THE SLAYDEN RESOLUTION.

Congressman Slayden, OF Texas has introduced
in the House resolution which opposes any depart
ure from the precedent of two terms in the White
House. The resolution declares that any departure
from this custom would be "unwise, unpatriotc, and
fraught with peril to our free institutions"
Indications are that the House will pass the
resolution. The fact is being cited that a similar
resolution was passed by the House in 1875, on mo-
ton of Springer, of Illinois.
1t is obviously true that the Slayden resolution
is aimed at the movement Of the friends of Theodore
Presidency. The Springer resolution was passed
when Grant was concluding his second term, and
when there much support for the plan of giving
him third term.
Conditions, however, are far from parallel In
the first place. Colonel Roosevelt has not been elect
ed twice. In the second place, it was proposed to
keep Grant in Office continuously for twelve years.
Colonel Roosevelt has now been out Of office since
March 4, 1909, and IL reelected will have been out
for four years.
1t will hardly be taken seriously by the country
that the election Of Roosevelt to another four
years in the White House, after he has been out OF
Office four years. is in any sense dangerous to the
country's institutions Rather If he is chosen under
the circumstances it will be demonstration that il
is the will of the public after ALL that is most potent
in this country and not the will Of the heads of polit
ica machines
About all the passage of the Slayden resolution
will demonstrate is that the House Democrats believe
that if Roosevelt is nominated he will be elected.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH AGREEMENT.

The United States stands in a very unenviable
light through the failure to join in the agreement
perfected by the International Wireless Telegraph
Convention Of 1906.
We have absolutely no standing in the Inter-
national Bureau at Berne, although twenty y-three
other countries and their dependencies have ratified
the convention. The Chief Signal officer of the
United States army has called attention, in his last
two annual reports, to this failure the part Of the
United States, and has pointed out that it is only
through courtesy, or by some private arrangement,
that our ships can communicate with ships located
in foreign countries.
This is most humilating position, and it will
become all the more so when the International Con-
ference is held in London next June. Our repre-
sentatives will not be allowed to participate in the
proceedings unless our adhesion to the bureau is
taken up and ratified by the Senate.
The subcommittee of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations is said to be looking into" the
matter.
Isn't it about time that definite action were taken,
and the United States admitted to the brotherhood
of civilized nations in the matter of internationalizng
wireless telegraphy?

DEWEY'S CHIEF GUNNER DEAD.

There was little of pomp and circumstance about
the funeral of Joseph Holub, who passed away in
Chicago Tuesday, but he should not 60 into the
Great Silence without a word of tribute from his
fellow-countrymen.
For "Joe" Holub was the chief gunner under
Admiral Dewey in the battle of Manila, and such
bore a conspicuous and honorable part in the making
of American history. He was the embodiment Of
that direct force which has become rite as the man
behind the gun," and the occasion was one which
forever sets him apart even from the many capable
and courageous fighters who have shown the
mettle of their pasture whenever the American navy
has been engaged with foreign foe.
'' Joe" Houb had served twenty-seven years in
the navy when he was retired on January 1, of the
present year. Death allowed him but thirty days Of
his wel-earned leisure, and his passing is scarcely
noticed; but lest be said that republics ungrate
full let acknowledge his service important, in
its way, if he had stood in the coming tower.

HOUSE HARMONY MARRIED.

1t has taken the Money trust resolution Of Con-
gressman Henry to bring out into clear view the
lines of cleavage among the House Democrats.
On the one hand, the Bryan-Wilson influence is
insisting on radical probe Of the money power by
special committee. On the other hand, Leader
Underwood and other conservatives are trying to
siderack the Henry plan and have the investigation
proceed along conservative lines, and be made by
the Banking and Currency Committee and other
great committees.
BY long odds, the controversy which has been
stirred up is the berest that has resulted since the
Democrats got control of the House. 1t is verfca-
ton Of predictions that the Democrats departed
from the tariff as the main ISSUE they would prove
themselves as badly split as the Republicans.
The whole situation does not bode well for the
hopes Of those Democrats who have wanted to 70
into the next campaign with the Democratic party
presenting united front. The fact is, that it has
brought forward questions that the Democratic lead
cannot hope to escape answering before the elec
ton. These questions pertain to the attitude Of
those in control of the Democratic party corporate
and monetary problems.
The public will insist on answers to these ques
tons, and the outcome of the present struggle will
be keenly watched by the entire country

JUSTICE TO THE APPENDIX.

Justice, tardy but sure, may now be done to the
appendix This much-debated organ, whose gyra-
tions and irriations have brought on so many sur
gcal operations the past dozen years, bids fair to be
decorated with somewhat milder adjectives. DR..
Cudd, of Spartanburg S. c., is the physician who
has discovered useful function for the appendix.
In fighting peagra, which has afflicted the South
so grievously, DR.. Cudd finds the appendix so ar
ranged that the surgeon employ it at one stage
of the disease as natural canal by which to carry
off disease germs. Peagra has not yet invaded the
North, and it is hoped it never may. But it is a
grevous maady to its victims, and any organ which
proves useful in fighting may properly be removed
from the blacklist of the useless

is the one thing in which the Senate committee is,

WINNoWING OUT THE IMMORTALS.

1t was thoughtful of Mr.. Harrison S. Morris, vice
president of the National Institute of Arts and Let

tails before submitting his plan of an American
Academy to the United States Senate for indorse-
ment 1t would have been still more thoughtful on
his part if he had called the lmmortas together to

score of the elect, the pre-eminent, the anointed
