at Is the part of wisdom fo7 a republic to limit
the service ofthat officer, at least, TO whom SIZE

relations, the execution Of her laws, ant the
command OF her armies and navies, to II period
so short IS TO prevent his forgetting that he is

Of the constitution can be effected, public opin,

aid TO it by renewing the pledge heretofore
given, that underno circumstances will 1 con-

President HARRIsON's view that the
oue-term plinCirls ought to be engrsfted
upon the constitution is supported 10y the
weight of opinion and argument fIom the
early days of the government to our own
time, His opinion that an individual or
patty pledge could secure the desired Oh

II is safe to predict that Pre- ident Ben
