Third Term Again.
In bis auto biography chapter In
tho current Outlook former President
Roosevelt talka frankly about his
anti-thlrd-term proclamation, and his
aubxequent interpretation of it to
permit of a third term If not consecu
tive. He says that when be issued
tha statement on that election night
In these words, 'The wise custom
which llmlta th0 president to two
terms regards the substanco and not
the form, and under no clrcum
stances will I be a candidate for or
accept another nomination," he bad
a two-fold reason for the choice of
the exact phraseology used. Ho
meant, first, to answer tho argument
that bo waa just chosen to his first
electlvo term becauso his succession
upon the death of President McKln-
Icy had not been by election, and,
second, be did not specify that he
Would not be a candldato In 1008
lest it might be accepted as lndl
eating an Intention to be a candidate
some other year. And he adds
had no Such Intention, and had no
Idea that I would ever bo a candidate
again." v
Tho "wholesome principle" of
continuing a capablo incumbent In
offlco Indafinl'cly, bo declares, is not
appllcablo to the presidency on ac
count of tho tremendous power which
can be affectively used to secure a
renomlnatlon, but It has "no applies
tlon whatever to an ex-presldont, and
no application whatever to anything
oxcopt consecutive terms."
Tho remainder of the discussion of
the third trm is a statement of un
equivocal opposition to putting any
limit in tho constitution on tho
ground that a domocracy should be
froo In time of real national peril
to command the services of every
ono among Its citizens in tho precise
position wbero tho service rendered
will be most valuable." Strangely
esougk, however, the particular ex
ample- cited combats hla own argu
ment against a third consecutive
term by declaring that It would have
been a vcrltablo calamity if tke
Aaerlcaa people were forbidden to
continue tka services of Abraham
Lincoln If the crisis confronting them
at the close of k's first term bad oe
earred at the end of his second term.

Journey of our national destiny
"our mission of tke establishment
and' maintenance, of essential and
vital domocracy," as Joseph Ernost
McAfee .puts it in his "Foreign Mis
sions From tho Home 13 mo," to sea
that 'government of the people, by
tho pepplo and for the people shall
not porlsh from tho earth.' "
What Is the uentlal difference
in spirit and logio between the
prayer of the British bigot and that
of tha smug patriot of today, who,
boasting; or citizenship In tho "beat
country on earth," would close tho
door of opportunity to bis follow
roan from over the seas coming to
gain and share that clUxenshlp? The
church doea well to rouse itself to
tho,ituatlon, for while sending thou
sands of men and women and mil
lions of dollars to extend its mission
abroad, It would convict itself of ar
rant inconsistency not to aolze the'
Opportunity of helping those from
abroad who have come to Its very
doors. The Macedonian cry from
flurope brought Paul from Asia, but
here the order is reversed: the Mace
donians are coming to the apostles.
And these Immigrants of tho twen
tieth century are as worthy aa were

centuries. 8ays Tho Continent;

tha Italians added new grace to tha na
tional life and the Bohemians and Potea
and Hungarians furnished to American
fiber at fresh xuggedneaa and so on
through all tha call of the peoples?
The boat of it Is that such leader
ship finds response. Men of all
creeds, and none, are beginning to
appreciate their personal reeponslbll
Itles and their nation's duty. Men
of large Interests and small are In
vesting timo and money In rudlmen

