Governor Wilson is thoroughly dem-
jocratic in spirit. He recognizes that
all of the people are entitled to equal
opportunities and appreciates that the
I development of all of the people is
! essential to the attainment of Amer-
ican ideals. He understands the dan-
gers Incident to the control by a few
'of our industries and finance. He sees
" that true democracy and social justice
are unattainable unless this power of
the few be curbed and our democracy

whetted hi desire for ore a.id as t-?
terms slipped away each renewal
would discover greater injury to our
constitution to the form of govern-
ment established under it and to every
legal curb on his imperious will. This
is the man who menaced us with an
increase of federal power by usurpa-
tion of stale's rights and without au-
thority of constitutional amendment:
the man who took the Isthmus of Pan-
ama "and let congress debate about it
afterwards;" the man who having
enough money to sed the fleet on its
famous cruise to the Pacific sent it
without sanction of congress leaving
it to appropriate the money for the
return when congress deemed that nec-
essary. This is the man who advocat-
ed federal incorporation for the in-
crease of power at Washington and
the lightening of legal burdens on the
corporations; the man who authorized
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
Iron company by the Steel Trust;
the man who by many such drastic-
acts and by unnumbered words has
sought to batter down our statutory
and constitutional safeguards.
He who runs may read the danger
that threatens the country ruled by
such a man. Do we envy Mexico ber
thirty years of wedded life or the war
the divorce from Diaz precipitated
the end of which no mar. may proph-
ecy? The way to prevent a life series
of terms is to prevent the present at-
tempt to capture the office for a third
term. One of our opportunities in this
campaign is to lea dthe fight against
a third term. That opportunity should
appeal to every drop of patriotic blood
flowing in our veins.
Unquestionably we have been wrong
in assuming that a tradtion against a
third term constitutes a sufficient safe-
guard against unscrupulous ambition
for unlimited power. We need a
definite constitutional limitation which
shall prevent imperialistic souls from
forcing personal continuation in office
for long periods or for life and the
personal selection of a successor in
office. And the constitutional provi-
sion should go one step further than
our recently assailed tradition. The
provision should limit to a single term.
Then will the occupants o fthe office
have before them but the one ambition
so to fulfill the great trust reposed in
them that upon retirement they shall
hear from a grateful people the com
mendation: "Well done thou good and
faithful servant." Alton B. Parker.

Tickled Buffaloes.
How a Yankee railroad man once
tried to protect telegraph poles in
western Kansas from the buffalo and
signally failed is related by H. J. Bar-
li?r a pioneer of pawnee county:
"Early settlers remember that for
ii'.iles you could see a white polished
! pjt on every telegraph pole whero
I -iffalo had scratched their shaggy
'side when tormented by buffalo
nats. I was told that many poles
v-jre broken by the vast army of
-atchlng animals. A certain rail--o-wl
official who lived In Boston
vhere the shoes were made bought
all the - pegging awls on the market
and had the section men drive them
!::!o the posts until they look like
;'.tnt cacti.
"Tee herds came and saw and con-
quered. They fought for flrRt place
at the poles and tickled their mangy
hides with the awls which were
I'roken by the Joyful bu'ls that still
tched on the remnants nntll the
poles fell. Needless to say the re-
tailing awls were withdrawn from
service at once."

Towns Without Taxes;
It was recently reported from Ger-
many that there was a little town
within the empire in which there were
no taxes. The town possessed bene-
'actlons the revenues from which en-
r.bled it to pay its way without the In-
tervention of the tax gatherer.
K'ance never likeg to be outdone by
anything German so a Paris contem-
porary hag set Itself the task of find-
ing a parallel Something more than
:. parallel has bee n discovered for not
only are there no taxes but the tim-
ber on the communal lands are suffi-
cient to grant each person a gmafl an-
nuity. This happy land is Montmar-

tors In the hamlet so to avoid any
thing like rivalry the seven return
themselves to the local council.
Cutting down the teg and 'selling
them is sufficient to provide a liveli-

