In some respects, also, Mr.. Wilson's
case Is different from that of Mr.. Taft.
The next president is college pro-
fessor. When he returns to private
life he will not find 1t necessary to ap-
pear before any of his appointees. He
will seek position with university
or college and probably will find no
difficulty in getting a place suitable

CARNEGIE PLAN
IS CONDEMNED
Opposition to His PenSiOning
Ex=PreSidentS.
TWO PROPOSALS MADE

One Is to Continue Retired Executives
as Members of the Senate or Rouse
and the Other Provides for a Gov
ernment Pension.
Chicago, Nov. 25.--A dispatch from
Washington says:
Congress will consider during the
coming session two proposals in refer
ence to caring for former presidents
Of the United States. The first will
contemplate granting them a pension
The second will cali for their contin-
ued service in the senate or house OF
representatives at the salary of $1,000
paid members of congress.
The consideration of provision for
ex-presidents will be the direct result
of the proposal of the Carnegie founda.
tfon to care for the men who have
served the people in the White House.
The suggestion that private insti.
tuition, founded by millionaire, pro.
vide for the future OF men who have
filed the highest office within the gift
OF the American people, has aroused a
great deal of resentment among pub.
lie men in Washington. They regard
1t in the nature of an impertinence.
At the same time they are brought
face to face with the fact that moth
ing is done to aid a man who has
served the people and by such service
has handicapped himself from earning
Q livelihood
Taft Debarred From Practice.
For example, President Taft, who Is
Z lawyer, cannot, with any observance
of the proprieties, practice before the
supreme court, majority OF whose
members are his personal appointees
or other federal judges who owe their
positions to him.
The case of Colonel Roosevelt Is diff
ferent from that OF Mr.. TAFT. He has
q larger fortune than his successor
though 1t is not sufficient to meet the
expenses of himself and his family
The colonel is not lawyer. He earns
Z modest salary from q weekly paper
