FIXING THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

The United States Senate has passed measure
by which the presidential term is extended to six
years and limited to one term. This is in accord with
sentiment that has been growing for years. Per-
haps it would have remained merely sentiment for
many years, had it not been for the weknown activ
tiles of Theodore Roosevelt who in his insistence that
the people rule, thought to put aside the honored
custom of the possible two of four years each

THE LEGISLATURE.

Christensen proposes to abolish the office of lieu
tenant governor and perhaps the idea is good one
but if the office is abolished, then subsequent legis
latures will be devoid of any ornamental feature.
Governor Lister has warned the appointive state
officials against hanging around Olympia dong the
lobbying act We suspect the officials in question are
more interested in Gov Lister than they in what
the legislature will do and they in Olympia quietly
lobbying with friends of the governor to for
time at least their official heads
It is more than likely that Gov Lister will vetoe
the Cheney normal school appropriation, and if he
does it will not be passed his veto. Schools
very essential to the success Of state community
but there is such thing having too much schools
and this seems to be one of those times
The senate has passed the teachers pension bill
and it is before the house for it's consideration
This bill has the support of some of the most infu-
entail persons of the state and the teachers themselves
are solid for it's passage but in spite of all this looks
very much like class legislation.
The Mothers Pension bill has run the gauntlet of
the house and has been transmitted to the senate for
it's consideration The present Legislature promises to
hold the record for passing pension acts if those
under consideration passed, and it looks as if
they will be.
Ii hughes bill becomes law, Washington Will
have official flag the proposition did not look good
to Foster, and he went after it with hammer and
tongues but the other members of the house it in
another light and supported the There seems
to be nothing wrong in the state having official
flag and to minds it will be showing no dsrespect
whatever to Old Glory
The present legislature is considering the advisa-
biity of pensonng judges after they have served
the bench The most of the judges in Seattle pres
ent in excellent financial circumstances and for
them to accept pension would be like prize-fghter
taking candy from a baby.
Gerrymanderng the congressional districts of the
state by the present legislature would be very fool
ish move, and that too, without regard the party
it benefited Let the state be dstricted according to
the rules laid down by Congress- and also to the best
advantage of the state itself and good sense will be
shown