guago and surround them with

ences.
fluch a privilege of service is a fit
object of thanksgiving.
OfficiaJ Leniency and Speeding.
It Is difficult to ctxcrclso patlenco
In dealing with such a disastrous au
tomobile accident as occurred at Fit
tcenth and Farnara streets, it was
n grim fulfillment of warning predic
tions repeatedly mado by The Bee.
Tho setting was Idoal for Just what
happened, the only wonder being that
more persons wore not killed or In
jured. At a timo when peoplo are
going homo from thedr work, tho
busy corner was crowded and the
auto, driven recklessly, dashes up,
encountering a moesonger boy on his
wheel. In trying to dodge the boy
after it is too late, tha chauffeur
sends his machlno crashing into the
sidewalk, hurling victims here and
there.
Police Commissioner Ryder admits
that too much leniency "may have
been shown" in tho past to reckless
chauffeurs. Tho fact Is, It the ordi
nances regulating automobiles had
ever been anywhere near earnestly
enforced such accidents would, to say
the least, bo less likely to occur. Only
a few days ago a similarly shocking
tragedy happened pn the Dodgo
street road beyond the city" a Jurisdic
tion,' whero autolsta also violate tha
speed limit laws with Impunity. How
many such casualltiee will it tako td
bring us to our senses?
Ho New Year's Reception.
President Wilson's decision not to
bold a New Year's reception at the
Wbito House sets asido one of the
oldest social customs of the nation
and the most democratic of all. Yet
If it must be sacrificed to give htm
relief from continuous aad arduous
tell, it wili be muck better for hire
aad tke country's business, ao doubt
thaa weald be tke fatlgalag taste et
etaadlag aad skaklag hands wltk
tkeueaade of people tkat day. Evea
tkat, however, will kardly prepare
many for tke aaddea displacement
ef tkla eld custom se scrupulously
practiced ky succeeding presidents,
It has keen a wkoleseme custom, toe,
la tkal it affords a notable point ef
Personal contact feetwee' tha nannta
aad their chief magistrate, some
thing not easy to give up in a coun
try like ours..
On tho other hand, there is muck
to bo considered. Continuously since
bis Inauguration in March- President
Wilson, none too rugged in physique,
bos been under extra strain and
needs a rest, ten days of which he
says he can get during tho Christ
mas period. Whllo we may be
solicitous, of our traditions, they
would mean llttlo to us unless they
subserved tke eads of wisdom. One
thing is of supremo importance'
the health pt tke president. It may
seem, indeed, ratbor anomalous for
It to fall to thU particular adminis
tration to overturn thiirinoat deanp
cratk of all oat1 social forma at
Washtagon, but this, ia a day et
diminishing stress on established
customs, with democrats aa well as
others, Then, perhaps, by another
year tho president may feel equal to
the task and reinstate the recoptlon
under reasonable limitations.
Pay of Pullman Porters.
Tho California Stato Railroad
commission has taken official cognl-
zanco Of the fact that a lanra nart
of tbe wages of Pullman porters ta
paid in gratuitous tips by the trav
eling public and proposes remedial
action. ' This ia vary Interesting to
every porson who has occasion to
travel, for none escapes the extra,
toll levied for the bonoflt of the
company's employes, rather also for
tho company, which thus abltta the
burden from Itsojt to tho public.
Surely it this question comes into
direct contact with official scrutiny
it will fall of its own weight, for
tnere is not tho slightest Justifies
tlon for the prevailing system. The
common carrier and not the passen
ger Is responsible' for the employes'
pay. The traveler Is already suf
ficiently charged for the service
both of the diner and the sleeper
without being compolled to donate
a good shore of the omploye's wages
to save the company. No compul
sion? Watch your neighbor in the
opposite or adjoining seat refuse the
tip and seo what happens.
But the porter and tho waiter are
not the ones to blame. They have
been educated up by the company to
beliove that this Is their right and
they come by It honestly. It Is to
be hoped tho California commission
may succeed in establishing a
precedent which will have to be fol
lowed elsewhere and bring the
needed relief.
The Jobber's Side of It.
In tho general effort to unload
upon someone else the responsibility
for the so-called high cost of living
It Is natural that each factor in tho
movement, from the raw material
starting point to the consumption oi
th- flnl.hH nr.,M .a
the finished product, should come
fortn with excuses or Justification.
The Jobber's side of it has lately
been presented by Forrest Crlsscty,
drawing bis inspiration chiefly from
- -
grocery Jobbing, although what he
says doubtless applies In a mcasary
to other lines.
That the Jobbers contribute to the
value of the goods bandied, which
the consumer afterward nava for. 1
real and substantial, is made clear
by him. While they are primarily
wholesalers in the sense of buvinr
and shipping ia large quantities, and
selling to retailers la smaller ouaa
titles, in the grocery business, for
example, they are also importers,
storers and preservers of food, and
there are backers, sorter and reno
vators; they equalize tke seasonable
supplies; they enable the retailers to
buy on credit and carry a variety of
stock they otherwise could not han
dle, They perform all those serricnx
because they can do them better and
cheaper, and to eliminate the Jobber
would by no means Insure a lowering
or prices
The business of th inhhm. m.t.f
be closely allied with the railroad
distributing center. What makes
Omaha the great Jobbing point it Is,
Is the network of radlatinr railroad.
Every enlargement of tributary terri
tory neips build up ths Jobbing In

people directly or indirectly servM.
but In a large way sharing with them
tiie mutual benefits.
ftveeats' Military Camps.
Success of tke exBerlmeatal mill
tary camps' fer tke instruction ot
students ef colleges, UBlverattles and
senior classes at high schools, inau
gurated under tke auspices ef the
federal War departmeat last summer
at Monterey, Cal aad Gettysburg,
Pa., has determined the department
on tne wisdom of repeating thom

While) the primary object ot thMa

General Leonard Wood points .out

natural time for annual recreation at
nominal 'sums. Only those students
are admitted wke are up in their

It Is to be exnected that uima whn

HIS SIMPLE CREED.
' B. A. Guest In Detroit Frea Preaa
He didn't have much of a creed.
And his doctrine was not very deep;
Hla faith wasn't one he could read
In volumes expensive or cheap.
He helped all who asked when ha could,
Ho comforted all when they grieved.
Ho believed In the right and the good,
And he lived up to what he bejleved.
lie didn't hive much of a creed,
Hla doctrine was almplo and plain.
But he seemed to havo, all that we need
To balance lire a pleasure ana pain.
He wasn't a fellow to shirk
With burdens that could be relieved.
He believed 'twas his duty to work,
And ho lived up to what be believed.
He put out his hand hers and there
To succor the weak and distressed,
And when, he had burdens to bear
He bore them by doing his beat
He refilsed to tako profit or gain
That was won by another deceived.
He believed In a life without ataln
And he lived up to what he believed,
I reckon when tolling Is o'er, i
And all our struggles are through.
When no one needs help any more.
And uiere, are no gooa aeeas to do,
When the last ot life's dangers ta braved.
And tha Judgment of all Is begun.
Not by what we believed we'll be saved,
But by what through believing, we've
done.
