Not a Third Term

The unwritten law against third term
for the Presidency is ore that should be
respected. / should find little difficulty
myself in reaching the conclusion that
President Roosevelt might stand as a
candidate in 1903 without falling under the
third-term rule were it rot for his ex-
plcit declaration. 1 believe that his ex-
preston was Of a definitely reached con-
clusiOn, and. therefore. I do not feel at
liberty, as a friend and admirer of Mr.
Roosevelt, to discuss him as a possible
candidate. II. a. GARFIELD.

he should not bow to the demands OF his

No man who has been elected to the Of

There are no important objections that

for a third term in the United States.
The only objection to such election lies
where military force or other disturbing

feared in early days, might lead TO a

upon a great principle-the one estab-
lished by Washington. Madison, Jefferson,
and other earlier Presidents-for the rea-
son. that third and additional term to
any President might be potential in trans
forming our government from republic
10 a monarchy.
I regard all the talk in inducing the
President to stand for a third term as idle,
for the President could not yield to it,
however great the pressure might be,
without appearing before the American
public as deliberately violating the great
principle essential 10 the perpetuity of
republican form of government. I believe
his remuneration Of a third term was
grandly American and patriotic. He
would. as I regard II, prefer the profound
admiration and gratitude OF the American
people for the patriotic and unselfish re
nunciatiOn TO all the power and glory and
prestige that might follow his incumbency
of the office for a third term.
OF course, feeling as I Go. with RoOse-
Welt himself, / regard his first term the
same as though 1t were an elective term
and the term that he is now filing as his
second, and under those circumstances he
should not be nominated or elected for u
third term. 7. NJ. PATTERSON.

MS SO a Third Term.

The paramount need OF the great indus
tries forming the bulk of the business life
of America to-day is Il fixed policy of ad-
ministration. These know fairly well what
Roosevelt would do If elected. That pre-
disposes them TO him. He has also cap
tivated a large number Of the masses by
the holiness and directness of his words
and action. There is no sound reason
against a third term. The arguments are
sentimental rather than sound. II ROose-
welt should consent to be nominated for
a third term. which, by the way. would
not be a third term in his case. ! do not
believe he would lose any considerable
vote by reason of any prejudice against
the third-term idea. He would, however.
lose some votes by the vacillaton shown
in running after having so solemnly de-
cIared that under no circumstances would
he be a candidate. However honestly he
may have made that announcement. and
however strong may be the reasons for
his changing, there would be plenty Of

Pictures.

Nowhere but at Athens classic
Athens-could there be more enthu-
siasm manifested over the Olympic
games. In Lyman II. Howe's repro
duction of these memorable games
to be seen among many other great
features at The Kentucky on Mon
day night. this enthusiasm is always
in evidence. These scenes-like the
games tnemselves-wil go down in
to history as the most remarkable
festival of its kind ever held. That
Athens enjoyed a festival, the like
of which has never been witnessed
by the residents of any other city In
the world, may be realized only by
seeing it reproduced with that fideli-
ty that always characterizes a Ly-
man II. Howe exhibition. Another
overpowering impression given by
the pictures, is the great scope and
beauty of the stadium. Tiers of
white marble seats rise to the clouds.
Another absorbing feature of these
pictures is to see the keen interest
shown in the games by the royalty
in attendance from every European
nation. There is an indescribable vi
vacity and picturesqueness about
these scenes which, somehow or
other. cannot be described and
which can only be grasped by seeing
them. Whether it is the stadium or
the fact that the spectator is briefly
seeing ancient Athens and its mis-
torical ruins, or something else, is
hard to say. But the fact is there is
an atmosphere to these pictures
that convinces the spectator That
this is indeed the most remarkable
event OF its kind in ancient or mod
ern times. The crowds seem enthus-
ed over something that means more
than sport.

Rumple is completely in. the power
of Lichtenteller.
The girl is daughter of Charles
Rumple, Lake Geneva farmer.
When she was 16 Lichtenteller began
working as a teamster in the neign-
borhood. Since the day he met her,
it is claimed, she has been a slave to
him.
Lichtenteller is a former convict,
but Notwithstanding this, after Miss
Rumple had known him few days.
she accompanied him to Kenoslha to
be married to him. Her father
reached Kenosha in time to prevent
the marriage. but could not force the
girl to return home with him. When
she did finally return she remained
but a short time and then fed in the
night to join her lover.

It is said, the girl had been of re-

overcome his influence over her. Miss
Rumple admitted she had been with
Lichtenteller in severa; robberies

Many letters which passed between
the two were seized by the police, and
these showed the power the man had
over the girl Miss Rumple barred
her heart to the man in these letters
and pleaded with him to release her
from the spell that bound her.
When she was arrested Lichten-
teller was in Milwaukee. but she
managed to telegraph him to fee,

that her girlish and winsome ap-
pearance, no less than ler charming
soprano, fit her for the role, seems
to have been recognized. That same
remark obviously must be made
about Miss Clara Hunt, whose pres
