money enough to send the feet on its

il to appropriate the money for the re-

ed federal incorporation for the in
crease Of power at Washington and
the tightening Of legal burdens on the
corporations the man who advocated
the absorption Of the Tennessee Coal

man who, by many such drastic acts,

of our opportunities in this campaign

OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE.
None Made Now Even In England by
the Ancient Method,

NOHo msoo mo" Even IN cn9i1uo oy
tho Ancient Method.
"Old Sheffield plate" is not manufac-
tured in England at the present time
at least not the real old article In the
real old way. The method formerly
used was to braze or weld a thin sheet
Of silver on either side of a thicker
sheet OF copper and then to roll this
combined metal to a sheet OF the thick
ness required. which would result I'm a
sheet of copper coated on both sides
with an actual surface of silver.
The process of electroplating Is much
cheaper and quicker and has supersed-
ed the old method to such an extent
that articles manufactured by the Old
process would now cost quite as much
as the same articles In sterling silver.
In some parts of England. the United
States consul at Sheffield says In Con
sular and Trade Reports. INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers do not hesitate TO pro
duce copies of old patterns by the elec-
trOplating process and then palm them
off on unsuspecting purchasers as genu.
inc
A Sheffield company successfully
prosecuted two leading dealers In the
United Kingdom for selling this imita-
ton ware as "old Sheffield plate,' and
It has been decided by the codrts that
the term odd Sheffield plate means
articles made from metal consisting Of
silver fused upon copper and not cop
per electroplated and that any dealer
applying the term "old Sheffield plate"
to an article made In any other way
than by the fusiDR process is guilty OF
fraudulent description and may be pro
ceeded against.
There is any quantity of electroplate
made which would be entitled to the
name OF Sheffield plate" The deci-
sioDs of the courts referred to have
particular reference TO the term "old
Sheffield plate" which today ls the
only safe description under which TO
buy plate II one expects to secure genu
inc examples OF the old process.

patriotism and common deCency were
forgotten in the tussle.
The assault upon thu, unwritten
prohibition against a third term
made in the wild scramble for the
republican nomination, warns US OF
the vital necessity of Incorporating
in our constitution a safeguard
against repeated terms.
In the very beginning OF our con
stitution-making II was urged by dele
gates participating. that safety requir-
cd constitutional limitation Of the
period OF years one man might hold

ed them Of the coming OF man whose
Unsuitable lust Of power would be as
consuming as Caesars. towering high
above his love of country. The danger
seemed. even 20 the pessimists. to have
passed with the establishment OF a
precedent by Washington Jefferson,
and their successors. Indeed where
lives the man who has not either heard
or said that an uuwritten law forbids
more than two terms. and II any one
could De so foolhardy as TO seek fur
Their. he would be crushed by the wrath
Of a patriotic and intelligent people.
The man who split his party at
Chicago. once recognized the third
term tradition and acknowledged its
application to his situation On the
eve OF his triumph In 1904, he said .
The wise custom which limits the
president 20 two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and under
no circumstances will l be candidate
