at the head of the table, they look

the crew 1 sensed that he was
the man I'could trust least.
I couldn't tell just how big he
was, because he sat hunched over
his plate of beans with scarcely
room to operate the knife be-

a hot bowl toward me across the

the little cook and learned that the

tradition" applied to other Presidents has been analysed by Herman Lmburg, New York lawyer, in a recent book Third Term Tradition-An Ameri- can Fantasy
 There have been 31 Presidents of the United States. Of these Is had only term, less, and so can scarcely be considered in relation to third term tradition. Of the others, the only three who can be said to have upheld tradition against a third term were Jefferson Madison and Monroe. Jefferson was, in fact, opposed in principle to a second term although he served twice himself Madi- and Monroe Jeffersons devoted followers.
 That leaves 10 Presidents Lincoln and Mo Kiney were aSsassinated in office before the third term cry could be raised against them. It is inter esting to note that in 1864 Lincoln had to contend with second term tradition" His opponents called him dictator because President between Jackson and Lincoln had served two terms. At the end of his second term Andrew Jackson was too broken in health to think of running again. Grant not only believed in a third term but sought one and probably would have been nominated by his party but for the opposition of James G. Blaine at the Republican convention. Grover Cleveland ended his second term with his political strength definitely waning The third term tradition had nothing to do with his failure to run again. Theo- dore Roosevelt sought third term (though not third elective term) in vain. Woodrow Wilson was broken in health at the end of his second term, although there is good reason to believe he wanted to run again. Calvin Coolidge did not choose to run" although some who are now appalled, at the third for Roosevelt idea tried to draft" him.
 That leaves two-George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt Washington declined to run for personal reasons while opposing any limitation on the number of terms President should serve. Roosevelt hasn't yet said whether he would run.
 So the third term tradition" really boils down to Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, all three of
 o11+I aF whom had second terms.

DemOcracy's Mistakes
(New York Times)

(New York Tmes)
 Correspondents in Finland assert that the Fin nish High Command is inclined to be arbitary in it's dealings with the press To the Russians, who are so arbitrary that they do not permit newspaper to visit their side of the lines at all this att- tude may seem to prove something. What it does prove is that even for freedom not fought by the ineffably wise If the trenches are to be held if the farms and villages not to be burned, if the cities are not to be sacked the defenders must mobilize all their man power, including men who make mistakes.
 What is true of Finland is true of France and Great Britain. Wars not fought or directed wholly by saints Jeaousies creep in old issues rise to plague governments, and in the heat of bat tie those who fight for democracy do not always agree upon what it is The Nazi and Communist propagandists find plenty of flaws in the public life of France or Great Britain. They can find defects in our public life Congressional Investigating committee can always fish up some thing The reason is that countries in which de- mocracy rules are not able to hide, shoot or bury their bunders. All phases of human nature reveal themselves There periods of progress and periods of reaction
 If British censor makes silly blunder, II a Cabinet member delivers foolish speech, if French armament manufacturer turns in a handsome profit, is still true that Great Britain and France are resisting in invasion from the Dark Ages Nowhere is democracy perfect. It is rather, system under which inevitable imperfectons openly faced and dealt with And this precisely what was taking place in Finland, France and Great Britain until the cavemen got the upper hand in Germany and ftusSias armies marched.

THE THIRD TERM TRADITION"

We have heard much in recent months and doubtless will hear more about the third term tra- dition. Most of those who it an argument against a third term for President Roosevelt do on the assumption that the tradition began with George Washingtons unalterabe opposition to a third term in principle and that such stand on Washington's part has been repeated by President after President
 The facts tell totally different story:
 Washington was not opposed to third term for anybody but Washington He did not want to run for a first term and almost refused flatly to run for a second At the end of his second term he definitely decided that he would retire to Mt Vernon. The point to remember is that Washingtons decision was made for personal reasons, not for reasons of State The young nation was safely started Adams scheduled to succeed him, and Washington felt he had earned a rest
 Far from opposing third term in principle, Washington of the majority who fought against such limitation in the Constitution
 He wrote to Lafayette on April 28, 1788:
 Guarded effectually the proposed Consti- tuition is in respect to the prevention of bribery and undue influence in the choice of President con- fess I differ widely myself from MT Jefferson and you to the necessity or expediency of rotation that appointment
 "The matter was fairly discussed in the conven- tion, to my full convictions; though I cannot have time or room to up the arguments in this letter.
 There cannot, in my judgment, be the least dan ger that the President will by any practicable n- trigue ever be able to continue himself moment in office much less perpetuate himself in it-but in the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity; and then there is much danger that any other species of domination would prevail
 Though when a people shall have become in- capable of governing themselves and fit for ter, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes
 Under extended view of this part of the subject, I can no pyopriety in precuding selves from the services of any man, who on some great emergency, shall be deemed universally, most capable of serving the public"

To PLAY BOWLING
GREEN THIS WEEK

From here on Coach Elton j.
Rynearson expects hts htcHtgan
Normal 10 win football games.
Rynearson was willing TO keep
the Hurons on the defensive
against University OF Detroit be-
cause he felt that without Capt.
Walt sierra. who stayed on the
sidelines except for the final 10
seconds with a knee Injury, Nor
nal could present very little in
the way of offense.
This week it's different. Sierra
is almost completely recovered
and will probably play most OF the
game against Bowling Green Uni
versity. With Sierra in the lineup,
the Hurons will very likely throw
two or three times the number Of
passes they used against Detroit.
That a passing combination with
Sierra doing the hurting is a dan
gerous offensive proposition was
demonstrated in the fray with the
Titans. On the very last play OF
the game Sierra threw a 30-yard
forward to Lowell Beach. who ran
10 the Detroit 10. the closest Nor
NAL came 10 L. OF D.'s goal line all

As to the Huron defense. Ry-
nearson is satisfied with its per-
Torrance in the Detroit contest.

against the powerful Titans," he
