The ago old question of whether president of the United Spates should have a single term is up again. Just eight ' years ago it was raised in congress - when Woodrow' ."Wilson -was presl- dent-elect and he wrote a letter to ' A. Mitchell Palmer. , then chairman of the Democratic caucus in the house of representatives, saying four ' years was often too short a time to complete an administration program, and that often it was too long a period to keep an incompetent ex ecutive and that the people them , selves were the , best Judges. t Now, however, the Question has arisen ; in connection with the selection of a cab inet by President-elect Harding. There ' seems to be two definite lines of thought, . one that Mr. Harding: 'ought to select . men who will be of benefit to him in - case he has made a record entitling him to a second term, and the other is that he ought to select no men for his cab inet whose own ambitions would give . birth to political intrigue or-an inordi nate desire for the limelight on the part of the. would-be candidates for the 1924 nomination. J0H5S0IC AKD PRIMARIES Senator Hiram Johnson may raise the r nuestlon when he revives the whole sub ject of. choosing presidents by preference ' primaries. He is determined to get legls . lation that will put an end to the meth , ods by which the political -conventions . of both parties operated la 1920, Incidentally Governor Lowden of Il linois pledged himself to be a single-term x president in the event that he were nom inated at Chicago, and the Idea gained considerable support because of his ad , vocacy of Jt Also It can now be told that Governor Cox was in complete sym- - pathy with the proposal, and was ready . to put it in his, speech of acceptance, but was dissuaded at the last moment -by t Democratic leaders, who urged that such . a declaration should not.be personal, but should be embodied in a constitutional . amendment and would come with better i - grace after election than before. This . proposal by which Governor Cox planned " to limit himself to a single term in the I event of election constituted the mysteri ous insert which was to have been tele J graphed to newspapers throughout the t. country as an addition to the copies of the speech of acceptance which air lady J had been printed and mailed. IS ABANDONED In support of the proposal, there were y others in the Democratic fold who be lieved an announcement of a single term ! pledge would bring enthusiastic coopers tlon from Democrats who were thein v selves potential candidates for the presl- , , dency. The theory was that the Would ', be candidate had nothing to galfi from Cox' victory, because he would natur f. ally be the nominee for a second term, f where, in the event of a Harding victory, j.there would be an open contest for the ; Democratic nomination in 1924. Never theless, the plan1 was abandoned and was never referred to again during the cam paign. - f .As for Senator Harding, the question of. a second term enters into many a discussion of the policies of the next 'administration.- Nobody is attributing ; to the president-elect a desire for a second form, fot anybody who knows Warren Harding well would never char , -acterlse htm as an ambitious man. He is much concerned with making gttod i In the term for which he has been elect ' ed and letting the future take care of . ; itself. : - - ' '. ; POLITICIANS BUST ALREADY . Nevertheless the polltlcans. who think . they a're going to have a good deal to say about the next administration are already laying lines for the retention fOf control after the first term shall have been ended. One man who is close , to Senator Harding said he felt sure there would be a Harding organization J and, that it would be folly to ignore po litical tradition or opportunity by tak ' ing any other course after the Reoub- , lican party had been cooling Its heels outside the White house for eight long ; , years. , Delegates to national conventions as J a rule are either federal officeholders ' or former officeholders. The homlna- tlon of William Howard Taft In 190J . was accomplished because the federal . officeholders under President Roosevelt ' were advised to choose Taft. The re- nomination of Mr. Taft in 1912 was pos sible because the federal officeholders , and the existent .Republican organlz ' tions were dominant in the regular con . Jventlon. President Wilson had no dif ficulty gettinr a renomination in 19H and If he had said the word he could t have selected the Democratic nominee 'this year. ; The McAdoo and Palmer ' forces constituting two thirds of the s Democratic delegates were largely fed' . eral officeholders or their friends. . BE50MIKATIOIT LOOKS IAST Warren Harding can easily get a re , nomination In 1924 If he make even a ' fair record . in the presidency, - as the officeholdlng machinery Is all powerful at a national convention. Senator Hiram . Johnson Intends to put a stop to .this influence In national politics. But it would not be surprising to find Senator - Harding himself eliminating the personal . Issue from consideration by making a : single term pledge similar to that which Governor Lowden of Illinois gave to Re- - publican leaders at Chicago, There areS those who think Senator Harding would jret along much better with Hiram Johnson and have much less trouble if the question of a single term for the presidency were disposed of, so that the California senator would feel that he had an equal opportunity to win th9 nomination in 1924. This Is one phase Time to For year 1 cat that self-sweetened, readjr-to-eat food Every bit ratable "There's a Reason of cabinet making and original plan ning which Mr. Harding: will find it necessary to settle when he gets back to Marlon. 18 ONBOARD DRIFTING BOAT MAY BE LOST (Coo tinned From Pe On) Telegraph and telephone communication with the rest of the state was cut eft when the wires were blown down early Friday morning. The wind was the most severe of the season. An inch of rain fell In 24 hours.

