THE RACE PROILEM.

Joel Chandler Harris, than
whom the south has produced no
keener observer or more forceful
writer, has contributed to the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post three interesting articles on
the NEGRO problem" Those
who talk about the 'negro prob
lem" for the sole purpose of maxi
ing political capital out Of the
question would do well to read,
digest and act upon Mr., Harris
review OF the subject. He clear
ly shows that the so-called "ne-
gro problem" is merely the prob
lem which call individuals and
all races have had to contend
with at one time or another, and
there is no solution save hard
work and right living" Mr..
Harris points out--and proves
that the negro's situation in the
south is nothing like SO bad as in
the north, for while southern ne
groes are earning a living by pur-
suing various trades and callings
in which the whites are also en-
gagged, northern negroes are not
allowed to compete with the
whites in any but the most meniaI
and Improbable ca!hngs Mr.
Harris sums up the question
briefly when he declaresi "the
trouble heretofore with educated
negroes is that they have insisted
on swarming into politics or into
the pulpit. Up to date they have
made the poorest kind of polite
ians and, with few notable ex-
ceptions, very inferior preach
ers. ."-Commoner.

THE THIRD TERN.
No Southern Stale Has Ever Elected One
Governor Three Times

OF the best known lawyers OF Ar
kansas, has written the following
open lctteri
Few persons appreciate, and it
will be interesting to note, how
fully the sentiment against a third
term in the office Of governor is
reflected in the state constitutions.
In the states Of the North,
where the Democratic spirit was
never as strong as in the South,
there has ever been an inclina-
ton to strong centralized govern
ment, this is not found, but in the
states of the South, where the
Democratic spirit has reached its
fullest development, the oppo-
sition to the third term early
found expression in the state con-
situtions.
In Maryland the following pro-
vision was Incorporated in the
constitution in the year in which
the Declaration Of Independence
was adopted; "That a long
continuance in the first executive
departments of power or trust is
dangerous to freedom; and rota-
ton in this department is one of
the best securities of permanent
freedom" Constitution of Mary
land, 1776, art. 3,
This provision has been carried
forward in the constitutions of
1851, 1854 and 1867.
In Arkansas the constitution Of
1886 made the governor ineligible
to a third term. Constitution of
1885, sec. 4 art. 5.
This inhibition continued until
the Republicans enacted the con-
stitution of 1864. Since then it
has not been written in the con
stitution of Arkansas, but has
been observed as an unwritten
law, as shown by the defeat OF
Governor Miller and Governor
Hughes in their candidacy for a
third term.
In Alabama we find the follow
ing: "But he (the governor)
shall not be eligible for more than
four years in any term of SIX
years" Constitution of 1919.
sec. 4, art. 4.
The constitution Of Florida Of
1888, art. 3, sec. 2, is as follows:
"The governor shall be elected
for four years, and shall not be
eligible to reelection until the
expiration OF four years there
after"
In the constitution of Georgia
of 1865, art. 3, sec. /, is the fol-
lowing: "And he (the governor)
shall not be eligible to re-electior
after the expiration of a second
term for the period Of four years. .
In Kentucky we find the fol-
lowing: "The governor shall be
ineligible for the succeeding four
years after the expiration of the
term for which he shall have been
elected" Constitution 1850, SEQ
1, art. 3.
The constitution of Louisiana
Of 1898, section 63, contains the
following: "Nor shall any per-
son who shall have been elected
qualified and served as governor
under this constitution, be eligible
as his own successor"
This is but a enactment oI
the provisions of the earlier con.
stitutions of that state.
In Mississippi the constitution
provides for the election of the
governor "who shall hold his Of
flee for four years, and shall be
ineligible as his own immediate
successor in office" Sec. 116,
art. 5, constitution of 1890.

