One Term and Another.

Asked the other day to dispIace an Of
fetal who had acquitted himself we'll. Mr..
Wilson declined. and gave this reason:
Public office is not worth anything If an
entirely satisfactory fulillment of the
duties OF an office does not entitle a man
TO consideration for reappointment."
A good sentiment, and a new form Of
the old sentiment that one good turn de-
serves another.
Is 1t not true. too. in the case of an
elective office? Should not a mans rec
ord in that kind of an Office entitIe him
to consideration for denomination? In
doubtedly. What is true IN the one case
is equally true in the other Maybe Mr..
Wilson was thinking of that. Ii so, he
was entirely justified
Mr.. Wilson in the White House will
have two incentives to success: ID the
public welfare. and CD his individual for
tunes. They are properly placed in that
order. because he serves himself best who
serves the country best.
Both sides are expressing good wishes

Public Baths.

At this season X is appropriate to recur
to the subject of public baths. 1t is usual
to consider this as a summer topic. but
the public bath is a winter need, first as
affording bathing facilities to persons
who have no. such facilities in their liy-
ing places, and. second. to promote a
more general interest in bathing and to
furnish encouragement and example to
that numerous class of persons who. hav-
ing bathing facilities at home, fail to OBJ
tain from them the greatest possible ben
eft
The District Commissioners in more
than one report have invited the atten-
ton Of Congress to the necessity for the
establishment Of public bathing places in

Statesmen, Spare That Print.

| Again the proposition to abolish the
{ ngressionaf Record But it will not
| prevail. 1t should not prevail Long life
and increasing circulation to that deserv-
ing and influential publication,
Jokers and economists may say what
| they please, but the Record is read Bust
ness men. clergymen, and idle men read
| it. Politicians of pull and aspiring
natures devour it. The matter it contains
possesses wide interest. One finds there
the details of the cost of government: the
wranglines of picked men of widely diff
ferent views; decisions on parliamentary
points of great Importance To speak in
the lingo of the printing kind, the Rec
ord covers it's field completely; and the
| field should not be neglected by any
| man concerned about public affairs
Some changes might be made to ad-
vantage. But that is said of many of
the Records esteemed contemporaries.
How often is. the editor of the Podunk
Bazoo told in communications written
on both sides Of the paper that he is de-
voting too much space to crime, and
sport. and politics. and too little to agri-
culture and sociology. How often is the
editor of the Shady Grove Weekly Ga
zette advised to cut out his society COL
umn and devote the space to business sta
tistics! And how often is the editor of
the Monthly illumination advised to cut
out problem stories and make room for
more poetry!
But. upon the whole, the Record is we'll
prepared AS proof of this. travel in any
state and observe how regularly the lead
ing manufacturers and bankers read it
for information not only as to what the
home senator's and representatives are
saying and how voting, but others. They
are searching for tendencies and tips.
And observe with what hawklike vision
aspiring politicians anxious to reach Con-
gress note the course Of those in Congress
they are maneuvering to supplant. If the
men in Office slip in speech or vote
their rivals are on their backs in a min
ute
The suggestion that the suppression of
the Record would suppress a good deal of
superfuous speech in Congress is not con-
vincing. Maybe not But why pin states
men down to the limit in that matter?
Even a long set speech may contain
something worth while. Even the rheto-
rician whose favorite fight is in the di
rection of the moon and stars may serve,
at least for diverting purposes. A good
deal of talking naturally goes with law
making. The author of a bill may not
have drawn it; or if he has drawn it may
have done SO loosely. The result is con-
fusion and the necessity for explanation.
The Record is not expensive-is far
from being luxury. Neither Congress
nor the country could get along well
without it. If its columns are sometimes
dull that is the fate of all publications.

Sulzer a Busy Governor.

Gov. Sulzer is making record for ac-
ton. He is doing things Scarcely had
he taken the oath of office when at one
stroke he undid the work of months Of
his predecessor. Gov. Dix, and the adju
tant general of the state in the National
Guard muddle and restored the previous
order.
Gov. Suffers action in the Brandt case
the pardoning of Foulke E. Brandt. for
mer valet of Mortimer l.. Schiff. serving
a sentence of thirty years for burglary
was greeted i'm New York with express
sions both of approval and disapproval,
but the comments of approval appear to
have been much more numerous than
those of disapproval. There were num-
Der of sensational periods in this case
and many of the features were mystify-
ing to general readers. Referring the
matter to the attorney general of the
state. that official reported to the gov
ernor that "a pardon should issue, not as
a matter of mercy, but as a matter of
Justice; that "a sentence of thirty years
was excessive and "a blot on the judi
ciary of the state" With the pardon
went a condition that Brandt was not to
accept theatrical engagements land must
not in the future reflect upon the charac-
ter of any one"
Now the governor has dealt a blow to
the so-called sporting interests of the
state. and. for that matter. of the coun-
try, in letting IT be known that he will
veto any bill aimed at the re-establish-
ment Of horse racing in New York
Racing interests in that state have
been hoping for a change of wind and
for legislation looking to the repeal of
the directors liability law, a law holding
directors of racing associations and race
track owners responsible for betting on
| their grounds. law which has prevented
race track gambling and has thus demon
allied the sport of kings" in the Empire
state.

FRANCE PREPARES
TO GET REVENGE
About to Take Action Opposing
Plans Of Germany.

Paris, March 12.-The Intransigeant
declares that an influential Italian
deputy, who is a great friend of
France, informed the government on
Jan. 10 that Germany had secretly
asked Italy, member of the Drei-
bund, whether she was prepared to
begin a campaign in October with
view of ending what was called the
unbearable troubled condition of Eu-
rope.
The French government investi-
gated this statement and confirmed
it, whereupon France decided to put
in a bill for three years military
service instead of two as at present.
The Intransigeant is not a newspa-
per Of serious weight, but its state
ment, coming on top of the Cologne
Gazette, that France is preparing for
revenge has certainly attracted at
tentiOn.
