system, or to tax machinery
out of existence, don’t make the
kind of reading that the folks back
home want to see. The politicians,
now that Lincoln’s words about
patents and inventors are being
shown to have current bearing,
are beginning to doubt the wisdom
or popularity of “talking down’'
machines and inventions.
Washington itself is all set to
celebrate the double-diamond an
niversary of patents in April But
the attention of the country was
focussed on the subject last week
in New York, where a “National
Modern Pioneers’ Celebration,
sponsored by the National Asso
ciation of Manufacturer's, was be
ing held.
The “Modern Pioneers” in ques
tion were the industrial research
men throughout the country who,
started the ball rolling to make
more jobs, increase manufactur
ing payrolls, and make new pro
ducts available to Americans ev
erywhere. In all, more than 500 of
these inventors have been honored
at celebrations throughout the
country, and the dinner at New
York was the climax to the whole
affair.
Some of the inventions of these
men paved the way for industries
that today employ thousands on
their payrolls. Others made a
humbler contribution. But when
the number of direct and indirect
jobs made possible by these in
ventions are all added up together
they make impressive reading not
only for Washington politicians
but for ordinary citizens every
where.
The contributions of inventors,
made possible because the Patent
| System offered them fair rewards
and reasonable protection, can nev
er be completely measured. But
I just as an indication, it’s interest
I ing that fourteen new industries
developed because of inventions
perfected since 1870 now provide
THE COVINGTON NEWS
an estimated 13 million direct and
indirect jobs in the United States.
Thoughts like these must have
been running through the minds
of the two thousand people who
gathered in New York City last
week to honor the “Modern Pio
neers.” In that audience were sen
ators, congressmen, educators,
manufacturers, and many others,
and it was an impressive occasion.
The mere physical presence of the
many inventors who have contrib
uted so much to making life bet
ter in this country and to increas
ing job opportunities for all of us
was more effective than all the
arguments in the world in knock
ing to pieces the attitude that ma
chines take away more jobs than
they make You can’t laugh off the
presence of thirteen million jobs
where none existed before.
That is the impression that is
drifting back to Washington. The
eubli,. sh , uM b, i„., resM . b.
cause this is a tend that may have
an important bearing on national
prosperity. It means that those in
high places should b- less inclined
nowadays to utter or approve spe
cious argument, i, pain.t machines.
It means that the work of iob
building carried on in the 2.000
laboratories of industrial research
by nearly 30.000 laboratory work
- accelerated rr„ b ' pace. •«* *?« Industry ™ ■* and ■"
science, alreadv spending at the
rate of $177,875,000 a month to
find new products and uses, should
not he hampered by legislation
designed to cripple the Patent
System. The signs—imitating pub
lic opinion, public demands—point
that way. The temper of the times
and the words of Lincoln are like
ly to be heeded.
In other words, 1940 is going to
see more “fuel” added to the “fire
of genius”—more progress, more
products, more prosperity—if pub
lie opinion has its way.

SMART SALAD SUGGESTIONS
I(ere’s a neat tip for a short-cut
supper bowl salad—just line a big wood
en with shredded lettuce, then
heap a mound of real old-fashioned
fresh cucumber pickle slices in the
heart of the crisp green bowl
You’H find this the tastiest salad
ever, made with these pale jade
slices of tender young cucumbei
fiavorecTVith an old-fashioned blenc
of piquant spices and fruity, aro
matic vinegar. And it’s a quick
trick too, using the ready-to-serve
kind that comes packed in the plump
octagonal jar. Not even a salad
dressing is necessary—all you have
to do is pry up the lid—spoon out
a bowiful—and serve. For another
tasty trick, try adding chopped
fresh cucumber pickles to a bowlful
of cole slaw made of carrots and
cabbage and shredded green pep
per. These tart little pickle chips
add just the right amount of zip
and zing when you use them in the
following proportions:
CABBAGE AND CUCUMBER
PICKLE SALAD
Combine and mix thoroughly —
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
Vs cup (1 medium) chopped greet
tablespoon pepper
1 finely chopped onior
14 cup (12 slices) chopped fresh
1 teaspoon cucumbei pickle
sugar
Vs teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons mayonnaise.
I Serve in cups of lettuce and ar
j range on a salad platter or on in
dividual salad plates. (Serves 6.)

SAVORY NEW STUFFING
How would you like to try dress

lew stuffing stuffing this year? of A tender, dry
:asty made very
bread cubes seasoned with salt, a
dash of pepper and slivers of onion

consomme in place of the usual
butter and water mixture. It's the
consomme that gives such a fine
lusty flavor to this dressing—the
full bodied flavor of golden con
somme brewed from prime beef.
Then for extra seasoning, add
glossy ripe mission olives to the
stuffing. These succulent little
orown chunks have a rich nutty
lavor, a fine meaty texture that
»dds a real luxury touch to the
iressing. It s a luxury touch at
audget prices, too, when you use

“Roosevelt Again,” is the title of
a magnificept thesis written by
Joseph F. Guffey, United States
Senator from Pennsylvania, which
the writer has just read with more
interest than any political docu
ment of recent years. It has been
published by Senator Guffey in a
small book and sent to outstand
ing supporters of the “Draft Roose
velt” movement. It is herewith
summarized for readers of this
newspaper who may not come
across a copy.
Senator Guffey is a Democrat,
whose family have been Demo
crats since Jefferson's time. He
is a liberal Democrat and a mili
tant New Dealer. He and Roose
velt have been political “buddies”
since they fought for Woodrow
Wilson's nomination at Baltimore
in 1912. He was one of the first to
advocate Roosevelt for President,
as early as 1930, and one of the
first to come out for drafting
Roosevelt in 1940.
Senator Guffey demonstrates
conclusively that the so-called
tradition limiting a President to
two terms is not a fundamental
principle of American
but a hob-goblin used by politic
ians when it may serve the pur
pose of frightening the people
away from a man the people want.
A considerable number of Am
ericans have been led to
mistakenly that the Constitution
forbids a third term, when in point
of fact the Constitutions
no restriction of any kind
Presidential tenure. The
of the Convention who wrote
Constitution debated this point
many weeks and rejected
proposal to limit the tenure.
even larger number of people
the mistaken notion that a
term is forbidden by some
written Law” similar to
j common law, when in point of
no such law exists in this
and none could exist under
American system. There is yet
other group, who do not
to either of these notions, but
an unreasoning
about a third term.
Can the people have the
; they want for President? That
the sole and only question

Washington as a member of the

limiting Presidential tenure.
Washington declined a third term
because he was aging and tired

ing his eight years. Without a
single exception, every outgoing
President hag wanted a successor
who would carry forward his pro
gram.
From Monroe to Franklin D.
Roosevelt only four Presidents
served two full terms: Jackson,
Grant, Cleveland and Wilson. Two
in that period served an unex
pired term and then a full term:
Theodore Roosevelt and Coolidge.
Where did these six Presidents
stand on the so-called tradition
against a third term?
Jackson could have had a third
term for the asking. He declined
it not on principle, but for the
simple reason that “the time has
now come when advanced age and
a broken frame warn me to re
tire.”
Grant wrote, concerning a third
term: “I do not want it any more
than I did the first. The question
of the number of terms allowed a
President can only some up fairly
in the shape of a proposal to
amend the Constitution. It may
happen in the future that to
change a President because he
has been eight years in office will
prove unfortunate if not disas
trous for the country.”
