AS TO THE CoLoNELs PLANS.

1t has been tacitly agreed in the national house
of representatives to drop the single presi-
Dental term amendment so far as this session
is concerned. By framing the amendment TO
disqualify Theodore Roosevelt from the presi-
deney the senate admitted its fear that the only
way to keep him out of the presidency was to
set up a constitutional bar.
The Nebraska State Journal thinks that the
house Democrats were wiser than their col
leagues. Says that paper;
Had the house concurred in the senate meas
ure the tendency of the amendment before State
legislatures would have kept Mr.. Roosevelt in
the limelight throughout the coming four years.
So long as he opposed 1T, the anne ndment could
hardly have got past thirty-sx legislatures The
submission of the amendment would thus have
served no purpose but to keep Mr.. Roosevelt in
line for another presidential candidacy in 1916"
We fail to see the force of the Journals argu-
ment. Amendment or no amendment, the plans
of the Hon. Theodorius Rooseveltius undoubted-
ly contemplate remaining In the limelight con-
tinually, with all the forces at MS command
directed toward securing the nomination and
II possible the election in 1916. He has not
made his confdant, but we believe that we
are right. If the esteemed Journal could devise
a plan for drawing the curtain on the colonel
i; will deserve a premium. Modesty is not his
long suit.

RALEIGH. n. c., Feb 2I.-Thea
governor of Virginia and the gover-'
nors of Maryland, South CaroIinas and
Delaware, together with the president
OF the Initad States, were today for

attend the ceremonies marking the
unveiling OF $4,000 statue to Gem
eral Nathaniel Greene next year at
Guilferd battle ground, near the city
of Greensboro.
The governors Of the States named
are united especially on this occa-
sion because the army of General
Greene in the battle concentrated
by the statue was ynade up OF troops
from those States.
The governors Of Rhode Island and
OF Georgia are also included in the
resolution. because General Greene
was born in Rhode Island and died
and is buried in Georgia.
Congress recently appropriated the
sum of $4,000 to provide this statue
to the famous Revolutionary hero,

FRAUGHT WITH GREAT POSSIBILITIES
FOR GOOD.

The possibilities for association such as
was organized Thursday night-the Society for
the Betterment Of the Housing and Living Con-
ditions in Richmond-are very great, and The
Vayosniam hopes and believes that when the or
ganization has mapped out its plan of campaign
that it will have the cooperation of the city
authorities as well as of all good citizens.
The society is composed of conscientious, en-
ergetic men and women who will throw heart and
soul in the work of solving any problems to
which they put their hands. The plans of the
society have not fully matured 30 far the
public is concerned 1t has enlisted the services

purpose Of the society is just what its name

nature, and to demonstrate to the city authori-
ties that Improvements along many lines in the

The new organization, too, win be of i'm

REnuKrNG A BAD PRACTICE.

Governor Brown, of Georgia, recently commut-
ed to life imprisonment the sentence of a negro
condemned to hang for the reason that the
accused man was defended by young and in
experienced lawyer. He set forth in his reasons
for the communication that an INDECENT defendant,
when on trial for his life, should be furnished
by the State with advocate whose long ex-
perience would give the full extent and weight
Of the evidence in such a manner as will ex-
baust the fountains of justice for the poor man
rs thoroughly as paid counsel will exhaust them
for the rich.
The general practice of throwing such cases
into the hands of yearing attorneys simply
to aaard them practice, is. undoubtedly, bad
and Governor Browns action and comment viii
doubtless find ample endorsement.

election entirely free from politics We do not
suppose for an instant that the advocates Of the
enabling act ever entertained any other idea
but special election. To hold such an election
along with any State election would becloud the
