GOVERNOR MOUNT, Maurice Thompson, and Dr. Tuttle—all have died within six months. The Hand has been laid heavily upon Montgomery county.
WITH the examples of Washington and McKinley and the fate of Grant as precedents he will be a bold man in future who will ask a third term as President.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY'S manly note declining under any ['circumstances to be a candidate for a third term silences a lot of the silly and frothy talk concerning empire and emperors. Mr. McKinley has made a magnificent President and he has no further ambition.
LOUISVILLE
Tiines,
(Dem.) "I regret
'that the suggestion of a third term has been made," said President McKinley. "I am not and will not be a candidate for a third term, and would not accept a nomination for it if it were tendered me, My only ambition is to serve through my second term to the acceptance of my countrymen, whose generous confidence I so deeply appreciate, and then with them to do my duty in the ranks of private citizenship." Spoken more like a Democratic patriot than like an "Emperor," and proves the speaker a better if not "a bigger man than old Grant."
STOPPING THE THIRD TERM POLLY.
St. Louis
Glole-Democrat:
The Pres
ident has put an end forever to the third term nonsense. The "half a dozen plain words" by which, as the Olobe-JJeir.ocrat predicted the other day, he would silence Depew, Grosvenor and the rest of the little coterie of sycophants, have been spoken. Mr. McKinley declares that under no possible circumstances would he accept a nomination for a third term. These words are so abeolute and decisive that those who have been saying that the opposition to a third term is only a "superstition," which will be set aside in 1904, will be shamed into subsidence. It is Baie to say that not a hundred persons out of the 76,000,000 people in the United States took the Depew and Grosvenor silliness seriously. The American people are opposed to a third term for any President, and Mr. McKinley stands with the people on this idea as he does on most other questions of national concern. To this issue there is only one side. The great mass of the Republicans Btand with the rest of the people of the United States In opposition to a third term for anybody under any conceivable conditions. In 1875 thejhouse of representatives, at the instance of Springer, of Illinois, passed a resolution that, "in the opinion of thieJhouBe, the precedent established by Washington and other Presidents of the United States in retiring from tbeJPresidential office after their second term, has become, by universal concurrence, a part of our Republican systemlofjgovernment, and that any departure£from this time-honored custom would befunwise, unpatriotic and fraught withlperil to our free institutions." The vote stood 234 for the resolution to *18 against it. The great bulk of the Republicans in that Democratic house voted with the Democrats for the't resolution. The Republican convention in|that robustly Republican state of Pennsylvania, in 1875, passed a resolutionfdeclaring that their party in Pennsylvania was "unalterably opposed to the election to the Presidency of any person for a third term." These resolutions, of course, were incited by the attempt of a few of President Grant's officious friends to get him a third nomination. When the Republican national convention in Chicago in 1880 defeated Grant for the nomination it'killed third-termism as dead as Appomattox killed the doctrine of secession.
For many years to come at least the country will hear no more about a third term for any President. The pretense oflDepew and Grosvenor that the conditions at this time were so abnormal that a departure from the twoterm restriction would be justified is absurd. There is 'nothing abnormal about the present conditions in the United States. By electing a new President in 1904 the country will not be swapping horses in crossing a stream. The stream has been crossed.
The Three-Fourths of One Per Cent. Tax. To the Editor of The Journal. The people of Crawfordsville and the county of Montgomery can have a suburban line to the coal fields of Fountain county if Union township will vote a tax of three-fourths of one per cent, on the taxables of the township. This equals about one-half of the taxes for all levied for all purposes. The taxes for state, county and township purposes amount to about one and one-half of one per cent.
This gift to the railroad would be a tax for only one year, and perhaps this would bo distributed through thi-ee years so that the addition to our annual tax would be about 25 cents on the hundred. It is not the added burden to our taxes that should concern us the most. There are two other questions to be considered. One is: Supposing the money given as a gift to the company would promote the public wellfare, would not the public welfare '»e better promoted by the subscribing the sto^k of the road and paying for it with the money raised by the tax?
If the money raised by the tax should be received in payment of sttfek by the company, some concessions might be made to the private capital invested in the road, such as after the payment of the current expenses of operation, four per cent, should be paid to the private stockholders, after that the taxes on the stock of private holders. After that, out of the surplus on hand pay the franchise tax and the general taxes, and then dividend on the public stock up to four per cent, thus favoring the private stockholder at the expense or to the exclusion of the puplic stockholder.
If we grant a'lfifty year charter we ought to reserve the right to buy the private stock for the county after a limited number of years.
On those terms we might give the public aid to the road. The other question is: Can we lawfully impose a tax on the public and make a gift of the proceeds of the tax to one or more private persons?
We cannot take private property for public use without first paying for it. 11 is not to this clause of the constitution that we would look for the right to levy a tax and make a gift of the proceeds to private individuals.
