Original Draft Of Federal Consti-
tuition Prescribed Presidential
Term Of Seven Years and Pro
vision Against Second Term.
Sentiment Was Popular.

New York, Nov. 22.-"The spectacle
our strenuous president playing hide
and seek with the American people
would not now be before us If the
original provision of the Congress that
drafted the constitution we're in effect.
That prescribed presidential term OF
seven years, with prohibition upon
reelection. In the judgment of many
and I am among them-t1e change
from that provision was a mistake
Justice David J. Brewer Of the
United States supreme court made this
declaration in a speech before the
Civic Forum, in Carnegie Hall. It was
applauded more literally than any
other point he made in his remarks.
lis address concerned Public office in
relation to public opinion"
Without giving either the better of
the argument, Justice Brewer COM
pared the characters of President
Roosevelt and Gov. Hughes. The gov
ernor was a speaker on the same plat
form ON the topic of Public Office. "
Public Officer a Ruler.
The silver-haired justice argued that
the more constant and universal the
voice of the people and the more
promptly public officers carry that
voice into effect, the nearer is the ap-
proach to ideal government. He de-
clared public officer was ruler al
most as absolute, while his term lasts,
as a king.
HE may be impulsive, strenuous,
exhibiting spectacular and dramatic
life or calm and self-poised in adj
ministration; his chief stock in trade
may be battleships or reserve force;
but no one doubts that either Presi-
dent Roosevelt or Gov. Hughes is a
ruler. And rulers judgment of what
is for the public welfare should be
absolute, should be the Judgment of
la ruler" E& g.
But Justice Brewer was careful to
point out that a rulers judgment
hould be upon important matters only.
He said, for instance: 1T is foolish
for president to quarrel over sim
plified spelling" which brought out a
roar of laughter. Justice Brewer said:
Golden Rule Discovered.
Some said sneeringly of the presi-
dent while he was governor of New
York that he discovered the command
ments. If it were true that they were
buried so deep in the political dust as
to be invisible, blessings on the man
that discovered and unearthed them.
Perhaps we shall yet say of another
governor of the state that he has done
better and has discovered the golden
rule. s
when that controls all officials and
all people we may be sure the political
millennium is not far away"
The justice concluded with COM
mandatory remarks upon the calmness
and placity of the nations courts.
God pity u.s." he said, when the
judges introduce the spectacular into
their proceedings to win popular ap-
|plause."
Concerning popularity he made this
significant statement:
The right sort of popularity is that
which follows not that which Is run
after"

Presidents THANKSGIVING
Proclamation,

Once again the season of the
year has come when, in accord
ance with the custom of our fore
fathers for generations past, the
president appoints a day as an
especial occasion for all our peo-
pie to give praise and thanksgiv-
ing to God.
During the past year we have
been free from famine, from pes
thence, from war. We are at
peace with all the rest of man.
kind. Our natural resources are
at least as great as those of any
other nation. We believe that in
ability to develop and take ad-
vantage of these resources the
average man of this nation stands
at least as high as the average
man of any other. Nowhere else
in the world is there such an
opportunity for a free people to
develop to the fullest extent all
its powers of body and of mind,
and of that which stands above
both body and mind-character.
Much has been given us from
On High, and much will rightly
be expected of us in return. Into
our care ten talents have been
entrusted and we are to be par
doned, neither if we squander and
waste them, nor yet if we hide
them in a napkin, for they must
be fruitful in our hands, Through
out the ages, at all times, and
among all peoples, prosperity has
been fraught with danger and il
behooves us. to beseech the Givel
Of All Things that we may not
fall into the love of ease and
luxury; that we may not lose oul
sense of moral responsibility; that
we may not forget our duty tc
GOD and to our neighbor.
A great democracy like ours, a
democracy based upon principles
