let the Irish people attend to il

in the bay OF Manila and got ac-
quainted with the natives, that the
Filipinos were more competent to gov
ern themselves than the Cubans, and
those who know both races think
Dewey was right
The biggest blunder ever committed
by the United States was to take over
the Philippine Islands against the con-
sent OF the inhabitants. 1t makes no
difference whether they were capable
or incapable of governing themselves.
We went to war with Spain ostensibly
to free the Cubans but in reality to
avenge the blowing up OF the Maine.
The F'ilipinos We're fighting for indie
pendence when our warships reached
the Orient and they took for granted
that we were going to liberate them.
They soon discovered their mistake.
Spain was unwilling O cede the is
lands to the United States, but did
not hesitate to cede Porto Rico. To
avoid renewal Of hostilities this re-
public gave Spain s2O,O0O,OOO and that
money was thrown away. Many more
millions have been thrown away dur
ing the past fourteen years and what
have We got in return for being a
world power and initiating monarchial
countries in governing their colonies
against the consent of the colonists?
What we have lost financially is but
we have lost in prestige. We
tralnpled on the basic principles of
our own government to follow the ex-
ample of royal despots who have never
subscribed to the doctrine that call
men are created equal" and entitled
to life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
ciple that cannot be maintained with
safety to the American republic. 1t
is the very principle that the brave
little nations of the Balkans are fight
ing the Turks for, and the very prin-
ciple that the founders Of. this repub-
lie fought and bled for during seven
long weary years from Bunker Hill to
yorktown.
Now that the party of plutocracy
has been rejected by the people, the
Filipinos are justified in expecting
proper treatment from the party of
Jefferson, the immortal author of the
declaration of the rights of men and
nations.
The trainers of our government new
er intended that the great American
republic should undertake to govern
any race of men thousands of miles
beyond the confines of this continent
and govern them against their con-
sent to enrich few syndicates which
are not satisfied to prey on American
citizens, but must go to the Orient to
increase their wealth under the pro-
lection Of American soldiers. It is a
state of things of which Americans
should be ashamed. What benefit are
the Philippine Islands to this country?
We hope and trust that the Demo-
cratic party as soon as possible will
extricate this country from the posi-
ton into which it was plunged by ra-
pacious exploiters who controlled the
Republican party from the days of
Mckinley down to the days Of Taft.
The government of colonies is foreign
to our republic and belong exclusively
to monarchies.
The Filipinos, Porto Ricans and
other people over whom the American
flag floats in triumph are entitled to
self-government at our hands, espe-
cially when We derive no benefit from
them financially, commercially or 9TH
erwise.

Smith of Auburn has been doing con-
siderable WORK in quiet way Of late
in regard To the enforcement of the
laws relating te oleomargarine. He
has found in q number of cases that
merchants sell oeomargarine taken
from the original packages. without
properly marking it. In these cases
50 far as he can learn, the violation
of the law has not been intentional
so he has made no prosecutions, but
has called the attention Of the deal
ers to the penalty provided for sell
ing oleonargarine. not properly
marked.
He has also found restaurant keep
ers lax about posting signs in cases
where they serve oleomargarine 10
their customers. \ number of them
have oeen warned by him and are
now a great deal more particular
about displaying the required signs.
