WASHINGTON, GRANT, M'KINLEY,

General Grant liked being president
There was no written law against it
General Washington. the first president
after serving two terms of four years
each, voluntarily retired to his home
at Mount Vernon. In fact he was anx-
o to retire at the end of his first
term, and so said to his confidential
friends. But he was told at once tina
this would not do, that the young gov
eminent would go to pieces at once il
he did, that he was the only American
who could save it. So he at last agreed
to stand for another term and was re-
elected. The unwritten law of the
United States, North Carolina includ-
ed. is that eight years is the extreme
limit. 1t is a great pity hat there is
more than one term. The confederate
government wisely saw the evils of
two terms, and provided against it. The
president was to be elected for six
years and with no possible second
term. Grants friends were many and
very urgent. They did all they coult
to ecure a nomination for a third
term. But they failed for the Ameri-
can people wanted none of it. And
now. William Mckinley is the last
presidential "Barkis," and he sis will:
His office-holders and office
are beginning to urge him, and
to plan for a third term for him.

THE FARMS.

Writing lately Of manufacturing pro-
gress in North Carolina and the mill
ions employed. we said that a state
ment of the relative amount in farming
and manufacturing and their prOduc-
t~iveness in dollars and cents would be
instructive. They would show how
vastly superior to the state was farm
ing. not only in pecuniary results, but
as factors in the living of the people.
When we can get the figures we shall
publish. We are glad always when it
is possible to note progress in farming,
as it is sad to have to now and tell of
great destruction to farms is has so
recently happened in our state. In the
United States there is not a falling off
in the number of farms or in the pro-
auctions of farms. In 1900 there were
800, 900 being cultivated, against A.
564, COL a decade ago. There is a vast
area inthis country not yet needed
for farming. Texas also could feed
the $4,000, 900 people if all of her
arabic lands were put under cultiva-
ton. The productiveness of this vast
country is wonderful. Kansas alone is
just housing a crop of wheat valued at
$50, 900, 900. The farmers must not only
keep up with the mighty material pro-
cession. but it must keep step with the
music of liberty. independence, honesty
and public economy.

That discreet, able. ordinarily fair
republican daily, the Springfield Re
publican, sees the moving of the po-
litical waters for a third term for the
ambitious man of Ohio. We copy an
informing passage that is true. and
points out the revolutions already
worked out by the plausible, moral.
s~oft-talking flatterer of the White
house. Read this:
American politicians have hereto
fore been afraid of a third term pro-
ject because Of the apparent loyalty
Of the people to the traditions and pre-
cedents Of the Republic and their jeal-
Gus watchfulness against the encroach-
ments of centralizing and self-perpetu-
ating power. But Mr.. Mckinley has
succeeded in proving, to all appear
ances, that h ideals and principles
OF the government itself can be chang
ed at one bold stroke without incur
ring popular disapproval. and what
then is to be feared in the mere matter
of a third term? Only the most whim-
steal and superficial of beings would
choke at the gnat Of a third term after
swallowing the camel of Imperialism"
