Why Not Six Years
and No Second Term?
By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART

NTHY not six years in office for President and
w second term? 1t means an increase of fifty per
cent in the stability of our Government and one hun
dred per cent in its efficiency.
Why not retain ex-Presidents in the service of
the country a nonpartisan advisory committee? We
have paid high for their training in international poll
tics Why should we retire them to private life and
muzzle them by an absurd system of ethics?
Mary Roberts Rnehart has written vigorous
article based on these questions for Sundays Public
Ledger. She also takes occasion to comment on the
strength and astuteness of President Wilson and his
triumphant vindcation by the country Republican and
Democrat alike will read Mrs Rinehart with distinct
pleasure
