Article No. 1 On the Good Road
Question.

The recommendation made by
the last grand jury in Lowndes
county to the Court, that the coun-
ty farm be sold and a smaller one
OF eighty acres be purchased as a
home for the sick and unable, and
that the convicts be worked on
the public roads, seems to meet
the hearty approval of the people
in the county. This should be
followed up by every county in
the state, and each county in the
state should see that their repre-
sentative in the legislature do SINH
lar with the state farms.
This labor is in direct opposition
to the interest of the farmers, and
this labor can be made very help
ful to the movement of good
roads. The labor of every availa-
BILE convict should be used in each
county on each county road, and
the state convicts on the main
thoroughfares of the state. 1t is
true some state convicts cannot
be worked on the road, but some
provision can be made for the
working Of this class of convicts.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

The best things for South DakO-
tans to do, of course, is to stay IL
South Dakota. The News is very
firmly of the belief that there are
few estates in the union, or few
sections of the western hemisphere
that offer so many opportunities
for getting ahead as South Da-
kota, and none that offer better
opportunities. Therefore, this
paper believes South Dakotans
should investigate the resources of
their own state very carefully be-
fore trying other sections of the
country. But it believes that if it
does seem advisable to move, it is
the part of wisdom and careful
foresight to investigate with es-
pecial care the community or state
where the new home is planned
for. Many South Dakotans who
failed to look before they leaped
are returning to South Dakota
from some widely advertised
promised land" poorer, but
much wiser. The Harold Journal
i'll a local news item, tells of one
instance where the persons con-
templating removing to another
state investigated the proposition
frst-and then decided South Da.
kota was good enough for them
The item is as follows:
Mrs. Frank Kolish, of Arnott,
returned from Texas this morning.
Mrs. Kolish is not at all taken
with Texas and informed the Jour
nal reporter that they had lived in
South Dakota for twenty-nine
years, and would stay another
twenty-nine years in preference to
going to Texas. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kolish have been considering an
exchange Of their South Dakota
land for Texas, but the deal is
probably off.
The advice of the News to those
tempted to try other chimes, is to
follow the example Of this Har-

OPPOSITION TO THIRD TERN

The American people are ire
vocably opposed to a third term OF
the presidency. Our forefathers
who drafted the constitution OF
this government were strongly III
favor of limiting the presidency to
one term, but the matter. how
ever. was finally compromised 10y
making the term for four years
without limiting the occupant OF
the office to a single term.
No one better than Washington
knew the sentiments Of those who
framed our constitution. Some
time before the expiration Of his
FIRST term as president he wrote a
letter to Madison requesting him
to prepare a proclamation to the
people to the effect that he would
not accept a second term. The
final form Of the proclamation as
accepted by Washington contained
the following paragraph:
MAY be allowed further to
add, as Il consideration far more
important, that an early example
of rotation in AN Office Of 50 high
and delicate Il nature may equally
accord with the republican spirit
of our constitution and the ideas
of liberty and safety entertained
by the people
This proclamation was never
made public because it was be-
lieved 1t would be necessary to
keep a man like Washington in Of
flee for d second term. Since
Washington's time, however, it
has been a custom for the party in
power to renOminate the president
for a second term, where he has
given the country a clean admins
tration, but never for a third term.
No man who has ever been
president has violated the preced-
ent established By Washington by
seeking to be president three
times, until Colonel Roosevelt
threw his hat in the ring" In
1880 the friends of Genera! Grant
made an attempt TO have him
nominated a third time, after he,
like Colonel Roosevelt, had been
out Of Office for four years, but the
precedent established by Washing
ton had become the unwritten law
and the people of this country
would not stand for it, notwith-
standing the fact that General
Grant was at that time unquestion-
ably the most popular and most
beloved man Ia the whole United
States.
