The leading article in the November
number of The Forum will be discussion
of the thIrd-term question by Professor
John Bach McMaster, the historian, EMIT
led The Third Term Tradition" Mi.
McMasters cites the well-known historical
precedents against a Presidential third
term, and thinks there is no reason to pc
lievp that the old-time aHtipathy to third
term is one whit less strong than It ever
was. Mr. McMaster says that While our
practice of choosing Presidents, not be-
cause of their fitness, but because OF their
availability. is in theory all wrong, IN
practice no harm comes from it; for under
our form of government we do not need a
President of extraordinary ability; the aV-
erage man is good enough, and for him two
terms is ample. What we want, IN ME-
McMaster's opinion, is strong, govern
ment of the people by the people, not
government of the people by strong man,
and we ought not TO tolerate anything
which has even the sembance of heredity,
Mr.. McMasters c0unsels the advocates OF
a third term for Mr. Cleveland to remember
the doctrine of the illustrlOus founder OF
their party, ''that in no office can rotation
be more CXpedient.'

The Work of the North Atlantic
Squadron.
From Harper's " eekIy.

In his notes on the work done during It's
short summer cruise by the North Atlantlc
Squadron which will be found on announcer
page, Mr.. Zogbaum does full justice TO Ihe
officers and men OF the service. ne
WEEKLY has always admired the person.
mel of the navy, and has taken every OPP
purtunity to express that admiration, so
that it is a pleasure at this time to present
10 our readers this exposition OF the fact
that, so far as officers and men were con,
cernpd. the summer cruise or Admlfai
Bunce's fleet was not one of feStivlty.
1t may be taken for granted that the
command did all the work that 1t was capa-
BILE of while it was making its tour along
the Atlantic seabOard The fleet was far
from being that which was promised,
but officers and men were kept buslly az
work. and the fact that the ships were in
the vicinity of fashionable summer water
ing places did not tighten the duties nor de-
crease the number of drills On the con-
trarv thn professional labnrs OF the 0fhcers
were immensely incr ased by the hordes or
visitors who inspected the ships in the va
rous ports which they were compelled to
enter in order to carry out the programme
that had been arranged In Washington.
The Secretary himself ought to have
learned good deal about the service OF
which he is the head. He was certainly In
! the company of some of the ableSt officers
of the navy, and they are men who would
to point out evils with the traditional
franknpss of sailors. He ought to have
heard a good deal about the discomfort
which has developed among the enlisted
| men of the service during his admlnlstra-
ton, in consequence of a certain well-dls-
cussed order about ratiOns, and he must
have been told that his order about retain
ing only one months pay OF enlisted men
| has been stimulant to desertlon. lie
may not have heard of these evils, but we
assume that he has, because they form the
topic of general conversation wherever ma
val men are gathered together.
1t is to be hoped that the Secretary's OBJ
servations. and the information which he
must have received, will lead him to take
better advice than has thus far guided him
in his management of the, navy. He has
under him officers whose ability ana lnaus-
try are not exelled in any navy in the
world. and contact with them must have
increased his respect for them ana his con-
fdence in the soundness of their Judgment.

Again the Reserve.

The exasperating withdrawal Of
gold" from the reserve. as the presi-
dents message puts 1t. goes right
along. The president admits that there
was a sort of deal with the latest bond
syndicate to the effect that. for a time
at least, the reserve. once brought to its
par, should be defended by the banker
syndicate from another raid.
That deal was carried out, but the
time for which 1t was TO run appears
to have expired about October 1. Since
then the Withdrawals OF gold through
the subtreasury in New York have
been pretty constant. The reserve has
steadily lost its gold. and there isn't

but a balance OF 1921 was due.
The strange sequel is that suit was
brought against Bosbyshell for this
balance. a verdict was reached and he
must pay the amount named to the
government. In view Of the fact that
the salary of the director Of the mint
is $4,000 a year this large verdict, to
make good the thefts that occurred
before Colonel Bosbyshell's official re-
lations with the mint began, seems
strangely unjust.

HE WAS NOT LOUIS XIV.
His Drawing Room Was Perfect, Excep,
That It's Owner Did Not Match Il

From the Upholsterer t
i cannot too forcibly advise great
care in the selection of styles. An
uncle OF mine became rich and spent
an immense amount OF money In fur
nishing his drawing room in pure Louis
XIV style. Everything was costly and
accurate. When IL was finished he
asked friend, a great art critic, to
dinner. and afterward took him up-
stairs and showed him the room-his
triumph. The critic examined every
thing carefully and at last gave a
sigh and said: Everything, my dear
sir. In this room Is genuine, perfect
and harmonious. save one"
What is that?' said my uncle.
The critic took him by the hand and
led him to a large mirror. he looked In
and the reflection showed "a short,
stout. bald man in the orthodox claw
hammer coat, boiled rag" shirt and
black trousers OF mems evening dress.
The one discordant. irreconcilable
thing-the one utterly inharmonious-
is yourself. Are you Louis XIV in
style?'
My uncle looked in the mirror for a
moment, then groaned and walked
straight out Of the room. Since that
day no one can induce the poor man TO
put his foot On the drawing room, and
the rest OF the house Is furnished in
the most heterogeneous manner con-
ceivable.
