Single Term of Presidents?

On Saturday, sFeb. l, the United
States Senate passed, by a vote of A
ID % Gone vote mole tnan the neces-
sary two-thirds) a resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the Constitution
extending the Presidents. tenure OF
office to six years and limiting him to
one term. > Considered from all angles
it is quite TemAkAble action.
Looked at from Sh@sfasdpoint it is
rather amusing. From another it is
serious. Fortunately the people
themselves must pass upon it if the
House passes ii. as is quite likely.
The Democratic platform of last
year declared for single term Mr..
Wilson refused To commit himself on
it. Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends
assume that the action is aimed sole
ly at him. The Democrats claim that
the country has voted Overwhelmingly
against third term, but in any event
il is much easier to attack a third
term than il is TO defend a single
term. Mr.. Wilson's friends are anx-
ious that the proposed law shall not
apply TO him, while on the other hand
are Democratic aspirants for presi-
Dental honors who are more or less
alarmed for fear the action which
Congress is likely 10 take may not be
ratified within the four years and that
Wilson will get ten years out of the
political exigeneies hopper.
After all the politics and the selfish
purposes have been aired, the people
are TO take their time in considering

themselves, will be:

The venerable and it would seem.
thTeadbare, Spanish fortune" swindle
has been resurrected once more. and
letters are now being received in vari-
Gus sections of Maine. These letters tell
the same old story, that the writer,

large fortune of embeZZled money if
he could get the expenses of trial and
gain access to a place where The nee
{ ssary documents are hidden The
amount represented in the letters is
$3.50, 900. and the writer. who signs
himself S. Solovien, asserts be is will
ing 10 part with third Of the money
to get the funds. As in all these let
tiers, the writer requests his victim to
answer by cable if he is willing to COM
nit himself TO the enterprise. The let
tiers are postmarked from Madrid. ana
an alleged newspaper clipping of the
writer's arrest is enclosed. Hundreds
of people have been Victimized by this
game The intended victim is usually
lured TO some city like New York, after
several congratulations. and is then
robbed or buncaed out of various sums
of money. A human interest touch is
implied in The letters by the writer. In
every case reference is made t. some
beautiful girl who will be saved by
the victim. The beautiful girl is
generally used as an accomplice in the
final development of the swindle.

BOURNE GIVES BOOST

In company with Major j. j. Nor

dam and Cello Canal last Thursday,
says a dispatch to the 0regonian from
The Dalles. Following his recent re-
turn from Washington, he is making
short trips to various parts of the state
to familiarize himself with the ad-
vancements which have taken place
during his absence. MIR. Bourne was
amazed at the immense amount of
work that had been accomplished on
the canal since his last visit.
''The waterway. when completed,
will greatly benefit The Dalles, which
should be the natural shipping point
East, West and South" predicted the
ex-senator. adding that the city is
ideally located. MIR. Bourne highly
complimented Congressman Sinnott, of
The Dalles.
"Sinnott is making name for him
self in Washington. he said. ''He is
capable man and will do much for
this section of Oregon.
''lt takes hard work to make any
headway in Washington. and Nick is
full of work. This district should
keep Sinnott in Congress by all
means.