DELICATE QUESTIONS OF WAR DODGED BY ASSEMBLY By A. . Johnson United News Staff Correspondent Geneva, Nov. 27. While leaders have every confidence of ultimate success In that a better healing of war wounds will permit the League of Nations to function with greater assurance, two weeks' work by the league in its pres ent session .makes it apparent that the world is not yet ready to attempt to solve its most serious problems. ' Expressing the belief that the war was too recent a thing to permit cool, calm consideration of many problems, the framers of the peace treaty passed these questions on to the League .of Nations for solution. red problem: evaded The present assembly Is now passing them on to some future assembly, with the result that two years after the sign ing of the armistice, situations which statesmen regard as holding the most serious potentialities in Europe are still being dodged. The Russian situation was recognized as one of the most menacing on the continent throughout the peace confer ence. It is still admitted that without peace in Russia, a stabilized Europe is Impossible. The peace conference, how ever, successfully evaded the Russian problem and the present league assembly will not even permit discussion of Rus sia.. DISARMAMENT UJCCEETAIW Disarmament was discussed in the peace conference, but left for action by the league, and the league is now pass ing it for future consideration. Armenia, the Polish boundary problem, the question of admitting Germany to the league and other subjects now upper most were live questions of debate in the peace conference and have again come 'to the front in the league. They were left to the league, but the league Is not yet ready to tackle them. KILLINGS CONTINUE Although the' old leaders are absent Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau the league session In many respects re sembles nothing more than merely a resumption of the peace conference. The same problems are up for discussion, the same objections are voiced JLo this or that settlement, and nwing ro a desire to prevent any serious friction at this stage of the world's readjustment period the problems are again' passed over. If the United States refuses to act in an attempt to bring peace between the Armenians and the Turkish nation alists, this question will again be passed back to the league, and the good offices of some other nation will be sought. But in the meantime such leaders as Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, point out that the murder of Armenians has continued for more than, a year since the peace conference passed the question along, and will continue until some one inter venes. WILSON CONSIDERING PLEA THAT HE ACT IN ARMENIA (By United New) ITashington, Nov. 27. President Wil son is considering what reply he will make to the request of the council of the League of Nations that the United "ates act aa mediator between the i wfclsh nationalists and the Armenian. Tne cabled message from Geneva was placed before the president Friday, after u naaneen received at the White house. PRECEDENT CITED V The view of the state derailment is that the president can act as mediator without asking consent of' congress. In asmuch as It is specifically stated that no muitary obligations are involved. xne league request refers to the "gov ernment of the United States" rather than to the president personally. Some question arose as to whether or not this might not make consultaion with con gress necessary. However, it is held that the president as the responsible head of the govern ment can answer for It. and that ample precedent exists for the president to act as mediator himself or to arrange for mediation. Belief was expressed that should the" president seek to bring peace to Armenia, congress would make ho effort. to block him.,. . .;' 7 OBJECTIONS ARE SEEK How the president will view the .re quest is uncertain and no indication as to his probable course could be obtained from the White house. .The particular interest or mis country in Armenia, the president's interest in establishing peace I and the fact that he Is already engaged m delimiting the boundaries of Armenia, DSAftMAMEN were cited as reasons indicating a prob able favorable reception -for the request. 'It was believed,, however, that the matter might link up with the whole mandate question, now in dispute with Great Britain and to a lesser extent with France. Another factor Is the refusal of the senate to permit this country to accept a mandate over Armenia, or to partici pate in league affairs in any way. . This, it was thought, might deter the presi dent. . ; 1 , MIDDIES WIN OVER CADETS; SCORE 7-0 (Continued From Page One) the middiea In the i third quarter, how ever, the- weight of .

