Democratic platform OF 1912 which reads as follows;
we favor single presidential term and to that
end urge the adoption OF amendment 10 tho Con-
stituion making the President Of the United States
ineligible for reelection and pledge the candidate
Of this convention to this principle
Near the end Of his term this pledge was called to
the attention Of President Wilson and he said in effect
That he did not consrue It to pledge him not to be
didate FOR second term but that pledged the party
to the submission Of Constitutional amendment pro-
yidns for single presidential term.
At that time and since It was pointed out that the
pledge in The platform did stop with the mere decara
ton in favor OF constitutional amendment but there
was the pledge for single presidential term and the
closing clause, I'VE pledge the candidate Of this con-
sentlon to this principle
That plank put In at The suggestion OF William
Jennings Bryan who endeayored to make the clause as
specific as possible for the OF barring the nominee

A WELL.LAp PLAN.

N uRING tbs days when the Food Administration was
~ most active in rs operations the Food Admnislra-
tor Herbert Hoover called a multitude OF conferences IN
Washington for the stated purpose OF discussing various
problems which confronted the country with regard 20
food supply and distribution
Prominent men called 20 Washington from oil
parts Of the country and kept there number OF
days during which time addresses delivered before
the delegates by men prominent in the Wilson Ad-
mlnsiratlon
Il was then frequent comment from those in attend
ance at the conferences, that there evidence Of
political purpose and most people interpreted tho pur
pose TO be building up Of sentiment in behalf OF HE
Wilson Administration.
Recent developments indicate that likely the pur
pose to build up large personal following for
Mr.. Hoover himself which would be an efficient machin-
cry for the promotion OF his political ambitions at
appropriate time
This theory is strengthened by the fact that very
large number OF the people who associated with Mr.
Hoover IN these conferences and IN his Food Admnisra
ton work, politically active in behalf OF his
election TO the presidency.
Certainly no man In American history, except possibly
President Wilson himself has ever had much ready

years II publicity could make a president Mr. Hoover's
success would be assured.

ST. PATRTCK'S DAY.

Many people whose ancestors feet never touched the "owld sod,' yet wear the green ribbon on St. Pat ric's Day.
 This tribute may be due in part to the genial characteristics attribut- ed to this winsome old saint. Perhaps even more it is a tribute of friend ship for the Irish people who form so large an element in American life.
 The Irish race began coming here in large numbers some 50 to 75 years ago. The first pioneers were strug- gling young people, with no posses sion but strong hearts and willing ness to work. From that simple be- ginning they have gone on to take a very prominent place in politics and professional and business life. It has been a remarkable story of achievement. Wearing the green on St. Patrick's Day is a fitting cornpli- ment to the people who have ac- complished such an advance in a period relatively so brief.

bride was given away by Gen. sher- man.
 Lieut.. Hoxie, according to the cus- toms of that period, felt that wife's place was in the home. and that her interests should center in her husband and society. The young wife cheer fully gave up her art, and for nine- teen years made a home that was the envy of all Washington.
 But true art is something that can not be cast aside with ease or with out cost. Sickness took possession of Winnie Ream. The physicians told the husband she was going to die. "Only live, Vinnie!'' he cried, land will give you back your art" Upon hearing this agonized promise she smiled sweet1y. and from that moment she improved in a miraculous manner.
 True to his word, the husband re- modelled the home at the corner of 17th and K streets, Washington, in such a way as to provide a model stu dio, where the happy wife worked daily until her untimely death, No vember 20, 1914. Winnie Ream Hoxie rests in the Ma i tional Cemetery, at Arlington. Over 1 her grave is a bronze copy of hel statue of Sappho, one of the mos 1 beautiful of her works.

 In 1914, the ministry says, the average height of the 2SS,437 con- scripts who presented themselves for service was feet 1-2 inches. Nat urally the greatest number some 19.976, measured about the average for the whole, i. e., 5 feet inches. In 1914 only 1858 men of feet or less were passed for service, though as the war went on this number in' creased.