PURE WATER FOR THE BOILER
Weitern Railroad in the Future Will
Safeguard the "Health" of Its
Locomotives.
A western railroad has an official
"water doctor" on its list of officials
whose duty it Is to see that the loco-
motives of that road are supplied with
pure "drinking" water suitable to the
nature of the Interior of the engines.
Locomotives have persistent attacks
sf "dyspepsia" which tost the railroad
considerable money.
It seemg that all waters have more
or less of two kinds of mineral salts
Incrustlng salts and alkali salts. These
salts clog up the boiler very quickly
and make it necessary to have the
boiler "blown off" frequently and now
and then taken out of service and
washed. Both the blowing out and the
lay-offs mean a loes of money.
By the liberal use of soda ash
through certain chemical processes
the salts can practically be eliminated
from the water. As the waters vary
at different points the treatment must
also vary but this railroad Intends to
have the water at every point "cured"
so that It will be suited exactly to lo-
comotive consumption.
The cost of the treatment will be
about seventeen dollars an engine
each year but it is estimated that the
saving o.i each engine on account of
the "cured" water will amount to more
than $400 a year

had been bis great wish to see New

country "which" he says "is so real
and unsentimental" knowing that the
experience must be a wholesome an
tidote for an overweight of feeling and
that In New York one might relax

discovered by this time that "unsen-

May Build Line Across Sahara.
The dormant project of a railwav
across the Sahara haB been actively
revived A French commission charg
ed with the task of ascertaining the
most favorable route landed at Algiers
and proceeded to the southern ter-

road Colomb-Bechar whence a march
across the desert was to be underta-
ken. The party Is led by Captain Nie
ger of the colonial Infantry.
Commercial Politics.
Commerce forms a numerous class
friends of external peace and Internal
tranquillity who attach themselves to
the established government.
It creates great fortunee which in
republics become the origin of the
most forceful aristocracies. As a rule
commerce enriches the cities ?ud
their inhabitants and Increases the
laboring and mechanical cl sses In
opening more opportunities for the
acquirement of riches. To an extent
it fortifies the Democratic element
In giving he people of the cities
greater influence In the government.
It arrives at nearly the same result
! ' impoverishing the peasant and land
. ncr by the many new pleasures of-
'ored him and by displaying to him
the (-'ntHtlon and voluptuousness of
luxury and ease. It tends to create
bards of mercenaries rather than
those capable of worthy personal serv-
ice. It introduces Into the nation
luxury ease and avarice at the
time as labor Harnave.
Fortunately Cars Were Moving at a
Slow Rate of Speed and Accident
Wae Avoided How the Ralls
Are Replaced.
Several years ago a work train with
TOO men aboard was running un
der slow orders
across a bridge
over the South
Canadian river in
Texas. Sixty feet
of track at the
end of the bridge
"kicked" under the
middle of the
train. Luckily the
train was stopped
in a moment. But
It could not pull
past the kick.
The train had to
be cut In two and
the track repaired
In order that It
might proceed.
Another time a kick on the same rail-
road threw a laborer and a handcar
loaded with ties from a bridge Into the
river below
On a strip of track through the
Rocky mountains where the track
once was laid during the last days of
winter and not used again until the
snow had disappeared four places
were discovered where the rails on
account of the expansion from heat
bad been thrown clear off the bank.
What is known as a "kick-up" may
be looked for on a long stretch of
down grade where the track however
straight and well ballasted It may be
passes over a slight elevation or
knoll. The creeping and sun expan-
sion has caused the rails to move down
hill and Jam together at the knoll.
Thery the strain finally becomes too
great and up In the air goes the track
sometimes as high as two feet above
the ballast.
On taking the creep out of a track
the men start at the top of the grade
or incline where the Joints are the
farthest apart. The spikes are pull-
ed from the plate slots and with a
heavy section of rail as a battering
ram the rails are driven back until
there is no longer play for the bolts
in the oblong plate holes. In a short
time as the work progresses there
may be a four or five-Inch gap in the
track. The workmen now throw back
into line the curve at the bottom of
he grade and tbe gap Is closed.
Kicks are repaired by taking out a
rail throwing the track into line and
then cutting the rail to 01 the gap and
no matter how carefully engineers
may study this problem there are no
better Judges as to he the expansion
and contraction should be guarded
against In laying the rails than the
old section foremen with their years
f experience in the actual work.
