Tlie Third Term Spectre.
News and Obsever.
When it was suggested

"""stu mignt he a rand
date for re-election in 1908
the Republican newspupers
'nnignnnlly declared t h a
the suggestion ol Huch
'hingwasa refaction upon
tne character and Iruthfu
Deris of thePiesideut. Arid so
it was.
But, aR the shadow of Bry
an looms large upon the ho
rizon and it is evident tha
he will have the united sup
poit or the Democrats an
ulsn the support of those Re
publicans who are oppose
u 1 rums anu me prescn

Means have reached the con
clusion that theoulv hope o
a Republican victory is in th
candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt
and we hear 1hs and less
the talk that he would b
breaking his word should li
he a candidate in 19 0 8
Whether inspired by thePres
ideut or not, certainly there
is a movement to sound the
public to see if the hostilit
to a third term idea wonlt
make Mr. Roosevelt's candi
dacy impoRsihle. Perhaps his
decision will rest upon the ex
prestdons.
(Jo I. Henry Waterson thinks
Mr. Roosevelt will run ag
ainst Mr. Bryan in 1008. He
thinks he would lose such
staid old slates as Massarhu
setts upon the third terra is
Bue. The N York Herald
does not think the third
term spectre would ularm the
country. To that suggestion
Uol. Wntlerson replied:
4,i see," said Mr. Waterson
"that The Herold doubts
whether the example set by
Washington as to a .third
term would prove as poten
tial in a national campaign
as I think it. The Herald may
be t ight and I ma v be wrong.
It is never safe to foretell
h'orse races and elections
There are plenty who argue
as to the President of the
United States much as they
would argue of the President
of a bank this is, because he
is a good president why not
veep him as long as he is wil
ing to serve? Hut such per
sons wholly forget the dan
gers inevitable to prolonged
tenure either of individuals
or parties. Caesar may have
been the best for Rome, and
we will agree that Diaz has
been best for Mexico, but are
we willing to account our
selves no better than the Ro
mans and the Mexicans? Are
we willing to Caesarize the
White House? to Mexicanize
the Republic?
'In the event that Mr.
Roosevelt is to succeed him
self in 1908 will it not bo
easier for him to carry the
country in 1912. and so on
to the end of his days? That
in the proposition which Mr.
Roosevelt, will have to tackle
if he should present himself
as a candidate for substanti
ally a third term, ua tnat
proposition my confident
hulipfisthnt he would lose
Massachusetts.

If a man brings his market
value, the purchaser gets his
money's worth.
That is to say, the purchas
er's money is the measure of
his valuation of tbe service
of the man.
If you pay a ditcher $ Z 50
a day all the vear round-
$450; and a teacher 1,00 four
monins-$iuu;youevidently
value the ditcher's service a
$350 more than you yalue
the teacher's.
And in turn, you are judgei
t - t
uy your judgement; you are
measured by the rn e a s u r e
that you mete. This is scrip
ture as well as common
sense.
We were thinking about
this as we sat in the teachers
Assembly.
The teachers of North Caro
lina are the must praiser
aud least paid people in the
State-next to them a u r
close to them are the preach
ers.
There is a divine call to
preach; and the preachers
can't help themselves- except
by going elsewhere, There is
no liivrnecall to teach. And
the consequence is that de
spite all our effotts, we are
on thepointof losingground.
You cannot expect to have
good teachers at 100, or
$500 a year. They will marry
first!
But this is not the ital
point. The vital poiut is that
you cannot expect good
teachers on low wages. A
man, or women, will bring
hisor her market value. Srong
men and women will leave
the school. Educatiou is not
a thing of tbe machine, A
school not an automatic af
air which will turn out great
men by merely going through
the routine, Great teachers
make great men. And little
teachers make little men, We
lare not undertake to say
iow many men have made
ine wheat and fine pigs in
North Carolina and sorrow
men! They spent money on
the wheat and the pigs, but
were skimpy when it came to
their children.
We should remember the
saying of Governor Aycock,
bat the child-crop in North
'nrolina is the gr?at crop.
rb child-crop is pretty
good. But the man crop is
t not a time of famine?
Plenty of human beings, but
few great ones, Good people;
hut how much stronger they
might bel The trouble is, we
have not taken pains with
them: we have not provided
them with great teachers,
great books and other things
that make for greatness.
If we paid teachers twiceas
much as we pay them, we
should have twenty times as
many strong citizens as we
have. Biblicial Recorder.
