On the Riqht Track.

Senator Bailey OF Texas has intro
duced resolution to submit consti-
tutional amendment extending the
presidential term to six years and max
ing the incumbent forever ineligible to
reelection, even where he serves only
part of the term. This is entirely cor
rect, and every day more people are
becoming in favor of it. There never
have been but two men in the White
House who didn't spend their first
term largely in trying to secure a
second term: Those were George
Washington, who didn't want the first
term, and Hayes, who was never elect
ed at all. Washington didn't want the
second term and Hayes knew he
couldn't get it. Human nature has not
changed any in the century. President
Roosevelt said very frankly that he
wanted to be elected, and the people
took him at his word. Unless an
amendment like Bailey's is adopted
the presidents for the next thousand
years will be spending their time
hustling for reelection.
4 If the spirits of departed statesmen
take any interest in the affairs Of thi>;
mundane sphere. then that of the late
Senator George Frisbie Hoar must
have reveled in bliss when Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge unloaded a stanza
of Grecian verse on the senate in his
funeral Grafton. OF course the senators
knew no more about it than they would
have known if he had quoted Choctaw.
However, . to conceal their ignorance,
they professed to like.it. Senator Lodge
was kind enough to furnish transla-
ton, which was somewhat in the nature
of adding insult to injury.
Ex-Governor Peabody of Colorado,
who is trying to GUST Governor Adams,
ought to read that portion of the
Decalogue which says, Thou shalt not
steal" The man who steals an office
is worse than he who steals horse
It's wonder that the decent people
of the Centennial State without any
reference to politics do not arise in
their might and choke the impossible
Peabody off.
Marcus Aurelius Smith, who in the
next congress will once more appear
as the delegate from Arizona, holds the
belt for length OF service as delegate.
He leads queer life He comes to
congress till he is in need of funds. He
then retires to reeoup his financial
fortunes in the practice of law Hav-
ing accomplished that, he returns to
congress. He Is sort of intermittent
delegate. The fact that he quits con-
gress when he pieases and returns
when he pieases is proof positive of
his popularity in his own bailiwick.
Ny interest in Mark is augmented by
the fact that away back in 1867 at
Kentucky university he and I together
wrestled with Caesar.
In view of the prolonged senatorial
deadlock in Missouri it may be inter
esting to recall the further fact that
owing to the bitter Benton and anti
Benton feud Missouri was the first
state that ever failed to elect senator
when she should have done so and was
therefore the first to have only one
senator for two years.
