OTHERS VIEWS
ABOUT THIRD TERMS.

To the Editor:
A great deal of discussion, both pro
and con, is now going on throughout
the nation, over the prospects OF
President Roosevelt seeking third
term in the White House. The Repub-
licans and a number of prominent
Democrats, claim he is ambitious to
become a dictator. This argument is
about the weakest of any that has
been raised against the third term. If
Mr. Roosevelt ever had the remotest
idea of establishing a dictatorship in
the United States, he could have sue
ceeded in doing so the first year of
his. administration. The people. were
then mood to give him anything he
asked for, he. has never had the pow
er. to becometa dictator since his first
year as President.
The American people have a rather
peculiar idea of consistency. It has
always been considered the part of
wisdom and good politics to elect
United States senators ad congress-
men for not only two. terms but in
many cases they have been elected
and reelected for life. The theory
back of this custom has been that a
senator or congressman becomes
more valuable to his constituents the
longer he remains in Washington. He
is supposed to acquire experience with
long esrvice and in their campaigns
for reelection senator's and congress
men invariably use this argument as
their strongest campaign issue.
If senators and congressman. be-
come more useful with long service
why is it the president cannot also
become more competent for as many
terms as he is able to win. Most of
our presidents have been men of the
very highest integrity and honor and
they have served the nation accept
ably. 1T is folly to assume that any
president after ne has, served two
terms I'M office isSlacking ii the neces-
sary mental equipment Tor a third,

The great industrial organizations
of this country keep their chief exc
outives in office as long as they are
physically eble to carry on. IF the
people would fo7low the example of
big business and 'electsthsir presidents
as long as they are physically and
mentally capable of discharging thu
duties of the office in a wise and abb !,

NEARLY 81 MILLION
+ PAID UNEMPLOYED

Raleigh, Sept. 12.-Benefit payments
to unemployed and partially unem-
ployed workers in North Carolina
through last Thursday amounted to
Sc, 708, 300.91, embraced in 898,986
checks, Chairman Charles G.. Powell,
of the State Unemployment Compen
sation Commission, announces. These
benefits have gone to more than 2O0,-
600 individuals.
The numbers and cumulative
amounts of checks continue to run
about half the number and amount
each week that were issued during the
peak periods of payments due in
part to improved employment condi.
tons in the State, and in part to the
fact that many claimants have re-
ceived all that is due them, based on
their earlier earnings.
The State employment trust fund
still has a balance in excess of 5000 :
coo, none, of which can be used for
any purpose other than paying unem-
ployed or partially unemployed work
ers.

He is enthusiastic in praise of the

Neutral observers, if there are such
animals, seem to think the Young
Democrats rather went out of their
way for no particular good reason to
express the anti-Roosevelt sentiments
of many of it's members. Indignation
over the presidential purge seems to
these observers a bit premature and
uncalled for in view of the fact there
is no such purge on in North Carolina.
It fact, it is pointed out, the Presi-

North Carolina's Senate race this
year, though "Our. Bob" Reynolds
tried to make it appear he was anoint-

Incidentally, election of Gordon
Gray to presidency of an organization
