ROOSEVELT ANO THE
THIRD TERM TRADITION

old friend Henry Watterson that
the third-term tradition is all
that stands between us and life
tenure in the presidential Office"
The th'rd-term tradition has
undoubtedly had its uses: yet we
think those uses have been greatly
overestimated. The tradition is
of less Importance than the
character of the president upon
whom the third term is to be con-
ferred. A third term for Wash
ington or Jefferson or Jackson
would not and coulG not have
meant life tenure. Had Line )l n
been spared. third term in his
case might have avereted the
terrible tragedy of reconstruction
without diminishing by single
grain the sum total of American
liberty.
A nation that is wholly fit for
self-gvcrnment, that respects it's
own institutions, that believes in
due process of law iand is still at
tached to the basic principles of
/ human freedom, has little to learn
from third term or even a fourth
term. It's political salvation is
always in its own hands and il re-
mains the strongest guarantee of
its own liberties.
The menace Of the Roosevelt
campaign does not lie in the attack
upon the third-term tradition but
in the state of mind that could
desire four years more of Theo-
dOre Roosevelt in the white house
foIr years more Of personal
gvernment, four years more of
presidential awlessness, four years
more of autocratic rule, four
years more of executive contempt
for congress, courts and constitu-

THE QUAKERS ARE
 BETTER FRIENDS
Even Hicksite and Orthodox iSpeaIsino to Each Other and Some May
 Unite

Quakers are feeling the impulse to- ward unity At the yearly meeting of Hieksite Friends of Philadelphia a let ter of greeting was ordered sent to the London yearly meeting. Quakers maintain relations between meetings by sending formal letters. It was in 1S2s that the Friends in America separated. Since then the liberal element has stood still in numbers and is now steadily losing ground, while the ortho dox element grows rapidly. especially in the middle west The London year ly meeting never separated. Not until this year has the Hicksite meeting sent letter to the London one. Men- tion of this long silence Is contained in the letter. Not time enough has elapsed to get reply from London, but there is no doubt the relations will be renewed.
 New York city has both Hicksite and orthodox yearly meetings. The former, while much weaker throughout the country. is the stronger one in New York. The orthodox meeting house in Gramercy park is now offered for sale. It will bring s1,000,00o The member ship has dwindled until there is but handful to hold and use the $1,0o0. 900. No thought Is had of rebuilding else where If a sale of the property is made, but many favor union with the HiclS- site Should such union come about it will be the first since the separation in 1928.

PEONS FIGHTING FOR LAND
De Lara, Mexican Socialist, so Says of
 Revolution Against Madero

From the Washington Post.
 That the revolution In Mexico is not for the purpose of unseating President Medero and placing Gomez at the head of the republic, but is the voice of the peo- pie clamoring for share of the rich lands of the country, was the statement made last night by Senor L. Gutierrez de Lara, Mexican delegate to the national conference of Socialists. He spoke at the socialist mass meeting. which filled the auditorium of Typhoid Temple, 425 G street northwest.
 "The revolutionists may not have an overabundance of funds, but they have plenty of men, ammunition. provisions and good horses, which counts for a lot in that country" he continued. But more than all that, they have a stability of purpose which will not be weakened by few lost battles, or a few lost years Even though it takes the peons, or work ing class, 50 years. they will eventually share in the rich lands of my country.
 Fifty thousand men are now actively engaged In the revolt, but every working man in the country. whether he has arms or not, i shrinking all the time, and as he gets arms he will join the revolt"

RAILROADS FIGHT
THE PARCELS POST
viii Refuse to Deliver Mail Free From
Depot to PostoffiCe Where Distance
L Over Quarter of Mile.


Washington. D. c.. Oct 29.-That the
railroads of the United states have a
trump card to play against the parcels
most and the attitude of the interstate
commerce committee IN Its dlscoun-
tenancing the claim of the railroads to
the right to intervene in the express
rate adjudication, became known when
the pOstoffice department, the treasury
department and the interstate com
merce commission exchanged views and
practically decided upon a conference
An old statute provides that the rail
roads Of the country need not make free
delivery of mail transported by them to
postOffices in cities and towns that are
more than One-fouTth of a mile from
the depot OF terminal. There are many
postoffices in the United States lust
over the quarter mile limit. the railroads
never before splitting hairs on exact dis
tances- With a prospective great volume
of parcels post business. however, the
railroads are taking eOgniZance of their
right to object and to refuse free de-
livery.
Heretofore postoffiee sites selected by
the treasury department were approved
If they were reasonably near the quarter
mile limit. Orders have gone forth now,
however, that all future sites must be
within the limits, despite other consid-
eratlOns.
There is little doubt that the parcels
post viii greatly increase the volume
of mail matter. The extent of this in
crease cannot be foretold. Certain it Is.
however, that the railroads viii not want
to make free deliveries on this volume
OF business in competition with their
allies, the express companies, if they
can help If.
Postmaster general Hitchcock and
members Of the interstate commerce
commission are viewing this situation
with much concern. and are preparing,
as far as possible, to meet an emergency
on this score. A list showing all post
offices that are over the limit has been
prepared at the treasury and postOffice
departments.

But. Miss Fisher. how did YOU ef-
feet that TRANSFORMATION in yourself?"
I inquired.
Miss Fisher beamed her enhancing
smile.
Il just love compliments" she said,
even when I don't believe them
But ! insisted that the little girl
who had made "Dearie" famous all
over the country while she was sweet
and attractive, could not lay claim to
the dashing beauty Of the Sallie Fish
err who brings the 'Womanhaters'
club" to their knees every night at
the Astor theater.
If my looks have improved said
Miss Fisher, its because I love beau
ty and desire it so ardently. You can
do a great deal by study, YOU can i'm
prove yourself physically by exercise,
diet and care, but I think back of it
all it is the mind, the beauty loving
spirit, the desire to improve in every
way. to study, to learn and accom-
plish something All this shows in
ones face. because the face is just the
reflector of the soul, and as you grow
to think and to care for beautiful
things, you naturally reflect your con-
slant thoughts.
If she determines not to sink into
the slough Of LONELINESS. or to let
others push her into it, there is al
ways a chance that she will grow into
pretty girl, and if she can't be really
pretty she can at least be an inter
esting one"

By Margaret Hubbard Aver,
hhT WAS a very plain child" said
Miss Sally Fisher, with a remi-
Il niscent look of pain. But ]
have always I0nged for beauty more
than for anything else in the world.
1 think it is the greatest gift that any
woman can have. and it's absolute
flub-dubb for any woman to say that
she doesn't long for it.
Beauty is essential to success and
happiness in every walk Of life
of course, we can't all expect to
like like Lillian Russell or Maxine FL
lott who to me represent the two op-
posite types of perfect beauty. But
I think if you struggle hard enough
for it, some degree Of prettiness can
be achieved by the girl who determines
on it
some Advice.
Here is where I'm going to give
some advice" Miss Fisher went on.
Never let an ugly child realize its
own plainness- Nowadays so much can
be done to make people pretty. and
it's such a heart rending sensation to
know that one is plain, that every
child should be spared it.
IF child has any one feature that
Is good she could be saved from utter
LONELINESS, and nowadays when beau
ty is so much question Of mind and
viii, there is always a chance for the
plain girl
