On February I, 1918, the Senate, then
iblican, voted to submit a one-term
tituti? i araentiment to the state leg
atures. This amendment could easily
have passed the House of Repr?sentatives,

scandals of the Taft-Roosevelt ?ampaign

? Mr, Wilson intervened and defeated
the amendment. At his request the House
committee having charge of the measure
refused to report it. Everybody in Wash?

\\ ? ? nsure Mr. Wilsoi ? ei

Baltimore platform arc largely a matter
betweei him and his fellow Democrats.
We ?I" not think he deceived many voter?
112; hie intentions even then were suf?
ficiently manifest. Ws believe it i? better
Mr. Wilson should run again, under
existing circumstances; for the country
?.ught to have a chancre to pa;--- directly
what he has done and what he has
tood for.
There is one point in th?* l'aimer letter,
however, which deserves consideration
quite apart from the question of Mr. Wil
repudiation of the single term priri
? iplo. The President ??ay-- very truly that the
? -of the Presidency have become too

make him the master of the machinery of

M . \\ ?lsoi peak- of dive ting the
l' ? dent of .-??m?- ?if his excessive power
by making him in a way responsible

ould tend t.. broaden public life in Waah?
??ton and would give new dignity and
aim to ?ervicc in Congress. It would
,.-e far better rounded am! educated
, liili?- men. It would also tend t?> lea en,
reatii g many real leaders, the chance
: .h a President now has of ?'Xtorlinfr a
renominatioi. from his own party.
\ny introduction of Cabinet rasponsi?
bility t" Congreas would ?compel a reshap?
ing of the present Federal sch?eme of gov?

Hut there i- an easiar waj to reach the

?The Supreme < ourt decided that he was
that th?' law. in fact, was "aimed nol a

thru purpose was utterly defeated
There was no lor.;-er any way of disci
plining those who put up cancer cures
tuberculosis cure*? or diabetes cures pro
vided they did not lie about the ingredi
int.- of their precioua mixture**. In th?
aae Of the cancer cure the Supreme ('ourl

that it was apparc ? of in point of estab

Um "i-oinnieiidat?i! y an?i prophetic a-pect."
The practical consequences of such nice
legal subtleties can readily be imagined.
(ir.< who shipped Crot?n water ai mineral

i?' instead of pecifying it- source lie eon?
ti :it?'d himself with labelling it a sure cure
for consumption or Brlght's diaease, the
ilaw could not touch him. because he had
confined bis lying to Miuiiierationa that
?were merely "comnieniiatoiy and pro

hope of regulating the iraffic m fraudu?
i, nt remedies wa- blasted. The quacks
..??.. a much as they pleased

contents ??f then- bottle.-- and packet?.
As soon as this important fact had been
