Everybody in Congress seems to fa- vor it, and President Taft is strongly supporting it.
 It should become part of the con- stitution before 1916, and in this way some good will be gleaned from the disgrace of the ft-Roosevelt episode of the present season.

 oLLEGE training must give man permanent idealism. Too often the
 graduate is inclined to fall Into the line of march. He begins to worry and to lose his attractive gayety and buoyancy Ills habits of thought and study are soon buried beneath the myriad details of business life or nervous pleas ures. He becomes anxious about things that never happen. His anxiety about fu- ture happenings or results takes his mind from present efficiency. He becomes tense and tried and irritable.
 The attitude of composure and self as- surance which for a time he possessed in college is changed to a fearsome, troubled state, the end of which is the sanatorium or something even more baneful I have sometimes thought that for month at least I should like to see the office signs: Do it now.' "This is my busy day" .'Step quickly" replaced by the old scrip tural motto: Tn quietness and confidence shall be your strength"
 How shall our colleges assist American youth to obtain the art of relaxation and and to obtain the ability to relieve the ten sion of the worlzaday world by beneficial and delightful relief from business strain? Such gifts will often be the chief assets of college mans training. Business men, and professional men, too. frequent ly reach middle life with no interest out side their specialties. When business is over, life is a blank.

China's Big Loan

China has not yet secured loan of 100000. The proposed loan is a big one, but perhaps every dol lar of it could be expended to the ben eft of the country.
 Foreign bankers are, however, eau tious. They know China would repay the loan, but they desire to be assured that the money win be honestly ex- pended. They desire to control, to some extent, the expenditure of the big sum. This, however, would put China in the class of Turkey and Egypt, and any such control would take away the supreme sovereignty of the land. China naturally objects to this.
 The truth is, China could, by the practice of patience, soon become her own money lender. It is country of wonderful resources, and if she could stop peculation and grating in the IS provinces, she could avoid all inter- ference on the part of foreign bank CTS and foreign governments. But her troops demand their pay, and many other claims are pressing, and President Yuan and the council seem to think that big loan must be ne- eotiated at the very outset.

Presidential candidates

T do not believe that anyone can say
 with certainty who will head either the republican ticket or the democratic tick et." said Charles F. Weisner of Chicago, T am old enough to have voted in four presidential elections, but I have never
 seen any presidential year where there was so much excitement or so much wrath as there is in the republican party
 now. From reading and from hearing old
 men talk I would conclude that in no campaign of the past was there ever so much bad blood in the republican party
 as there is right now on the eve of the
 national convention.
 T call myself a republican, although
 I once voted the democratic ticket, and
 in case Roosevelt is nominated I will
 either vote the democratic ticket or stay away from the polls. President Taft ought to be nominated, but in case a dark
 horse is chosen standard bearer, Justice
 Hughes will probably be the man.
 Hughes in my opinion would make a
 great candidate and would be well niga invlncible at the polls.
 'As to the democratic situation most
 of my. friends say that the nomination will lie between Clark and Underwood. understand that the conservative ele- ment of the country Is more for Under wood than any other candidate. Harmon doubtless has a strong follow ing in some parts of the country, but he stands little show of being nominated.
 Woodrow Wilson. who had been looked ,ron oc ff,a paoeaxa1t of tfa democrat tic party, made apparently a good start, but
 one hears comparatively little of him
 now. To man up a tree the political
 arena was never so full of interest as it is at this time''

 K HAY, 1. 1912, bids fair to become
 MI memorable in American history as | the day upon which a great re- form measure was initiated in the House of Representatives. If finally incorporat- cd into our fundamental law, as we firmly believe it will be. it will bear the name of it's author. the distinguished represen- .tatve from Alabama and chairman of the committee on judiciary, the Hon. Henry D. Clayton, and will be known as the Clayton resolution. It provides, in brief, that the following be adopted by the Congress and the states as a sub stitute for Section 1 of Article ? of the constitution of the United States:
 'The executive power shall be vested in President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of six years and shall be in- eligible to a second term
 This is in substance the provision which James Madison urged upon the constitu- tional convention, which Thomas Jeffer- son pleaded for in letters to George Wash ington, which Andrew Jackson recom- mended in four distinct messages to Con gress, and which. on December 15, 1875, democratic House of Representatives approved in spirit without a dissenting vote from any member of the historic party. It is peculiarly fitting. therefore, that now, when for the first time it's adop- ton seems probable, the measure should originate in democratic House of Repre- sentatives and bear the name of a demo- cratic statesman. S hU
 The reasons for the acceptance of the amendment are so potent and so obvious that they hardly require to be set forth. A few, however. may be stated briefly
 It will remove the living menace of Caesarism.
 It will enhance enormously the effi- ciency of President, first, by removing the temptation and recognized need of seeking a renomination, and, secondly, by according to him sufficient time to make effective the purposes for which he was chosen.
 It will kill the base use of political patronage and induce inevitably higher standard of appointments.
 It will make impossible repetition or the humilating spectacle of President of the United States forced to the hust-

