OUR SICK PRESIDENT.

How sick is the president? DR.. Grayson's
professional attitude toward his patient and the
public is commendable when applied to
private individual. He is also justified in his
desire to allay public apprehension as to the
exact state Of the presidents health. But it
may be questioned if he has taken the proper
course. to achieve his purpose. Mr.. Wilson is
something more than case" He is the head
of the worlds greatest government, charged d.
rectly with the performance of certain i'm
portant and imperative duties In addition, he
is leader among the leaders OF the world. For
these reasons it is not alone desirable but al
most absolutely necessary that the world be
informed as to the nature of his illness, and to
what extent it may affect him in his public ca
pacity.
This information has not been furnished, nor
can it be gained from the terse but reassuring
bulletins sent out from the sick room by the at
tending physicians. To be told that the presi
dent has had restful night, that his appetite is
good, his pulse and his temperature nomal, his
eyesight unimpaired and to have this followed
by the further statement that his recovery will
be tedious and require perfect rest for long
time does not reassure an anxious public, how
ever it may satisfy the rigidly exact code of
professional ethics.
Woodrow Wilson is president Of an hun
dred millions of loyal American citizens, who,
however widely or sincerely they may differ
with him in regard to politics or policies, yet
revere him as the chief magistrate of the ma
ton, and want to know what ails him and have
right to the information that is not forth
coming.

though it be for just one hour"
"Of course we will take you.
That's what we came for" declared
Billy.
But as quickly as it had come the
eager look died out of the girls
eyes and the sadness deepened in
her face.
"But do you think it would be per-
fectly prim and proper?" she asked.
What do you mean, perfectly
prim and proper?" demanded Billy.
"Why, perfectly prim and proper
is the way l have been raised by my
perfectly prim and proper Aunt
Prue ever since my father and
mother died when / was a small
child years ago." explained the girl
Everything i do is perfectly prim
and proper, all the books / read are
perfectly prim and proper, every

the IS years of my life In my per-

mo, because Aunt Prue says
there are so many persons there who
are not perfectly prim and proper"
sighed the girl
"And haven't you ever had any
play or fun?" asked Peggy.
What are play and fun?" asked
Penelope. They don't sound perfect
ly prim and proper-but they do
sound nice" she added.
Huh! She is 1S years old and
doesn't know what play and fun
are." snorted Billy. This prison is
worse than I thought it was. Come
with us and we will set you free!"
Free? Is that perfectly prim
and proper?" questioned the girl.
Come and see!" cried Billy.
Penelope hesitated moment.

Let All the People In.


Kansas City, Oct. l0.-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: This nation was or
ganized because of taxation with
out representation" and must not
become disorganized for same rea-
son in city, state or national affairs.
Concerning our welfare there is
nothing in the constitution to pre-
vent permanent entangling alli-
ances," but that is all the more rea-
son why the government should diff
ferentiate between war peace
treaty and an international alliance
based on permanency if possible
Nothing of this nature, to the extent
now proposed, was ever figured upon
In framing our constitutions; in fact,
Washington's mandatories on the
subject prove the contrary
Since, therefore, the two PROPOSE
tions were interviewer by the will of
few, 1t Is not representative that
they shall remain SO without the
consent of all the people. Hence,
too, IL perhaps because it would en-
barrass our present and the worlds
future to separate them at this late
day Of concluding the war peace
treaty (the first business at hand)
and the combined documents can be
made to safeguard our constitution
and institutions through amend
ments by the senate, acting upon the
voice of all the people as they, hon
estly and without partisanship, hear
it, then and then only will it be right
so to do. Otherwise all the people
must be let in to voice by their vote
to what extent they favor or disfa-
vor the proposition that reaches far
ther than the constitution provides
and beyond the rights of a few, how
ever duly elected, or of senate
tossed hither and thither in their
views, through the heat of discussion
not always open-minded nor fancy
free.
Let all the people in actively, not
in a secondary sense. The safety Of
the republic demands these things
The voter is master!

To Develop Waterpower

The country seems in fair way to get a
waterpower law from congress soon which VIII
promote development of the latent waterpower
resources so abundant in many parts OF the
country.
The house has already acted favorably upon
a bill to create a waterpower commission to be
composed of the secretary of war, the .secre-
tary of the interior and The secretary of agri-
culture and having power to issue licenses to
private concerns desiring to develop water
power on streams, and the bill with amend
ments is now before the senate with the prom
ise of its hackers that it will be pressed for pas
sage at the earliest time possible.
The bill, as it stands before the senate, is
somewhat altered from the form in which it
passed the house, but the alterations have been
in the way Of improvement of the original bifl,
as they provide for two classes of charges, in
stead OF an annual license. Under the sem
ate's amendments. the government would re-
ceiye larger return from the .waterpower
projects, which return would more adequately
reimburse the government for its expenses Of
administration. of the projects.
Congress should safeguard the rights of the
public in its waterpower legislation but it
should hasten to open up this great field for
industrial and power deveopment.-Hou Houston

THE REMAINDER.

When needs has taken
All the sour, forsaken
Fields that lazy people left
To chicory and asters;
When new, cunning masters,
Peasants, brown, unresting, left.
Find the little places
The passed-by spaces,
Where. like treasure. gentians grew,
And secret riches
Hidden in old ditches-
Cardinal flowers-flamed for a few,
When earth is combed, made use Of,
Crumbs counted, Juice of
Desert winds pressed out. nothing shirked,
Nothing wasted, weedy-
Then, the treasure greedy,
Knowing that their lode is worked,
VIII look to this unfailing,
Glowing. piercing, paling
Sky, grape-green behind wry trees:
Or where. to, west heading,
moon -canee, w-threading
Floes of cloud, cleaves dusk-blue seas!

CHAPTER III. -
Perfectly Prim and Proper.
THE screams Of the girl In the

they had begun. Rollo, the monkey,
who had frightened her by climbing
the rain water pipe and appearing
at her window, gave an anxious

Billy and Peggy.

she was frightened by the height Of
the tower and the way the frail lad

empty space.
The girl in the tower. wondrous
fair even in her chalk-white pale
ness, lay where she had fallen.
'Is she dead?" whispered Peggy.
''No. She has only tainted" an

girls eyes fiuttered open and she
sat up, looking at them with staring
eyes.

now that he knew she wasn't dead.
