No recent utterance of Woodrow Wilson has attracted more attention than his incidental remark at Phila delphla that "the President who is too intent on re-election is seldom worth reelecting." Brother Bryan evidently had the same principle in mind when he procured the insertion, in the Baltimore platform on which President Wilson was elected, of this definite resolu tion and unqualified pledge: "We favor a single Presidential term, and to that end urge the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution making the President of the United States ineligible for reelection, and we pledge the candidate of this convention to this principle." ' The candidate of that convention is President of the United States and Mr. Bryan 13 his Secretary of State. Is it impolite to inquire what they and the Democratic party in power are doing to redeem the pledge? New York Sun. PORTER Charlton has been sent to Italy, despite his desire to see America first. PROBABLY from now on the life insurance companies will list lobbying In Washington among the hazardous professions. KEEP IT DARK. Two Hammond men and their friends have at least got quite a little amusement out of the campaign just closed. "After this," John E. Fitzgerald, the distiller is quoted a3 saying to Peter W. Meyn. the financier, "I want you to stay on the other side of the street. You don't get enough money a month to suit me." Campaigners had said that Fitzgerald has an income of $10,000 a month and Peter Meyn an income of $S,000 a month. That is however but a beggarly difference of $84,000 a year. And yet the story gave the distiller some little concern. "A hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year is a lot of money," said Fitzgerald. "I only hope that the income tax levy men don't hear of this." SECRETARY Bryan's associate editor, recent events considered, will probably find it easier editing the Panama Canal than the Commoner. WILLIAM D. Haywood declares that four hours a day is enough for any man to work. But how did he find it out?

A GOOD WOMAN'S LETER. THE TIMES acknowledges the re ceipt of a letter from an East Chi cago lady last Saturday which she implored the paper to print. The communication was a bitter and scatching arraignment of an East Chi cago candidate for whom according to his personal East Chicago organ, all the women were for. We did not print the letter, for printed at the last minute of the campaign without opportunity for inveslgation, It would have been of the roorback type. The God-fearing woman who wrote it will know when she reads this that her letter was received and is acknowl edged. She will know that the worn en and children of a political candidate have some rights in this world. In the letter, now that the election is over, may be found one significant statement which should be gravely considered by the East Chicago people: Is it right that our city should be a place where wrong-doers from other places should come hence to carry on their wrong-doing and find refuge and protection here? That's a problem East Chicago will have to work out Itself. AT least the man who takes his bath on Saturday night is demonstrating that cleanliness is next to godliness. POSSIBLY President Wilson by now has revised the opinion that his Job is a lonesome one. A CELEBRATED CASE. Every little while the mysterious kid-napping of "Charlie" Ross has its echo in the newspapers, although it is now nearly fifty years since the curly haired, blue eyed boy strangely disappeared from the streets of Philadelphia. What mother has not felt a thrill of fear from that remarkable story, which is known from one end of the country to the other? Now it is Cleveland that bends the story of the finding of "Charlie" Ross. A man there says the story is true, and a woman has been located in Sayreville, N. J., who declares she can identify the long lost boy by a birthmark. Similar stories have been legion, and this one may go the way of its predecessors. Still, the mystery of "Charlie 'Rons remains one of the nation's strangest cases yet unsolved. How he was snatched from friends, his hiding place unrevealed despits fortunes spent in search, stirred thousands in the last generation as few cases of Its kind. "WOMAN'S duty is to cook the biscuits, fry the steak and spank the babies," 'asserts the Houston Post. Steak? What's that? A CUBIST camera is announced But aren't they all that way with the beginners? SENTIMENT BACK HOME. The administration has shifted its closed mind attitude on the currency bill. Weeks ago it was said there was no use in bankers or anybody else presenting their views, as the fundamentals and principal provi sions of the proposed act were not to be changed. Now we have Secretary of State Bryan advising readers of his periodical to bring pressure to bear upon their senators in favor of the .White House measure, says a Pittsburgh paper, while Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has Issued a general appeal to bankers to acquiesce in the bill and make their wishes known at Washington. So thprA is inflnencA in aanflmont iaetr (home and it is a force to be consider-

