was cheered for several minutes. Will
sons reference to the currency awak-
ened the greatest interest. He de-
clared the country could not break any
currency reform which concentrates
the control in the hands of bankers,
because the country knows banks are
bound by thousand ties and in many
intricate ways.
Hearst Scores Roosevelt
Hearst predicted the progressive
republicans would not support Taft,
La Toilette or Roosevelt; not Taft.
because he opposed or was Indifferent
to them; not La Toilette because he
should be in the democratic party,

sacrificed every progressive principle
and betrayed the interests of the peo-
pie for the sordid support of some
criminal trust" and would make the
progressive movement ridiculous.

gramme spoke on the Passing of
Plutocracy." He characterized the
movement for the popular election of

form of the generation and urged

troversy and endorsed the direct pri-
mary issue and advocated it's applica-
ton to national elections in every
state.

THIRD TERM BUGABOO.

New York World, (Anti-Roose-
velt), Dec. Is. 1907: In the state
ment which Mr.. Roosevelt issued on
the night of the 1904 election and
repeated Wednesday night, he re-
ferred to "the wise custom which
limits the President to two terms. /"
There is such a custom. 1t is one
OF the most persistent traditions in
the American politics. In the minds
Of some persons it is more sacred
than a provision of the constitution.
But does it merit the reverence and
veneration with which it has been
invested?
The convention which framed the
constitution had been in session on
ly two weeks when in committee of
the whole it took up the resolution
providing that national executive
be instituted. After a very brief
debate Pinckney's motion was
adopted fixing the term at seven
years and making the President in
eligible for reelection. Later the
convention took the view of Hamil-
ton, Morris and others that to make
the President ineligible would only
tempt him to make corrupt use of
his power while in office. The term
was reduced to four years and the
matter of reelection left with the
people and the presidential electors.
To guard against hasty action in
selecting a chief magistrate the con-
vention created the elaborate ma
chinery of the electoral college. 1t
was provided that the electors
should meet in their respective
states to vote. They were not to see
each other or to confer together.
One of the reasons why the conven-
ton refused to permit congress to
select the chief executive was to
prevent collision or agreement in
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-03-19

caucus was not crushed until 1924
when Crawford's nomination was
repudiated by Jackson's supporters
and the election of President was
again thrown into the. House Of
Representatives.
Following the caucus came the
national convention, which did not
fully materialize until 1882. The
first Democratic national convention
was employed by Jackson as q
means of making Van Buren, Vice
President. The second national
convention was likewise controlled
by Jackson, who used it as an in
strument to appoint Van Buren, his
successor in the presidency.
The convention method, regard
less of the letter and spirit Of the
constitution, has continued in force
ever since. No presidential elector
would dare exercise the independent
judgment which the trainers Of the
constitution intended and expected
he would exercise. Although we
have been disregarding since the
beginning of the republic the meth
cd of choosing president which
the fathers devised, we are expect
ed to believe that republican insti-
buttons will crumble if we fail for
ever to respect an unwritten man
date which they refuse to incorpor-
ate into the organic law.
We are told that the reelection
of any president to a third term
would mean the Mexicanization of
the United States, but two Of the
democratic Presidents who have
been canonized by their party-Jef-
ferson and Jackson-named their
successors when they themselves re-
tired from ofice-something no liv-
ing king or kaiser would be allow
ed to do.

REAL COAL FAMINE
DUE IN YEAR 2Ol5
Professor Kay Says Uncle Sans Sup.
ply will Last Less than Century.

Des Moines, March 1.-THE year
2015 will see the United States
without one ton OF coal, according
to Prof. George F. Kay OF the state
university, If the consumption in
.creases at the present rate, who lect-
ured yesterday afternoon before the
geology classes at Drake. "The pro-
duction OF 100000, 100000 tons in
1909 is an enormous DRAIN" said
Professor Kay. "At that rate 1t will
be just about ninety-three years un-
til from the famous Pittsburgh an
thracite to the poorest western lig-
mite, this nation will be denuded Of
its coal BEDS" Three hundred bill
lions Of tons are now accessible for
mining but a large part of this is
exceedingly poor fuel.
Our own state has $4,000 square
miles of coal land and about a.
000,000,o0o tons in sight. Seven
teen thousand men are now busy
at work mining this mineral wealth
and have already taken out over
1000, 100000 tons. THE rate of
increase is stupenduous," said this
famous geologist yesterday, none
can comprehend what drain future
generations will make on this sup
ply"

WHAT is VALUE?

Recently a Richmond woman pur-
chased in an antique shop life
sized portrait of an infant. She paid
So for the dusty old painting, and
when she sent it to an artist to be
cleaned she found that it was worth
$4,000. 1t was a genuine Sully
painting. The incident illustrates
the value of reputation. Because it
was not known in the antique shop
that the painter was Sully the por-
trait was worth only IS. When it
was known that Sully was the
painter the portrait was worth
$4,000. The question that natural
ly arises is whether the intrinsic
worth OF the portrait was SIS or s5,-
600. The probability is that it was
worth little more than the low
figure and much less than the high
figure.
Gen. Fred Funston, who gained
fame in the Spanish American war,
was something of literary man be-
fore he became generally known.
That is, he wrote some for the mag
azines, but his productions were not
in great demand and he received
small remuneration for his efforts
with the pen. After he gained dis
tinction he found ready sale at
high prices for the very manu-
scripts that had been before reject
