TIE WORKS AMENDMENT.

The approval by the Senate OF the
Works amendment to the federal Ton
stitution limiting the tenure OF the
President TO a single siX-year term
gives substantial form TO demand
now becoming widespread. The IT'D
me early last year. before the national
marty conventions were held. earnestly
urged the adoption of constitutional
restriction on second term tradition
End practice and recommended to all OF
tbc partics a declaration against re-
election. whether in succession or not.
The campaign of 1912 certainly gave
all the point needed TO the argument
that q President can serve the country
more satisfactorily if custom does not
require him to be candidate for re-
nomination.
The lengthening of President
term 10 six years would give him
better opportunity 10 develop his poll
cicS and would protect him from the
Uncertainties of those who now offer
their aid toward renOminating him.
lie would he far more independent OF
Senators. Representatives and party
leaders who take advantage of his can
didacy TO serve their own purposes.
He could veto bills without any fear
of alternating personal support lie
could be President i'm all that the term
implies from the day he entered the
White House to the day he left II.
The second term theory has been re-
sponsible for an undue narrowing Of
the field of choice in electing Presi-
dents. IT is not necessary TO turn again
and again to few candidates and TO
ask men TO run for President two, three
or four times This is a big country
and there is plenty of Presidential ma
terial Maybe some Of the support
given the Works amendment yesterday
was due 10 the conviction Of certain
Senatorial aspirantS that no one is in
dsnensable as n Presidential candi-
date. But that conviction is sound.
There should be no trust in Prcsi-
dental nominees.
The Democratic party at its last con-
Nention came out courageously in favor
of the single term. The House of Rep
rcsentatives is strongly Democratic. II
can hardly do less than follow the Sen
ate's example and pass the Works
amendment at this session. II may
thus fortify Governor Wilson'S resolu-
ton TO live up to the single term
pledge which the Baltimore convention
solemnly made i'm his behalf.

CURLING COCAINE SALES.

From The Brooklyn citizen.
The sale OF cocaine except by licensed
druggists Is prohibited, but this makes Its
illegal sale all the more profitable. and II Is
mainly by this lille climate route that It's
victims go prematurely 10 their graves or
the madhouse. Recently the police sue
ceeded in arresting two illegitimate pur-
yeyors OF this drug. both professional men,
and Yesterday they were sentenced to prison
after the Judge had delivered a scorchIng
rebuke 10 the reputable persons who had
foolishIy interceded In their behalf The
Judge was none too severe in his censure OF
these misguided "respectables." Many a
brilliant career has been wrecked and many
young life has been ruined BY addiction
to the drug habit" The state cannot en-
ploy too drastic measures to stamp IL out.

URGES AID FOR STRIKERS

Sir: ! desire 10 express the hope that
the appeal Of the Ladies' Garment Work

sands Of girls now on strike will meet
with an immediate and generous response
from the general public. These girls have

up TO this time have depended wholly
upon their own limited resources, which
have been gathered little by Utuc,
through the months past from their pitt
FULLY small wagcR These funds are now
exhausted apparently. and the strikers
are fInding il necessary to make "A general

selves. but also Tor The larger interests OF

which will enable them TO live with some
approach to decency and comfort, for
short hours which will save them from

abolition Of the sweating conditions which

but TO every member OF the social group.
They arc seeking. In . word. for the re-
dcmption Of vast industry from those

SEEKING PERFECT ROADS.

Two propositions concerning suDur'
han and rural roads are undeniable.
One Is that the development Of auto
mobile traffic has made even the best
existing roads obsolete. and the other
that il does not yet appear what the
successful new road will he. Time
was when macadam road was
thought to answer every need Then
the telford pavement was adopted. la
support heavier traffic. Probably thes"
would have served satisfactorily for
all time under horse traffic only. Bnt
the advent Of automobiles. OF far
greater weight and speed and wearing
the road surface in a decidedly diner
ent fashion. proved even the best trap
telford TO he inadequate.
The urgent need Of finding snbsti'
tute for or supplement TO tclford AMI
the uncertainty which thus far attends
the quest are suggested by the clab-
crate experiments which are being
conducted in various places in this
country. and still more, perhaps. in
England. Gu mile stretch Of much
reouented road in Northern New Jer-
sey at least half dozen different
methods Of construction. or Of surfac-
ing. are being tried. But English road
makers surpass that. On mile and
half of the great London and FOlke-
stone road. in Kent. which Of all roads
leading out Of London has perhaps the
heaviest motor ear traffic, no fewer
than twenty three different methods
are being tried. They were all put into
use nearly year and half ago, so
that by this time their comparative
merits are being pretty well exhibited.

WHAT WASHINGTON NEEDS.

Now that the erection of the Bacon
Lincoln Memorial in Washington is
safely assured Congress may he ex-
pected 10 do public service Of almost
equal value by authorizing the con-
struction Of q George Washington me-
mortal building on the site of the old
Pennsylvania Railroad station. at pres
ent part Of the Mall. From the point
Of view of the Fitzgerald school Of
economists this project is immune from
either financial or artistic criticism,
since the erection of the building is TO
cost the government nothing beyond
furnishing the site. The George Wash
ington Memorial Association. an or
ganization of patriotic women, has un-
dertaken to furnish the money with
10 guarantee the raising Of a building
fund Of 100000 and an endowment
fund of 100000. This latter fund is
TO be intrusted 10 the Board Of Re-
gents of the Smithsonian Institution,
under whose supervision the building
will be placed.
The building is intended to fill a
want long felt at the national capital.
What Washington needs above all
ether things is suitable hall in which
public or semi-public ceremonies can
take place. There is now but one large
building which can be used for such
purposes and 1t is under private con-
troll. The breakdown of the Inaugural
ton programme this year has been due
in large part to public recognition Of
the inadequacy of the accommodation
which Washington has now to offer for
extended Inauguration Day exercises
Converting the Pension Office to ball
room uses was a device which passed
muster well enough in years past but
which public taste has clearly out
grown. To carry through dignified
aud effective inaugural ceremony many
innovations are necessary. and the
greatest Of these is possession Of pub
lie hall in which the President can be
indicted into Office in the presence Of
The Senate. the House Of Representa-
tives. the Diplomatic Corps and suit
able body of invited guests without the
disorder. confusion and dangerous ex-
I,osure made inevitable by the use Of
The Senate chamber and the north por
tico Of the Capitol Building
The Tribune has recently discussed
the urgent need Of erecting suitable
building in Washington for inaugural
ceremonies. international gatherings
and other public or semi-Dublic func-
tjons. The proposed George Washing
ton Memorial Hall would apparently
meet that need with a minimum OF
cost to the government The Senate

has already passed bill conveying the
site on the edge of the Mall, and the
House Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds has reported the Senate
measure favorably. The House itself
could probably do nothing more sensl-
bic in the way of increasing Washing>
tons facilities and conveniences as
seat Of government than TO give IFS ap-
proval 10 the Washington Memorial
