And the congressman, used to
rising in their chairs and talking
loftily of American labor and

A SINGLE PRESIDENTIAL TERN OF SIX YEARS.

N y attempt is to be made at the coming session OF Congress
IN to pass an amendment 10 he voted on by the states
extending the presidential term to six years and making
the President ineligible for reelection. The resolution will be
worded to apply 10 the term of the Presidentelect. rs MIR.
Taft. who has no presidential future, fayors the idea the reso-
luton may pass the House and Senate. but its ratification by the
States is extremely improbable. With the President restricted
TO a single term of six years there would be nothing 10 prevent
BIN from using his power 10 nominate and elect a candidate nj
his choice and one pledged TO certain policies and interests. BY
the proposed amendment the people would be forbidden IN a
great national emergency 10 keep in office Il President like
Washington or Lincoln. They would have to endure for Two
Gears longer the presidency of some man who had proven ut
terlv unworthy of his great trust. The plan proposed was dis
russed when the national Constitution was adopted. Thomas
Jefferson was for a term Of four wears without any renewal
lie could Sc neither reason nor safety in a longer single
term. jefferson at that time was conscious of the peril of
nonarchism, knowing that the republic was weak and untried
phd that Il urge and influential element of the population was
Tory in principle. The nation is not without it's Tories today,
hut the republic is too we'll planted 10 be destroyed. 1t is al
says hard to get Il people TO consciously tie their own hands
in their organic law. That was done unvittingly by the people
Of New jersey in the State Constitution of 1911. They didn't
know What hey were doing.

The Turkish Exodus

H
War correspondents say the Turk
ish population is fleeing before the
Bulgarian army. leaving the country
behind them uninhabited. No move
like this has taken place since
the Middle Ages. A correspondent
says: This ~headlong fight of the
population eastward and southwark
is no ordinary fugitive's flight from
home scenes to which they will re-
turn. There is and has been for a
week no one beyond Tchorlu. The
hordes seem to have fallen back to-
ward Constantinople by instinct.
Their villages have all been burned
and they viii erect villages ON the
other side of the Bosphorus.r
In view of this, and in view of the
way the flower Of the Turkish army
was moved down by the Bulgariana.
