NOT to EXCEED 3 TERMS W. E. Cox's Own Deliberate Words Promising to Not Ask For More Than Three Terms and Saying That He would Stand By That Declaration. He Has üd Four Terms and Is Asking

A Fifih

r . In letters to the editor of the Public Press in 1909, Mr V E Cox gave assurances that he did not want more than three terms and gave this paper permission to publish the same should he'again undertake to be a candidate Now u tftrt c n the people expect of him? Here is his own words: friz: Washington, July 8, 1909. "Permit me to say that I am thoroughly in accord with what you say that I would be satisfied with three terms. "If you recall, on more than one occasion I have discussed this with you in your office and expressed these sentiments to you. The truth of the matter is I have always felt since I have been an aspirant for Congress, that three terms would suffice, so far as I was concerned. This is what I have said to more persons than you in the District, and I have never claimed that I wanted to succeed myself more than three terms. To some three or four men in the past, I have said two or three times, 'Not to exceed three terms at the most' and on this declaration I am still willing to stand. (Signed) Yotir Friend W. E. COX. Then in a letter dated two days later, Mr. Cox says: Washington, July 10, 1909. "You have by this time myjletter concurring in your fgrmer article, which in the future, should I undertake to be a candidate, you are at perfect liberty to publish. My letter to yu records my sentiments in private conversatio is, in the past year to several fellows in tne District. (Signed) Respectfully your friend, W. E. COX. What do the voters of the Third District think of Mr. Cox's promsies? Surely he has eliminated, for he is now asking for the fifth term. He will have drawn $60,000 from the public treasury when his present term expires and it is surely up to him to show that he meant what he said.

Not Born There. A Washington man, whose btrsiness had brought him to New York, took a runrfot long ago into Connecticut, where he had lived in hifl childhood. In the place where he was born he accosted a venerable old chap of eome eighty years, who. proved to be the very person the rVaiifigtonian sought to answer certain inquiries concerning the place. As tne conversation proceeded the Washington man said: "1 suppose yok have always lived around here. "Oh, no, 1 said the native ; "I wa born two good miles from here.' Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

PARIS PAWNSHOPS. Run by the 9tat, They Are a Boon to All Classes of People.

The "mont-de-piete," as the French equivalent of the pawnshop is called, is a state institution. Consequently there is not that friendly communion between the lender and the client that one sees in London. There is no "private office" where the person temporarily embarrassed for money may 6creen himself from inquisitive eyes. If you are in want of money and you have anv portable property of the value ofv3 francs or more you take it to the nearest branch office of the "mont-de-piete." The first thing that meets your gaze is a "Tiund municipal' patrolling i the pi emeat eutgide the e U süi e. With i feeling of wholesome respect for 'li- rtufje ty of the law you d ' targ room, of which one occupied by bend - a ( pry bait! nd uncomfortable one) be other bj half a dozen employees behind a counter. Having handed your property to a clerk whose desk bears the in scription, 'iJeeept. n of Articles," you receive a numbered metal check In exchange and then join the ranks of the expectant borrowers on the benches. There are all sorts and conditions 'of men and women, from the work girl who brings her Sunday hat t the great lady who brings her jewels and whose motor car is wait ing in the street. But if there is no fraternity in the "mont-de-piete" there is at least equality, and no precedence is given to wealth or fashion. When the value of your property has been estimated in another raom a clerk calls out your number and aj the amount offered, which you can accept or refuse. It is never more than half the lowest selling price of the object, as the valuer is responsible for any loss arising from unredeemed pledges. If you accept his offer your name, address and profession are taken down by another clerk, and you must produce papers to establish your identity. The interest charged is only 7 per rent per annum, and ihere is no doubt that the state pawnshops render great service to all classes of French people. Vmdon Standard.
