FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH Is, 1912
THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.

The question of extending the di-
rect Primary to the selection of dele
gates to the National Nominating
Convention is now being warmly dis
cussed by many OF our citizens and
by those OF other States. Two distinct
bills are now before the Maryland
Legislature, both looking To this end,
but differing in detail
We are living in a period OF our his
tory that il putting to the test, the
fundamental theory Of our govern
mental structure, to wit, the voice of
the people. That this is government
"of the people,and by the people and
for the people, none will deny. But just
how far the people can, for their own
well being, come into direct contact
with the administration Of government,
fl The question.
It must d. borne in mind, that our
government il not pure democracy,
but il a representative government
1t is believed that the best results for
the people in respect to their govern
ment can come from chosen represen-
tatives, who will administer the gov
eminent for them
We have perhaps been somewhat
slow In recognizing the principle
that is now thought wholesome, that
the people should not only elect the
persons who are to administer the
government but that they should also
choose the candidates to be voted for.
This brings us up to the direct
Primary, which now obtains in Mary
land in our State Offices. 1t is q
comparatively new thing with us, and
there is difference OF opinion, as to
whether, in it's practical working, it
is better than the old system. I'm
questionably, the theory OF 1t is cor
rect, and We think when We become
better acquainted with 1T, I'll will be
satisfied At least, we believe, it has
come to stay.
Now, there can be no reason why
this principle should not be extended
to the Presidential Primaries. And
80, we believe, it would be wise legis-
lation, and would strengthen the |
Democratic party in the State, il our
present Democratic legislature would
pass a bill looking to this end

A telegram dated March 8 from
Captain ROAD Amundsen, the noted
Swedish navigator, ANNOUNCES that
he reached the South Pole December
14-17, 1911. at the same time he
seemed To intimate that Captain Scott,
"A British navigator, had also reach
ed the pole, but at this writing the in-
formation il % scant and the reports
SO contradictory that we must wait
for further news before the truth can
be learned. Now that both poles have
been found, it will be in order to
show what practical benefits have
been accomplished.

THE THIRD TERM PROPOSITION.

It may be interesting at this. time
for us to consider what former United
States Presidents have said and done
in regard to the third term PROPOSE
ton, since Theodore Roosevelt is, now
a candidate for the Presidential NOM
ination of his party, and thus for a
third term in the White House.
Washington, believing in rotation
i'll Office, preferred To retire att the
end of his first term, but was pre-
vailed upon to accept second. His
farewell address to the American peo-
pie embodies the principle which has
ever since been followed against con-
tinuing any man at the head of the
nation for longer period than eight
years.
Jefferson, when urged from many
sources to become a candidate for a
third term wrote a. follows to the
Legislature Of Vermont:
That # should lay down my charge
at the proper period ID ID much a
duty as to have borne it faithfully.
If some termination to the service Of
the Chief Magistrate be not fixed by
practice, his Office nominaHy for four
years, will, in fact, become for life,
and history shows how easily that
degenerates into Inheritance.
should unwillingly be the person who,
disregarding sound precedent set by
my illustrious predecessor, should
furnish the first example OF prolonga-
ton beyond the second term of Office"
Madison, Monroe and Jackson, each
served two terms, neither expecting
nor permitting their friends to NOM
mate them for reelection. Grant
was the next President to serve two
full terms, and he declined to take any
part in movement which was on
foot to reinstate him. His action led
the Republican state convention Of
New York in September, 1875, To a.
dept the following resolution which
Theodore Roosevelt and his friends
would do well to consider:
Recognizing as conclusive the
Presidents public declaration that he
is not candidate for denomination,
and with the sincerest gratitude for
his patriotic services, we declare
our unalterable opposition to the
election of any President for a third
term"
At il of this same Republican party
of New York, that Roosevelt j. "a
member The words OF Mckinley upon
the third term question are still
fresh in many minds and are of no
unhesitating character:
In view of the reiteration of the
suggestion of it, l say now once and
for all, expressing a long-settled
conviction, that I not only am not
and will not be a candidate for
third term, but would not accept a
nomination for it, were it rendered
me-
50 that the custom Of serving as
President of the United States for
two terms only, is so much part of
our Republican system of govern
ment that any departure from this
time honored custom is regarded by

why should a newspaper mention
the fact that someone has paid in sub
scription? What news value is there
in it? Is it not undignifed? Does it
not tend to keep alive that old notion
that a country newspaper man is a
poyerty-stricken wretch, thankful for
every morsel thrown him like a hun
CRY dog? Isn't it barely possible the
subscriber resents it? Would he stand
for the publication of the fact that he
had come to town and purchased a
paltry dollars worth OF groceries? =?
Did you ever see an item in a depart
ment store ad. like this. Bill Smith,
the old wheel-horse of Squash town
ship who owns the finest farm in the
county, favored us yesterday with a
cart wheel for hat?' Do you sup
pose the subscriber relshes such
items. even if they are loaded with
fulsome hattery? Isn't il possible that
he thinks that any old plug in the
county 'no-eount' or otherwise. can
be made into prominent and sub
stantlal citizen by the payment of
a little. dinky dolIar-and that alto
gether likely on delinquent subscrip-

permit any merchant along the street
