Special Ratannia Rugs 207, Off what becomes of the argument for a constitutional limitation to a single term? The argument is not that it is clearly known now just how long each president should remain in office. | Four years is too long a term for president who is not the true spokes man of the people, who is imposed upon and does not lead. It is too short a term for a president who is doing or attempting a great work of reform and who has not had time to finish it. To change the term to six years would be to increase the likelihood of its being too long, without any assur- ance that it would, in happy c , be long enough. A fixed constitutional limitation to a single term of office is and unsatisfactory from every point of view. The argument for it re: por conditions which removed by law. Presidents, said, are effective for one-half their term cnly because they devote iheir attention during the last two vears of the term to building up the influences, and above all the or- ganization, by which they hope and purpose to secure a ‘second nomina- tion and election, 1t is their illicit power, not their legitimate influence with the country, that the advocates of a constitutional change profess to be afraid of, and I heartily sympathize with them. Tt is intolerable that any president should be permitted to determine who should ucceed him—himself or another—by tronage or coercion, or by any sort of control of the machinery by which delegates to the nominating conven- tion are chosen. Should Nominate at There ought never to be another | presidential nominating convention; and there need never be another.

It is not neces- sary to attend to the people’s busi ness by constitutional amendment if you will only actually put the business into the people’s own hands. T think it may safely be assumed that that will be done by statute; it need mnot wait for constitutional change. That being done, the ques- tion of the presidential term can be discussed on its merits. It must be clear to everybody who has studied our political development at all that the character of the presi- deney pa ing through a transition- al stage. We know what the office is now and what use must be made of it; but we do not know what consti- tutional change, if any is needed, it would be best to make.

He must play the part and play it successfully, or lose the country's confidence. He must be prime minister, as much concerned with the guidance of legislation as | with the just and orderly execution of | law; and he is the spokesman of the nation in everything, even the most momentous and most delicate deal- ings of the government with foreign rations, ‘Why in such circumstances should ke be responsible to no one for four 2 All the people’s legisle tive spokesmen in the house of repre- sentatives and one-third of their rep- resentatives in the senate are brought to book every two years; why not the president, if he is to be the leader of the party and the spokesman of policy ? Sooner or later, it would seem, he must be made answerable to opinion in a somewhat more informal and in- timate fashion—answerable, it may be, to the house whom he seeks to lead, either personally or through a cabi net, as well as to the people for whom they speak. But that is a matter to be worked out—as it inevitably will be, in some natural American way which we cannot vet even predict. The present fact is that the pr dent is held responsible for what | “TIZ” PUTS JOY IN SORE, AGHING FEET “My, how ‘Tiz’ gladdens tired, swollen, burning feet—It’s glorious!” ment, Ah! what relief.

Put the present customary limita- tion of two terms into the constitu- tion, if yvou do mnot trust the people to take care of themselves, but makc it two terms (not one, because four years is often too long)and give the president a chance to win the full service by proving himself fit for it. If you wish to learn the result of constitutional ineligibility to re-elec- tion, ask any former Governor of New Jersey, for example, what the effect is in actual experience. He will tell you how cynically and with what complacence the politicians banded against him waited for the inevitable end of his term to take their chances his successor. Constitutions place and can place no limitations upon their power. They may control what governors they can as long as they please as long as they can keep their outside pow and influence together. They smile at the coming and going of governors as some men in Washington have smiled at the coming and going of presidents, as upon things ephemeral, which passed and were soon enough got rid of if you but sat tight and waited. As things stand now the people might more likely be cheated than served by further limitations of the president's eligibility. His fighting pdwer in their behalf would be im- mensely weakened. No one will fear a president except those whom he can make fear the elections. We singularly belle our own prin- ciples by seeking to determine by fixed constitutional provision what the people shall determine for them- selves and are perfectly competent to determine for themselves. We cast a doubt upon the whole theory of popu- lar government. A Fatal Embarrassment. I believe that we should fatally embarrass ourselves if we made the constitutional change proposed, if we want our president’s to fight our battles for us, we should give them the means, the legitimate means, the means their opponents will always have. Strip them of everyining else but the right to appeal to the peo- Ple, but leave them that; suffer them to be leaders; absolutely prevent them from being bosses.

My own mind not agile enough to go both ways. I am very well aware that n position on this question will be mi construed, but that is a matter of perfect indifference to me. The truth is much more important than reputation for modei# and lack of personal ambition. My reputation will take care of itself, but constitutional questions and questions of policy will not take care of themselves without frank and fearless discussion. I am not speaking for my own re- election; T am speaking to redeem my promise that I would say what T really think on every public question and take my chances in the court of public opinion.
