The Third Term.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Those persons who profess to believe
there IS nothing more than mere senu-
ment an the objection which the masses
of the American people have to the idea
of a Presidential third term are unable to
see very far below the surface of things.
II ever merely a sentiment, & must have
been IN the early days Of the republic; and
yet even then, when the pre-eminently
great man of his time sat in the Presiden-
tial chair there was scarcely difference
Of opinion over the wisdom OF restricting
one mans occupancy Of the office no two
terms. when Washington refused to enter
tain the idea Of a third term, ne unques-
tionahly performed an act that met the
hearty approval Of practically every Amer
lean OF his day.
So strong was the feeling in the begin
ming. If mere sentiment" then certain
~ was 1t a sentiment to be recSoned with.
From that oarly day II has steadily and
surely fastened itself upon American life
until-lilSe the Monroe doctnine. also large
ly the outgrowth of sentiment-it has be-
come cardinal principle Of the national
faith Grant, with all his military prestige
and civil power failed in his Efforts 10
overthrow N. Even the Republican party.
ever the party Of Capitalization. would not
accept the third term idea, though clothed
IN the attractive form OF a national hero.

JURY APPOINTED TO
CONDEMN TURNPIKE
Old Newport Road Will be
Turned Over to the
County

]. Harvey Whiteman in the Court of
General Sessions this morllng asked for
the appointment of a jury of view, to con-
denim the Wilmington and Christiana
turnpike road, on the grounds that it
has rot been properly kept. Walter II.
Hayes, attorney for the Turnpike Com
pany, said the company would make no
objection as it had desired for some time
to turn the turnpike over to the county
and this was the first chance it has had to
do so.
The court appointed the following jury
to condemn the road:
Thomas Pilling, Alexander, w. Everson,
William Chandler and Frank l.. Springer
The jury will make its report at the next
term of the Court of General Sessions.
The court announced that the contested
liquor cases would be taken up on satur-
day. June G.
Henry Nager. who was convicted several
days ago Of selling Intoxicating liquor TO
girl. who was a minor. was fined 500
and costs.
The greater part of the morning ses-
sion was occupied in going over the ar
gument list and in hearing several argu-
ments. At p o'clock count adjourned un-
til 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The following have been granted natu-
ralization papers in Superior Court:
Angelo scrano. Giuseppe Antonio, Ciesta
and Frank Moletto
At the afternoon session yesterday. City
Solicitor Reinhardt notified the court of
two cases in which the city was sued, one
being brought by Patrick Monahan, for
the return of excessive taxes. and the
other by the Law and order Society for
their half of the fines collected in the raid
cases in May Of last year.
The amount of the fines imposed at the
time was about $1,000, and of this sum,
the Law and Order Society is suing for
half. They are represented by William
S. Prickett, and the case in all probable
ity will be heard next Monday.

A CASE EoR TIE COURT.

The Union Republican members OF
the Election Commission fbving inso-
lently refused the Citizens Republican
ticket a place on the official ballot. a
decent self-respect requires the appli-
sptloeef means to compel them to do
the duty imposed BY the law and their
oath OF Office. II matters not whether
there is much or little sentiment back
of this ticket, but It matters great
deal il the partisanship OF officers of
the law is to stand in the way OF guar
anteed rights of citizens. one commits
sldner. Mr.. Hutson. evidently imagines
that his duty compels him to protect in
every way the party with which he is
affiliated. regardless of the merits of the
points under discussion.
He sought TO deny n place on the
ballot TO the Republican ticket, then he
demanded that it be changed to third
place. and his voice was loudest In urg-
ing the commission to refuse a place
10 the Citizens Republican ticket. That
he does not understand the gravity Of
the case and the duties he has assumed,
IS shown by his iiippant remark that
the Citizens ticket should be placed
on the back OF the ballot. It would
doubtless have haen funny had il not
been coupled with an action which de-
MED 20 number OF voters their rights.
is there any connection between the
act Of Mr.. Hutson and his colleagues
and the visit Of Addicks to wilmington
yesterday Suppose Mr. Hutson had
been told by the Claymont man that he
wanted the Citizens ticket TO go ON the
ballot. what would Mr. Hutson have
doneg There is not enough Of ques-
iion 81 that to require an interrogation
point
The Citizens ticket is not our ticket
We hold that an Republicans are for
Addicks or against him, but we do not
believe in abridging the rights Of free
men by distortion Of the law. The
people behind the Citizens ticket
should ask the court to do the Justice
which has been denied by the election
commission.

