THE NEXT WITNESS.

out in Colorado Mr.. Bryan has been
batting Colonel Roosevelt on the sub
iect of third terms, whether consecu-
tive or non-cOnsecutive. One of his
questions was: How many terms may
"the President of the United States
serve" OF course. the subject is a
distasteful one TO the Progressive
nominee for President, who has 10
turn all sorts of sharp corners run
ming away from this statement. made
by him on the night of his election TO
the Presidency in 1904
The wise custom which limits the
President TO two terms regards the
substance and not the form. and under
no circumstances will be candidate
for or accept another nomination.
Everybody knows to-day that Colonel
Roosevelt IS willing to ask for "a
third cup of coffee" or even a fourth
one. and the only limitation he now
puts on the Presidential tenure is the
creation Of a system Of recall through
which the country could dispense at
any time with q Presidents services.
Ifit is Mn. Bryan'S intention to bring
TO notice the declaration Of the Demo
cratic national platform in favor of Il
single Presidential term his quizzing
Of Colonel Roosevelt has served a good
purpose. Let us hope that he VIII
now go further and PROFOUND to the
Democratic Presidential nominee the
same question. How many terms may
"the President Of the United States
serve" The Democratic platform
pledged the nominee of the national
convention 10 the principle Of single
term. But the nominee has evidently
not had time yet TO read the platform
and has given no sign that be Will
subscribe to the pledge made in his
behalf.
II is. therefore. far more vital 10 III"
progress of the reform in the Presl-
dental tenure for which Mr.. Bryan Is
working that Governor Wilson's attl-
tude be made clear than that Colonel
Roosevelt's inconsistencies be exposed.
OF the latter nothing can be expected
while in Governor Wilson'S case II
may be hoped that he will recognize
the obligation laid upon him by his
party to take the lead in doing away
with the abuses Of the multiple term
system. The Governor should be In
duccd to come out into the open as
champion Of the single term principle,
and Mr.. Bryan could do the cause
which he has nj heart no greater ser
vice than to continue with Mr.. Wilson
the cross-examination which he has
found to work so effectively with Colo
mel Roosevelt.

LEVY RAPS TERMINAL PLAN
Calls on Taxpayers to Oppose Project
Involving $3O,OO0,00O.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: ] read with interest the report Oh
the Merchants Association against the
proposition to buy and lease back TO the
terminal company the piers, wharVeS'
etc. of tho Bush Terminal Company. It
Is amazing to me that such proposition
should be seriously proposed. when reau
that this scheme, which involves the CON
struction of n s3o, 10000 municipal freight
terminal. has been Endorsed by commit

strikes me that It il about time ti'at

assessed valuations have been increaseu
I'm the last five years in an unprecedehteu
way, aud the tax rate Keeps clliholhS
higher and higher. The prevailing luea
seems 10 be not how TO keep taxes do"h'
but to search for new sources OF eA-
pendture. New York City real estate
has been and | hope VIII long remain
first class security, but unless property
owners OF this city make their influence
felt these fantastic schemes VIII keep on
being proposed and ! suppose enacteu
until lenders and investors are driven
elsewhere.
The Bush Terminal scheme, which Calls
first. for the purchase by the city ana
then for a lease by the city TO selling
company. seems to me TO be contrary 10
the spirit. IL not 10 the letter, OF Section
10. Article VIII. Of the state constitution
forbidding counties. cities and towns 10
give or loan money or credit or 10 ihcN'
Indebtedness except for county, city town
or village purposes.
This scheme Is something far beyond an
investment or expenditure for the pur-
chase or building Of docks. Ii IL much
more nearer an investment for railroad
purposo than FOR a dock purpose. Inc
amount involved would be largely for the
pavrnent of tho cost OF the terminal build

ALIEN CHILDREN
Cannot Have Different Rules for Diff

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir In certain quarters the authorities
on Ellis Island have been severely ar
raigned for inqulsitorial and despot!c
methods IN the case OF the detention OF
Mary Fox and her niece. Josephine Nc
Galloway.
From letter just received from Com
missioner Williams quote as follows:
The law Is that all alien children under
sixteen unaccompanied by one or both OF
their parents are excluded, subject TO
the discretion Of the Secretary Of Conn
meYce and Labor" Thus the law puts
these children into class by themselves
and contemplates that they shall be sub
ject 20 a very careful inspection.
From Rule s, applying 10 the cases
Of such persons, l quote the following:
"The board shall exclude them as a mat
ter OF course unless It finds that they
are strong and healthy. havo not been
the objects of public charity, that they
are going 10 close relations who arc able
ard willing to support and properly care
for them and intend TO send them to
school until they are sixteen and VIII
not put them ut work unsuitcd to their
years. Where the board finds these facts
10 exist IL shall so report TO tho officer
In charge and defer action until such Of
iicer shall personally inspect the child
II the child is not clearly admissible
the board shall exclude and give notice
Of the right OF appeal. and II appeal is
fled the case shall be forwarded with

sion outright. co. admission on tond, or

FIGHTING SOCIALISM.

Socialism IS fortunate in It's enemies
The quarrel between the Cordage
Company In Brooklyn. component Of
the so-called "cordage trust" and the
Socialist orators who have insisted on
making speeches In front Of its plant
has AT last reached the courts. where
the trust" will have the law on its
peStiferouS adversaricS; with what adj
vantage remains 10 be seen. The
objection which the cordagc concern
made to the speechmakcrs was not
that they said unbind things about IT,
but that they collected crowds which
interfcred with access TO IFS works
and otherwise INSTRUCTED It's business
In order to disperse the crowds. or
rather 10 prevent the collection or
them, the company, according TO the
newspapers, did the following things:
IL provided dancing platform where
the employees turkey trotted" as n
counter attraction 10 the Socialist ora
tory. It organized ball team for the
men employees. II caused hose To he
turned on the speakers and started n
pneumatic riveter in order TO drown
out their remarks. In addition. mis-
siles are reported TO have been thrown
from roofs and trucks driven through
the audiences of the Socialists. Incl
dentally, the attention Of the newspa-
pers was attracted and columns were
printed about the fight, with illustra-
tons Of the turkey trotting" Mt the
rival show. All Of which naturally
tended TO distract attention from the
Socialists performances and to keep
idle curious persons from gathering to
watch the developments.
The newspapers print one Of the So
ciallst speeches which were the occa-
sion Of all these elaborate efforts. We
wonder that it never occurred to the
company to trust to repetition Of
the speeches TO dispense the crowds
without resort TO such dispensing
influences as the turkey trot," ball
games and columns Of publicity. 4
Socialist speech Will usually do the
business, if you give II time.
