Six Year Term. 
In his Massachusetts campaign, 
our honored President, William 
Howard Taft, stated fairly his posi- 
tion in going into the field to cam- 
He was forced into the fight 
paign. it 
to protect the positions he had 
taken. He also spoke in favor of a 
Presidential term of six years, for 
one term only. There are many rea- 
sons why this would be wise. The 
present undesirable condition ought 
not to be repeated, i. e., the President 
of the United States being forced to 
protect his good name. The report 
of the judiciary committee of the 
Senate favorable to the Works reso- 
lutions was not unexpected. The 
Works resolution ‘provides for an 
unrenewable term of six years for 
the President. Strangely enough, 
there is a minority report favoring 
a single term of four years. It is 
evident that the committee was un- 
animous on one point, the advis- 
ability of a single Presidential term. 
The only reason such a law has never 
been placed on the statutes has been 
due to the popular belief that the un

written law of two four year terms 
and only two terms following the 
custom of Washington, would never 
be broken. It is now evident that 
the unwritten law has no hold when 
the personal ambitions of certain 
men are thwarted thereby. While 
there was faith in the minds of the 
people that this unwritten law 
would never be broken the law was 
unnecessary. The sooner, now the 
law is recorded the better for all 
concerned. Certain results would 
follow. (1) The President’s policy 
would be national rather than part- 
isan, i.e., While the President would 
be the titulae head of a party his 
great office would have impulses 
constantly at work to make its 
work national rather than partisan. 
(2) The President would not be 
harassed by enemies who hold the 
club over him of withheld support 
at the second term fight. (3) It 
would end forever the possibility of 
the repetition of the spectacle that 
has been displeasing to every one. 
It is not right to subject the Presi- 
dent to the necessity of taking the 
stump in his own behalf. (6) It 
would insure six years of an able 
man’s time and devotion. It will 
be a national blessing if the law 
can be carefully formulated and 
passed. 
Accident Prevention. 
The day is going when a man ora 
corporation may exploit a laborer of 
his ability, strength and_ health. 
However much men may protest 
against the extreme positions taken 
by the socialist all must admit that 
individualism is forever dead. No 
man can now live for himself, by 
himself or to himself. Society now 
has a claim upon the employer of 
labor and has also the right for its 
own protection to limit the freedom 
of employees. Every enterprise is 
entitled to legitimate profits suffi- 
cient to maintain the efficiency of 
the plant, suitably reward invest- 
ment stocks or bonds and to pay liv- 
ing wages to its employees. It is now 
a community question for both the 
manufacturer and the public are in- 
terested parties. Consequently, the 
reforms of business are of general 
interest. A few undisputable laws 
may be stated. (1) It should be 
illegal to employ labor indoors un- 
der unhygienic conditions. (2) All 
occupational diseases should be

studied by an expert body with 
legal authority to execute reason- 
able rules. (3) A time limit for 
service should follow in all occupa- 
tions impairing the health of the 
worker. (4) All moving machinery 
should be carefully protected. (5) 
Expert medical service should be 
furnished without expense to the 
employee in every establishment em- 
ploying indoors over fifty persons, 
especially those employing female 
labor. The gathering of several 
thousand superintendents in New 
York to study the problem of acci- 
dent prevention is an indication of 
the spirit of the times. With the 
inauguration of this campaign wiil 
be begun the initial cooperative ef- 
fort in America to improve in«us- 
trial conditions and the efficiency 
of the laborer. To assist in the pro- 
gram of education the motion pic- 
ture has been used to special ad- 
vantage. By these motion pictures 
the efficiency of health and life sav- 
ing devices may be thoroughly ex- 
plained and illustrated. Thus science 
progresses. Every thoughtful citi- 
zen is interested in such cooperative 
methods for preventing the disas- 
trous waste of human life. Science 
has discovered the spirit of the 
Good Samaritan and uses the light- 
ning and the mysteries of medicine 
to do its life saving and life giving 
work. 
Sunday Observance. 
The observance of Sunday as a 
day of rest and worship is provided 
by our State constitution. Secular 
labor is unconstitutional except in 
cases of emergency. Apart even 
from the religious interests of the 
day the North Shore’s best inter- 
ests lay in the observance of the 
day. At this season of the year un- 
til the days of late fall the tempta- 
tion to rob the North Shore mer- 
chants, contractors, business men 
and laborers of their Sunday is open 
to many. Do not wait until Sun- 
day to plan your work, to consult 
artisans and lay out work. Save 
the day for well deserved rest and 
permit others to enjoy the same 
privileges you enjoy. It would be a 
good thing for the whole shore if 
every owner gave every servant on 
the estates greater liberty on the 
Sabbath. The real and best inter- 
ests of the North Shore are limited 
with a general and sincere observ-
