English View of a Third Term.

Editor Labouchere of London Truth
thinks that President Roosevelt will be
his own successor and offers the fol-
lowing comment:
Were an American should be against
this on general principles. No matter
what a mans abilities may be, it is idle
to suppose that there can only be one man
in the United States who is fit to be its
president. History has shown that the
best kings are more dangerous to self
government than the worst. And what Is
true of kings is equally applicable to re-
publican presidents, and probably even
more so, for they have more power than
most constitutional kegs. President
Washington did no wiser and more patri-
otto thing than in refusing to be president
third time.
Mr.. Labouchere argues the advantage
of term of seven or ten years with
the proviso that there shall be no Sec
ond term and adds:
The great danger to- republic is that
one Of it's citizens should be so popular
that, under republican forms, he becomes
to all intents and purposes a sovereign.
Once practically president for life, the
idea Is encouraged that 1t would be better
to accept his son as his successor instead
Of leaving this to popular election. Soon
loyalty to the family Of the ruler is incut-
Gated as a patriotic virtue. and the de-
votion to the sovereign replaces devotion
to the country.

Money Backed by Wealth.


One Of England's foremost authorf.
Ties on economic conditions, Lord Ave
bury, thinks that the currency troubles
of this country can be settled by fol-
lowing the course adopted by England
In, 1914 and setting up a central bank.
The Bank of England issues in an
amount fixed by law notes against Sc
curities. Any extra amount of notes
which may be needed must be secured
by gold in the banks vaults. The
bank operates under charter which
may be modified or revoked by the
legislature at pleasure. The bank is
the financial agent Of the government,
manages the public debt, collects the
revenue and is the bank Of other
banks.
In this country it is held, on one
hand, that the financial situation
would be helped by currency based
upon assets. The more conservative
advocates of this plan would have
central bank of issue similar to the
Bank of England or the Imperial Bank
of Germany, with the government as
the dominant stakeholder. Such bank
would be in effect the United States
treasury and have behind it the faith
Of the nation. In this way, it is ar.
gued, the whole credit system Of the
country could be wisely controlled and
reckless borrowing prevented.
A measure having the approval Of
many prominent bankers will early
come before congress. 1t is substan-
tally a credit currency plan, having
for its object the creation of currency
which may be increased in volume or
reduced, according to the needs of a
business. 1t is, however, in the ma
ture of an expedient and not expected
to solve the currency problem as ef-
fectually as might be done perhaps I'm.
der the European system Of central
bank. Our present system is right In
tendencies, but the needs of the cOun-
try call for a wider distribution Of cur
rency upon sound securities which the
government can guarantee without risk
or expense to the nation and also with
out showing favor to any particular
interests or class.
There are able bankers who believe
that the plan of a central bank will
never be adopted in the United States
for political and social reasons and
who also hold that the enlargement Of
privileges or the removal of restric-
lions of national banks to provide an
elastic currency would prove form Of
dangerous expansion. Bankers of this
class have no confidence that banks Of
issue would be able to Withstand the
pressure of speculation whenever the
traffic in securities might become ram
pant. 1t is only fair to the public in
telligence to say that neither the bank
ing group nor the economists In con.
gress have SO completely mastered the
subject that consensus of the cOmpe-
tent approaches unanimity.

BOTH GOOD MEN.

The Register and Leader doesn't
know whether Taft goes to church
more regularly than Bryan, or wheth-
Bryan can say a louder amen than
Taft. It does know this, however,
that as far as the morals of these
two men are concerned, no Christian
will make mistake by voting for
either. There never has been any
question of their clean, strong man
hood. They are high type Americans,
both of them, and both fit, as far as
their righteousness is concerned, to
hold the high position to which they
aspire. The same can probably be
said of the nominees Of other polit-
ical parties.
But the mere christianity of man
alone doesn't make him fit for the
presidency. You can easily find
cody men who couldn't govern a
town meeting; likewise. history tells
OF more than one great statesman
who could swear like trooper and
drink like a topper. Some men are
so small that little goodness in
them seems big; some men, too, are
SO great that the vice in them seems
little. The ideal president is not
merely cody nor merely statesman
like, but godly and statesmanlike.
