THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

There is no reason why Democrats
should offer an apology for disregarding
the one term plank Of the Baltimore
platform. No matter by whom adopted,
it is an undemocratic proposition. 1t
is antagonistic to the principle Of re-
sponsibIe leadership. If it is the peo-
pies right to elect president before he
has been tried, it ought to be their right
10 give him a vote Of approval or dis
approval when he has been tried and
has made good, or has failed in the un-
dertaking. The leadership Of this great
self governing people should be re-
sponsible leadership. The chief execu-
tive should be responsible to the people.
IF length of term is desired, and seven
years is all right, why not seven times
seven. The Confederate constitution
provided for single term Of six years.
The underlying thought Of a long
single term, with the president removed
from responsibility to the people is a
Tory thought, rather than a Democra-
tic thought. 1t is unwise. 1t ought to
be stamped with the disapproval Of the

Stirred up by q casual remark by The Chippe-
wa Falls Independent, insinuating that office
holding editors are in danger of losing their
identity. w. A. Hume of The Chiffon Times is
again making his paper interesting.
Delavan Republican: This paper does not
now nor did it then, make any complaint about
the governor visiting the different parts of the
state and being away from his duties. In fact
we felt pleased to know thst he was doing this,
because we felt sure that if he visited sutfi
eient number of places in the state, his defeat
would be absolutely certain. We think he has
gone around enough now so that he never could
ne elected to another office in Wisconsin.

Democrats Must Be Firm.

It is reasonably clear that a large
number of Republicans in the present
congress mean to play politics with
out regard to patriotism, and attack
President Wilson's foreign policy from
every side. It will be a sad spectacle
of partisanship, but it need not en-
barrass the Democrats.
At the first sign Of such tactics, the
Democratic leaders should take the Of
fensive and keep it.

plea for Inheritance Tax.

The Inheritance tax falls on wealth,
not on poverty. 1t takes from un-
earned wealth, it does not subtract a
penny from the legitimate gains of any
man. It is cheap and easy to collect.
1t is a sure and bounteous revenue
producer. 1t is one of the greatest
weapons of Democracy in the never
ending fight against the growth of a
privileged caste.
Give us a national inheritance tax,
and stop pif1ing with gasoline and au-
tomobiles and bank checks and steel.

A Standpatter.

Although Mr.. Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania feebly denies that he is to be a
candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination next year, why
should he despair? If that great honor
is to go to a standpatter, there is no
one in the whole crowd who is holder
than he and no one who in that capac-
ity will make fewer apologies.-New

Country Has Learned.

Surely there is no longer magic in
the sacred, heaven-high protective
tariff, which for years has been the
sun of the Republican system Of prin-
ciples. The United States has been
taking a course in political economy
since August, 1914. 1t knows that to
sell you must buy; and it is hunting
trade around the world

UNIDENTIFIED NAN
DEAD ON AGATE BEACH
Authorities Are at Loss to
Know Where Body Came
FrOm---NO ShipwreCks
(By Lamar Tooze)

Newport, Oregon, June 2S.-(Spec-
ial to the Capital JounaD-The body
ing. The tide has been unusually
at Agate Beach, little resort three
miles north of Newport, at five
o clock this evening.
The body was found by Mrs. f. H.
Wells and Mrs. Eva Barkam, of Agate
Beach, while they were in surf bath
ing. The tide has been unusually
high for the past week and it brought
the body close inshOre and almost
against the bathers before they real
ized what it was. They called for as
sistance and the body was dragged
from the ocean by means of poles and
placed on a board awaiting the ar
rival of Coroner Hollingsworth of TINS
city.
oroner Hollingsworth, DIR. =. NJ.
Carter and DR.. W. NJ. Berry Of New
port Immediately went to Agate Beach
which is located near the government
lighthouse The body was brought
back to Newport where an informal
inquest was held
The body was in fairly good condi'
tion. According to Doctor Carter 1t
has been in the water for six weeks or
two months. The flesh Of the face mas
been nearly eaten away by fish and
crabs but the remainder of the body
is pretty well preserved, Doctor Car
ter believes the good condition to be
due to the action Of the salt water
which has a preseryatiye effect.
A shoe, pair Of socks and trousers
are the only articles Of clothing on the
body. The shoe appears to be almost
new and tne trousers are of blue serge
and of good quality. 1t is thought
that the man was not sailor because
his clothing is different from that
which sailors ordinarily wear.
An open faced gold watch, badly
damaged by the action of the wafer,
is the only personal effect found on
the body. 1t gave no clue as to the
identity of the man.
The man was over six feet tall ana
weighed at least two hundred pounds
The authorities are at los' TO eN'
Iplain how the man lost mis- life. There
have been no shipwrccks in the vicln'
lity of Newport for a number OF
months. He may have been washed
overheard from some coastlng vessel
Some believe he might have been a Co
( umbia river fisherman.
Coroner Hollmgsworth has not yet
indicated as to what will be done with
| the body. 1t win probobly be neld
for several days with the hope that it'
identity will be established.
The finding Of the body caused con
siderable excitement here. A number
of people were present at the morgue
