should Complete lis Work.

f. NJ. S.-YOu ask the American peo-
pie for suggestions as to what our Pres
ident should do at the end OF his pres
ent term of Office. 1t seems to me that
there can be but one answer from those
who have no axes 10 grind; and that is,
re-elect him. The no-third-term prece-
dent can not apply here. He gave "a
pledge 10 not disturb the policies Of his
predecessor during that term. He began
his own policies AT the beginning Of his
own elective term. His work is but
half completed. lie should finish it,

d. A--Out Of self-interest as well

President, Theodore Roosevelt should

Junius, jr--He should serve another
term as President. Why2 Because.
having set on foot a series Of invesu-
cations into governmental affairs. he
is the only man who can carry them
through successfully. No other man
could do this: no other man would, and
it would be a great injury to the bust
ness interests of the whole country for
him to back out and leave the country
in the soup" because the masses OF
the people want him and believe in his
incOrrUptible integrity, his rigid honesty.
