Children Cry
FOR FlETChER'S
Q a STO RIA
Seven Years is too Long.

Ex-President Taft, in one of his
recent addresses, returned to the once
popular idea OF having one-term
Presidents of seven years. We are
sorry that Mr.. Taft has not seen fit
to revise that idea. Seven years is
too long for a man to be in office,
under certain circumstances.
At the present time, for instance,
we believe there is a widespread, al
most universal desire on the part OF
the thinking people of this country
to end the present Tariff, a Tariff
that has been found to be unsuited to
American conditions. If the country
could vote directly on that Tariff to-
morrow it would be voted out, we
believe. two to one. But the pro-
cesses of getting rid of it are slow
and it will take two years more of
waiting, with another general election
to complete the work, to revise the
Tariff so that it will again administer
10 the wants of the people.
Suppose now that President Will
son should be in for seven years. Dur
ing all that time. through political
strategy. he would be able to block
the people i'm their desire to have the
Tariff revised. For seven years he
would be able to interpose his will
against the will of the people. Such
a situation would become tragical and
tend to subvert the institutions of
the country. There must be a reas-
enable means for the people to get
at their government, for the policies
and wishes of the people to be regis
tered at Washington. They do not
want to be held up for seven years.
and that by one man, man who may
be either wise or otherwise.-Cedar

have been thoroly cleaned and dis
infected compartments for four per-
sons each were arranged as sleeping
quarters. Four straw sleeping bags
were put in each box, together with
a table and chair and large wash
basins. These may be filled only
in the passageway and there dried.
In the boxes are lodged the mem
bers OF the cultured classes as well
as the destitute Russians who are
liable to military service, together
with the wives and children of the
latter; whilst for the rest of the civ
IL prisoners-mostly seasonal work
ers, the large and airy spaces above
the stalls are fitted up as dormit-
cries.
Just as no fault can be found
with the shelter, so none can be found
with the care given. Everyone re-
ceives every other day large loaf
of fresh bread and every morning and
evening coffee is served. For supper,
there is in addition either soup or
sausage. as the prisoners may prefer.
The main meal, however, is the noon
day meal, which is cooked in mess
kitchens and consists of meat, pota-
toes and various vegetables, all
cooked together and divided in ra-
tiOns, to all. The mess kitchen is
housed in the saloon quarters of the
race course. From there the pris-
oners fetch their food in specially
furnished napkins, and they eat their
meals either on the race course, or
if the weather is inclement, in the
restaurant of the course. In case
the prisoners have money of their
own, they may get their meals from
the canteen keeper, where they can
buy tea, coffee, milk and tobacco,
althO the sale of stronger liquors is
strictly prohibited.
In case a prisoner does not wish
to wash his own clothes, he can have
it done for him by paying therefor.
Each day a barber makes the rounds
for hair and beard trimming. If
prisoner wishes to buy new clothing
or linen, he is permitted to do so
under the guard of a soldier in near
by Spandau.
The supervision of the health of
the prisoners is in the hands of a
physician. Every prison
er must submit to vaccination, and
as long as no work has been provid- |
ed for the prisoners they are oblig-
ed to take exercise for two hours |
each day on the greensward of the !
race course. There are about 1,4OO |
men lodged at the race course at ,
and only comparatively |
small force of guards is necessary |
for them, since the prisoners are |
obliged to take care of themselves. |
They are divided in groups of from |
ten to twenty persons. with an in !
telligent civil prisoner as monitor
over each group. The monitor must
see to it that there is the strictest
order and cleanliness maintained,
and his instructions must be obeyed
absolutely.
