The insane persecution of Jews
the world over provides one of
the most sickening spectacles
OF modern times. In countries,
which were at one time civilized
enough to know that tolerance
and sympathy are necessary for
progress, Jews are treated as
the -skum of the earth. No good
reason has ever been found and
never will be found why any race
of people should be prosecuted.
The narrow-minded Nazi's at
tempt to justify their horrible
attacks on the Jews with cries
of, Mon Aryan. The German
stand would be humorous, were
not so much human misery
involved.
For while it seemed that in
Palestine the Jews would have

KELLY MILLER SAYS
Why not a third term for Pres.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt?

Why not a third term for Pres.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt?
Will Franklin D. Roosevelt be
chosen for third term? Read
the answer in the stars, For
martals do not know" No
president knows at the middle
of term whether or not he will
stand for reorganization, or
whether for a second or third
term. His political mind is not
his own but is controlled by
political eventualities With the
political horoscope he must con-
suit the conjunction of the
planet in the political heavens.
Hypothecating good health,
the decision whether to run or
not to run is dictated by the
welfare of his country and the
eXigencies of his party. Presi-
Roosevelt has m d the New
Deal the ideal of American demo
cracy and the objective of the
nations political a II d economic
program. His success in formu-
lating a new political doctrine
and his ability to impress it up
on the nation as a program of
practical action stamps him as
the greatest political genius of
this generation. Having taken
hold of the pillow of this polite
al and economic gospel, he dares
not look backward. He is the
only American with the rugged
individuality, intrepidity and
courage to push this PROPOSE
ton to full Irritation. SO long
as the ultimate success or fail
ure of the New Deal hinges upon
his leadership he is duty bound
to keep the rein in is own hands.
If within the next two years,
prior to the nominating conven-
tons if lieutenant energies on
whose shoulders he can safely
transfer the mantle of leader
ship, he would undoubtedly be
glad to be relieved of this super
human burden. But SO far no
such leader looms above the
horizon with t h e resquisite
grasp, power and personality.

He must wa t a while longer,
bear the cross alone, for in the
popular estimation besides him
there is no other. : e. ~
The American people are ir-
revocably committed to pro-
gram of liberalism. Conserva-
tism and reaction have been
thoroughly discredited as be-
longing to "the horse and buggy
age" President Hoover, the
apothesis of conservatism is
most highly honored and res
pected as an ancient and honor
able statesman of the days gone
by. Franklin ID. Roosevelt is
without doubt the most dynamic
liberal and constructive states
man since Anrew Jackson. This
can be said viii all due respect
to Grover Cleveland, Theodore
Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson
who laid the foundation upon
which Roosevelt erected his
superstructure. DR.. Glenn Frank
Chairman of the National Re-
publican Policy Making Commit
tee, has frankly declared him
self Reluctant Rebel" against
the New Deal. In substance,
both parties effect to endorse IL
beralism of which Franklin d.
Roosevelt is the most conspicu-
Gus exponent. Unless conditions
vitality change within the next 2
years the liberal sentiment of
the nation will demand renomi-
nation and rejection of Franklin
d. Roosevelt regardless of part
san affiiliation. The bugbear of
the third-term traditions has no
terror for the genuine liberal.
The example of George Wash
ington in declining third term
has lost its sacrosanctity. There
was equine Reasons why Gho
Washington should have refused
the profffer Of a third term,
but no such reason exists today.
AT that time there was genuine
danger of a life tenure of the
president, which the sanction of
the august personality of the
father of his country might have
made part of the Constitutions
al procedure more binding than
t 1T Constitution itself. But
after the lapse Of one hundred
and fifty years the American
people feel perfectly free to
elect man best calculated to
promote the national welfare re-
CARELESS Of the third term ira
dition. There was no national
necessity for Washfngton's
election for third term. His
continuance in office would not
have settled the issue between
jefferson and Hamilton which
continues as the divisive polite
al principles down to the present
day.
The third term tradition doubt
less would have been broken had
Abraham Lincoln not fallen
victim to the assassin's bullet
and if the issues. growing out of
the Civil War had remained UNI
settled at the time Of the cleo
ton in 1867.
Theodore Roosevelt would have
been renominated had he not
misplaced confidence in his
lieutenant, William Howard
/ Taft, to carry on and carry out
his progressive policies, But
even his defeat Of 1912 was due
rather to the fact he bolted his
party and did not allow himself
sufficient time to perfect his
new political organization. than
to the hob-gobIin of a third
| term.

one else was allowed to touch them.
Throughout his life, Gen. Ward
was . strong opponent Of what was
known as "profaning the Sabbath. i"
This included any travel on Sun
day except on real and demonstrable
emergencies. And as a man over
90, with such great of1ices behind
MIN as command Of the American
army and service AZ chief justice,
Gen. Ward was to be found stand
ing in the Shrewsbury highway on
Sundays, to halt those endeavoring
to travel over 1t In defiance of the
Sabbath law.
Now he stands in the highway at
Massachusetts and Nebraska ave-
4nues. It is to be hoped that Wash
ington motorists, roaring along that
road on Sunday afternoons, will
slow down when they approach his
bronze figure. Otherwise they may
be sure he will regard them with
disapproval.

and SO trustworthy that his fellow
citizens elected him to one public
Office after another.
Few Letters for Research.
Being a man of action rather
than speech, Gen. Ward left few
letters as a flrst-hand revelation
Of himself. His biography must be
read largely from his activities and
from others comments. An attrac-
tice glimpse of his private life is
recalled by Mrs. Mead. whose grand
mother Gen. Wards granddaugh-
teri used to tell her how he kept
q jar Of sweetmeats on his library
table, which were reserved exclu-
sively for the grandchildren; no

There were many reasons for the
Army's loose discipline, not the least
OF which was the lack of central
authority in the Provincial Con-
gress. But it appears from all the
evidence that Gen. Ward made an
excellent record in adverse circum-
stances, and that his psychological
insight into the character of his
men and his consequent ability to
obtain a species Of obedience from
this army Of individualists was great
er than that Of any other man who
might have been placed at their
head. Hence 1t seems poetic justice
that descendant of Warren should
join in celebrating Gen. Ward.
Reputation Shrouded.
Strange quirks Of fate frequently
operate to obscure a mans reputa-
ton or to emphasize some small
aspect Of 1t out of proportion to
the rest. Longfellow's pleasing verses
about Paul Revere's horseback ride
have held the publc's fancy to the
point where many more important
achievements of Revere are I'M
known or never considered. In SINH
lar fashion, Bancroft's personal in
terpretations of innuendos about
Gen. Ward in letters of Warren,
George Washington and others have
built up a false picture of the real
Ward. A second detrimental acct
dent was the fact that mid nine
