FOR A SIX YEAR TERM.


From the standpoint of the business
men of the country, there would seem
10 be no more desirable political re-
form than the election of president
for term Of six years, and denying
to him reelection. Or, at least, that
expert on matters OF finance and busi-
ness, Henry Clews, the New York
banker, so writes in his current week
ly financial review. On this point he
says:
The disturbance TO business arising
from the presidential election once
more emphasizes the desirability OF
making the term of office six years
instead of four. The present cam
paign began year ago and has been
unusually bitter and full of personal
determination. 1t promises to be even
more exciting before the end is
known. Why should the legitimate
activities of 94,0O0,O00 of people be
arrested oftener than necessary? 1t
is quite true that the country will
consume as much food, and wear as
many clothes, and require as much
shelter as at any other time. Never
theless, the material prosperity Of the
nation is inevitably checked, simply
because enterprise is deadened by fear.
New projects are deferred, risks are
avoided and the total business conse-
quently diminished. Labor, quite as
much as capital, is injured by this
harmful excitement, for the main
springs of industry cannot be impair
ed without affecting the whole social
fabric. In Great Britain national cleo
tions are only held when required by
political exigencies. No regular time
is appointed. A general election quick
ly follows dissolution of parliament;
SO that while the crisis may be sharp
it is always short and not dragged
along for weary months as in the Uni
ted States. Moreover, the long period
of apprehensive anticipation which is
usually worse than the actual crisis is
ayerted. The British system is really
more sensitive to public opinion than
our own, the very promptness with
which it responds tending to moderate
political excitement. When the cleo
ton is over period of several years
usually elapses before another change
in government intervenes. With us
the certainty that new election will
take place at given time encour-
ages too early start and unneces-
sarily prolongs the period of harmful
suspense and apprehension. The
president of the United States should
save term Of not less than six years,
and no second term.-Topeka Jour
nal.

"The scenery of Colorado is the

you have them beaten hands down

the Texas takes to the water it will
mean that so far as future construc-
tion is concerned all the battleships OF
| the American navy will be of the pow.
erful type, now popularly known as
the per-dreadnought class. The
Texas is sister ship of the New
York, now building at the New York
, navy yard. These two ships will rep.
val construction. They will embody
to a greater degree than any Of theil
predecessors, the united experience
and thought of the various branches OF
the naval service, and the officers OF
both line and staff unite in the be-
lief that these two ships are the most
powerful vessels under construction
today. The Oklahoma and the Neva-
da, the plans for which have been
drawn but which are not yet under
construction, will carry the same bat
teries as the Texas and the New York
and will be identical in all essential
features. Practically the only diff
ference will be in tonnage, the dis
placement of the Oklahoma and Ne
vada being 500 tons greater than that
of the ship to be launched at Newport
News tomorrow.
Not only in size but in the caliber
of the guns at their main batteries
will the New York and Texas be the
most formidable battleships ever built
up to the present time. Heretofore the
13-inch gun has been the limit in cali
ber of naval guns. The New York
and Texas, however, will each carry
ten l4-inch guns, mounted two in a
turret, and so arranged that all of
them can be fired in broadside, or
forward, or aft at the same time. The
weight of the projectiles fired in a
broadside from these two ships would
be 2S,0O0 pounds.
The arrangement of three turrets
aft and two forward of the bridge
is the work of the naval construction
corps of the United States navy.
Great Britain has followed this design
in her new dreadnoughts, and this is
considered one of the highest compli-
ments ever paid American designers
and constructors.
The armor belt of the Texas and the
New York will be thirteen and one
half inches thick, and the casing of
the barbettes thirteen inches. In the
turrets the armor will vary from nine
to eighteen inches in thickness, and
the armor Of the coming tower and
tube will be sixteen inches. The COW
ering of the gun deck is to be three
inches thick, and that of the protec-
tive deck two inches.
An idea Of the steadily increased
size and gun efficiency of American
battleships is given by table that
begins with the old battleship Texas,
which was rechristened the San Mar
cos and sunk in Chesapeake bay as
result Of being used as target for
the big guns of the battleship New
Hampshire. The table is as follows:

with the exception of the Idaho
class, the keel of which was laid in
1904, each succeeding class of bat
tleships has been larger and more
powerful than those that came before.
With the increased size and armament
has come a corresponding increase in
the cost of the great floating for
tresses. The old battleship Texas was
built and equipped at cost of $2,-
100000, while the cost of the hull
and machinery alone of the new bat
