“So happy to know!” digest this Japanese child. “He is great Emperor of America—therefore he will last forever.”
“So sorry to reply,” I disgust. “Hon. Pres. Roosevelt will soon stop doing it.”
“Tell me to know, Uncle Togo,” examine this difficult infant. “Is not Emperors made to last considerable length?”
“In responsible kingdoms, yes-so—but in America, no-so. Here Kings is elected for 4 years to discouridge them.”
“These white-coloured foreigners is too hard answers for children to know,” say little Annie Anazuma running away for play-doll amusement.
I say these lectures to Little Annie with great pleasure to be telling something to somebody what believes it. But then come brain-thoughts which bring enjoyment of fierce pangs. What to do with America when Emperor Roosevelt has took himself from it? I enquire for answer.
I beg you to do it as request, Mr. Editor. Please have your printer put some words on editorial page asking Hon. Roosevelt to continue once more term as Emperor of this Republic. I enclose cash of 50c. to pay for your expense of writing, etc. Thank you so many!
Honest to truth, I am aggregated with anger to have Mr. Emperor Roosevelt dictate, “No thank you, not for three-times running!” Why so does he stop being King just at instant when all-national people is enjoying that American performance? It will be sad for my heart to see some private person occupying public career of Hon. Roosevelt when he gets through sitting on it.
What decry Julius Cæsar about being elected too much for Republican party of Rome? “One good term deserves another,” he command, and Mr. Brutus was pleased to be there with stabbing-knife. But this is different subject from what about it.
Now it is historical knowledge that Pres. Roosevelt is ignorant about fear. What does frighten him, then, about this Third Term business affair? Because Hon. Geo. Washington said not do it? So ridicule for great man to think! Hon. Roosevelt is not afraid of Hon. Washington. Then go ahead, Mr. Roosevelt, please! Continue terming for several more administrations.
