feeding hundreds OF hungry children each

These are almost all children, some
times a few women and occasionally
hungry man. Mono are turned away.
The intention was to feed none but chill
dren, but TO be hunsrysis all that Is

BUSINESS
HOLDING
ITS own

New York Aug. 1s.-Advices received by
the International Mercantile Agency show
that there has been little change in busi-
ness conditions during the week except In
districts especially affected by reports OF
crop damage and disturbance incident to
the cut in steel prices. Business on the
whole shows up we'll and in most retail
lines is fully holding it's own. In certain
sections OF the west trade mas been de-
cdedly stimulated with improved distri-
button and a generally hopeful feeling
Commercial centres are beginning to
feel the impetus OF summer travel and
buyers are focking TO distributing points,
disposed TO buy literally, although with
marked discrimination. This is a good
sign and shows that replenishment this
year will be conducted along conservative
lines. More seasonable weather through
out the southwest has led to better results
In many lines, especially In dry goods and
various branches OF apparel.
Less stock than usual is believed TO
have been carried over in many lines
owing 10 the known conservatism OF
prompt dealers.
Their experience last winter was sug-
gestive OF the greater care that was dis
played this year in avoiding the over
stocking evil for spring and summer
goods.
An excellent demand is noted for gro
ceries. especially staples, where prices are
firm and distribution is for the most part
satisfactory.
Encouraging returns are shown in dry
goods and In paints and oils. Leather has
been active at the south with better ad-
vance in prices. owing TO the scarcity OF
properly cured hides.
The wool market has also strengthened
somewhat and tobacco in general is head
ing fine.

else would tend. to eradicate the spoils
system.
Now then. what is to be done? The
constitution of the United States says,
concerningthe term of the president:
He shall hold his office during the
term of four years" In relation to the
matter of amendments the constitution
says:
of both houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this con-
stitution; or on application of the legis-
lature of two-thirds of the several
purpose of proposing amendments
which, in either case, shall be valid, to
all intents and purposes, as part of the
constitution, when ratified by the legis-
latures, three-fourths of the several
states, or by conventions in three
fourths thereof, as the one or the other
mode of ratification may be proposed
by the congress-
From this, it will be seen that either
the state legislature or congress may
initiate the proposition to amend the
constitution. The practice generally
has been for congress to propose and
submit amendments to the several
state legislatures. The same course
will be pursued in this case, and con-
gress Will be asked to propose an
amendment making the presidential
term to be six years and the president
ineligible to reelection.
The endeavor of the National Bush
ness league will be to make it appar-
ent to the senators and representatives
in congress that the people actually
desire that the proposed amendment
be submitted to the legislature. If this
fact can be demonstrated there is no
doubt that congress will hasten to
comply with the demands of the pub
lie. Ratification in the state legisla-
lures will be brought about by the
same means. The responsiveness of
our legislative bodies to the demand of

notion of a vindication for the acts OF
| his administration. We find, however
| that in letter which he wrote in 1906
he shifted his ground entirely. He said
that he was at first for a single term
of seven years, but that the service for
eight years with a power to remove al
the end of the first four came nearly
to his principle as corrected by expert
ence.
President Jackson urged in several
messages that the presidents service
should be limited to a single term. Clay
was committed to the same idea by
speech and letter, and it was improved
both by Clay and Polk in the campaign
of 1874, and also by the Wing conven-
ton which nominated Clay in May OF
that year. The question was a very live
one then, and it happened that from
jackson to Lincoln no president was
reelected. After the war and toward
the close of his term in the senate,
BENJAMIN F. Wade offered resolution
for a constitutional amendment confin-
ing the president to one term, and in
speaking to it said: Il believe it has
been very rare that we have been able
to elect a president of the United
States who has not been tempted to
use The vast powers intruSted to him
according to his own opinions to ad-
vance his reelection
Another thing: one of the greatest
curses of American politics is the spoils
system. By means of their appointive
power, from president down to coroner,
with a few exceptions, public officials
aspire to succeed themselves, and as
soon as they are elected utilize the
patronage of office in order to pay for
favors rendered in the past and expect
ed to be obtained in the future. pres
ident who was not by custom expected
to secure a 'tvindication' by reelection
would not be under compulsion to use
his appointive power in order to make
himself secure against the next nomina
ton and election. In short the one
term principle would tend, as nothing

nation. AS a matter of fact, this con-
dition of things has practically estab-
lished that the presidential service of
man is eight years. This fact, that
ton and reelection compels him to so
conduct and warp his administrative
policies that he will remain in favor
with the politicians who are to re-
nominate him and also to cater to the
more transient popular sentiment. No
president since Washington that we
know of has ever acted differently.
No man, as mankind goes, can be ex-
pected to be at his best under such
condition of things. He may fairly
be expected to be at his worst. Poor
human nature is not such that presi-
dents must be expected to cruelty
themselves for the unappreciated well
fare of their supporters.
Representative Gaines of Tennessee
has been making historical study OF
the question of one term for presidents,
and points out that it was live queS-
ton with the convention that framed
the constitution and has been under
discussion good part of the time
since.
Washington was inclined to retire at
the close of his first term, because as
he said, it was more in keeping with
the peoples ideas of their liberty and
safety" 1t is well known also that he
was not ambitious of public Office and
that he remained in Office because there
was an overpowering demand Tor MS
services. He refused third term. and,
by so doing esta blished a precedent
that has been as effective as consti-
tutional provision. ,
Jefferson favored making presidents
ineligible for reelection after one term
at the time when the adoption of the
constitution was sunder discussion, and
in spite of his own reelection, he adj
hered to his original view and reitera-
ted il as late as 1912. In explaining
conduct which seemed at variance with
his profession he fell back upon the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-10-25

plans cannot be put into operation
and the benefits of them realized by
the general public before the time for
another campaign approaches. In
other words, the presidential term of
four years is too brief for a president
to inaugurate and carry out a policy.
A six-year term would give ampler
time.
Another thing, the election of a
president for six years would have a
tendency to silence those agitators who
preach discomfort and advise the peo-
pie to look forward to the next presi-
Dental election as the time when they
could make a change which would re-
pair their grievances. Six years would
be too long to look ahead With six
year term the country would settle
down to calmness and steadiness in
business, which is unknown under the
present four-year term.
BY making the president ineligible
to succeed himself, he would be en-
abled to leave politics behind when
he took the oath of office. He could
direct his efforts to being a good presi-
dent. The record of a president would
then merit careful comparison.
By gradual growth it has come to
be an unwritten law that a president
is expected to succeed himself 1t is
expected that his second election will
be a win dication" of his first term of
office There is no question about this
fact. For a president to decline to be
a candidate for reelection after hav-
ing served a four-year term would be
taken to mean that he believed that
he could not be reelected. In other
words a failure to demand renomina-
ton would be accepted as a confession
of the failure of him and his party
to properly administer the govern
ment. Thus it is incumbent on pres
ident at the end of his term to again
become a candidate for reelection
even if he does not want to, and in
a measure his party must renominate
him even If he did not want renomi-

the business interests are always
prompt and satisfactory. More and
more the welfare of the people is be-
coming, and is understood. to be
wrapped up in, and dependent upon
business prosperity. To make it mani
fest therefore, that the business men
of the country believe and demand a
denomination for presidents will be to
assure the adoption of the amendment.
The arousal of the business interests
of the country, it will be seen, is the
real. actual labor that is before the
Business league. Those who have un-
dertaken to propagate the amendment
proposition should see to it that those
under them, those connected with
them in business, their club fellows,
their friends, and customers are fully
advised of the amendment and its ex-
pected good results.
