PRESIDENT FOR
one Term ONLY
Movement On Again For a
Change in Constitution
New York World.)

What is reported to be a strongly
supported movement has been under
taken to procure the adoption by the
republican national convention of a
plank. advocating a series of consti-
tutional changes concerning the pres
idency. These are to be five in num-
Der:
1. The term of Office is extended
to six years.
2. No person who has been presi-
dent shall again be elected to that
office.
3. No nomination for president or
vice president shall be made prior to
the election of members of the cleo
toral college.
a. Presidential electors are to be
chosen one from each congressional
district by direct vote of the people.
5. The president of the senate shall
exercise the ministerial function of
opening and counting the votes of the
college,
The main features of the proposed
program present nothing new. From
the very birth of the constitution the
advisability of permitting the re-elec-
ton of a president has been doubted,
debated and opposed. Moreover, the
opposition has never been either par
tisan or sectional Presidents Jack
son and Cleveland have sustained it
among democrats, and Presidents
Hayes and Harrison among republi-
cans. Webster advocated it in the
North Jefferson in the South, and
Clay in the West.
In times past the discussion has
been mainly academic, the issue never
pressed urgently upon the people for
solution. Events now occurring tend
to make it an important feature Of
the campaign. The mutual criminal
tons and determinations between
the contending wings of the republi-
can party afford impressive proof that
the existing method of procuring pres
idential nominations is an obstacle to
good government.

Pike Once Hlah Priced Fish.

The pike IS fish for which now
there is little demand. Yet Edward L.,
who regulated the prices of different
fish, that his subjects might not be
at the mercy of the vendors, fixed the
values of pike higher than fresh sal

WHIPPING POST
is NOT CRUEL

To try to correct the wrong impression
that prevails relative to the alleged cruilty
and barbarous punishment of the whip
ping post in Delaware, Chief of Police
George Black, of Wilmington, will deliver
an address before the international Asso-
citation of Chiefs of Police at their annual
convention in Toronto, Canada, this
month. Chief Black says that incorrect
and exaggerated reports of whippings, as
sent broadcast through the country, have
caused many to think criminals i'll Della
ware are treated in most inhumane
manner when whipped at the post. He
will demonstrate before the convention
that the whipping post is not cruel
and that it has a wholesome
effect as a deterrent on the criminal class
in this State.

Record For U. S. Coin.

The highest price ever paid for an
American coin, and possibly the high
est ever given by a collector for a rare
coin of any mintage, was $1,000, which
Henry c. Chapman. of Philadelphia,
paid for an American half-eagle that
is the gem OF the collection gathered
by George II. Earle, Jr, Of Philadel-
phia, and now being auctioned by Da,
Wis & Harvey, $40 Walnut street.
Only one other coin of the same
pattern, and that an inferior specimen,
is in the possession of the United
States government. The specimen
bears the date Of 1898. Three of the
pattern were minted, and the third
never has been recorded in any col.
lection 1t is believed to have been

NORGAARD RECOMMENDS BOARD
EXTEND CANPAIGN ON STOCK

Hawaii and Maui, are of the opinion
that tuberculosis has recently begun
to spread at much increased rate
among the dairy herds in their re-
spective districts, and, further, that !
have every reason to believe that had
the work of eradication been delayed
OF deferred even one year longer here,
We should have found conditions
which it would have been impossible
to tackle without extraordinary means
and measures.
There have been times during the
past four years when | have teen IN
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY or the
justice of the policy adhered to, that
is. the absolute and uncOmpromising
eradication of the disease. the tolera-
ton not even of single reactlng AMI
nal on premises where milk is pro-
Guced for human consumption, burt |
am happy to say, that as the reports
on similar work done in other states,
territories or foreign countries are re-
Ceived, it has become more and more
certain, that under conditions like
! those which obtain here, there can be
20 representation. no dilatory meth
ods.-that if We were to conquer the
disease here. it could ME only by way
OF the slaughter house and not by any
/ Bank, 'OStertag or birmingham or
any other method of eradication.
After devoting many pages to a re-
sumo Of reports of the tenth lnterna-
tional tuberculosis Congress held IN
Rene this summer. DR.. NorgaGrd re-
turns to the local question in part as
follows:
But taken altogether the improve
ment in the local milk supply which
! has resulted directly from the eradl-
| cation of tuberculosis from the herds,
not alone on account Of the removal
! of the diseased animals, but to very
great extent also from the enforce
ment of the provisions Of the Milk Or

visits Of the inspecting and testing OF,

munity.
t WHEN to this is added that outside
! Of the purchase of an autOmoDlle'
which would have been required any
! how no special expenditure or apDro-
priation has been required, that in
feet this Division, in spite Of increased
! duties, is doing al! the work with one

Ing biennial period, thea it seems TO
INC that there is every reason tor the

same time remembering the appalling
prevalence of tuberculosis among the
population here, and especially among
the natiYes-more than 20 per cent.
of all cases of generalized tuberculosis
among children under 16 years being
due to the bovine type of tubercle ba-
cilli, that is, tuberculosis introduced
by milk from tuberculous cows, then
it appears to me indefensible to allow
a single tuberculous animal to remain
in the islands since it has been DEM
onstrated conclusively that the disease
can be eradicated. ..
In the estimates of expenditures or
the Division of Animal Industry for
the present year | asked for $4,000 for
the extension of the bovine tubercu-
losis work to the other islands. AS
| am informed that no money is avail
able for the purpose, | would respect
fully suggest, in case the board ap-
proves of the proposed work and so
long as the sum required is ins1gnlfl-
cant in comparison to the human lives
which may be conserved, that possibly
the means can be obtained from other
sources. The last Legislature, for in
stance, appropriated $4,000 for tu-
berculosis work If all of this money
has not been expended, | can see no
better way to do it than by assisting
in eXterminating the only known
source of. human infection which can
be eXternlinated.'

Thinks Fight Against Animal
tuberculosis Should Extend
to Other Islands

DR.. Victor A. Norgaard, in a report
to the board of agriculture and"fOres-
try on human and bovine tuberculosis,
speaks of the. great work done on this
island in eradiCatiDg tuberculosis
from dairy cattle herds and urges the
extension of the campaign to the 9TH
er islands. He says in opening:
-Four years ago | had the honor to
represent this board as a delegate to
the Ninth International tuberculosis
Congress, held at Washington, D. c.
LAS a result thereof do not hest
tate to say that the city and county
of Honolulu is today practically free
from bovine tuberculosis, and that
the milk supply of Honolulu has been
improved hundred-fOfd, and is to-
day on a par with the best that is to
be found anywhere. Thereby is not
meant that it is perfect-far from it,
as will be shown, but what in most
places is considered an insurmount-
able obstacle, something to avoid or
shirk or circumvent, that is, the Grad
ication of tuberculosis from the dairy
herds, has been accomplished in one
of the counties of the territory, and
has demonstrated that the same can
be done in the entire group.
The principal reason | am taking
this subject up at some length in this
report is that two of my deputies, on
