Said one rumor: A terrible murder hai been committed near the city. Said another rumor: Bonus riot- era had blown up the White House. Said a third: President Hoover has been assassinated. The city was in turmoil. Wild stories of every sort were circulated and--human nature being what it is--found eager believers.

There is probably no clearer.ex- ample of the important part that newspapers play in our daily lives.

Roosevelt, if elected President, will not serve a full four years. Or that Herbert Hoover, if he is re-elected, will not hold office lour years longer. Either looks like a safe bet.

Not because tragedy, revolution or impeachment might cut short the term of the President to be elected this fall, but because of the lame duck amendment which was passed by the last Congress and referred to the states for ratification. This amendment to the Constitution fixes January 20 as the inaug- ral date for the President instead of March 4, as at present. The chances are that it will be ratified Yjy a sufficient number of states within the next year or two and will take effect during the term of the next President. Consequently either Mr. Hoover or Mr.

Roosevelt, elected this fall, would serve only until noori of January 20, 1933, which would be 43 days short of four years. The vice- president's term also will be changed to end on Jan. 20. The terms of members elected to the House of Representatives likewise' may 'be shortened if ratification of the amendment is speedy. It was primarily to do "lame duck" that the amendment was proposed and so persistently pressed by Senator JTorris.

In the case of the amendment provides that their terms shall end not upon March 4, nor even on January 20 as with the President, but on January 3, when the newly elected congress is to be assembled, instead waiting until the follow- away with so-called session of Congress ing December. Speedy ratification of amendment by the necessary three fourths of the states would mean that representatives elected this November would serve only until January 3, 1935, or a term of one year and ten months instead ot two years. Similarly senators elected this fall would serve only five years and ten months instead of six years, and those already Hitting whose terms expire in 193E. and 1937 would serve two months less than the terms to which they were elected. The amendment provides that it shall take effect in January of the year in, which the officials' terms would have ended if -the amendment had not been adopted.

The amendment requires congress assemble at least once a year, such meeting to begin at noon January 3 unless Congress shall -toy law appoint a different day. The old short session of Congress is abolished, and congressmen defeated inr re-election in November will serve less than two months before their HUCCCS- sors take office. There is a possibility, but a scant one, that the amendment will f'lil of ratification. If it is not ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years, it will fail. However.

14 states already have ratified. Virginia was the first, with New York second and Mississippi third. Others which have acted favorably are New Jersey, South Carolina, Michigan. Maine. Rhode Island, Illinois, Louisiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

The amendment will not Via submitted to the Missouri General Assembly until next January, as it will not meet until that time. The legislatures of most of the other states which have not already acted also, convene in January, so it Is possible that the amendment may be finally ratified early next year. When it takes effect, Congress will be more quickly responsive to the will of the people. What Other Editors Say i i YOtJR NEWSPAPER What would happen in any city If it should be suddenly deprived of its daily newspapers?

Bryan today frowned on the suggestion of Jovernor Green of South Dakota for a conference of midwestern governors to consider means of raising farm prices. "I am not very strong on conferences," Bryan said.

"The people of this nation have suffered more as the result of surveys and conferences than other alibis they have been afflicted with. "What is needed is leadership. It is the duty of each governor to handle the problems of his own state but the entire nation is suffering from low prices to farmers and unemployment for wage earners. The remedy is the repeal of legislation which caused this condition and not tampering with the effects." Bryan declined to say whether he would attend the conference at Sioux City.

Democrats Oppose Saloon The Democratic platform, he said, "expressly and unequivocally opposes the return of the saloon, and with equal emphasis it demands that there be federal control of the liquor traffic to protect dry states." "The Democratic platform," the candidate for president continued, "fairly and squarely met the issue. It adopted by an overwhelming vote a plank so plain and clear and honest thta no one could doubt ita meaning." "The experience of 150 years has shown us that the proper means of regulating the use of alcoholic beverages," Roosevelt said, "is through the states, with control by the federal government limited to that which is necessary to protect the slales." "This I submit," he continued, "is the principle embodied in our Democratic platform; and I state further that it is not the principle stated in the Republican platform or in the speeches of acceptance of the two candidates of the Republican party."