THE lot of the poor farmer Is certainly a ' hard one. Nine out of ten of them are Ob-j Hged by an unfeeling pay an income tax government to while It is a sad fact that the tiller

paired. FEDERAL commission has been appointed to devise measures to relieve the widespread unrest. Executive order from President Wilson removing the civil service bars would banish the unrest from 339,785 democratic patriots. OIL is reported to have been discovered in the Ridge road duchy. No doubt but that Big Tim. the duke of the Ridge, will need all that he can lay his hands on to settle the troubled political waters in that vicinity. NOT being satisfied with having entered occupations belonging to men some girls now want to wear those new mannish overcoats. ROMAN professor making excavations near the River Tiber reports that there was expensive plumbing in Nero's palace. This may explain why Nero acted so wildly at times. THE IXCOMK TAX. THOSE that haven't wish that they had enough so that they could pay It. Those that have sigh because they must pay It. STANDARD OIL of Indiana declared a $3,000,000 dividend last Saturday. This may erplain why Jaws D- was so generous in giving away pennies to Sunday school children. WITH a few more ship fires like the Volurno disaster the steamship lines may learn that a few firemen are as necessary on board a ship as they are around a big plant. MAYOR KNOTTS has named November is as fumigation day in Gary. This ed in helping out the administration. Why should It not be listed to also nprotest? The president meantime is represented as being willing to modify the complexion of the federal reserve board, retaining but one cabinet member ,and he will not oppose re duction of the number of reserve banks. There is a bloclrade somewhere on the line and Washington is exceedingly anxious to open it up. This is an Interesting sign. IN addition to the fact that he can't get a government job, the Democrat who shaved himself on March 4 last for the first time in sixteen years now finds that whiskers are again coming into fashion. FOR getting right down to busi-

President Wilson may mean well, but there is an economic power before which even great nations bow their heads in docile submission. And that economic pjower is not yet ready to become an apostle of the doctrine of equality, honor or unselfishness. Pittsburg Leader. In other words, the world is run on business principles and not on sentiment, and this is essentially a business age adds a contemporry. The Smoky City contemporary Ls right, but this is also a diplomatic age. ana President wuson may oe using words to disguise his thoughts. Despite his habit of dealing In glittering generalities when speaking, he has given indications of rising to the occasion when action becomes necessary. A little patience. EVEN If the war is over for the Balkan states, none of their rulers is manifesting a disposition to join any one of Mr. Carnegie's peace societies. NOT even the refusal of England and Germany to take part in the Panama-Pacific exposition has taken the "frisk" out of Frisco. OUT WEST. It behooves us to watch the signs of the times.

ONE good thing about the cold weatlver is that we don't hear so much about flimsy gowns, low-necked dresses, and open work hosiery, ALMOST time for the hot chestnut man to be putting In his appearance. But then a lot of married men who came, home late at night with the explanation that they have been attending a political meeting have been getting their supply of hot chestnuts. "ARK you curing your own pork?" asks a farmer's magazine. No. in view of the high price of the stuff we are trying to cure wifie of buying it. UP to the hour of eoine to press no wor(j coine from Father Roosevelt welcoming Brother Sulzer to the bull moose party. AFTER saving a few lives some doctors get the political bug and then they become Imbued with the idea that they are saving their country. CONDUCTOR who road on the first Pullman car is still living. But the conductor on the worst looking car running between Hammond and East Chicago is said to have died just before the war of 1812. OIL trust intersts are endangered in Mexico. This anouncenrent won't causeowners of gasoline cars to rush to the nearest enlistment offices. AFTER reading about some of the disgraceful election doings in the U. S. A. you can't blame President Huerta for telling President Wilson to keep his hands off of the Mexican situation. 'because it has been "an unassuming wooden leg, a wooden leg that commended Itself to" a 'people who hate vain show," says the Kansas City Star. "In times past Mr. Davles used to drive nails into it, on which to hang his individual drinkng cup and other personal furniture, and his plan met with public approval. But here comes from Concordia a disquieting rumor that Gomer has. pulled all the nails and coathooks and things out of it, and has taken to varnishing it, which adds to the suspicion that he is preparing to run for some office or other." NEW YORK'S CONSTITUTION. There are four proposed amendments to the state constitution being voted upon today in the cities of New York. The first relates to the method OI nxiDS compensation on private ize municipalities to condemn property in excess of the amount actually needed for public parks, streets, and places ;the second provides for -a workmen's compensation act; the third provides for an increase of two in the number of County Judges in Kings County, while the fourth refers to the preservation by the state of forest preserve lands. THERE can no longer be any doubt that John Armstrong Challoner Is sane. He has anounced that never again will he live In New York. THE worst fears of the antl-suf-fraglsts seem in. a fair way to be realized. Nine Cornell students are learning to cook. The Day in HISTORY TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HOKORS. Congressman John A. Moon of Tennessee is sixty-one, and has been prominent in Democratic circles for many years.

Dr. Louis Hough and demonstration of his "gravity treatment." Dr. Loui3 Hough, a Denver physician, announces that he has found a cur for consumption. "Gravity treatment," he calls it, and it may b takef without expense in one's own home. It consists simply in raising the foot of the bed in which the patient lies to an elevation of from 7 to 14 inches. This enables tha areas in the apex of the lungs to drain, according to the doctor. To counteract the unnatural flow of blood to the head, a pillow may be used, leaving the body on the incline.
