BOSTON. Aug. 14-Perhaps, it
might be too hippant to mention the
ride of Paul Revere in the same
breath with the sky ride to triumph
Of Mr.. Rex Cecil, big blond 27-year-
old Red Sox rookie pitcher from the
San Diego Padres of the Pacific
Coast League.
But the color-splash rookie prob
ably made transportation and sports
history of some sort during the week
end when he came down from the
skies to beat the league-leading St.
Louis Browns the first time he ever
stepped into a major league ball
park.
Acquired by the Red Sox as an
replacement for Tex
Hughson-18-game winner who has
left to join the Navy-Cecil hurried
to the airport Friday afternoon at
San Diego and started for Boston.
Several hours later the pitcher was
tossed of the plane in Tucson, Ariz.,
because of a military priority on
space.
He trudged the streets Of Tucson
for several hours searching for lodg-
ing while, in Boston, Red Sox and
airline officials pulled strings to start
him on his way once more.
Makes sleepless Trip.
Finally, Cecil left Tucson late
Saturday afternoon on another
plane and arrived in Boston on Sum
day afternoon. Not once on the trip
from the Pacific Coast to Boston had
Cecil enjoyed sleeping plane accom-
modations. Instead he sat straight
up and dozed in head-nodding
snatches.
In Boston on Sunday afternoon he
leaped of the plane, actually kissed
the aircraft a fond farewell and was
hustled into a taxicab by Miss Bar.

Was The President Honest?

Was the President honest with the people
when, at the Democratic victory dinner on
March 4, 1897, he declared:
"My great ambition on Jan. %, 1911. IL

with the assurance that am at the same time

Was he honest with the people when in his
final campaign speech at Cleveland O., on
Nov. 2 1910 he declared:
when that term is over, there will be
another president, and many more presidents
in the years to come, and think that in those
years to come that word president will be
word to cheer the hearts of common men and
women everywhere"
The truth of the matter is that the Presi-

Sixteen years as Chief Executive of the

Throughout her long history beginning

But here is more pertinent comparison.
If Franklin Roosevelt were elected for

Integrity Must Be Restored

But let me press the question further Was
the President honest in 1914 when he said that
the delegates to the Democratic national con-
venton would have to decide?
Was not his private train on the sdetracks
IN Chicago? Did he not dictate to the dele
gates through flanagan and Kelly and Hague
and Sidney Hillman?
say to you that the time has come when
the American people once again must restore
integrity in the White House That means the
end of indefinite presidential tenure.
The political power of the presidency ha,
become SO great that constitutional provision
limiting the term of the president is necessary
to develop the leadership essential in
republic.
Long tenure imposes narrow partisan gov.
eminent on the people and destroys new
leadership which is the handspring of progress.
