never changes his mind may be consistent
but he has stopped growing.
Grover Cleveland announced that he would
not be a candidate to succeed himself IN tne
Presidency and argued in favor OF Single
term with jneligibillty for reelection. But
Cleveland was nominated to succeed himself
and when defeated the second time consented
to run third time and was elected his
sense of duty overcame his theoretical ooJec-
tions to the century-old practice OF permit
ting a man to run for the Presidency as many
times as his party called him.
Jefferson the First Anti-Third-termer
The single term advocates In the early
days of the country changed their minds
when they saw how we'll the constitutional
provisions were working But they con-
cluded that two terms were enough. wash
ington established the precedent, not be-
cause he was opposed to three terms, but
because he thought he had served the coun-
try long enough He accepted the second
term with reluctance It was Jefferson who
stated explicitly the antl-thlrd term doc
trine He was originally single term advo-
cate, and thought that the President should
serve seven years and then retire. He later
concluded that eight years was better, pro-
vided the people had an opportunity at the
end of four years to decide whether the
President had made good and should be
trusted with power for another term. He
was confident that the Constitution would
be amended to make the President Ineligible
for a third term.
President Jackson was the first President
to recommend amendment to the Const-
tuition limiting the President to a single term.
He advocated it in each of his eight annual
messages He believed in the theory of 1t,
but failed miserably when called upon to
put his theories into practice. He not only
succeeded himself but at the expiration of
his second term named his successor thereby
exercising his influence in a way which he
had said was likely to imperil the liberties
of the people. The country survived what
power.
The Fight Over Grant
The third-term issue became acute when
the attempt to nominate Grant to succeed
Hayes was made In the seventies a number
Of resolutions were introduced in Congress
to amend the Constitution so to make it
impossible for Grant to be a candidate, but
they never commanded enough support TO
secure their passage. 1t Is useless to specu-
late about what might have happened II

of the Constitution will be of no avail to pre-.
vent 1t. Talk as you will about the degen.
eracy of the ancient nations under TYRANNY.
you cannot escape the fact that the peopls
degenerated in advance of the government.
The comparatively slight interest which tha
people as a mass take in the second-term and
third-term discussions indicates that they
still believe themselves able to take care Of
their own affairs. They know that the power
rests in their own hands and that they can
set up whom they will and abase whoever
betrays them. They are likely to settle the
second-term issue at the present time with.
out the intervention of any constitutional
amendment and settle 1t to the satisfaction Of
so airy theorist as ever Mr.. Bryan.

THE MAYOR is NOT PLEDGED

TINE emphatic denial by Mayor Smith Of
i his reported Endorsement OF the eompre-
hensive Taylor transit plan as whole is
no surprise A close study OF the text of
the Mayors statement on Monday indicated
that he was intent the two projects under
way and on no others
The Mayors position up to this time has
been perfectly plain, and there Is no reason
why it should be misunderstood. During the
campaign he specifically refused 10 come
out definitely for the Taylor plan He con-
tented himself with a general declaration
in favor OF better transit facilities. At no
time since has ne been more specific. II is
clear. indeed that Mr. Smith has only begun
to study the transit situation since his cleo
tion. He Is In process Of studying 1t now,
and II Is not to be anticipated that he win
cast the die before his mind is made up.
The retention in office OF Quimby ana
Atkinson indicates that. so far as engineering
problems are concerned IL is the purpose OF
the Administration 10 permit no impairment
of the efficiency OF the Department Of City

tials are: First, that the construction plan

made effective On these two things the

II is pointed out that Mayor Smith had
been assured that he would not be called on
10 speak at the recent meeting OF the United
Business Mems Association held to urge on
Councils the abolition OF exchange tickets;
wherefore 1t is suggested II was unfair OF the
EVENING LEDGER to use his remarks on that
occasion as the basis for an editorial dis
eussion OF the Mayors views. The EVENING
LEDGER does not feel that any injustice
was done Mayor Smith or that he was mis-
represented; but II assents to the PROPOSE
tion that remarks hurriedly made by a
public officer who had reason to believe he
would not be called on to speak are generally
privileged and should not form the basis
for criticism. The EVENING LEDGER's views
were the result OF a general analysis OF
the situation and did not depend primarily
on the remarks made by the Mayor on the
occasion In question.

Whatever the political intentions or conse-
duences OF the shift ordered yesterday by
the Director of Public Safety. there is certain
to be some virtue in the result. All police cap
tains have had their districts changed, and
since the shift is universal. no criticism of
individuals can be implied. The advantages
OF fluid and changing police body are obvI-
Gus In a community where neither the
guardians nor the benehciaries are more
than human. 1t is so easy TO be friendly,
TO be indulgent, to wink and let things pass.
The misfortune is that every enforcement
OF the letter OF the law appears as a piece
of persecution when the least favor has been
shown in another case. With the prospect
OF shift there is little incentive to the
cultivation OF mercenary friendships on the
part Of the police. There is even less incen-
tive for Offering benefits on the part of
citizens.

LIMITS OF POETIC LICENSE

Alfred Austin's ignorance of the fact that the
