The One-Term Proposition.

Many arguments are advanced in favor
of a single term in the White House. and
in the end the proposition may prevail.
But let us not expect too much If il does
prevail
We are asked to believe that Presi-
dent without hope of a second term would
not be subject to partisan influences or
personal temptations; that he would be-
come in fact the President of all the
people. and measure everything, legisla-
fion as we'll as appointments to office.
by the rule of non-partisan welfare. A
dream.
IneligibiIity would not affect the rule
Of party government, or the force of hu-
man nature. A one-term President would
still appoint party friends to Office, and
still use his place to forward his party 8
policies. He would consider such. to be
his duty, and believe he was best serving
the countrys ends by doing it. He would
stand upon the proposition that what the
people had voted for in electing him was
best for the country. So much for party
government.
AS for everyday human nature. would
not a one-term President be likely to
exert the power Of his office In favor of
the nomination and election of a man in
sympathy with his own views and per-
formances? Nothing is more certain.
Jackson named his successor. Had Lin
coin lived he would have had his prefer
.ence In the contest for the republican
nomination in 1868. Had Carlisle been
nominated in 1896. Cleveland would have
used all the influence of the presidency
in his behalf Had Mckinley lived Roose-
ryol% ted IN
1901. Mckinley would have had great in
huence in the selection, and have picked
some other man. Roosevelt nominated
Taft.
Now as to Mr.. Wilson. He has. been
elected as democrat, and will surround
himself with democratic advisers The
patronage at his disposal will be dis
tributed among democrats. and it will
be his desire to be succeeded by demo-
erat. So that whether the contest comes
in 1916. under the present arrangement.
or in 1918. under the proposed sixayear
term. We shall see Mr.. Wilson interested
in it, and with influence on the demo-
cratic nomination.
As matter of fact, the most interest
tmg speculation of the day relates to. the
question Of who win be Mr.. Wilson 8
lesatee In case he 10 limited to one term
by constitutional amendment, or accept
anee by him Of the Bryan dictum laid
down at Baltimore. VIII it be Mr.. Bryan.
who has made Mr.. Wilson, Mr. Under
wood, to whom Mr.. Wilson is cottonin~
very eonspieuously. or some man not now
In the public eye? Nobody seems to
doubt that Mr.. Wilson will have a favor

OF the presidential power.

Austria's Warlike Aspect.

Austrian minister of war and the chief

hailed as a victory for the war party.

Automatic Train Stops.

For number of years The Star has
been pointing out the necessity of the
adoption by American railroads of auto
matte train-stopping devices to prevent
entrance upon occupied blocks of track
and to check excessive speeds as a means
OF decreasing the percentage of danger
to the travelling public. Pie railroad
Companies have persistently resisted the
suggestion of any automatic interference
yith the operation Of their trains. con-
tending that the block signal system suf-
fees up to the point of human negligence
and recklessness. Inasmuch as human
negligence and recklessness cause most
of the train wrecks in this country, the
argument of the railroads against auto
matte step devices has never convinced
the public. and. the impression today
throughout the country is THAI they are
endeavoring to AVOID the asta1lasion OF

The Biggest Gun.

( 1t does not necessarily follow from the
explosion of a fourteen-inch gun yester-
day at Sandy Hook that a weapon of that
caliber has passed the limit of safety as
regards the strain-resisting quality of
steel. Smaller guns have burst in about
the same manner under proportionate
powder pressure. and al far as known
the fourteen-inch gun can be constructed
that will meet all the tests that can be
applied in time of peace. Indeed, q COM

Blease and the Presidency.

The ungovernable Governor of South
Carolina says he has no hope of reaching
the White House Why not?
He Els not barred because he is a south
ern man. That notion has been exploded
by the election to the presidency Of MIR.
Wilson, who is OF southern birth and edu-
cation. The south is no longer under the
ban. MIR. Wilson's strongest competitors
at Baltimore were southern men-both ma
tives of Kentucky, and trained in SOUTH
ern schools of political thought.
Neither Gov Blease, Mr.. Wilson, Mr..
Clark nor Mr.. Underwood participated in
the civil war. Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Clark
were lads. Mr.. Underwood was not born
until 1862. and Gov. Blease is even young
erAor acts like it. So that a Confederate
record does not stand against either one
of the four.
Does Gov. Blease regard his views about
the Constitution as too extreme for ma
tional consumption? They are extreme.
and, as stated by him. shocking. But
there are political leaders In the United
States with quite as little use for the
Constitution as he has. and they are
busy trying to create sentiment in sup
port of them.
the responses to their appeals. Suppose
a large organization results from the agi-
tation of the proposition that the Consti-
tuition Is archaic, and hinders rather than
helps good government in this era Of
grace and hustle. Suppose platform
asserting, as much is written, and men be-
gin to train for leadership on it. Why
should not Gov. Blease enter the lists?
OF course. he would have to submit his
vocabulary to a manicurist. In its present
state it needs pairing. However freely a
man may indulge In explosives in private
conversation with men, he cannot without
ffoss of prestige ana influence so indulge
himself In public. Whatever his topic
then may be. or whatever the character
of his audience, he must cut out pro-
family.
| Is Gov please ineligible on this score!
Is his contempt for the Constitution SC
deep and pronounced he cannot think OF
or discuss the subject without passion
and a flood of explosives? Is there no
place. short Of hades to which he might
Danish the Constitution and ease his
mind?
Let him. ponder these things. He is
young, and with one sentence has
achievevd a national reputation. II hull
iabaloo- increases in the land, and the
loudest voice and most confident strut
are to win. why should not the Governor
of South Carolina prove very formidable
competitor for the national prize?

Navy Yard Laborers.
From the New York Tribune,


No doubt the democratic spoilsmen Will
bo as indignant over President Taft's
order putting 10000 skilled laborefs In
the navy yards under civil service regu-
lations as they are over the placing Of
fourth-class postmasters under the rules
That. too. will be proclaimed as a mid
night order" But as matter OF fact
they have no reason to complain, for the
order is merely arformal restoration OF
conditions established by Nr. Cleveland
and practically. though not formally, con-
tinued ever since. Mr.. Cleveland on
November 2. 1S96-another midnight order
placed the skilled labor. Of the navy
yards under the regulations. carrying out
a recommendation Of the civil service
commission made in the previous July
Since then these laborers have been Sc
lected solely on account Of tested merit
In 1860. however. the Attorney General
gave an opinion that the civil service law
did not In terms cover them, as it was
supposed to do after the Cleveland order
The new order is now made to put the
method of selecting through examination
on the proper legal basis. That method
OF selection, however, has been followed
In the interval, and the order Is not q
covering in Of anybody appointed through
favor. 1t Is just the perfecting Of the

A Stand for Civilization.
m the Chicago Journal

From the Chicago Journal
Greece has taken stand which entities
her to the respect of the civilized, world.
She has declared that the Balkan allies
should improve this chance to secure JUS
tice and decent government for all Chris
tan populations under Turkish rule: for
the Armenians in Asia as well az for the
Macedonians In Europe. The other allies
seem ready to grab slice of Turkish ter
ritory and quit. The Hellenic kingdom
may be compelled to abandon her posi-
ton. But that she has taken it at all is
gain for civilization and a just matter
for Greek pride.
