Amendment to Limit
Presidents Term Urged.

To the Editor Of The Star
Many thousand words are being ad.
dressed to the desirability of putting
away partisanship for the purpose Of
achieving national unity. With lmita-
tions this advice is good.
Those who through logical mental
processes, believe some of the New Deal
policies are inimical to our welfare,
cannot be expected to abandon their
opinions because of the election. Nor
should they embrace error to achieve
national unity any more than they would
embrace vice or sin because they were
popular.
Since the New Deal party carried its
point and captured power for another
term, and since Mr.. Roosevelt has stated
he would not expect a fourth term, a
long step toward national unity could
be achieved If both parties would join
in q movement for an amendment to
the Constitution designed to prevent too
long continuance in Office by any Pres
ident. There are many valid reasons
for limiting the term a President may
serve. shall mention only one. In
the early part of his tenure, Mr.. Roose-
welt rejected what he called the trickle
method whereby through increased busi-
ness those at the lower end of the
economic scale are benefited by more
jobs and more wages. Thereafter he
has followed the policy of creating
an ever-increasing number Of persons
receiving money directly from the
Government Treasury. AS these vast
disbursements are not financed from

Kyrie Eleison!

I'm haunted by a pictured face.
Grim, turned to stone
A woman on London street
Standing alone;
The bursting shells, the sirens wall,
She does not hear:
Even the wreckage of her home
Causes no tear:
From her eyes, leaden, passionless,
All hope has fled 80.
Upon her arm her baby lies
Bomb-struck and dead.

Wants p. w. A. Workers
Nearer Homes.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The STAR
In most casual manner 1t has been
brought to my attention that some of
the men who work on P. w. A. projects
are placed on jobs which are or 10
miles distant from their homes.
I believe that this state of affairs
could be changed. There are many
projects being carried out in various
parts of the District. feel sure that
men employed on these projects could
be given jobs located nearer their dwell
Ing places. II so placed, they would
not need to spend an hour or an hour
and half in going to and from work.
If their jobs were nearer to their homes
It would be . great blessing to them.

Reply of Demetrius Quoted

current revenue, the time must arrive
when one or more of several disruptive
situations will occur.
Although time and precedent have
demonstrated that direct disbursements
from borrowed money is sure way
to keep a President in power, the
Nation cannot afford the luxury of
another President pursuing the same
policy to prolong his grasp of power.
However, precedent having been set
the temptation to use it is too great for
any President to reject it.
Therefore, the only way to end it
before we experience internal weakness
is to provide by the Constitution for
only one term of not to exceed six years
Ratification of such an amendment
bringing within sight an END of spend
ing more than our income would be a
real tonic to all concerned.

Deplores Mental Attitude
OF Democrats of Southern States.


To the Editor OF The Star:
Time marches on" and conditions
change in politics, as in everything else,
except in our Southland which, true to
tradition, delivered its entire electoral
vote to a so-called Democratic candidate,
Notwithstanding that he deliberately
abolished custom which had been
cherished for a century and half.
AS the son of a Confederate officer,
am Of the opinion that we should forget
reconstruction wounds, inflicted so long
ago.
No matter what Democrat is nomi-
mated, the Southern States rigidly and
stubbornly support him, although he
may meet with their most hearty dis
APPROVAL This policy is detrimental
to democracy and conducive to mental
stagnation. incidentally, it creates a
fixed and formidable obstacle to any
and all opposition :. hardly a healthy
state. If the North had adopted a
similar course, it is safe to say that
White House doors never would have
been opened again to Democrats.
AS matter of record Jeffersonian
democracy has expired, as the election
clearly demonstrated. Let us trust that
new progressive party will be developed
unpolluted and unhampered by political
chicanery, trtckery and treachery.

WHAT NEXT?

Under the stress of war conditions,
dermany is going in for extensive
production of synthetic bristles.
Bristles developed for brushes are said
to be at least as good as natural ones.
The bristles are of two kinds per-
luran and P. C. U. The former will
be used in the manufacture of all
kinds of brushes for domestic pur-
poses, such as tooth and nail brushes.
They are said to maintain their stiff
ness in temperatures up to the boiling
point The latter, to be applied par
ticularly in the chemical industry, can
stand temperatures Of 140 degrees and
are said to be resistant to more heavy
chemicals than natural bristles

ciples of our proposal embodied for
two years in the NRA codes, through

DEPRESSION DISASTER
MITIGATED

Part played by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in mitigating unem-
ployment and other consequences of
the depression has not been fully
realized by the public or even by or
ganized labor itself. The record shows
that the federation's emphasis on re-
duction of work hours resulted in
marked progress in this direction,
helping TO re-employ the idle and in
crease national purchasing power.
William Green pointed out these
facts in his recent statement on LA
Dor and Technology" before the Tenn
porary National Economic Commit
tee. His summary of labor's part in
lessening the depression disaster has
not been given the attention it de-
serves. Here it is:
when labor raised its voice for the
shorter work week seven years ago,
it spoke for the employed and the un-
employed workers alike insisting that
sound recovery must be accompanied

MILLIKIN ON
RELIEF LEVY

Hamilton, o., May 6, 1910.
To The Editor:
If the people of Hamilton don't vote
for the three-fourths mill levy against
their real estate property to defray
the cost of relief, they may look for
bad times The city will need about
100000 to carry on the relief pro-
gram. We of Hamilton cannot get
this sum except by taxing ourselves.
1t will cost me about S1066. 1t will
cost the person owning property say,
worth $4,000, only $500 as tax.
About $48,oOO may be raised with
this levy. Then the state viii match
dollars, so that we shall be able to
obtain about $4,000 in ALL
| know it is customary to vote no
on tax measures. The people think
that as we always have gotten by we
can do so again. But in this case we
are at the end of our financial string.
Now imagine in our peaceful city
such things as bread riots, the smash
ing Of windows, parades, men turned
wolfish because of their own and their
families hunger.
Yes, you can defeat school levies.
You can vote against building new
courthouse or jail. The legal and
educational machinery will run any
way. But nobody is going to go hun
CRY very long. They are apt to
break the fast with violence; and
violence breeds violence. Better tax
yourselves rs cents on each 81 900 of
property.

VOTE ON BILL WANTED

Labor is on record as favoring fed
eral anti-lynching legislation and will
have no sympathy with attempts to
prevent passage of the Gavagan anti
lynching bill in the Senate by fill
clustering. Labor believes in full and
free debate of controversial questions
but it does not approve filibustering
or mere time-killing tactics. Such
tactics are reported to be under con-
sideration by enemies of the anti
lynching measure, who undoubtedly
viii resort to filibustering if they
think it necessary to defeat the
measure.
The Gavagan bill was passed in the
House in January of this year. Under
the name of the Wagner -Capper- Van
Nuys bill it is now on the Senate cal
endar. The House has three times
passed an anti-lynching bin only to
have it flibustered to death in the
Senate. There seems no reason why
anti-lynching legislation should not
be voted on by the Senate now and
labor has shown unmistakably that it
favors vote without unnecessary
delay.

Lyons is that you can't pull the wool