The proposed road may be a great public benefit, but that fact would not make the tax legal or constitutional. It is to be hoped that private capital will co-operate with the people in building this road, but if it does not, and will persist in pressing this election to a successful issue by buying votes, or otherwise, then it is to be hoped that' the commissioners can be enjoined from levying the tax, or the treasurer enjoined from collecting it.
SAMUEL B. HOEFGEN.
A Farewell Reception.
On last Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lynch again opened the doors of their beautiful home to a score or more of young friends in honor of their eldest son, Wilmer, who left the tenth for Des Moines, Iowa, where a splendid position as stenographer and typographer awaits him. Among those present at the reception were: Misses Florence Young, Laura and Stella Mason, May Foust, Nellie Hiatt and Mima Hartung. Messrs. Guy Robbins, Lelia Hood, Bert Hiatt and Walter Crim, also a crowd of Epworth League people from the First Presbyterian ohurch, and a number of Wabash students. Mr. and Mrs. Lynch were assisted in entertaining by their son and daughter, Dwight and Nellie, and Miss Mount, of Crawfordsville.
A most enjoyable evening was spent in musio and games. During the evening elegant refreshments were Berved. All left at an unusually late hour regretting much to part with their friend. Wilmer is a most estimable young man and deserving of all the good fortune that can befall him. He will be greatly missed by his friends, yet they all wish him God speed in his new undertaking. A GUEST.
For the Bridal Trip,
The Monon road has contributed a round trip pass to Chicago for the bridal trip of the happy couple to be married at the fair grounds on the Fourth of July. If the happy young people are married at high noon on the Fourth they can, if they wish, board the train at a little after one o'clock and arrive in Chicago in time to witness the night celebration there. Several other presents have been added to the list since it was published. Mr. Downs, who is drilling the boy ohorus for the occasion, reports excellent progress and will present the finest choir ever seen in Crawfordsville. It is likely that an effort will be made to retain the choir organization after the Fourth.
Night Work.
During the hot weather the men at the match factory will work at night, commencing at midnight. The whistle will be sounded at this hour. The women will work at the usual hours.
EVERYBODY'S liable to itching piles. Rich and poor, old and young—terrible the torture they suffer. Only one Bure cure Doan's Ointment. Absolutely safe: oan't fail.

The Railroad.
To the Editor of The Journal.
"Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you." This is the age of progress. A time in which large things are done, and why not Montgomery and Fountain counties share in this spirit of progress?
Erery enterprise, every business which adds to the amount of taxable property and employs labor in the advancement of commercial relations, is a thing of beneficial interest to the tax payer.
What difference who may gain a beneficial benefit from such an enterprise, if in doing so the people in general are benefited?
A railroad like the electric interurban railroad proposed to be constructed by the Crawfordsville traction company in Montgomery and Fountain counties, not only furnishes convenient safe, rapid and cheap communication between the people, but it adds directly to the taxable property of the counties, and thereby decreases the rate of taxation to the benefit of every tax payer.
It not only benefits the whole community but increases directly the value of property in the community through which it passes.
The railroads of Montgomery county to-day pay 8 7-10 per cent of all the taxes in the county.
Ripley township1 i3 the only township in the county without a railroad. Her citizens and tax payers have helped to build our railroads, and have done it without oomplaint.
The railroads of Union township which Ripley has helped to build pay 8 8-10 per cent of the taxes of the township, and we have the full benefit of these roads.
If Kipley township gets the proposed railroad she can raise the same amount of revenue by taxation and reduce her levy 16| per cent.
Is it asking too much for the citizens of Ripley township who have helped us, to say to Union township, "Now is the time to return the favor."
To fit the golden rule to the facts, Ripley township says, "Do unto us as we have done unto you." Her citizens ask this of the citizens of Union township, and the citizens of Union will answer on next Tuesday.
What shall the answer be? It took years to educate our people up to the idea of good gravel roads and other like improvements, but who would have them taken away to day for what they cost?
The gravel road, the rural free delivery route, and the railroad cannot pass the dooryard of every citizen, but that does not argue that we shall not have them.
Locate and construct them so as to serve the public best, and the public and the people will adjust their conditions so as to obtain through them the largest possible benefit.
This railroad will not be built unless the people of the townships through which it passes are willing to take stock in said road, and qhare the risks that the individuals who are putting their private money and time into the enterprise take.
The township in taking stock will be upon an equal footing with any stockholder in the company. If it pays other stockholders it will pay the township, and the township will have the additional advantage of having the road with all its benefits, whether it pays a dividend on the stock or not.
It is certainly fair that the public sharing the benefits should stand along side the individual In promoting the enterprise.
Not a dollar of the amount voted can be paid until the road is built and the cars running over it.
The township taking stock in the company is in no way liable for any debt of the company.