Pittqck to sell to him shares of the Crown-Willamette Pulp & Paper company valued at approx imately $756,000, was completed Fri day afternopn before Circuit Judge Tucker, and argument was, begun for the plaintiff. Leadbetter contends that he is en titled to purchase the stock because of a verbal agreement between Pittock and himself, made April 1, 1910, wherein Pittock told him he could secure a return of the stock which he had trans ferred to Pittock if he would pay the original purchase price and 6 per cent interest from the time of the transfer. He claims the time for such a repur chase was not limited. A question at Issue is what is a reasonable length of time for the carrying out of such an egreement, It is alleged by the defense that at no time during the past decade Hd Leadbetter ever make a tender of money for the stock which he now de sires to possess. Following the death of Pittock, Lead- better and his attorneys held confer ences with the trustees named In the Pittock will, but he was told that they would waive no rights and that they would resist legal action to compel a transfer of the stock. " At the close of the testimony for the defense Friday, Leadbetter ' reappaared on the witness stand and denied that there were any etralned relations be tween himself and Pittock, his father-in-law, prior to Pittock's death. He said that the first Intimation he had that such was the impression of others had come to him in the courtroom or since his suit had been filed. "It is quite true that Mr. Pittock didn't approve of my method of living,' said Leadbetter, "but we never had anything but friendly differences on the subject." Arguments for . the defense will be presented Monday by D. P. Price and Charles H. Carey. Comes to Get Prisoner Sheriff; Fred C Burks of Drummond.

HILL ROADS FIGHT TO HOLD UNION STATION Tlie Public and Tlik Tel ,In spite of the fact that a great majority of the telephone usirfg public thoroughly understand the " rights, duties and, obligations of public service companies, we find now and then an individual who does not understand the matter. A telephone company, in its broadest sense, is a partnership consisting of the State as an institution, the public as a group of customers, and the company. The State determines the extent to which the company may go and regulates its rates, services and practices.' ,The company furnishes the facilities with which these rights are exercised and the services rendered. Those members of the public whe constitute the customers, furnish the reve nue with which the company is enabled to perform these services. No tele phone company can exist without customers, and these customers must be treated with fairness both by the company and by the State. The State does not permij any undue burden to be placed upon a customer. . A public service corporation, in a broad sense, is merely an organized right to render the public a service, and in the same larger sense the service belongs to the company's customers. It follows that the customers are really the company. What benefits or harms the one has a like effect upon the other. We are anxious that our present customers, applicants for service and. the company shall be treated fairly. Tqontinue to extend our service under our present condition is impossible. We invite our customers, the public of Oregon, to interest themselves in our problem. "i , ; ' ' , The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co.

"Not on account of the economic bur dens, but on account of the Offensive, one-sided statements, which have not been approved In an Impartial forum, are thought unbearable for the German people, and destroy at the outset the spirit and good will without which the league will not thrive," he said. DISTINCTION HELD DIFFICULT , "We do not "deny that, during the progress of the massacre the world has Just passed through, much f right fulness and oppression was practiced on our side. These are the accompani ments of every war.

He held that German hate has been propagandised by a pow erful press. He pointed out he himself was a propagandist and had to give up his work In New York after the sinking of the Lusitanla, "which I could not condemn without disloyalty to my country." . . "We maintain, however, and are will ing, to prove, that the measures and means used by Germany in this war are: neither in proportion nor in kind worse nor more criminal than those used by our. adversaries," he said. NOBXCUSE OFFERED . . "We neither seek excuse nor ask for giveness from others or ourselves." ' Dtrnburg declared if justice is to reign in the league a statement must .be made that all belligerents are sinners, that all were members of the "old ays tem" and that all aspired to the same political Ideals, and hence must bear the same burden.
