president Is "all rot" He says that
George Washington did not set down
any hard and fast rule when he decided
not to have a third term, but he merely
declared his own personal preference.
He was tired of the job ana wanted no
more Of it-in fact he wanted to resign
during his first term.
Gen. Grosvenor's talk of q third term
has attracted more than ordinary at
tention because OF his prominence as a
Republican leader. He has maintained
q place In the front rank Of political
prophets since the election of the fifty
fourth congress, when he predicted an
overwhelming majority for his party
and gave the figures. Since then he
has been known in the political world
as ''Old Figures" The old general took
the credit for that prediction, but It
really belonged to newspaper man
named John Kennedy, who prepared a
table showing what the Republicans
would do and attributed 1t to Gen.
Grosvenor.
The willy old politician stood for the
figures all right, and as they came out
remarkably close to the actual result
his reputation as a prognosticator was
at once established. He did the right
thing by Kennedy, however, as he had
the latter appointed as member OF
the celebrated industrial commission,
which sat for several years collecting
all sorts Of data about economic condi-
ti0ns in the country and whose report,
in II volumes, adorns the library Of
congress and various reference lfbrar-
les throughout the land. AS a COM
missioner Mr.. Kennedy drew $1,000 ID
year for several years, which was pret-
ty fair recompense for allowing an
other man to- have 1.-The credit for a
close political prophecy. q

In going away from home for honors.
There is genuine regret among all the
old members OF the house, Democrats
as well as Republicans, at the retire.
ment OF Gen. Grosvenor.
no one will miss the gallant old
fighter more than that dyed-in-the-
wool Democrat, Champ Clark Of Mis-
souri,. Two stronger partisans than
these men could not be found in con
gress. They have crossed swords
scores OF times, not only on the floor OF
the house but on Chautauqua plat
forms, where they have been star at
fractions. They have differed on near
" every important question that has
been before congress in the last ten
years, and have paid each other many
left-handed compliments in the heat OF
debate, but they are warm friends per-
sonally. sz.
s Often after an unusually caustic en-
counter between these worthless on the
floor, when the prOprieties of debate
were strained to the limit, they would
be seen walking up and down the lobby
in the rear of the house chuckling over
their performance and probably ar
ranging the details Of future joint
debate on some Chautauqua circle.
They are both thrifty and understand
what will please an audience like those
they have been accustomed to address
at Chautauquas. When one sees good
point in their scrimmages on the floor
he tells the other and they arrange to
work it in on the lecture platform.
