Wilson may choose to say about the type of man who should be riven tne; standard of the -Democratic party in the next campaign. It Is. confidently expected that Mr. Wilson will blase the way with a state ment, of principles which he himself con siders fundamental in this day and age. On the other hand, it is Very likely that the president will not take any jart himself tn the nomination contest- The fact that William McAdoo, his own son- in-law, is being pushed forward as a candidate by many Wilson Democrats is one embarrassment and the fact that the president himself does not believe the. Democratic party should be dictated to on the subject of nominations is quite another. But there seems no ques tion that Mr. Wilson will be found Indorsing the choice of the convention and even aidlnsr in the campaign. All, SEEK HIS AID ., Far from being out of pontics, Mr. Wilson is an active factor to be reckoned with in the next campaign, and practi cally every one of the candidates who Is now being boomed would not object to Mr; Wilson's help if he could get it So far as the third term is concerned It is an open secret that Mr. Wilson never intended to run for reelection. There are enough individuals, friends and political committeemen, who have ksown positively of his Intentions for long time. Indeed, it is a fact the when Mr. Wilson was at Paris he waar so much upset by .the reports pread lr opponents in the United States to the affect that he was'Planaing the League of Nations so as ttf preside aver- It ttr that he wanted to use .it as a vehicle jot a uiiru, ivrro ui. 10 iuniseu v Issue a statement at that time renouns Inr all third term ambitions and declar ing this intention to return to private life at the end of his present term. Political advisers on this aide of the Atlantic , feared it would have a bad effect on the treaty fight if Mr. Wilson made such a statement, as they believed it was necessary to keep the Democratic party solidly behind the treaty and also to dangle before the Republicans the possibility that the president himself might appeal to the people in 1920 if the league wereinade a party Issue. That . President Wilson has long In tended to retire at the end of his present term is unquestionably true. But when he does make- known his intentions he will, on the other hand, use the, occa sion not merely to start off a presidential race, as would be the case if he made a statement to the Jackson day dinner. but to forward the cause of liberalism. which he holds is paramount. In an age that Is full of the hysteria of reaction that always follows a war. Attorneys Differ Upon Validity of Special City Levy Fredrick V. Holroen's opinion that the 2 mill, tax Increase passed by the voters of the city November 12 last Is Invalid is not held by City Attorney La Roche. Hoi man stated to the city council Wednesday that the right of raising taxes lies not within a few people in a commonwealth, but is guarded try a rigid constitution. He quotes as au thority Justice Harris of the supreme court who ruled against the right of tar increase in the case of the gas com pany and the 3 per cent tax. Holmen further states that under the state con stitution and 6 mill tax limits tlon. the special 2 mill tax increase Is invalid. ?I believe the city charter comes un der the. constitution, which would give the voters power to Increase tsxatibn. declared LaRoche. "I cannot see any reason why the special 2 mill tax could be held invalid.- Following Mayor Baker's suggestion, LaRoche win hold a conference Friday with Holman In order to reach an under standing on the subject.

This fund, which it Is esti mated would amount to approximately 850,000 a year, would be used by the commission tn restoring injured work men to a semblance of their normal functioning capacities and training these cripples in vocations to whlcH they are adapted.

It was then that he re ceived: the 3600 fine and was sentenced to sence sx, months in the county jail.

The doctors testified that during - his examination; Sorensen had repeatedly told them that his par. ents had died of tuberculosis some years before and that he had once had symp toms of the disease.

I am sure the court records will show that In nearly every other case It he Judge did not take into consideration the mental anguish Suffered by a prisoner. He imposed sentence regardless of this condition.

Something drastic must be done at once if we are to cut down the num ber of accidents. "I don't know Sorensen personally. doubt if I could recognise him on the street. What I have said is without prejudice. I think Sorensen ought to be treated the same as any other motorist who drives an automobile while Intoxl cated. "We have a municipal Judge in Port land who is fair and just. When he imposes a sentence It ought to be upheld by the higher courts. "This case will have" a pronounced effect upon other reckless drivers. It will have a tendency to make them think that they, too, can get hy the court A, even after committing flagrant violations of the law. SOMETHING FUNNY IN SORENSEN CASE THINKS CHIEF JENKINS "Sorensen , Is a dangerous man with an automobile. In my opinion, said Chief of Police L. V. Jenkins this morning. "I think there is something funny tn this case. I'll admit I can't understand It Sorensen did a lot of wire puinngt before his case came to trial. He called on me after I was made chief, and, after con gratulating me, asked me to do some thing for him. I told him at the time that I couldn't conscientiously do any thing for him. "So far as Sorenserr-s physical or mental condition is concerned, I don't see why that should, bring him leniency. I understand he was found physically sound.,. It has been my experience that everybody suffers mental anguish when they know a jail sentence is staring them In the face. I have seen some peo ple rave for four or five hours. Of course, I felt sorry for them, but in most cases they got over It in 48 hours."
