THE THIRD TERM PROPOSITION

Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy is
giving rise to a good many questions.
a very interesting one is this: If he
gets a third term, how many more will
ne want?
LII he wanted more he would be in
position to do great deal toward get
ting them. The power of the presiden-
cy is enormous; and Mr.. Roosevelt has
shown how successful it may be used
by a resoHrceful politician. During his
seven and a half years in the White
House he had his way in congress and
out, and was able at the end to hand
over the reins to a man of his own
choice. He loves power, and is an adept
at its employment.
Take the case. If the democracy is
voted out, the party voted in will face
very large order. AT the close of the
war. reorganization will be world
problem. We shall have to make many
changes in both our foreign and domes-
tic affairs. New treaties will have to
be negotiated. new tariff on lines
differing greatly from the lines Of the
present tariff will have to he fashioned.
Our currency laws will have to be ad-
lusted TO the new world conditions.
Matters growing out of the policy of
preparedness will occupy attention for
some years.
With what zeal Mr.. Roosevelt as
chief director would enter into all this
we can all easily imagine. He could
not evade the tariff. as he did some
years ago, The development of the
preparedness policy would appeal to
him strongly. He would tackle that
with all his soul and might. And then
to supplement these things would be
an effort to inaugurate what he calls
social justice something that might
lead Far, and in many directions.
Would four years be enough time for
the carrying out Of such program?
Not as Mr. Roosevelt would interpret
and condnct it. He would approach
the end of his term with the feeling
with which Mr.. Wilson is approaching
the end Of his-a deep longing for re-
newal of commission So that the cry
of 1912 would be raised again in 1920.
-Four years more of Theodore would
be demanded by all the Rooseveltians,
in office and out. and Mr.. Roosevelt
himself, from his place in the White
House, would swell the volume of
sound
II the third term tradition is sent to
the scrap heap great deal more will
go with itvery much more than the
country could afford to dispense with.

THE Field OF BUSINESS

Sioux City Journal: With the gath
ering OF the clans for two of the nation
al conventions the presidential cam
paign may now be considered in full

ty is that the 1916 campaign will cause

country in meteing sudden changes in
world conditions after the close of the

encourage party contention along con
ventonaI lines of tariff division. The
probability is that business will proceed
during the summer much as il no polti-
litical upheaval were in prospect.
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
on the eve of the national conventions
business circles are more interested in
the crops than in the nominations.
Owing to weather conditions the crops
have not made the best possible start.
Both winter and spring wheat are pret-
ty sure to score loss as compared with
last years bumper yields. Corn has
been late in getting INTO the ground
and there are reports of necessity for
replanting in some localities. The crop
outlook as a whole, however, is
far from poor, ard even a shortage
would not be an unmixed evil as to
commodities in which surplus is being

A HUNDRED DAYS AT vERDUN

After one hundred days of furious
battling the fight at Verdun is continu-
ing with apparently undiminished
furry. First one side gains snd then
the other RECEIVERS lost ground. Late
ly the Germans have forced their lines
little closer to the goal, but the latest
report indicates that the French have
held their ground at the vital points.
AT Dead Man hill, west of the Meuse,
where thousands have been sacrificed
IN the effort to gain or to hold the emf
ncnce from which commanding artil-
lery sweep is possible, the fight RACES
with especial violence, and without
definite result
Row much longer this can continue
no man is able to foretell, There is
evidence that the Germans have been
bringing up heavy reinforcements, con-
sisting, it ls believed, of fresh troops,
some from the far Russian front, where
they have been enjoying comparative
respite from active duty for some
months 1t is also reported that Aus
trian forces are reaching Verdun or
have already arrived. Evidently the
German general staff il bent upon
piercing the French line at ali costs.
The reason for this persistence,
which has cost the German armies, it
is estimated, more than 800, 900 casu-
altes-one French computation lately
made it 100000 is plain. Germany
has reached a stage in the war at
which some sort of conquest is neces-
sary. A victory at Verdun, of how
ever small military value in itself,
would undoubtedly fire the hearts of
the German people and would more
over give Berlin an advantage in any
peace negotiations that might soon be
begun.

ROOSEVELT AS A
STREET ATTRACTION

These were the parting words Of
George W. Perkins, upon leaving
home for Chicago
II am going to do ali can for the
eoIonei and expect hlm to be nomiu-
ated and elected president. The
demonstrations for the colonel at
Kansas City, ST. Louis aud every
where else he has been must prove
that the American people want him. +"
The demonstration mt Kansas City
and ST. Louis prove nothing except
that Roosevelt as a street attraction
is a bowling success. But there is
nothing new in that 1t was already
known. 1t has been shown repeated,
iy in the past sixteen years. He can
raise and ride street excitement to
beat the band His equal in that
matter does not live in this country
Bryan possesses such power bur noJ
in rs great degree. 1T takes Roose
velt, riding through human lane of
men, women aud children, to give the
supreme touch to hullabaloo He
can make them all, for the moment,
want Teddy
But such demonstrations, such ex.
press!ons, are no tit guide for the
nomination of a candidate for presi-
dent, Elections are not carried by

dent is under examination by the

nominee viii be under the strongest
glass for four months odd. Mere
shouting and tumuIt cannot be made
to cover such g period. Reelection
comes; and a candidacy which cannot
stand the acid test, of course, fails.
How would the republicans explain
Roosevelt as their leader? BY his
own confession, repeatedly made, he
is not one OF them. He has denoune-
ed and tried to destroy the party.
That the party survives and is in
its present militant form no thanks
are due to him. Rather is the fact
the shaTpest possible rebuke to him.
How would he explain his clear and
positive promise not to seek another
term. s. president? He encountered
that four years ago, ano found it more
than annoying. He would encounter
it again this year, and find it more
than then He would
like to forget it, but he cannot make
the people forget it.
AS the candidate of big business
the steel trust heading the procession
with Perkins chief marshal, what
appeal would Roosevelt make to the
rank and file? What explanation
would be offered of the change of at
tltude on the part of big business2
1t was once his bitterest foe. 1t is
now his most vigorous sponsor
What has brought about such radi-
cal shift of position? What is the
understanding?
Preparedness is a great issue, and
Roosevelt is on the right side Of it.
But it is not the only issue, and it
would not hide other issues on which
he is not on the right side, as the re-
publicans would fnd out under his
