THANKS TO CONGRESSMAN
LAMB.

Not only the cavalry service of the
United States Army. but every lover and
breeder of fine horses in the country.
owes debt of gratitude to Congress
man John Lamb, of Virginia, for Sc
curing in the agriculture appropriation
bill the sum of 200 to encourage the
breeding of horses for military pur-
poses. While the money will be spent
for improving the strain of horses in
the cavalry. the private horse raisers
will reap large indirect benefits. They
will have the stimulus both of compe-
tition and example.
Even with this small appropriation.
the Secretaries of Agriculture and
War have been able TO begin expert
mental work that should raise the
standard of cavalry mounts. Ex
perts have been selected to aid the gov
eminent in picking stations, of which
thirteen have already been bought.
All of these horses are high-bred and
registered and some have achieved
fame on the turf. probably the most
conspicuous being the great racer.
Gold Heels.
Further valuable information for
the cavalry and the interest of remounts
has been gathered by the recently re-
turned Army Cavalry Board. Its
members inspected the mounted forces
of Russia. Italy. Austria, France. Ger
many and England. They report
growing demand for the American-bred
cavalry horse. The British army is
now using Irish hunters. but these
are not heavy. enough for hard service.
and General McClernand believes that
the ideal military mount will be the
heavy European stock inbred with
American strains.
The military and agricultural expc-
rience of Captain Lamb has borne
fruits in this movement to raise the
standard of American horses through
the influence OF the army needs. The
results will be as beneficial to the
farmer as to the soldier.

LET THE CANDIDATES OUTLINE
THEIR POSITIONS.

The fact that members of the House
of Delegates are TO be elected this year
elicits this comment from the Cor
louisville Gazette Many import
ant questions will come before, this
body for consideration. such as the
abolition of the fee system and convict
labor and the equalization of taxation,
etc. We should send a representative
from Orange with fully matured ideas
on these and other questions in the in
terest of the people. Let him who
wants TO be Scion be made to give his
ideas to the people.
The Gazette's agitation of the mat
ter is not premature. With the cleo
ton a little more than half a year away,
it is time to insist that those who are
to be candidates shall state their posi-
tions upon State issues. a few would
be legislators have already begun TO
communicate their views to the people
through the newspapers of their coun-
ties. IL is no easy task for the people
to select legislative representatives VINO
will on all issues square their position
with the public welfare. The only
way to secure good legislation is for the
people to elect men committed before
election to sound principles. 1t is
high time for the State press to focus
attention upon the Importance of the
issues that will come before the next
General Assemb and to insist that
candidates shall clearly express their
positions. The people who leave 1t to
the legislator TO decide where he stands
on public questions too often learn
later that he does not stand on the
side of the common interests.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SINGLE
TERM RESOLUTION.

Interest in the proposal to limit the
President to "a single term will be re-
vived by the vote of the Senate on
January 30, on the resolution to SO
restrict the tenure of the office. 1t IL
expected that the resolve which pur-
poses the submission of a constitutional
amendment to the several States will
pass the Senate, but it is unlikely that
the House will consider the matter
before March T. Action before the in
coming of the Wilson administration
seems most improbable.
Opposition to the one-term idea has
already been indicated on the Demo
cratic side of the Senate, giving rise
20 the belief in some quarters that the
necessary number of votes. two-thirds
to insure the adoption of resolution
stitution is net assured. Senator Reed
of Missouri, evidenced antagonism to
the resolution when the question OF
arranging a date for its consideration
was settled by the Senate.
The ambiguous one-term plank in
the idSL hCAN
the Democratic Senators well in line
for the proposition The point upon
which there viii be most pronounced
division is as to whether the single
term shall consist of four or six years
In the next Congress those who are
leading the fight for the single term
idea will strive to have it considered
without further delay. Some ground
may be gained by the favorable action
of the Senate at this time
The question Is one that requires
neither the veto nor the approval OF
the President and Mr.. Wilson will not
be embarrassed by having to pass upon
it. If he shall arouse enmity on the part
OF Democrats in Congress. the resoiu-
ton may be used in an effort to check
any ambition he may have to succeed
himself
