place a two-term limit on future American Presidents.
Well, that is O.K. by us, if there is nothing in the

Blaine, was President one term, then was defeated by
Harrison. Four years later, however, he came bacK

IN OTHER WORDS, if after a President serves two
terms, then yields to someone else for four years,
tho nnhliV rlpmnnrl for him should Dersist- there should
be nothing to prevent his having two more terms if the

This is not likely to happen, mit it migni.

there should be such a popular demand for the return

Silly Business
Congressman Rankin of
secretary of War Robert Patterson to resign because
he refuses to kick all Communists and ex-Commun-ists
holding commissions out of the U. S. army.
In the undersecretary's opinion no army officers
should be discharged for political views, nor for their
past party affiliations, they should be judged
solely on their present records and their demonstrated
reputations for devotion to
country.
, Secretary Patterson is right.
a a
N officer's character and fitness for his job should
Lbe the test, not his political affiliations or ideas,
past or future.
Spprptnrv Patterson maintains a irreat deal of this
noise and fury regarding Communists in the army pro
ceeds from the fact that some present American oi
ficers fought in the Abraham Lincoln brigade which
opposed the Franco forces in the Spanish civil war.
That is probably true.
Aa we rpp it. the Rame
hold in army as in civil life the innocence of the in
dividual should be assumed, unless the contrary is
proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
If a veteran officer, whether he tougnt wun me

the field he should remain

union leaders pay no heed whatever, unless they feel
like it
IN modern society, and particularly during a war,
there should be no inalienable right to strike- unless
all peaceful methods to settle a dispute have failed.
ihen the right to strike would be equivalent to the
right of revolution. This general procedure has been
followed in railroad circles why can't it be followed

pondent, asks: Could this lead to
Insanity?
The answer is no. Acne
blackheads and pimples has no
moral significance one way or
the other.
The correspondent rounds out
his morbid exploration wltn an
other question: If a girl is ille
gitimate will it have any effect
on her life whatsoever, or be
come hereditary?
The answer to that is no. A
girl or a boy cannot be Illegi
timate, but may have illegiti
mate parents
If the child upon whom an ille
gitimate parent and we instinc

place the stigma of bastardy had
a fair break from the so-called

of any one else, and his or her
