LONG TENURE OF OFFICE
A DANGER OF REPUBLIC.
Congressman Mccall Argues Against
Third Terms.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Representative
Samuel w. Mccall Of Massachusetts,
for many years a leader among the
republicans in congress, today aligned
himself with the movement in opposl-
ton to a presidential third term. In a
speech which held the close attention
of the house he declared that danger
to the republic lurked IN long tenure
of office.
"The tremendous influence of execu-
tive power centralized in the hands OF
one strong, unscrupulous man may
easily be adequate in critical times to
remove all limitations upon his tenure
and to change the essential character
of the government" said Mr.. Mccall.
1T is hardly necessary to cite in
stances. Until the consulship of
Caesar the annual election to the lead
ership of the Roman republic became
an idle form, and this annual farce
was performed each year for centuries
under Augustus, Nero and other en-
perOrs.
And if you ask for an instance
nearer to our own country and time,
you have only to turn to the neighbor-
ing republic of Mexico,where autocracy
paved the way for revolution, and only
a bloody war terminated the rule of a
president"
Mr.. Mccall devoted much Of his
speech to quotations from former pres
idents against the third term idea. He
dwelt at length particularly upon the
utterances Of Colonel Theodore Roose-
Welt saying the latter had not attempt
ed to equiv0cate or quibbls over the
technicality OF d second elective
term"
Twice he quoted from Pre- ident
Roosevelt's statement after his cleo
ton in 1904 the following sentence:
Under no circumstances viii I be a
candidate for or accept another r.omi-
nation
There is no equivocation there.
exclaimed Mr.. Mccall. The rotation
in Office which Washington SO earnest
~ favored did not leave room for pass
ing the office on TO a favorite, to be
passed back again"
Mr. Mccall cortended there was
plenty Of good material in the country
for the presidency and no necessity for
violating the precedent against third
term,

run their business for their personal

Il went to the music hall with Mrs.

Jamesworthy, and we heard a splen-

fer, who comes from one of the big
German universities. Some of his
statements were startling. He says
that the average American housewife
wastes enough in day to feed some
foreign families for week"
well, I haven't much use for a man
who calls himself a professor as a
general thing" said Jamesworthy.

RETlRAcY OF A GOOD PUBLIC
OFFICIAL,

Few men are better known through
out Connecticut than Mr.. D. w. Thrall,
who for thirty years has served as
the state agent of the Connecticut So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. and now retires with
honDrs.
The Bristol Press is right when it
says: Most certainly he has been
terror to heartless people who abused
animals or mistreated their fellow
humans. He has been a fearless and
determined official. Possibly he lacked
tact at times, but that was not SO
serious a matter in his day as at
present. for too often the society was
regarded as an interloper and the ap-
pearance Of an official frequently
meant resentment and contention,
sometimes a fight. Mr.. Thran was
just the man for meeting that sort of
a disposition. He could not be blurred,
frightened Or cajoled. He meant bus
mess every time. From our acquaint
ance with him covering many years
a decided liking for him and under
standing of his work developed"
His mission has been that of an
upright man against the merciless and
it must be conceded that he has done
great and a good work. The faults
he has corrected in others are suffi-
cient to atone for any possible wrong
he may have done to any human soul.
He was the man for the place; and
while he worked to better the condi-
ton of the defenceless and dependent,
The Bulletin believes he did not en-
force the law without merciful con-
sideration Of all concerned. This
agency is a difficult position to fill;
and is to be hoped his successor will
prove to be as good as Agent Thrall
was in every respect, and that is good
enough.

South Franklin, Conn.
Not Wanted.

Mr.. Editor: 1 read the article in
your paper written by "a Boomer of
Norwich" in reference to the location
of the tuberculosis colony.
The Franklin residents and property
owners are decidedly opposed to Mr..
Boomers suggestion as to having the
above named set in their midst.
The Cooley farm is situated on the
trunk line from Norwich to Hartford,
therefore the colony would be as much
menace to life as on the road from
Norwich to New London.
OF course we don't blame Mr. Boom
Ell for not wanting this colony in his
district, but we think it hardly fair
Of him to want to place it in our door

Of the league, have just returned from
an extended trip through Connecticut.
They visited 20 cities and towns and

they found the sentiment very strong

The only anti-Taft talk they heard was
from some officials of the grange.

ERAS OF HIGH PRICES.

There is the greatest outcry con-
corning high prices at present that

to be very cheap is very dear. A good
method of bringing any prices down
is by lessening the demand for the
