POLLOCK DENIES CHARGES.
Says He Did Not Instruct MeyendOrn
TO Destroy Amdavits.

George F. Pollock. Assistant Commits
sloner General Of the Land Office. says
the statements concerning the alleged
Union Pacific land frauds in Wyoming,
which reflect upon his conduct and mo-
tives, are absolutely untrue.
The report is printed under a Salt
Lake date. Before a Federal grand jury
Michael a. Meyendorff, a special land
agent Of the government, told of efforts
by influential men to have him stop his
investigation of the coal land frauds.
Among others mentioned In this connec-
ton was the name Of Mr.. Pollock. Meyen-
doTff. 1t Is asserted, also said that 9IT.
Pollock had instructed him to destroy
several affidavts he had obtained against
the Union Pacific Coal Company.
Mr.. Pollock states emphatically that he
has never personally nor officially coun-
teSanced the suppression Of the inycsuga-
ton referred TO.
Mr.. Pollock characterizes the statement
that he advised Mr. Meyendorff TO de-
stroy the affidavits alluded 10 as wilfully
false. He affirms that he was never in
formed OF any affidavits which did not IN
regular course become part of the records
Of the office; that ne gave Meyendorff no
instructions whatever in regard to the in
vestigation except as expressed in OFF,
cial letters which are on file in the Land
Office.

WAR AND A GAME OF CHESS

Editor The Washington Herald.
The graphic and interesting cOmmuni-

the Capital Col John A. Joyce, in a re-

have a vivid memory Of the account
Of an eyewitness OF a kind Of game Of
chess between Gems. Joe Johnston and
William T. Sherman on a Mississippi
steamer. soon after the war.
The lady told me she watched the game
for hours
The scheme was the Atlanta campaign.
She intimated that while she had never
set a squadron in a field, nor the division
of battle knew more than a spinster. -
yet. that the genius and animation Of the
scene completely enthralled her.
She told me that these great captains

She averred that, with the map they
consulted. the moves" day by day. gave
her an inspiration upon geography and

was that they confronted him with She--

THE THIRD TERM IDEA.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The failure OF the ''conscript fathers"
to incorporate provision in the ConsutG-
ton specifying the number Of terms for
which a citizen should be eligible to the
Presidency has excited universal COM
ment. They must have known that the
absence Of such a clause would ultimate
ly. inspire some aspiring Lancaster TO
attempt the permanent occupation of the
American throne of state.
Had Napoleon taken a conspicuous part
in the thea;er of public affairs prior to its
adoption. mis- example might have writ
ten such a clause into our Constitution.
even as it has into that of France.
Possibly its trainers felt that experience
would define the proper limit, and legis-
lation provide for its rigid enforcement.
The practical judgment of Washington
decided that two terms were sufficient
and that decision has become the unwrit-
ten law Of the republic. But how long
vii! it be SO regarded?
Subject colonies, the continual increase
of our naval and military ornaments.
and the rapid march of the Federal power
toward Capitalization. in addition to the
swiftly extending political influence Of the
Executive-all seem 10 demand that a
constitutional limit be fixed on Presi-
Dental tenure.
Representative journals here in the Cap
ital of the nation have been striving 10
incculate President Roosevelt with the
virus of this third term mania
q further extension of time becomes
necessary. they claim. to enable him TO
carry out the policies and measures which
he has formulated. Similar reasons might
justify any interminable number Of terms:
they are the incense which flattery and
hCro-wOTship have burned upon the altar
of every popular President-the stepping
stones by which individual ambition has
mounted to supreme power above the
wreck and ruin of popular government.
BY yielding homage to this time-h -honored
tradition. President Roosevelt has proven
worthy of the love and confidence of the
people. He has also shown that he is 4
worthy successor to the noblest line of
historic rulers that have ever directed the
destinies of men. He knows In his knowI-
edge Of men and affairs, that the viola
ton OF this sacred, unwritten law would
be a dagger thrust in the throat Of the
republlc-that a third term for Theodore
Roosevelt would be the seventh consulate
of Marins for some lesser man-and so
knowing. he has finally and determinedIy
rejected it. Now. let the American people
submit it TO constitutional annihilation.

ALL PAY FOR POST CARDS.
Blind Institution Loses Nothing in
Trusting to PubIfc's Honesty.

People are just naturally honest A box
Of postal cards has been put up in the
Washington post-ofice by an association
Of the blind where any one is at liberty
to help himself to the contents without
contributing a cent. Rarely If ever are
any Of the cards missing without none
tary representation in the cash box.
There is no one to guard the self-sell-
ing stand. over the postals is q sign to
the effect that the cards have been print
ed by the blind at the Columbia Poly
technic Institute, 1868 II street. and re-
questing all who take the souvenirs to de-
posit the money in the little cash box
with the slot.
The idea has been in use some time, ="
a member OF the institute said to a
washington Herald reporter yesterday.
and every evening when We take up our
collections there is usually penny for
every missing card. we simply trust 10
the honesty of the people. Often persons
Of a benevolent mind will only take one
or two cards and, not having the change,
leave a nickel or a Decent piece. On this
account the proceeds occasionally amount
10 more than the number Of cards which
have been taken represent
This is certainly a compliment TO the
people Of Washington. There are few
cities in the United States. or - the
world, for that matter. where postal
cards are actually put before the public
with the only request that a cent be
dropped in the slot for every card taken.

the United States. That is one of the
NEST interesting things that has been
brought to my attention during the past
year"
Among other things that Mr.. Wilson
told his auditors were that 13. .000.G00 copies
OF reports by special agricultural agents
were being sent out by his department
for the education of the people. that the
farmers are so prosperous that they are
putting money In the banks and sending
their boys and girls to college, and will
have to buy automobiles or find some
other way Of getting rid of their wealth.
He also said that through modern ma
chinery and methods one farmland in
this country can do as much work as 900
Cinnamon. and. as result. rice is being
produced so cheaply in the United States
that 7Co,000,GC0 pounds of 1t was exported
last year, some Of it TO rice growing
countries.