the growth of "aristocracy' in this coun-
try. There unQuesuionably are numbers
OF persons who think, or at least act as II
they thought, THAT they belong TO this
"aristocracy." Their claim to belong to 1t
is based almost wholly on having greater
possessions than their neighbors. That is
the worst possible basis for such a claim.
Then there are a considerable number of
persons who permit themselves to be en-
vious of those who claim to belong to this
'arlstocary" They permit themselves to
feel that way because their possessions are
smaller than their neighbors' That is the
worst possible reason for entertaining
such a feeling.
There is an American aristocracy-the
oldest and the only enduring one in the
world-to which we all belong who find
work worth doing and do It resolutely and
with an our might. It's basis is not birth,
nor station. nor wealth. 1t is the arstoc-
racy of those who do wen for themselves,
their families. their neighbors, their fell
low-men, and their country. 1t is the ar
istocracy OF work.

ABOUT EXAMINATIONS.

AT an examination at the Law De-
partment of the University of Pennsyl-
vania the other day two students
tainted because of the strain, and one Of
them is vet in the hospital Both
having failed to pass their examina-
lions because OF their indisposition, viii
fail TO graduate. and yet we are told
that they are both exceptionally good
students and stand high in their class.
There is an injustice somewhere. and
we think that It lies in the system of
examinations which is in vogue in our
institutions Of learning. Those who
have been teachers win acknowledge
that an examination rarely reveals
students capacity in amy particular
line. Much depends upon the physical
and mental condition while the cxami-
nation is being held. There are those
who think quickly and clearly under the
pressure and excitement of an exami-
nation, while others at such times can
not do themselves justice. Many
teacher in glancing over lot OF ex-
animation papers has become disgust
ed with the system. realizing that the
status Of few pupils can accurately be
judged by their work under this test.
Yet this system prevails in American
schools from the primary school to the
university. It's chief result is to en-
courage the pernicious habit of cram
ming. There is no great inducement
for complete preparation from day to
day. but just before the end Of the
term students sit uD nights, injure their
health and al their heads with a lot Of
material they cannot digest. and which
they expect to forget the day after the
examination is held. At our colleges
there is much loafng through the term,
with terrible affort at the end, i'm
which ponies and kindred aides play
their part
The best test of pupils knowledge
is the work he does from day to day.
And the instructor knows more GER
tainly than any examination can re-
veal, just how capable his pupil is
1t is sometimes said that TO grade a
pupil from day to day offers no test OF
his capacity to retain knowledge. bu
since all study is progressive, a pupi
cannot continue to do good work ii
any branch unless he retains that whicl
he has already passed over. The ex
animation Of a pupil should consist il
his class work from day TO day. am
if this has been faithfully and satisfac
2 torily done. he should be subjected L
, no further ordeal.

WILL PLAY NATIONAL AIRS
Chief Marshal 6osia Does Not Want
Rag-Time Airs.

The following letter has been issued
by Benjamin ID. Bogia, chief marshal
of the Memorial Day parade of the
Grand Army of the Republic:
THE celebration of Memorial and
Decoration Day has lost some of it's
beautiful significance in the popular
mind in recent years. and thoughtful
persons are clamoring for it's proper
observance. 1t is not a gala or feast
day, but an occasion of remembrance
of our dead ones and all that it i'm
plies. We remember and we decorate
just as families do toward their sacred
dead
Much of the drifting away from the
central thought is perhaps due to the
character of the music played during
the annual parades. it has been too
much of the vaudeville order, and often
grossly inappropriate. In view of this
fact, all bands playing in the Memorial
Day parade shall confine themselves to
three acts: Marching Through Geor-
gia,' Battle Cry of Freedom and Bat
tie Hymn of the Republic
"ln going to the place of formation
other army music may be rendered. In
passing the Wilmington and Brandy
wine Cemetery. going westward, all
bands viii play Nearer My God to
Thee as dirge and reverse arms will
be the order on repassing the said
cemetery, coming eastward. an appro-
pirate hymn will be played as a dirge.
The paraders will come to attention,
and the Sons of Veterans will fire a sa-
ute. The parade will then march to
the Garfield monument and dismiss.
