A Horse Doctors Prescription.

Representative Theron Akin, the man
without a party. who is about TO retire
from the House. introduced a resolution
taking a final fling at the Weather Blu
reau and the conduct of government de-
partments in general. and directing that
all members of Congress sound their con-
stituents on the question of what punish
ment is due 'Icarian politicians who have
wellnigh exhausted their supply of gam
boge and merit the Vaughan"
Mr.. Akin, who was once a horse doctor
and cattle raiser, explains that gam
boge" is a sticky substance used as
conveyance for taking physic.' From the
same authority IT appears that the "fata-
CHAN" is two-edged Balkan sword, now
in use in the Balkan war. The Akin
resolution itself is document of eighteen
printed pages. renewing the charges OF
THE New York Independent against
Professor Willis Moore. of the Weather
Bureau. and the Department of Agrl-
culture. Professor Moore is accused or
extrayagant management OF his bureau.
and Mr.. Akin also alleges that the De-
partment OF Agriculture and other de-
partments have juggled with the civil
service law"
Mr.. Akin also refers 10 the Democratic
administration the conduct OF officials OF
the government who have been winking
and blinking at the civil service law and
it's enforcement, as above set out. for such
punishment as may be deemed due Icarian
politicians who have wellnigh exhausted
their supply of samboge and merit the
Yataghan."

Senator Williams made another effort to
provide by amendment for a limitation OF

with the provision that 1t should not apply
10 past Presidents. He could not muster
enough support, however, TO secure a roll

Senator Borah declared that with the

Democratic Reasoning.

The necessity OF taking immediate steps
to perpetuate the lie OF the Aldrlch-
Nreeland law has been discussed behind
closed doors-another procedure winch
may incur the displeasure OF the incom-
ing Tresident-for some time, and certain
prominent Democrats have agreed mat
the movement should be instituted by
those who will control both houses OF
Congress during the approaching admins
tration one Of their number was chosen
TO introduce the simple measure whlcn
would extend the life of the law. Now,
however. that one has changed his mind
and admits that he believes II probable
that the Democrats will adopt some COM
prehensive system OF financial REFORM
during the coming special session.
1t is pointed out by those who best
know the needs Of the country In this d.
rection that whether such comprehen-
sive system OF financial reform is adopted
or not, the extension Of the life of the
Aldrich- NreelanJ law could do 10 harm
and might be productive OF much good
II Is urged that no banker or bank would
resort TO the Aldrlch method ofprocuring
currency snless confronted by grave
emergency and thus compelled TO do so,
while Every banker would gladly avail
himself OF any better method which might
be devised by the Democrats. ON the
other hand IL is known that no subject,
even the tariff, cngenders so much bitter
ness as that Of financial reform. Uncle
Joe" Cannon has long been in the habit OF
raphrasing the well known proyerb and
remarking: Those whom | would de-
stroy. l first appoint 10 the Banking and
Currency Committee" and he IS able 10
point TO a long line OF instances where he
has been as successful in making men
::lad az were ever the gods. IL is for this
reason especially that the extension OF the
Aldrich law before the Democrats under
take any comprehensive revision OF the
financial system Is being so earnestly
urged. as confidence Is expressed that
once that task is begun IL is most likely
TO end In ieuds and Authorizations which
will render any sane legislation impossi-
BILE of enactment. The need OF perpetual
ing the fire escape before lighting bon
fire which may prove a conhagration is
regarded az imperative. q. G. II.

All Amendments Lost.

Of the Senate TO modify it.

Lodge, Lippitt and Oliver Join
in Combating Amendment
Which Would Bar Taft,
Wilson and Roosevelt.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Feb. by a vote of one
more than the necessary two-third ma
jority the Senate adopted to-day the reso-
luton proposing an amendment TO the
Constitution TO limit Presidents OF the
United States to a single term OF six
years. The resolution was carried by AZ
TO %. only Progressives and Republican
Senators and one Democrat being record
ed in opposition to il.
The amendment would bar William H.
Taft. Woodrow Wilson and Theodore
Roosevelt from again seeking election.
In view Of the almost solid Democratic
support of the proposed amendment, the
purpose Of which Is approved by the plat
form, Of the Baltimore convention. it is
not improbable that IL will also he ap-
proved by the House and be sent TO the
states for ratification, if opportunity can
be found for it's consideration by the
present Congress.
The language which it Is proposed 10
insert In the Constitution in place Of the
first paragraph of Article III follows
The executive power shall be vested in
a President Of the United States of Amer
lea. The term OF the office of President
shall be six years; and no person who has
held the office by election, or discharged

dent under the Constitution and laws
made in pursuance thereof, shall be eligl-
bic to hold again the office by election.

MFR. Nelson is one of Roosevelts chief
supporters in the Middle West.
The charge was that Mr.. Nelson.

court in the publication of an article
stating that the judge, on the advice
Of divorce lawyer. had allowed at
torneys fees TO take precedence over
almony in a divorce suit that was dis
missed without being brought TO trial.

Nelson, who is seventy-six years old,

Nelson said quietly, I'll not run away"

sultation with him.

Financial Legislation Imperative.

Those who have tho prosperity OF the
country al heart and who possess an I'M
dcrstanding of its financial needs have re-
called with regret and some degree OF APP
prchension the fact that the Aldrich-Nree-
land emergency currency act will expire
by Limitation on June 80, 1914, and they
arc urging the immediate introduction OF
a bill 10 extend the life OF that extremely
useful measure. While ii may he re-
garded as too early to cherish anxiety
when il is recalled that ever since 1896 the
need of a radical revision Of the financial
system Of the country has been recog-
nized by both Of the two great political
parties. and that nothing of importance
in that direction has been accomplished
that in 1907 the country suffered from
severe panic solely because OF the fall-
ure TO provide some form Of elastic cur
rency 10 meet unusual conditions, ana
this despite the fact that those con-
ycrsant with the subject had foreseen
such a situation and consequent panic for
az least year: and that even when the
Ndrich-Vreeland bill. an essentially
emergency bill. designated for about as
much practical use as Iie escape ol
fire alarm sprinklinG device. was placed
on passage Il was very nearly defeated
by the Id Toilette Stone iilibuster. the
necessity for prompt action becomes eNl-
dent As contributing 10 the necessity
COR early action may be cited the fact
that Senator stone came 10 the assistance
OF Senator La Toilette at the instance OF
William j. Bryan. who expected to pay
an important part in the coming admin
istratio and that President-elect Wilson
has already announced that il is not his
purpose to consult the bankers and tinan-
cial experts when matters OF finance are
at stake. but to submit even the most
technical matters to Providence and the
people. a form of appeal which at best Is
likely to require considerable time ana
which may call for exceptional perspl-
caCity to interpret the answer.