shall serve for two years shall be
eligible to- serve in the said Office
after the expiration of said term
until the full end OF term of four
years" Art. 2, sec. 2.
This was changed in the con-
stitution Of 1865 as follows: "The
governor shall serve four years,
/ but the same person shall not be
governor for two consecutive
| terms"
In Texas the constitution Of
| 1845 contains the following:
"But he 1.-THE governor) shall not
be eligible for more than four
years in any term Of six years" D."
Art. 5, sec. 4.
The same provision was carried
| into the constitution of 1865, art.
), section 4.
IN Virginia the following pro-
vision is found: "He (the gov
ernor) shall hold office for a term
of four years, to commence on
the first day Of January next snc-
ceeding his election, and is in
eligible to the same office for the
term next succeeding that for
which elected" Constitution Of
Virginia, 1869, art. ], sec. l.
The same provision is found in
the constitution Of 1870, sec. l.,
art. 4.
In West Virginia it is provided,
in section 4, article 7, of the con-
stitution of 1872, that "the gov
ernor shall be ineligible 10 said
office for the four years next sue
cceding the term for which he
was elected"
1t will be observed that these
provisions apply only to the office
of governor except IN one state,
where the treasurer is included.
Other officers are not included
because they have no great pow
ers concentrated in their hands,
while the governor alone has in
| his hands the powers of chief ex-
ecutive, to WELD as he wills.
The constitution of the United
States contains no provision linn
iting the number of terms tC
which the same person may be
] elected president; but the danger
< to be anticipated from long con-
, tinuance IN the office is SO great
that Washington declined to be
elected to third term because he
cleared that if he tasted long the
sweets of office he conld not live
2 without them, and it was not safe
3 to trust any one with such power
for so long a time in a country
with free republican govern
4 ment."
: jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
Jackson, each impressed with the
l wisdom of the rule, declined to
l stand for a third term.
Grant alone of all the presi.
: dents ever sought a third term
and he was defeated for the NOM
r ination.
The statesmen of the South
! were so impressed With the wis
. dom of the rule, and of its abso-
lutte necessity to the preservation
l of government by the people,
, that when the constitution of the
Confederate states was adopted
, it prohibited q second term in the
r office Of president.
9 In the Washington Post Of De-
cember 4, 1895, when the ques-
ton had no application to the
personal fortunes of any individ-
ual, Mr.. Garland published a
very thoughtful review of the
-third-term principle. Gov.
Foraker had been nominated by
. tho Republicans of Ohio for a

FOR IRRIGATION
Canadian Pacifio's Great Plan for
Developing Lands in North
west. ...,.. o.. =.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. .r 'a''. rs.
Toronto, July S.-The irrigation
scheme which the Canadian Pacific
railway has now under way is un-
dougtedly the largest undertaking Of
it's kind on the continent 1t en-
braces an area extending from CAL
gary for $50 miles, and runs sixty
miles north and south. Turnout the
center Of this tract the main line Of
the Canadian Pacific railway runs.
The greatest part Of three years has
been devoted to preliminary surveys
on the proposed canal scheme and the
result shows that about one-half or
100000 can be irrigated at an ulti-
mate cost Of about $47,0OO,0OO.
The main canal will be 20 miles
long, wit lla bed width Of so feet, and
carrying water 10 feet deep. 1t is
under construction. Some SIS miles
Of distributing canals have also been
located.
This portion project is to be COM
pleted first and proved a success be-
fore any further extension is under
taken. But*if success is obtained, nee
essary extensions will be undertaken.
sg There will be no free land in this
irrigated section. The grazing lands
of the company within the belt will
be sold at $3.50, then SIS an acre, and
while the price of the arabic lands
has not been absolutely settled, it Is
expected that it will be about $40 an
acre. The cost Of construction is to
be placed against the lands and from
their sale the company hopes to get
back the millions Of capital invested
in the scheme.

BRYAN LOST ILLINOIS FIGHT
Convention, by Heavy Vote, Rejected
Minority Credentials Report


Minority Credentials Report. q,
ST. Louis, July s.-The democratic
national convention late yesterday
afternoon adopted the report of the
committee on rules, credentials and
permanent organization.
Several speeches were made, chief
of which was William J. Bryan's
effort to overthrow the report of the
credentials committee and seat con-
testing delegates from Illinois. The
controversy was ended by the rejec-
ton of the minority report by vote
of SAT nays to 299 yeas.
Tho Mr.. Bryan's speech and his ap.
pearance on the floor of the conven-
ton were cheered far beyond any pre-
vious demonstration, it made few
votes. The alignment Of delegates
proved the correctness of previous
estimates Of the division between
those who favor the radicals and those
who are supporting the conservative
element, which is now in control.
When the result of the contest was
announced the report of the commit
tee on permanent organization was
made. Representative Champ Clark,
who was chosen permanent chairman,
addressed the convention. He had
prepared and furnished to the press
a speech Of great length. The hour
was so late when he gained the plat
form, however. that he spoke about
800 words and left his audience to
read the remainder.
