URGED TO
SAY He WILL NOT
RUN THIRD TIME
No Decision as to When Presi-
dent viii Make Statement
Although 1t Is Known He
viii Not Be Candidate.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Correspondent Of The News
Scimitdr.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. president
is being urged to say publicly
that he win not be a candidate for re-
election, but just when he will do so is
something which he alone can decide.
He has arrived at no decision as yet.
Publication locally OF a story TO the
effect that Mr., Wilson would make such
a p"ronouncement E.. the Jackson day
dinner Of the Democrats on Jan. drew
no direct denial at the White House,
except that officials there gave the inn
preston that, If such an announcement
were made, It would hardly be at the
Jackson day dinner.
There we're sundry remarks made,
too, about the Improvement in the pres
ident's health, to The general effect that
Woodrow Wilson WAS ny no means un-
able to make the ace for "a third term
II he cared to do 20.
This, however,, is unquestionahly only
a reflex of a certain sentiment that has
held sway in executive quarters, 10 the
effect that it would be unwise for the
president to make any statement about
the matter Of d third term because Of
the distintdgratioR OF his Influence
which might follow.
Until tho treaty and league Of fadons
is disposed Of by the senate, for IN
stance, II Is reckoned wiser for Mr..
Wilson to maintain silence about the
future, no matter how much the vari-
Gus asptrantS may be clamoring for a
statement from Mr.. Wilson that would
be the release signal, so to speak, for
their presidential boorus.
Candidates Going Ahead.
on the other hand, several Of the
Democratic aspirants to the presidency
are going Shead. regardless OF any
statement from the White House, III
fact, it is so widely accepted among
the Democrats that Mr., Wilson will not
run for q third term that the only thing
that is awaited wftll tense interest is
what MIR. Wilson may choose to say
about the type Of man Who should be
given the standard or the Democratic
party In the next campaign.
It IS confidently expected that Mr..
Wilson viii blaze the way with a state
ment of principles which he himself
| considers fundamental-iu this day aud
age. On the other hand, it Is very
likely that the president Will not take
| any part himself in the nomination con

From a True Friend Of
~ the Indian.
: by G. W. Grouse, Phoenix, Ari-.
ZOna,)

zona,)
1t is q close kin to an insult to
an Indian to require him to sing
my Country, IT'S of Thee, Sweet
Land OF Liberty, OF Thee l Sing, -
then forever withhold that liberty
or freedom from him.
How would the Mr.. Commits
Esioner feel if he were forced to
sing such commendable patriotic
songs, look pleasant, and say he
liked it, If he had the true
American spirit in him he would
| resent, since he knows that such
action causes the Indian heart to
lie. But Indians are like other
humans-on account of their obed-
fence to those in authority, by &C
cidcnt or otherwise, they form
habits~ and habit is thing done
without much thought or feeling;
they respect teachers, preachers,
superintendent, commissioners,
etc, for in these they recognize
authority not granted them by the
Indians, out by white people who
have mistaken notion of real
kindness or helpfullness. We
recognize the fact that there thous
ands of ignorant but honest white
people, who really desire to help
the Indians. Any scheme of civil
lization that withholds freedom or
liberty is a bad one, and any plan
Of civilization and Christianization
that does not imply or require
Sacrifice is a false one. Success
means sacrifice. When we give
IN Indian, or any other race,
something Of value for nothing,
we cause HIM IT, be careless, shift
