THIRD TERM TALK
Pres. Wilson Possible Third Term

Talk about President Wilson as a
possible third term candidate is a topic
of lively interest in Washington again
as n result of his speaking tour of the
west, which begun yesterday. The trip
is likely 70 have n far-reaching effect
on the first primaries. which are on
ly seven months distant. In all prob
ability IL will develop something def
mite as to the Democratic programme.
In consequence all the potential pos
sibilities for the Democratic nomina-
tion have their ears and eyes wide open
for the first inkling as TO the presidents
intentions. They believe that somehow,
somewhere along the line. Mr.. Wilson
will let his political thoughts be known,
so that the ball can be sent rolling in
preparation for the primaries. They
are getting anxious over the failure to
get started with the preliminary organ

"Fermin passed by the door of
the structure called the TGbernGcle-
an ovakshaped pavilion with a glass
skylight, situated next to the main
building that harbored the counting
room and the shipping Office. The
Tabernacle contained the choicest
products of the concern. A row of up
right casks bore upon their oaken
paunches the names of famous wines
thatwereu used only forbottling liquids
that glittered with all the varied
shades of gold, from the reddish splen-
dor of the sunbeam to the pale, vel
vety CLEAN of old jewels; wines of
gentle fire which. imprisoned in glass
dungeons, were destined to be poured
out in the misty atmosphere of Eng
land, or under the boreal splendors of
the Norwegian sky. At the rear Of the
pavilion, opposite the door, doomed the
giants of this silent, motionless as
sembly-the TWeIve Apostles, enor-
nous casks of carved oak, as highly
polished as if they were the costliest
of furniture; presiding over them was
the Christ, a cask adorned with oak
strips fashioned to represent vine
branches, similar to the Bacchic bas-
relief of an Athenian sculptor. Within
its hoops slept veritable tidal wave
of wine-thirty-three botGs about
Alps gallonsl, according to the firms
records-and the colossus, in its i'm
movability, seemed to be proud of its
blood, which was enough to deprive
an entire population of its senses. =,

He also explains the order Of La
Bodega among Ibanez's novels.
Written in 1903, he says, the book
is the third Of series in which the
novelist attacks important questions
of the day. The Shadow of the Cattle
drdl dealt with the influence of the
Catholic Church and medieval gov
ernmental methods on Spain. The In
truder (El Intruso) had the Jesuits
as its principal theme. La BOdegG is
written around the wine industry.
The Horde (Ld Hordo) directly fol-
lowed it.
Those who expect to find in La
Bodega an indictment of the use of
wine will be disappointed, disagree
ably or otherwise. Wines abuse by
the working classes, perpetuating ig-
norance and poverty and enabling
men Of property to exploit the poor,
is what impresses Ibanez.
1t has never been settled whether
drink is the curse of the working
classes or whether work is the curse
of the drinking classes. Ibafiez evil
IDENTIFY thinks the first. Sam Blythe
used to argue the second. Sam may be
the profounder thinker; but La Be-
dega is in Ibahez s most plausible and
incisive vein. All these people Of his
pages who work for a near-living were
evidently born to be lit up. Their en-
ployers are no better, probably worse.
They spend their lives uncorking bot
ties that the workers have corked. The
worker drinks to forget drudgery and
debt; the master drinks to drive the
spectre of Bolshevism over the TIRES
hold. Maybe, after all, the "social

Iona; influenza in horrid array
1banez in twenty novels; corps Of
translators; and Ell Rey Alfonso sit
ting ON the beach at San Sebastian or
talking economics with Frank A. Van
derlip.
All of these, to be sure; but it is
doubtful if any of them matter much
except Ibanez To read the man is to
turn the skull into diorama of mod
ern Spain. Colossal and sinister
shapes shadow the pages of his novels.
The air is hallueinated. Unlikely per-
sons talk with passionate vision of So
cjal Utopias. Meanwhile the bull
fighter treads in red and gold the
sand of the arena and the great lady
yields herself to him the while she
seorns him. Meanwhile the peasants
besot themselves with liquor and the
workers of the city stew in ignorance
and cruelty. 1t is not pamphleteering,
either. 1t is, nearly always, transcend
ant art. The novelist paints what he
sees no man can do more and none
should do less.
Of course Ibanez is a revolutionist
of a subdued magenta hue. He rises
to powerful prose only under the lash
of furious hate The hate does not
mist over his eyes. He would regen-
crate Spain if he could, or have it
achieve self-regeneration, and turn the
corridas, or bullfghts, into labor
forums. All kinds of ideas and all
sorts of problems simmer and boil in
the watts Of his brain. And yet he isn't
a moralist, nor an uplifter, nor phil
istine, nor a pacifst, nor vegetarian
1--WE will venture) nor an Irish Chau-
tauqua, like George Bernard Shaw.
Take his art as a novelist away from
him and he might read like William

Winston Churchill.

on where you are, anything from
wineshop of the respectable, food serv-
ing, family type to low tavern or

warehouse in the other 1t is the wine
warehouse that Ibanez's book and
title allude to. This is the sort

find in the district of Spain about

IbaneZ and Old Sherry
Without Becoming The Four Horsemen of the Deum Tremens
la Bodega Puts Over Clearly the Idea That Wine Is Robber

IN the mlQdle Oh the IG0erndcte,
upon round table, were ranged In
circle all the bottles of the firm,
from the almost fabulous wine-a CEN
fury old-which is sold at thirty
francs for the stormy celebrations of
archdukes, grand dukes and worldly
celebrities, to the popular sherry that
grows to a sad old age in the show
windows of restaurants and helps the
poor man in illness. -.
"The blender was an old man, who
seemed to have been inflated by the
atmosphere in which he lived. His
skin, fretted with wrinkles, glistened
with an everlasting moisture, as if the
volatilized wine had penetrated
through all his pores and were trick
ling down the edge of his mustache in
the form of tears.
"The luminous golden wines spar
killed. in the air, crowned with Jewels
as they were poured into the glass,
filling the atmosphere with an intense
odor Of antiquity All the shades OF
amber, from soft gray to pale yellow,
glittered in these fluids, as thick as
oil to the sight, yet Of a glistening
transparency. A faint exotic perfume,
which summoned to thought fantastic
flowers of supernatural world, rose
over the liquids extracted from the
mystery of the casks. Life seemed to
expand upon tasting them; the blood
began to burn, bounding more quickly
through the veins; the sense of smell,
quickened to unknown desires, grew
excited as if scenting a new elec-
tricity."
With no wish to harrow the sensi-
bilities of those to whom tomorrow
may be doomsday, it is almost neces-
sary-and surely desirable-to repro
duce these descriptive fragments from
the first chapter of La Bodcga. They
show, as nothing at second hand could,
the splendor of Ibanez's prose, which
is not only poetic but profoundly
imaginative without in the least de-
parting from its character of a faith
full transcription of things present 20
the five senses.

many wildly drawn, are the Marquis
de San Dionisio, a luxurious old
debauchee who riots over the country

ascetic reyolutionist, a much wander
ing and much imprisoned Ulysses of
the social rebel type. Well, no hardly
that. He is too pale, too meek, too
mild, too pitiful; Salvatierra felt his
anger disappear; faith and hope were
returning, Ibanez tells us at tho
close of the book. That close is very
striking in its final paragraph, en-
bOdying the hopeful dream and ulti-
mate faith of neutrality-suspicious. Of
