Such, however is far from the case. The flood has been the worst ever known in the history of the Mississippi river and in the lo'er section of the country, from New Orleans north to Yieksburg, immense damage is being done to proper ty, life is menaced daily and a great number of p"ople perhaps one hundred in all, have perish ed. It is estimated that onehun dred thousand pnrs'ns have been driven from their homes and ma ny towns are submerged. Many entire counties are covered with water and large sections ol other counties are submerged. A large army of men, state militia, vol unteers and state and govern ment officials are engaged both in the work of rrscucingmuroon. ed people and in trying to pre vent further breaks in the WeQs. The direct property los,s will a mount to many millions, to say nothing of the loss of crops, plan ted or to be planted and the lo?s of time from regulat occupations, not only for the thousands of people who have been driven from I hei1' homes but for other tlx usunds who are bending ev ery energy towards preventing further devastation und saying their own houses.

The task of supply ing food is an immense one and nothing like the amount of food needed or money to secure it has been contributed. Even the Un ited States Congress does not seem to have awaked to the great disaster that . is taking place within the borders of the country. Two or three weeks ago the house passed a bill ap propriating $-150,000 as a relief nind but this hill has notyetgot ten by the senate. And. too, the amount is entirely inadequate. It might have appeared sufficient nt the time it passed the house but no one, at that time, foie suw the great destruction that has been done. It is a great na tional disaster entirely beyond the ability of the stales concern ed, to cope with and the govern ment should give prompt assis tance. This doesn't mean that the government has not been do ing all it po-sibly could under the circumstances The war de partment has spent several hun dred thousand dolla-s in afford in"- relief.

' pruvm. ror years ine inisiuesH 10 l, of the country haye com plained of the frequency of polit ical campaigns, and their com p'aints have been rightly based on the irrouud that national campaigns are ruinous to busi ness. It will tie admitted that a four years' term does not have a tendency to bring out the best attainments of the man who '11 a y occupy the presidential chair; he has hardly settled in of fice before he is again called up on to en'er actively upon a po litical campaign for the purpose of s'-curing liis re-election. With a limit of six years placed upon him, the president ol the United States would not have to begin a scramble for another term. 'This resolution foramenament,' says the New York World, "is a protest against the unseemly spectacle" now imposed upon the nat ion of a president of the Uni ted States forcod by an amU 1 10ns demagogue to descend in to the political arena and fight like a ward politician for the cus tomary imlorsemen of his party. It is an effort to protect the dig nity of the Presidential orfiee. It is a movement to end, while con stitutional government lasts in this country, the los ol indepen dence in Hie chief executive and the abuses of patronage which recurringly attend the seeking of a second term, lt is designed to prevent hereafter the familiar scandal, now repeated, which the World's investigation ol the office-holding character of South ern delegates to Chicago brings out It is a movement which The World has advocated for many years nn l which ought to suc ceed." President Taft has already de clared himself as being heartily in favor of the proposed constitu tional amendment, and it is rea sonable to suppose that Colonel Rooseyelt. however much he may favor a third term, will hardly voice an opinion against achange which is endorsed in all quarters. It is true that Mr. Roosevelt has shown little or no regard for the constitution, but by opposing the present movement he would plainly admit one of the main charges made against him that his greatest ambition is self-perpetuation in power.

One state's roads in the rural free de- lively of mails hut, obviously, one what the room was being to encourage tiie building andlusedfor. How long it had 'oeen maintenance of good highways, lt has been pointed out by the critics of the Shackellord amend ment that the rural free delivery system already imposes a heavy deficit upon the postal depart-Uf ment, and that, within itself, the system is such a great blessing to the people that it should not be burdened with a road tux. To this objection there are two answers. In the first place, it is not neces-nry that the R. F. I) service should be a drain upon the treasury. On tho contrary, if lightly conducted, it should net the department a handsome sur plus over the cost its ol opera tion. As matters now are the ru ral delivery carls or buggies jog over the country roads, almost empty. But suppose we had a parcels post; 'they would then curry liberal loads on many, if not most of I heir trips nnd the government, as well as the peo ple, would profit. Tiie truth is the deficits in the p-istal dep irt ment arise from the fact that the department is forever repejpnj business instead of trying to at tract it. Let the rural routes be made paying instead of losing propositions, nud the govern ment will find it easy to meet the requirements of the Shackelford amendment. But, ns we have indicated, the purpose of this amendment is simply to secure, in this particu lar way, federal assistance in the development of public roads The merit of such a claim can scarcely be disputed. The government has appropri ated millions of dollars to the improvement of rivers, the con servation of forests and to diyers other causes in which the nation r is t ightly interest!. But to t tie j one great enterprise in which all : the peop'o of all the s'ates are : vitally concerned That of good i roads it has not allotted a p mi-j ny. This is a short-sighted poli- j cy, for, upon the development of highways depends very largely j the progrcHs of agriculture, com-1 merce, education and other in-; terests that underly thecouu-; try's welfare. j It would Bin prise y-"u to know oi : the great good that is being done j !v hamberlain's 'Tablets, D.irius Downey, of Nevvberg Junction, N- I B., writes, ,-My wife has been us ing Chamberlain's Tablet and finds them very efhectual and d;ing her j lots of geod.
