Should Be Held Responsible.

SHOutu DC TIStu ncopouoipiCs
"Why, in such circumstances, should
he be Responsible to no one for four
long years? All the peoples legisla-
tive spokesmen in the House OF Repre-
sentatives and one-third of their repre-
sentatives in the Senate are brought
to book every two years: why not the
President, ii he is to be the leader of
the party and the spokesman Of pol
icy?
Sooner or later, it would seem, he
must be made answerable to opinion
in somewhat more informal and in
innate fashion-answerab it may
be, to the houses whom he seeks TO
lead, either personally or through a
cabinet, as we'll as to the people for
whom they speak. But that is mat
ter to be worked out-as it-inevitably
will be, in some natural American way
which we cannot yet even predict.
"The present fact is that the Presi-
dent is held responsible for what
happens in Washington in every large
matter, and so long as he is conf
manded to lead he is surely entitled
to certain amount of power-all the
power he can get from the support
and convictions and opinions of his
fellow countrymen; and he ought to
be suffered to use that power against
his opponents until his work is done.
1t will be very difficult for him to
abuse it. He holds it upon sufferance,
at the pleasure of public opinion.
Every one else, his opponentssinclud-
ed, has access to opinion, as he has
He must keep the confidence of the
country by earning it, for he can keep
it in no other way.
Make 1t Two Terms.
"Put the present customary limita
tion Of two terms into the Constitu
tion.- if you do not trust the people
to take care of themselves, but make
it two terms (not one, because foul
years is often too long), and give the
| President a chance to win the full
service by proving himself fit for it.
IF you wish to learn the result Of
constitutional ineligibility to re-elcc
ton, ask any former Governor of New
Jersey, for example, what the effec
is in actual experience. He will tel
you how cynically and with what com
placepee the politicians banded agains

BABIES DRINK
BEER INSTEAD OF MILK

N. j., Aug. 10-Bayonne ba-
bies are tipplers. A report submitted
to the board of directors of the city IS
Child Welfare Station by DIR. w. w.
Riba, medical examiner, shows a ma
iority Of the infants in the foreign sec
tion are started out on diet of beer
long before they are old enough to lift
their tiny feet to shiny brass rail.
s'Most of the foreign babies in Bay
onne begin receiving their daily por-
ton of beer as soon as they are wean-
ed,'' DIR. Riba said. Gin some instan-
ces, it is due to the fact that beer is
cheaper than cow g milk, and in ithers
to the belief that it is a better diet
AS matter of fact the stomach OF
every baby who receives any quantity
of beer regularly is burned so badly
that the child, in after years, is a per
feet subject for every epidemic-in
cluding infantile paralysis-that sweep
the country
Bayonne health authorities are con
sidering plan to make the babies tee
totalers.

ALL REMAINING UNITS ARE
ORDERED TO THE BORDER
The New Movement VIII Bring the To-
tai Of National Guard Troops Along
the Mexican Frontier Up to
1o6 nm

Washington, August 12-An of the
National Guard units included in Presi-
dent Wilson IS call on June Is, not yet
on the Mexican border, were ordered
there today by the War Department.
Between 10000 and $4,000 additional
troops will thus be added to the border
force. National Guard troops there will
number approximately 125,000 and the
Mexico will be 175,O0O.
Secretary Baker made a formal an
nouncement that the troop movement
had nothing whatever to do with the
Mexican situation and was solely to re-
ieve thousands of troops now held in
mobilization camps only because they
| lack afew recruits to bring units up to
fixed maximum strength.
Today IS order sends the troops from
Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont to the
border as soon as transportation can bt
arranged for them, and will move al
the others as soon as they are properly
equipped. War Department officials de
cided on their action because the troop
are restive in camp, and there seems t.
be no stimulus to recruiting while ther
was no prospect of movement to tn
border. They now expect most of tn
regiments will be filed before tn
troops leave.

tsBUILET PROTECTOR Is
NOT HELPFUL BUT HARMFUL

Vienna, July 30.-The Austrian au-
thorities have been making an appar-
emily Intellectual fight against an al
legged "bullet protector that is widely
sold, but which it is claimed is danger
Gus rather than helpful in anyway.
I. The "protector is nothing but a
curved piece of metal that is hung
about the neck inside the tunic, and
which its producers claim, will stop or
lessen the force of a bullet fred at long
range. In practice, the authorities
claim, it is merely menace because a
bullet at short range-as most of them
are-win not only pierce it easily but
f1atten out in the process and often car
ry bits of the metal on into the body.
Some half dozen dalers in the "pro
ftector'' were hailed before the courts
recently on the charge of endanger
ing public safety. Each claimed thai
the metal shields will stop bullets firef
at a thousand yards or more. They es
tablished satisfactorily that they neve
had sold the shields under any othe
pretense, and therefore could not b.
held for fraud.

STYLES HAVE CHANGED;
AND SKIRTS COST MORE.

Chicago, August 12.-Here's why
her skirt costs so much: Skirt styles
change twelve times a year-a skirt
season lasts just one month.
In days Of yore there were only
four skirt seasons to the year, but
never again. Chicago skirt manufac-
turers told this secret when they ex-
planned at Bismarck gardens, where
Chicago Garment Manufacturers are
holding their fall style show, that 8 just
now we are making plaid skirts in
browns and greens, but we don t know
what they will be making next month.
The manufacturers explained that the
style of women 3 skirt changes more
| rapidly than anything else except
iwoman's mind.
The skirt this season is little long
er than a month ago and q little full
er. The most popular ones are draped
tunic effects.

der as to Check Clearing.
Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 13.-North Car
olina bankers are called to meet in Ra-
leigh on Wednesday of this week for
the special purpose of taking whatever
steps are advisable looking to the per-
manent withdrawal of the recent order
of the plan Of the Federal Reserve
Board to change the check clearing
system by providing for postofices to
collect checks, thereby making serious
inroads on the revenue Of great num-
bers Of the smaller banks, most espe-
cia1ly.

tendance and unanimity in demand that
there be permanent cancellation Of the

astrous for great numbers of the banks

display would be of interest to the en-
tire country.

12 vessels Of the first class probably
