LURE OF THE SECOND TERM
Platform Principles Not Likely to
Stand In Way Of President
Wilson's Ambition.

Our pledges are made to be kept
when in ofice.-Democratic national
platform.
Mr.. Thomas r. Marshall. by grace Of
Mr.. Roosevelt, vice-president of the
United States, loses no opportunity to
predict the denomination and re-elec-
tion of President Wilson.
Mr.. Marshall says. 1.-THE Democratic
platform does not bind him (the presi-
dept) to a single term. 1t merely
pledges the party to favor a one-term
constitutional amendment"
AS 1t is toe much to expect Of an Of
ficeholder that he remember the
pledges of the platform upon which he
obtained office, it may be wen to re-
mind Mr.. Marshall that the Demo-
cratic national platform said:
I'VE favor a single presidential term.
and to that end urge the adoption Of
an amendment to the Constitution
making the president of the United
States ineligible for reelection, and
we pledge the candidate of this con.
vention to this principle"
OF all men in public life Mr.. Wilson
has had most to say in support of the
binding force of party platforms, in
spirit as well as in letter. There is a
practical way for him to show his faith
in this principle so solemnly enunci-
ated at Baltimore.
But the United States has never yet
had president strong enough to with
stand the lure of the second term.

Saved by Gold Chain.

A gold chain that she wore around
her neck, saved little girl of Cam
bridgeport, England, from serious in
jury, recently. She was on her way
to Sunday school. when a bullet ex-
ploded by the wheels of trolley car
hit her on the neck. She felt a sting
ing sensation in her neck and discov-
cred a bloodless cut about an inch
long. On looking in at a window she
saw that the chain she wore about her
neck was cut She put her hand into
the bosom of her dress to get the
loose end of the chain and found the
bullet A search of the tracks revealed
several exploded cartridges. The po-

shipment that was stolen from a
freight car short time ago.

Congressman Robert l.. Dougherty
Of North Carolina smiled when the
conversation turned to reversing the
order Of things. He said he was re-
minded OF the case of Bowers.
Bowers met a benevolent party on a
railroad train one day, and as the ac-
quaintance ripened bit he began to
spread before the other the history of
his life.

Curious Suit.

A curious exposition of callousness
and greed was recently made in civil
suit brought against a Colorado sur.
geon. He became interested in the
case of cripple whom he found beg.
ging in the street, and by an operation
requiring great skill removed his dis
ability. The relatives of the cripple
promptly brought suit against the
physician for removing their means of
support, claiming that, as cripple,
the youth had brought them in an av-
erage of about five dollars daily, while
now they were compelled to support
him until he could gain the means of
earning his living. The Judge prompt
ly dismissed the suit on hearing the
case for the prosecution.

Republicans everywhere have been
heartened by the November election,
and there are few voters of Repub-
lican faith who do not believe the old
party will win the presidency and the
house of representatives next time.
There are plenty of good men to whom
the party can turn for leadership. not
withstanding the claims of the Demo
Gratis that the Republican organization
is without a leader except Roosevelt.
The colonel has burned his bridges
behind him, and has no more chance
to be nominated by the Republicans
than the secretary of state would
have.

SURELY UP TO THE PEUrLt
Picking Of Their Representative in
Congress Must Be Admitted to
Be Their Business.

With good prospects OF coming
back into power, the Republican party
has several millstones hung about its
neck. The heaviest and hardest to get
rid OF is Joseph Cannon, who goes
back to congress from his district in
Observation-Disclosures Gazet, D
II Mr.. Cannon is really "millstone'
hung about the neck of his party, who
hung it there? Why, the majority OF
the electors in his district.
Mr.. Cannon was fairly elected by
popular vote. If the people of that
district choose to be represented by
Mr.. Cannon, that is their right, and
who shall say them nay?
Our Progressive friends harp a
good deal on the Let Il Q people rule"
principle.
Very good. Then II the Danville
people, after trying another mCn, have
gone back with considerable gusto to
Mr.. Cannon, why bark at them by
barking at the man Of their choice and
preference?
Presumably they are the best judges
Of their own business; and the picking
of a man to represent them in con-
gress is emphatically their own BUSH
ness.
Mr.. Cannon is certainly not an ex-
pertinent. His constituents have a
very thorough knowledge, based on
long experience, of his value as rep
resentatiye. He suits them, and they
have a right to be suited. Mr.. Cannon
is the product of popular election,
and not an appointee of the Republic
an party.
The election of such men as Pen
rose, Gallinger, Cannon, is sympto-
matte of the desire of the people to
register as emphatically as possible
their dissatisfaction with the Demo-
cratic administration, and their dis
gust with the political pharlsaism and
snuffiing sanctimony of the Progress
sive type of Office chaser-and there
is more plain, common, everyday polit.
ical honesty and principle in rugged
old Joe Cannon than there is in that
whole canting outfit.

marveled thereat. Just as he caught

The efficacy Of the treatment of ty-
phoid BY vaccination is estimated by
the remarkable statistics for the
United States army during last year,
when only two cases Of typhoid fever
among the enlisted force of 10000
we're recorded. or the two cases one
was that of a man who had not been
treated with the vaccine; the other
was among the troops in China. This
mar had been tmmunized in 1911, but
the history OF the case is in doubt.
Before the vaccine treatment was
adopted the typhoid average was 3 to
1000; in 1910, before inocluation was
practised. the rate was 2.32 to LOCO;
In 1911 it dropped to O.So, and In 1912
