“ AN
ANCIENT EVIL AND A

CONSCIENCE”
Jane Addams of Chicago, has
written a new book, the title of
which is “ An Ancient Evil and a
New Conscience.”
Senator John
Sharp Williams has declared on the
floor of the Senate: " I will wager
my head that that book alone will
do more good in accelerating the
spiritual growth— it will bring the
men who possess things and the
men who do not possess things
more nearly together upon a com
mon plane of thought and feeling
than a!1 that Congress could have
oone if it had been doing nothing
else for the past ten years.” Now
let the observer note whether this
testimoney from the Federal Senate
is as effective in making Miss Ad-
dam’s new book one of the “ best
sellers,” as was that other voice of
the government which spoke in the
past, when sanctimonious John
War.amaker used the power of his
office as Postmaster General to ex

WILSON AND NEXT TERM
A good many people hang to the
notion that a strict reading ot the
Baltimore platform takes Mr. W il
son out of the equation for 1916.
But the practical method of looking
at the matter was expressed by
Speaker Champ Clark, at the time
he broke with the administration on
the Paoama Canal tolls matter, and
declared that if Presidant Wilson’s
policies were successful that the
country would demand his renomi
nation in 1916; and if his policies
were a failure then the nomination
would not he worth having. It is
doubtful tf there has been as violent
a case of presidential itch in recent
years as that which has attacked
Speaker Clark. In consequence he
manufactured a number of panaceas
to remedy the evils of the presiden
cy, aud he has recently blossomed
out as the advocate of a one term of
s i x years, because, he declares,
“ the president spends most of his
first term trying to get back again ”
