Where Is the Fool=killer?

II. & "A. M. at clinton, Iowa.
Where Is the Fool=kiIle r?
1t is remarkable to find any
sane man who, in this day, will
advocate a change of our gov
arnment by a change of the
Constitution of the United
States so as to make Theodore
Roosevelt President for life.
Such monstrosity is found
in North Dakoto, an editor of
a farm paper called Browns
Farmer! A man who boldly ad-
vocates a change of our consti-
tuition so as to give us a King,
or President for life. A man
living in this republican coun-
try who favors, even a limited
Monarchy, should be invited to
"pull his freight" to Canada so
as to live under a King. He
says: "Why not call a special
session of congress and amend
the Constitution to permit Of
the election of a president for
lifew
Why not to be sure. Simply
because Congress has no such
power. This blatherskite goes
on to say:
"Could we do better than in
stall Theodore Roosevelt in the
presidency for life? He is with
out a peer for ability, without a
superior for knowledge, and a
patriot in every thought and as
piration. Under his wise, per-
manent administration the
country would settle down to a
career of steady prosperity, un-
vexed by the present recurring
political lamentations, COM
mercial or industrial upheavals,
and would continue it's unexam-
pied march forward, the admi-
red of the nations of the earth,
a pattern and an inspiration for
the civilized world, a common
wealth such as the greatest po-
litical economists never con-
ceived. Let us have Roosevelt
for life. He is the logical an
swer to the problem of our fu-
ture.* 9 A third term! For
get it, unless by a third term is
ment a term extending indefi-
nitely down the slope of time,
covering at least the first quar-
ter of the century,"
There you have it in plain
English a radical change of
the government from an cleo
tive to an hereditary one. A
surrender of the form of gov
ernment for which our fathers
fought, and for which the war
of 1865 was battled for, and
to offer now, after only a little
over 40 years, to surrender the
fruits of victory so nobely won,
is an insult to every man who
wore the blue, and a digrace to
he who proposes it. This nation,
begotten by our noble sires, was
bequathed to US as a national
heritage to be handed down to
the generations yet unborn, 50
that the blessing of liberty, free
fromthe blighting curse of kings
ga nation of the people, for
the people and by the people. y
To now propose a surrender of
all the blessings and glory of a
free people and return to the
rule of despotism and slavery
and that proposition to be made
by one who has enjoyed the
honor and blessings of our free
institutions is both wonderful.
and an inslt to American citi.
zenship. A public journal that
would advocate such a change
in the government is not wor.
thy a place in the home of any
American citizen. Such a mar
shold emigrate, or be sent tc
the insane asylum. This change
ling government is not enter

From Philippines GOSSIP.
There is prison editor on every news
paper staff in Japan, whose duties consist
in going to jail and standing trial for
any offense committed by the journal.
This representative of some of the most
independent papers spends large por-
ton of his time in prison. either awaiting
the hearing of his case or in serving out
the term Of his sentence. Even when out
Of the tolls. he has no editorial duties to
perform. His salary is larger than that
Of most Of his colleagues. and. his position
is in demand. He enjoys the sonorous
title of editor-in-chief, and when he is
behind the bars the actual editor is
classed by the journal in question as
merely a contributor. Everybody. includ-
ing the authorities, is fully aware of the
subterfuge, but nevertheless. the trial
proceeds of the imprisoned editorial
dummy. who perhaps is incapable of writ
ing news paragraph.
Japan is nation of readers. More than
thousand newspapers and magazines
are published in the empire. The impe-
rial public library at Toxic has half a mil
lion of volumes, nearly one thousand of
which are printed in the languages of
Europe.
