One Term for Presidents.

There is very much TO recommend the
constitutional amendment making presi-
dents ineligible for reelection. 1t Is not
30 certain that the term should be pro-
lcaged to six years. There Is no neces-
sary connection between the two. but
propositions to make the president in

Federal Control Of Rivers.

No jealous regard for states rights
obtrudes itself In the presence Of the

OF dollars worth Of property and
some lives have been destroyed BY
the Mississippi river floods, and now

Louisiana are ready to unite and are
