The President as Party Leader.

= ; H
Many of the Presidents friends in
Congress have a high regard for his
judgment. They consult him freely. not
only about legislative matters, but other
matters. Some of the consultations are
open, and become widely known, as in
the case of the suffrage. just decided
by the House. Others are more quietly
conducted.
The President is. very accessible on
such scores. 1t is said of him that he
declines no requests of this kind; that
he listens with patience and replies with
promptness; that no subject proves un-
interesting to him, and that he shows
familiarity with all public issues.
And yet the President has never had
a days experience as legislator. In
deed. until about seven years ago he was
almost unknown in politics. He had
never until mentioned for the governor.
ship of New jersey aspired to politi-
cal Office. After leaving school he ad-
dressed himself for brief time to this
Law, and then returned to the academic
shades as teacher. And it was at
Princeton University. over which he
was then presiding, that politics found
him and called him forth. Since then
he has known only politics. =
How diligently he has addressed him
self to the game is shown by his pres.
enc position and activities. He is the
leader Of his party, and has more and
newer questions in hand than any party
lexder Of recent years. Some of his
ieutenants have seen much longer serv-
lee and greater variety Of service, than
he3 but they rely upon him as though
heswere the veteran and they recent re-
eruits.
4, As is well known-it is boast Of his
friends-the President was very promi-
ne1t in the management Of his cam
pafsn for reelection. There were vete-
rams at his side, and others at his COM
mand; but the more difficult problems
were aput up to" him. Reports were
msde to him, and he gave them the nee
esAry attention. His decisions were, Of
course, accepted, and, though by a very
close SHAVE" he won out.
In political circles it is thought very
likely that the Presidents judgment will
aargely influence his party in the COM
ing congressional campaigns. They viii
be of much importance to him. Natu-
rally, he wants another democratic Con-
gfess, both for the forwarding of his
domestic policies, and for effect in 1920.
Fol, even If he IS not himself his party's
candidate then, he VIII be interested in
the democratic nominee, and desirous of
seeing him make the race with every
sdsantage accruing from full party con-
trol and undiminished party prestige.

HOLY LAND WELCOMES MULE
Why Meek and LowIy Quadruped Has
Been Received With Favor in
Ancient Palestine.

One of the innumerable blessings
that the war has brought to enfran-
chised peoples is the American mule
that the British army took-or that
took the British army-to Palestine.
The Turks had robbed the farmers of
the Holy L md Of all the customary live
stock and the work animals were
replaced by mules purchased from the
BritOnS.
1t is a great thing for the farmers
of that historic but not huStling land
TO come in contact with the energetic
when he feels like it--American
mule. No matter whether the mule
is at work or at play, he will keep
his owner busy. The mule is at once
occupation, entertainment and i,.Siruc-
zion. He will hustle the East" with
out mourning the penalty MIR Kipling
laid down as inevitable for occideni-
ais who attempt that performance.
1t will be a great thing for the mule,
TOO. There in the Bible lands he has
helped redeem from the heather and
will help to make blossom again like
the rose. he may, in a picturesque and
soothing environm mt. reflect, MS is his
philosophic wont, upon the meanings
Of all things made and rejoice in his
own peculiar blessings.

mo, Tex, by MeSican soldiers com
manded by Santa Ana. This occurred
in March, 1896, during the war for
Texan independence. The fort. occu-

Colonel Travis Of Alabama, was sur
rounded and besieged by a superior
force Of MeIicans under Santa Ana,
and after a bombardment lasting sew
eral days was carried by storm and
every survivor in the fort was shot.
The Mexican loss during the siege had
been very heavy. The heroic fight the
Texans had made gave rise TO a slo-

WHY 60
Anputations After Battle
Are Fewer

Under improved conditions Of the
treatment of wounds OF the exrremities
and the minimizing of infections, ann
putations are comparatively rare now
adays. II is comforting Tact that
hand in hand with the diminution IN
the number of amputanons the quail

have greatly increased.

crosby will see that no soldier who can
use one to advantage fails to obtain
one.
AS a result of grouping together a
large number of cases of amputations,
as in the Maison Blanche, just outside
of Paris, opportunities have been given
TO study the conditions which give use
TO unsatisfactory stumps From this

the recognition that a stump, like any
other muscle, is the better for exercise,
and it is essential for patient to be-
gin wearing a temporary leg at the
earliest possible moment. just so soon
as the wound is healed. The patients
morale is also greatly aided by this pro-
cedure.
Professor Depage has devised very
clever and cheap leg which he makes
his patients wear and entirely forbids
the use of clutches, the patient being
made TO walk very much as one learns
to swim, by being pushed off the dock.
