There has been considerable talk of placing a statutory limitation on the presidency. Now is a good time for Congress to act in the matter.

We have so long looked upon the Constitution of the United States with respect and reverence, that we do not propose to lose our faith at this late day. No matter what new ism? mav arise.

One thing is sure, the Democratic party in national convention will declare for a revenue tariff. And just as soon as it does business will begin to hedge. See if it is not so. Revenue and low prices go together.

The convention at Chicago last week and that at Baltimore this week included regularly elected women delegates. The delegates who will announce Colorado's vote in the Baltimore convention will be Mrs. Anne Bennett Pitzer. She is the sister of Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri, and she will cast the solid vote of her state for her brother. That will be, she says, the happiest moment of her life. Women in politics are not so bad after all. But whether bad or good, she is bound to be there, and that before very many years.

These are unusual times in politics, but we propose to remain regular. The Republican party has accomplished so much in the past fifty years that we are not able at this time to see why we should abandon it. Surely it has not become wholly bad in the past four or eight years. Four years ago we were loyal to it on a platform not greatly different from the one recently adopted. The candidates on the national ticket at that time were the same as now. Mr. Taft was not our choice then for nomination, but the convention selected him and we abided by,its decision. This is the way we have always done after party conventions, and we do not know any good reason why, this year, we should change our custom.

If Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the Republican and Democratic National Conventions are the only ones in which there can be disagreement and discord he will probably be sorely disappointed. We can not imagine perfect harmony in an assembly composed of Roosevelt, Cecil Lyon, Francis J. Heney, Governor Johnson, Governor Stubbs and Gifford Pinchot. If Mr. Bryan and Senator LaFollette are added to the list the aggregation will not be more pacificatory. They are all fighters by nature and by practice. A meeting that was peaceful would be too tame for them. The bonds of union which has hitherto held them together in sympathy and action, has been that of a common enemy. Remove that source of unity and they will give the country a spectacle of fighting never before witnessed.

We do not know any citizen of the United States who has spent so much of his life in political official position as Theodore Roosevelt. Almost from the time he reached his majority he has been the beneficiary of the Republican party. These positions included the vice presidency and the presidency of the United States. Not satisfied with practically his whole mature years of existence in public office at the hand of his party, including the two highest offices of the government, he asked his party in National Convention to set aside a rule established by Washington, and respected by Jefferson, Jackson, Madison, Monroe and Cleveland, and elect him to the presidency for a longer period than any other president ever occupied that position. We think the old rule should be preserved. Eight years is long enough for any citizen to be president of the United States, we do not care how popular or how good he may be.

Children's Day at Philadelphia. The children's day services will be observed at the Philadelphia M. E. church on Sunday evening, June 30th. Everybody cordially invited to attend.
