81 am here as q messenger Of God To
speak for you, willing 20 brave the re-
cord OF this life, closed with a cruel
blotch Of crimson spots, for Gods read
Ing and Judgment; for He, all'knowlng

"Overt0werlng all that Is pitiful and
pathetic In this tragedy, transcendlng
all that which touches and eVokes your
deepest sympathy, there is a greet truth
expressed anew, so plainly written that
IL may not be passed by, world-old
truth that the ending Of sin Is death,
and that for the transgression Of moral
law and spiritual decree, there Is only
the blacka.ss OF darkness. God has
not given life and its opportunity for
self Indulgence. lie has given II for
the best and highest ends He has a
right to expect that each one Of you
viii realize the best and IL Is so or
dered that the life which does not shall
pay the penalty. Death is inherent In
all sin. Your sin may not always come
to this physical meaning and tragedy,
but II comes 20 a tragic development
beyond this. 1t Is a tragedy in which
you move and perhaps, not for such
senseless, brutal action as ultimated
here, but one more terrible as YOU slay
by evil the finest, diyInest things With
| in you,
"All this centers in uncontrolled self
hood. A self.will that moves In bond
age to lust and low desire, that would
order all life by the personal desire
that recognizes no law or right save It's
own base promptngs, Is all too COM
mon, And it would not be so pitiful as
! Il is were It not for its manifest end.

Frank Connors, who Is serving q life

murder of officer William Strong at
Provo five years ago, is the only pris-
oner having the chance, who has not
taken advantage Of the decision Of the
Supreme court In the Beddo case and

writ of habeas corpus, Connors could
secure his release, according to the

the manner of filing informations IN

was tried, but he fears that he would
be re.arrested and convicted again of
the same charge. So he is waiting UNI
Ill such a time as he thinks the evil
denCe against him Will have weakened
and then he will probably try habeas
corpus proceedings. II he succeeds in
that and escapes a second prosecution
for the murder, he will stilt have 10

The Nome nugget., 1904-06-08
The THIRD TERM TRADITION.

A correspondent writes The NUGGET in
reference to the 'third term tradition and
inquiries if the Opposition to it is strong ?'
1t is. Americans have always feared that
an emergency would be used by political
party to make breach in that tradition,
which would lead finally to continuous terms
in the presidency, giving the Office q monar-
chial character. With the custom once in
augurated the vast power of the president
could be used in a variety of ways to secure
a life tenure. We have seen this done in
Mexico, where Diaz was strong enough to
break a constitutional tenure and make him
self permanent dictator.
The only organized attempt to secure a
third term was that made for Grant in 1880
at Chicago. 1t was a powerful movement
headed by Senator Conkling, of New York,
was stubbornly adhered to, and Grants 300
votes became historic While this attempt
was being made, the Democracy were alert
at all points. The example of Washington
was in daily use, and the third term was
denounced as the substance of imperialism.
The greatest hit in the Democratic national
convention of that year, at Cincinnati, was
the speech of Judge Hoadley. After de-
nouncing the seating of Hayes, as president,
he said: "But we owe much to the fears of
the Republican party. Only fear moved it
to abandon the hope of following usurper
with a king" Should the attempt be made
now to secure a third term in the presi-
dency, as has been seriously suggested by a
section of the Democratic party who have
been booming Grover Cleveland the cam
paign literature lies in the copious express
sions of the Democracy in 1880. Aside from
a shifting of sentiment by portion of one
party there is we'll grounded and deep
feeling against third term. Instead of
extending the tenure of the presidency, the
feeling is rather in favor of giving the same
president only one elected term. With the
increase of the federal officiary of the coun-
try the personal power of the president has
grown.
