WANTING TO BE PRESIDENT

Aside from all other considera-
tions. and there are plenty of them,
Herbert Hoover, in refusing to elm
mate himself from possibility OF
candidacy for the presidency In
1910, has spoken real and con-
mendable truth in declaring that
'any man who says he doesn't want
to be president is not truthful to
start with"
1t is recalled, in this connection,
that Calvin Coolidge started an ar
gument as to his real intentions
and ambitions when he said that he
did not "choose to rum 1t is quite
generally believed that while he
probably was unwilling to declare
in positive terms that he was cam
didate, he hoped until the last mo-
ment that he would be drafted.
OF course it is true that there are
men who, having, first of all, no idea
that they will be nominated or elect
ed, do not become candidates. There
are, too, such men as Henry Clay,
who said he would rather be right
than president, but who was bitterly
disappointed that he was not chosen
chief executive. Probably he be-
lieved he could be both right and
president.
Similarly, though custom and prec-
edent are against it, undoubtedly
there have been presidents who hal
two terms but who would not have
refused a third one if they had been
able to get it, or had thought they
could override the general sentiment
and custom. Mr.. Roosevelt him.
self has said something about hop
ing to turn over the office to his
successor in 1871, but hardly any
body can deny that if he felt he had
a popular mandate" to serve a
third term he'd take it if he could
get it.
Among the 13O,000,000 of our
population there is but one person,
and that happens only every four
years, who can be elected president.
But nearly all Americans, regardless
of whether or not they have remote
POSSIBILITIES of such an elevation,
nevertheless would rejoice if they
could wake up some morning and
find themselves in the White House.
1t is perfectly laudable ambi-
ton, too In republic such as
ours neither age nor sex, neither
race nor religion, neither poverty
nor riches, bars native-born cit
izen who is 35 years old or older,
from aspiring to the highest office
in the land. 1t would be a queer
sort of American who would not
like to sit in the chair occupied by
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and
others.-O. S. Journal.

poor relief has before it a recon-

establishment of county welfare de-

consolidated all forms of county re-

by David A. Shade, Franklin county

Such a system, it was said, would
not only result in increased service
and efficiency, but would undoubted-
ly result in substantial savings in
administration costs. Correlation
of all poor relief activities under one
centralized welfare department In

Ted gave a sudden lunge and

the animal took the jump as the
only alternative to the death drop
that yawned before him.
The horse barely caught the
other side, miraculously gained
his balance and plunged up the
timbered side, as shots and curses
rang out from across the canyon.
Leaning low over his head, Ted
urged him on, ducking as the ran
dom bullets whistled past, and
praying to the gods of luck, into
whose hands he had so recklessly
played. Behind him resounded
the scream of a horse in terror,
and a dull crash. Then came
blasphemous chorus of shouts, and
the shots ceased.
Ted pushed on with a shudder of
horror. One of the men must have
tried to follow him, and missed by
the narrow margin he had won by.
Realizing that at last he had the
break he had hoped for, Ted
crashed up the slope. He must give
the impression that he was making
for the high timber, where there
were plenty of places to hide.
