A REFORM THAT WILL COME.

All of the uncertainty, doubt and
consequent decentralization of business
attendant upon a presidential election,
which Is hardly passed before prelim-
mary symptoms appear again, sustain
the conviction held by many that the
presidential term should be fixed at
six years and reelection forbidden. Re
cent developments have made more
more real the need of this change in
governmental policy.
A term OF six years should give a
president ample time to work out the
policies he approves, while the prohibi-
ton Of another term would relieve him
OF any desire or temptation 10 shape
his conduct with a view TO achieving
reelection. The American people are
clearly opposed TO the third term idea
and equally so TO the absurd idea that
any single man is essential TO The sue
cessful prosecution Of needed reforms.
American democracy as framed by the
makers OF the constitution has stood
the test OF time and with this amend

Other issues of veracity are certain
to arise from day to day while Mr.
Roosevelt remains a candidate for a
third term; yet we believe that all of
these questions admit of a plausible
and honorable explanation. Most peo-
pie do not understand Mr.. Roosevelt's
language
For example, Nov. S, 1904, he said
that under no circumstances will l
be a candidate for or accept another
termination" Everybody took it for
granted that these words meant what
they seemed to say. This was a mis-
take. Mr.. Roosevelt explained to his
Boston friends last week that this
statement really meant that he would
not accept another consecutive" nom

But for the foresight, it is said, ola

Of the greatest states of the northwest
Oregon and Washington.
Marcus Whitman had crossed the
plains and the mountains to Oregon
and knew from a years residence the
value Of the country. he also knew
that the Hudson Bay company was
anxious to obtain possession of the
whole northwest and had circulated
the report that it was impossible for
emigrants to cross the mountains in
wagons.
At a dinner given in 1912, at which
DR.. Whitman and several of the COM
pany's chief officers were present
news was received that a band Of
British emigrants had crossed the
mountains. Toasts were drunk In hon.
or of the event. Now the Americans
may whistle-the country is oursp' one
Of the Englishmen is reported to have
exclaimed jubilantly.
But Whitman thought otherwise.
The next day he started for Washing
ton on horseback. He made the jour-
ney in winter and with frozen limbs
called on Daniel Webster, then secre-
tsry of state. Upon his presentation
of the situation Whitman was grufly
told by Webster that the country was
worthless and that he, as secretary of
state, was about to trade that worth
less region" for valuable concessions
with reference to the Newfoundland
fisheries.
Finding that a treaty had already
been approved by the senate and was
awaiting formal ratification and proc
lamation by President Tyler, DR.. Whit
man sought the president. When the
missionary had finished his story the
president said:
"Sir, your frozen limbs attest your
sincerity. Can you take emigrants
across the mountains in wagons?"
"Give me six months and / will take
1000 across" answered the doctor.
"lf you can take them across" add
ed Tyler, ''the treaty shall not be rati-
fed"
In 1s43 a band of emigrants under
the guidance Of the doctor started from
Missouri for Oregon. A deputation
from the Hudson Bay company met
them on the plains, advising them that
il was impossible for them to cross the
mountains in their wagons. The emf
| grants decided to leave their wagons
and finish the journey on horseback.
AS this course would have ruined
Whitman's plan of saving the country
70 the United States, he labored with
the leaders of the band until they con-
sented TO follow the doctors advice
/ and guidance. The band did cross the
mountains in their wagons, the treaty
was not ratified, and the fertile north

These men remind one of the Ameri-
can civil engineer who was trying to
put a railroad through South Ameri
can country. He was asking for local
support and was showing up the ad-
vantage Of his project.
The engineer said to a native, How
long does it take you to carry your
goods to market by muleback?'
Three days" was the reply.
Exactly" detained the American,
and then he put this in for clincher:
With our road in operation you could
take your goods to market and be
back home in one day"
The native was plainly puzzled, and
scratching his head, asked anxiously:
But what would you do with the other
two days?"
There are enough good sportsmen in
the United States to put the ban on

they will not perhaps the nation can

New York WorId)


1t is unfortunate that a new issue
of veracity is raised at every step of
Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign. Two such
issues took definite form yesterday.
Sunday a paragraph was made pub
lie from letter written by Mr.. Roose-
welt June 27, 1911, in which he is re-
ported to have said:
Il have expressed myself perfectly
freely to a large number of men In
this matter, always to the same effect,
telling you, for instance, personally,
and those who were with you at lunch
at my house, and telling Clifford Pin
chot, Jim Garfield and Congressman
Madison, and Billy Loeb and Secre-
tary Meyer and Secretary Stimson, all
alike, just exactly what l have said
always, that l would not be a candi-
date in 1912 myself, and that had no
intention of taking any part in the
nomination for or against any candi-
date"
In reply Mr.. Roosevelt issued a for
NAL statement asserting that probably
the language is not correctly given"
The letter has since been printed in
full; the language was exactly quoted
and there were no qualifying express
sions
In the other case, former Senator
Hansbrough charged in the World that
Mr.. Roosevelt, after promising to
prosecute the Harvester trust, pre-
vented such prosecution. Mr.. Roose-
welt answered that this was "a lie
made out OF whole cloth" Mt Hans
brough now challenges Mr.. Roosevelt
to deny that he told me he would
prosecute the Harvester trust on the
Townsend report" and to deny that
later he wrote a letter TO Attorney
