To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There is striking tendency to
underrate Roosevelt Jealousy. absolute
mwillingness to give up ease, comfort
and power gained by robbing others and
a determination TO prove that right Is
wrong are alarmingly rampant ir human
nature.
Roosevelt stands out before the world
az one who has exercised practical ability
and shown real clearness Of vision In ono
OF the greatest positions person can
hold. Infinitely more harm is done by
the misconceptions. COMMISSIONS and blum
ders OF the average individual :han by
the occasional mistakes and iapses OF
person OF great ability who has the real
welfare of the people at heart.

Nh WILSON'S OPPORTUNITY

In signed full-page editorial III
1.-The New York American yesterday
Mr.. Hearst Joined the ranks OF those
Democratic counsellors who want GOV
error Wilson TO repudiate the baIti-
more platform. Says Mr.. Hearst: IL
",s more than Dr. Wilson's privilege 10
"reiect a platform which misrepresents
"the Democracy and embarrasses him
"self-it Is his duty, both to himsei
.ond to the citizens" Included In the
declarations which the editor of "fhe
American" wants to see disapproyed is
tho, IN favor Of a single Presidential
term. The single term idea is de-
oounced as worse than undemocradc,
Torse than reactionary." II the
American" and "The World" have their
way Governor Wilson will not give
hostages to the future by lndorsing the
principle that 8 President should be
ineligible to reelection.
But is Il reasonable to believe that
the advice of THE World" and ''Ihe
American" will be followed? Tue Dem
ocrs+ic nominee might repudiate any
other declaration Of the platform on
public grounds, and without subjectins
himself TO the suspicion Of serving q
private and personal interest But ne
could not run away from the single
term pledge without seeming to oe
actuated, In part at least, by seifsh
ambition. The Democratic National
convention not only Endorsed the single
term idea. but pledged "the candidate
Of this convention to this principle 1t
would put the candidate most disagree
ably Oh the defensive if he should try
for personal reasons to shake on an
Utilization which the convention direct
ed him TO assume.
It will be surprising and diSappoint
ing if Governor Wilson seeks to evade
the single term pledge. 1t would be
decidedly polite for him to give ii his
cordial approval. The time is ripe foi
this reform. and if he Is far-sighted ne
will not only promise to do all he can
70 induce Congress to pass ana the
states TO ratify q single term amend
ment. but will signify his willingness 70
set good example by refusing, II
elected, 10 seek denomination. That
would be highly honorable inte1preta'
ton of the duty laid upon him by the
Baltimore convention.
The plank adopted ct Baltimore
failed 10 suggest that the single term
should be fixed at six years, instead OF
four. But the two amendments now
pending in COngress-One referred 10
the Judiciary Committee Of the House
and the other reported by the Judi
ciary Committee Of the Senate-extend
the term 10 six years, thus giving any
President ample time in which to de
velop bis policies, free from the distrac
tons Of q campaign for denomination
and from the temptation to use patron
age in the prosecution OF that cam
paign. Governor Wilson would be Jus
tilted in assuming that the trainers OF
the Democratic platform meant to have
the Presidential term extended In &C
cordance with the public demand whic1
recently found expression In the prep
sration Of single term amendments ir
the two branches of Congress. He car
do a timely public service by enlistine
enthusiastically in the cause of this
highly desirable constitutional reform.
