Taft has won solid delegation
from Florida, and unless all signs
fail he will have solid delegations
from every southern state. This
will give him a big start in the
race for the nomination. Teddy's
friends make big noise like their
chief but they do not get away
with the bacon.

THE COUNTY BUDGET

In the budget as printed else
where, there are two mistakes. In
the copy, furnished this office the
general county fund is given as
So, 900 when it should be $50. O0C
and the emergency fund Of $40, 900
with interest is omitted. These
corrections make the total Of the
budget $273,590, instead of $685.
$50 as given in the commissioners
proceedings.
That the expenses of the county
are increasing rapidly is shown by
comparison of the 1912 budget
with that of 1908. In 1908, the
budget called for an expenditure
Of SAG, $50 for all county purposes
while for this year $273,59O, or
$126,800 more than in 1908, is
required to run the county.
Consi derable of this increase is
accounted for by the. principal and
interest tn be paid on bonds issued
by the county to build the new
court house and by several school
districts to build new school
houses. The remainder of the
increase is caused by the heavy
increase in criminal business,
building roads and the general
development of tie county.
Last year the budget footed up
S181, 500, or $92.0 900 less than this
year. While this seems to be a
big increase for one year, it must
be remembered that the emergency
fund of $4,000 is legacy from
last year. 1t NAV seem to some
that there has been a waste of
public money by the commission
ers, but we do not think such is
the case The county is growing
rapidly and it costs money to build
roads, prosecute criminals. pay

THE THIRD:TERM STORY


all the members of the house of
representative get busy. Nothing
came of the passing agitation. 1t
may be, however, that PROPOSE
ton against a third term for
presidents will get serious con-
sideration during the present
session. The news report indicates
that several house republicans are
willing to vote for it.
There is a great body of liter
ature dealing with this subject.
Much of it came to the public's
attention in 1880, when it was
proposed to nominate Grant TO. a
third term. At the end of his
second term Grant was succeeded
by Hayes, who was declared sue
cessful at the result of the election
ir 1876.
Several presidents are on record.
Washington's farewell address
declared against third term. In
fact, Washington was strongly in
favor of only one term anu he so
declared before he was urged to
serve two terms. Jefferson said:
General Washington set the
example of voluntary retirement
after eight years. I shall follow,
it, and few more precedents will
oppose the obstacle of habit to any
one WIN shall endeavor to extend
his term"
After he had been four years in
retirement Jefferson was urged to
be candidate for a third term
and he refused. Madison, Monroe
and jackson were two-term presi-
dents but there was no revival of
third-term talk until Grants time.
While he was serving his second
term there was considerable, talk
about a third consecutive term,
but there were earnest pronounce
ments against the plan in some
republican gatherings.
About that time the house of
representatives. by a vote of 233
to Is. passed a resolution in
emphatic declaration against a
third term. The democrats then
controlled the house, but of eighty
eight republicans seventy voted
for this resolution. But there was
d turning to Cant four years later
with much popular support of tho
proposition that the four interyen-
ing years made a difference.
The memorable fight of 1880 in
the Chicago convention followed.
The Grant forces were admirably
organized and brilliantly led,
Roscoe Conkling being conspicuous
in leadership. On the first ballot
Grant had 904 votes; on the thirty
sixth final ballot, he had the
famous 306. Garfield was noni-
mated. In the ensuing campaign
Grant and Conkling unquestion-
ably saved New York and the
election for Garfield. Very soon
after his Inauguration Garfield
treated Conkling contemptuously.
Conkling resigned his senatorship
and, to his amazement failed of
reelection. Garfield was assassi-
mated but his taking-ofi had
nothing to do with the ConklinR
trouble.
Mckinley was the first two-term
president after Grant. Directly
after his election to his second
term there was informal talk about
third term for him. Major
Mckinley stopped it summarily. He
said: 81 not only am not and will
not be candidate for third
term, but l would not accept
nomination were it tende, ed me-"
Upon the death of President Nc
Kinley, Vice-President Roosevelt
became president in 1901. He

president in 1904.

has every right to be worried.

Reading In Sum mer.

Several publishers optimistically
argue that summer fiction" is be-
coming a weakened tradition. In
most lines of business there is more
leisure for books in the summer.
For reading nature books, travel,
and much of historical interest,
the months of journeying and out
door life are most appropriate; and
there appears to be sense in the
argument that a good many brains
work as we'll with the thermometer
above seventy-fve as below thirty
two. Possibly the publicity men
who lately have begun to collect
some of these arguments against
complete Generalization of the
reading public during the hot spell
were most to blame in the first
place for establishing the tradition
that the Tired Business Man and
the Languid Lady should peruse
nothing in July and August but
feeble novels! Male readers GER
tainly should shoulder as much of
the odium for accepting the tradi-
ton as the Summer Girl. O.
Henry once went on record that:
Women do not read the love
stories in the magazines. They
read the poker-game stories and
the recipes for cucumber lotion.
The love stories are read by fat
cigar drummers and little ten-year-
old girls"
Women have a superior outlook
for future summer reading seasons

college women are reading better

IF Governor Marshall ever occupied

ciares an admirer. Mrs. Marshall
would have It a real home. People
would feel comfortable even In the
midst of the gold and glitter"
But 1t Is not only as a wife and the
mistress Of home that Mrs Marshall
shows her ability. She is a politician
and a clever one. She also has a re-
markable memory.
Governor Marshall has earned the
reputation of being In a class Of story
tellers all by himself. He can remem-
Der stories, but he forgets names. A
name Is something to be cast aside
with Governor Marshall, and this Is
one Of the regrets of his life. II he has
any regrets. The governor is not a
worrying man. he is somewhat IA
talist, but II he could he would like
to remember names; but, not having
that ability. he does not worry, for Mrs
Marshall Is the new rememberer of the
family.
She has a peculiar ability along this
line. Not only does she remember
the last name, but any combination Of
names comes as second nature to her.
and she carries this ability on down to
the children and cousins Of any one
seeking the governor.
While the governor is shaking hands
and trying to remember whether his
caller is Jones or Smith. Mrs. Marshall
is busy supplying the information and
asking about all the relatives.
Ideal Partners.
Governor Marshall has no brothers or
sisters, and his parents being dead
leaves him somewhat barren Of rela-
tives.
Governor Marshall's friends are en-
thusiastic over his home life. When
he has started on talking of his wife
a new light In the Hoosier executive
comes to the surface.
They come near being ideal married
partners.
