Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

Samuel H. Leroy, Of Island Pond, VT, a
guest at the Willard, believes President
Wilson may shatter the third term bogey.
Just at present our President is the
popular American IDOL" he said yester-
day His path has been beset with more
difficulties than that Of any other Amer
lean President since the days of Lin
coin. and 1t is no partisan opinion that
says he has conducted his office with
credit to himself and the nation.
why should this superstition prevail
and I call It superstition advisedly-be-
cause there is no sound argument to sup
port It? II President has demonstrated
! his marked capacity for leadership in two
terms, why deny him another? Why re-
whose merits must be tried by expert
ence?
It don't think President Wilson will
want a third term" added Mr. Leroy.
but II he conducts the nation through
the international crisis with the skill
predicated upon honor, which expect,
see none on the political horizon who
could possibly defeat him in 1s2o.'
Mr.. Leroy thinks members of Congress
should be elected at the same time as
the President and serve the four-year
term with the executive.
"A Congressman is hardly seated and
become accustomed to Congressional rou-
tine. before he is compelled to fight for
election again." he says. Just as soon
as the average Northern and Middle
West district appreciates that a Con-
gressman's value increases with his
length Of service, Just so soon will they
grant him a reelection without a con-
test. Apart from that, I am a firm be
lever that a four-year term for members
Of Congress Is desirable from the econo-
mic standpoint since I am opposed to
having members spend half their sal
aries every two years in seeking renom-
fnatton and reelection"

fhsss were Q number Of rumors
gutng around town yesterday con-
oesuing several prominent residents
Of Washington, which alleged that
they were being shadowed BY the De-
partment of Justice. Some of the
rumors were so ridiculous as to be
laughable. If there is ground for
any such rumors the department
should state IT, but if not, they should
make a denial that would set wag-

Far better than the wealth Of Kings
Is to enjoy the simpler things
That need no wild extravagance
To make the human spirit dance.
What need hath he for pomp and power
Who wrests the good from every hour
And with an understanding eye
Perceives the sweets that round him lie
What need hath he for rich estate
Whose heart and soul are all elate
With endless stores of treasure-trove
out OF the golden mines OF Love?

Ex-President Taft is chairman Of the
American League to Enforce Peace. In a
recent published statement Mr.. Taft ex-
presses his personal view as to why all
patriotic Americans should sustain the
President in an aggressive policy to elm
mate not merely the indiscriminate war
which the German U-boats are waging.
but the system that Is behind this rum
amuck war. meaning the German mill
tant system that was forty years in the
building before the war started. AS Mr..
Taft points out. the League to Enforce
Peace Is by no means to stop-the-war
move. The ideal for which it stands is
to secure the right kind of peace after the
war for ourselves and for the whole
world-a permanent and righteous peace.
That L. what patriotic American senti-
ment everywhere is demanding-a prem
anent and righteous peace. and this kind
Of peace must be attained whatever the
cost
There Is. beyond a doubt, an organized
peace-at-any-price propagandism. 1t is
working under cover mostly. but it crops
out into the open here and there. 1t is
an interference movement-an attempt TO
block and hinder the national govern
ment from doing what 1t must do II the
honor. the future peace and the very life
of this republic, founded upon ideals of
right and justice, is to be preserved.

Volume XIX.

With this weeks issue the
FULTON COUNTY News enters
upon the nineteenth year of its
existence. 1t does not seem so
long time as that since the
editor was asking the coopera-
tion of his friends in the establish
ment of a third paper" in this
county. From the time of its
advent into the field it has con-
tinued to grow, and the editor
well, he does not have as many
gray hairs as he did a year ago.
(The bald spot is getting larger. }
The establishment of the News,
the publishing of the paper for
eighteen years. and the very cor
dial relations existing between
paper and people have all been
elements that have added pleas
ure to the life of the Editor.
May Heavens choicest blessings
be showered upon every home in
which the NEWS goes-and, upon
the rest of the people.

BRING WHEAT NOW.
Au Appeal TO Farmers From High
Transportation Authority TO Get
Busy.

Fairfax Harrison Chairman of
the Railroad war board, author
ICES the following:
I'VE are assured that tn e
price of wheat determined by the
President will be maintained
throughout the year by the Food
administration and that there
can be no objective in holding
wheat. In fact the farmer saves
interest and deterioration by
marketing early.
"At the present time the rail-
ways can handle more wheat to
storage points for ready distribu-
tion and to mills to be manufae-
tured into flour for domestic con-
sumption and expectation to our
allies, where it is much needed,
and for which ships are available
at ports. The railways wish to
appeal to the farmers to bring
their wheat to market now. Lat
er in the fall the handling of
many more products will cause
cangestion and delay. The rail-
ways are now being operated in
common to serve the entire COM
munity. The demands for move
ments of military and supplies
will be an increasing burden.
Therefore the railways must have
the cooperation of the entire
community"

No Flaw Picked.

When the commissioners of
the general assembly to the Pres
byterian Church met in Dallas,
Texas, it passed the Woman Suf-
frage resolution. as everybody
knows. Presbyterian press COM
ment on the subject says that
the boldest prophet for suffrage
did not anticipate one week be-
forehand that this body, which
had consistently turned down a
similar resolution, would think of
passing a suffrage resolution at
an assembly meeting in t he
South"
When DR.. Kendall introduced
the resolution he asked DR.. J.
Wilbur Chapman, the moderator
elect, to give ample time for dis
cussion so that if there was one
man in the audience who could
pick a flaw in the resolution he
might have his chance. DR..
Chapman waited three minutes
amid dense silence; then the vast
assembly broke into cheers and
the suffrage resolution was pass
ed by a vote of three to one.
