WHO'S AFRAID?
philadelphia Times.)

ongressman Slayden's anti
third term resolution developed
one Of the most amusing s!'ua-
lions the house has faced in a
long time. While il was pending
action, Senator-elect ollie James
of Kentucky. Bryan-progressive
Democrat, walked ovcr to a group
Of Democratic friends and de-
handed:
"Don't you know that If you
adopt this resolution it'll nominate
Roosevelt for PRESIDENT"
Nominate nothing, replied
one of lis hearers. Anyhow,
suppose i, does? Well beat him
out OF his boots
why. you can't beat n side
of him. retorted the man who,
having just concluded a long ana
successful campaign. thinks he
knows how the people are think
ing.
the Democrats. No more slsnln-
cant demonstration of real poll
tical sentiment could nave been
devised.
If the Democrats adopted the
anti-third term declaration it
would be construed as indicating
abtect fear of Roosevelt and
would, as Mr.. James had declar-
ed, greatly strengthen Roosevelt
as a Republican factor.
If they voted on it at all. they
must adopt It.
So they s~idestepped.
Thus have the Democrats indi-
Gated accurately the man whom
they don't want the Republicans
to nominate.
Ollie James said the thing they
all are thinking, when he told his
Democratic friends that they
couldn't beat one side OF Roose-

The extent of those improvements

The extent of those improvements
will. of course. depend upon the
amount Of money given for the pur-
pose. If it is found insufficient for
all. only the largest buildings will be
replaced, for it is the intention Of the
authorities to put up only the most
modern and sanitary structures.
With the Improvements it is plan
ned to enlarge the collection of ami
mails. Keeper Billy Snyder has been
anxious for some time to add to the
number of his charges, but there has
been no room for more. There is
what is known a sthe geological fund
for this purpose, including moneys
obtained in the selling and exchange
Of animals. This now amounts to
about $4,000.