UNDERWOOD STICKS TO HIS JOB

From the Charlotte News and Observer Next Wednesday night, May 15, Con- l gi essman Hehin of Alabama will speak in terest of Oscar w. Underwood. candidate l for the democratic nomination for Pres ident. There will be other speakers, and
 the occasion will be made one of the most notable in the history of this community.
 Mr. Underwood has been growing steadily l in popular favor since he entered the
 race for the nomination. and the indiea-
 tions are that he will make a strong show | ing at the convention In Baltimore. If
 there shall be no nomination on the sec ond or third ballot tle chances are exceed- i ingly good that the great leader of the democratic majority of the House of Rep resentatives at Washington will be se- lected to lead the democratic hosts in the presidential struggle next November
 I In ability, in courage, in constancy, the 1 Alabamian takes high rank among the !, true democratic leaders of this day and generation. It was hoped that he would be able to be in Charlotte at the rally 1 next Wednesday night, but telesraphic message received from him yesterday brought the information that because of his duties at the national capitol he Is not
 in position to be with his friends here who would delight to do him honor. He
 believes that his place is in the front,
 near the fiasnng of the guns, and where
 he can be of service to the country and
 to his party rather than in doing special service for himself in aid of his political fortunes. This is a rather unusual course
 at this tirne in view of the pernicIous &C., tivities of other candidates seeking the
 favor of the people; but it is a course
 which we are sure will impress the demo- cratic voters with the value of the man who has regarded his public duties SUI perior to his private interests.

As Quickly As Water
 DissoIves Sugar
About the Time Ii Takes for n Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to Work on the
 Food and Bring Relief
TRIAI. PACKAGE SENT FREE


 There is no long wait between the time you take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet and the feeling of relief 1t will bring to an overloaded stomach. It gets busy in a jlffy and quickly sets things to rights in that tired and dis ordered stomach. It goes right at the work of digesting the food it finds lodged there and in no time at all has things on the move-the gases cease forming, the breath is sweetened, the coating on the tongue disappears and you are no longer conscious that you even have a stomach.
 That is one of the chief recommenda- tions for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets that they don't take forever to accom- plish the purpose for which you need them. It is just as if you put an ex- tra stomach or two to work swhen yours needed help. You can't continu- ally overload your stomach and expect it to always smile. It is going to get rebellious and sulky after awhile and refuse to go on being driven to do double work. You must rest 1t occa- sionally-not by starving and thereby weakening yourself physically-but by using a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to do the work of digesting your food.
 These tablets contain all the active elements of the natural stomach juices and will alone and unaided digest food just the same as the gastric juices. And nothing could be more harmless than these tablets. They do not effect the system in any way--do not cure any ailment except as they digest food. Use them freely.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists everywhere. Price. 50 cents per box. A trial package will be sent if you will write F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bdg, Marshall, Mich.

HUGE ALLIGATOR
 IN COLUMBIA

Columbia, January 9.-(Special)- A. Koonce has been exhibiting on his place on Main street a very large alliga- tor, measuring about seven feet in length. The lizard or reptile of the fam fly crocodilidae was captured in the old Porter pond near Cedar Springs, Ga.
 The cold spell of weather just passed was too severe for the member of the fam fly crocodilidae, hence froze few nights ago, which goes to show that he has very limited range climatically. They are very numerous along the Chatta- hooche and some time ago very large one was found in the back yard of MT. w. F. Oakleys on Main street Mr koonce has saved the hide of his reptile, which is very valuable.
