THE SIX YEAR TERN.
YES.

The Presidency is the highest posi-
tion the United States can offer on
of its citizens. 1t is an Office of vas
importance and weighty responsible
ties. 1t is the central point arount
which revolves our complicated sys
TEN of government But under oul
present inevitable system of party
politics and constitutional require.
ments the President is hampered and
harassed in many ways. There are
conditions which make II impossible
for him to render the most efficient
service
An amendment to the constitution
making the term of Office six years
without reelection would snap a few
of the fetters which hamper the eff
forts of the President. The Senate
has passed such a resolution.
The policies and acts of the Presi-
dent are certain to be Influenced more
or less unconsciously, If not conscious
ly. in his first four years in Office. Re-
election is a goal which inspires to
political efforts. 1t is an inevitable
result. therefore, that the President
must become inveigled into political
strife And this takes much of his
valuable time.
President serving a single six
year term would have more time to
become intelligently acquainted with
the affairs of his Office. He could
turn his attention more incisively to
matters concerning the public well
fare. He could extend the executive
power in many needed ways. He
would have many more hours to spend
upon public business that formerly
were spent in the interest of politics. |
His efficiency as a public officer
would be increased many-fold.

of things in general almost a. wei
as when a student, lacking Of course
the strenuosity and full quota Of en-
joyment as when done in person.
1t has been said that the best ad
vertisement a school can have Is its
students and graduates. This Is per.
haps true but to be the best advertise.
ment one must keep up-to-date on the
progress of the school; and the best
way to do this, II you can't make fire.
quent visits is to read the MissOurian.
This brings me to another point
which in reality l started to write
about and this is the proposed stunt
week. Because of the many argu-
ments that have been in the Missouri
an there is little left for me to say,
but that I am strongly for it. My
friend, Doug" from Wyoming has
hlst about hit the nail on the head
with regards to the way most of the
alumni feel about commencement
week. 1t has but little interest for
the seniors, who are to receive de-
grees. much less the alumni who have
passed the ordeal What is there to
bring an alumni back at commence
ment time. especially il he is a long
way from Missouri? He will meet
only few of his old acquaintances:
there is very little college spirit to
arouse the old time enthusiasm as
the majority of the students are gone;
there are few functions which are of
real interest to him so about the only
Thing left to do is to wander around
and look at the campus and the old
buildings and a few new ones, which
admit is certainly an inspiration
but hardly strong enough to justify a
rip half way across the continent
Dr. perhaps farther once a year.
But think. what a change there
would be if all of the departments
'aved up their stunts until commence
nent week. a whole week full OF
'leasure when one has nothing to do |
'ut just have a good time All of
he students would be there, one
would experience once more real COL
ege spirit and there would be some
hing going on all the time. The
lumni would come back by the hun
reds, where they now come by the
ems. They would meet their old
riends and classmates, class reunions
ould be held and permanent class
rganizations would be formed.

NO.

Who shall be our next President
This is at all times a question fo
the electorate to decide. The Con
stitution now adequately specifies the
qualification required for the Office
Where in the history of the Nation has
there been need for the single six
year term?
In the last election a President was
campaigning for reelection and ac-
cording to growing sentiment Vas
entitled to second term. The elec-
torate cast off tradition and voted
for a change. In other campaigns the
voters have shown common sense and
independence in their choice of men
to fill the highest Office in the Union.
Coming as the single term measure
does in the track of a campaign in
which former president fought so
keenly for a third term, it looks as If !!
the measure were framed to prevent
this man from becoming President.
The single term measure is a blow
at the efficiency of the electorate. 1t
takes away from presidents the in
centive to work well in the hope of re-
election. 1t would limit the choice of
he people in national crises. r

pick up his grip from the place wher
he had just placed it and leave on tn

An honest old grocer finally turned

thought of his town.
NO wonder you don't want to buy
any more goods. Your town is dead"
he said. Some day you will awaken
to this fact and you'll be voting the
saloons back in. I've never seen a
dry town yet that was business town.
and I've lived in both kinds"
do you really think that a town
is better of with saloons?" The old
grocer spoke in such a calm, delibera-

drummer smiled at him. The smile
was somewhat cynical.
Now for the Argument.
Indeed l do. I've made a thorough
