EX-GOVERNOR POUNDS BILL TO MAKE THE PliFsi-
DENTAL TERM SIX INSTEAD or FOUR YEARS
WHY ng WILL URGE ITS PASSAGE AT The COM
ING SESSION.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON Nov. 19.-Ex-GOvernor Pound the
Representative of the With Wisconsin District
Will try to the passage during the WINTER OF
the resolution introduced by him last spring pro-
vidng for constitutional amendment to extend
the Presidential term to six years. The reeolut'on
Is now pendlng in the House Judiciary Committee
II was favorably received. but Governor Pound
thought it best not press IT to action until after
the Presidential al election.
The resolution in its present form makes nm in
cumbent of the Presidential Office ineligible 70
second consecutive term. The second section
also extends the terms of members of the House
of Representatives 10 three years. The principle
of making the terms Of members of the House one
half as long a. those cf members of the SENATE Is
substantially that H. vogue in nearly all state Leg
isiaures. There Is however more direct reason Ior
tie change. Sessions which next pn,cede Congress
sional elections not usually good business S'S-
siOus. the reason being that C'ngressmen deN Npte
themselves 10 speech-makInE ana Wlre-puilng IN

the term to three years, Governor Pound saws,
would give two sessions for business to one Tor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Judce Lawrence, First
Controller of the Treasury. in his annual report
recommends that all Government officials he gwen
power to administer oaths for the purpose OF
making investigations when called upon by the
Secretary of the Treasury TO do so. It frequently
occurs that accounts involving expend lures when
are alleged to have been made in distant parts OF
the country or in foreign lands are suspended
because Of some doubt which arises IN
regard to the facts the prOpriety of She
expenditure. Under the present arrangements
the Department can take one of three courses. 1t
can send a special agent to make Investigations; !;
it can take for granted much which is questionable
or can suspend reject accounts in regard to which
doubts ans at risk OF dong iDuStce 10 the person
whose account is tau, treated. If Congress grants
the authority asked the Secretary can call upon
Consular officer at foreign p0ri. or upon post

West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1880-05-29

Our division of the year into four sea
sons is rather arbitrary. We often have,
especially in this latitude, spring IN winter.
winter IN spring, autumn in summer, and
summer in autumn. Our two most distinct
seasons are summer and winter, and win
ter, not unfrcquently is, as were the winter
Just past and the winter of lS77-S, only
such IN name. Still, If We should consider
That we have but those two seasons We
should be nearer TO nature than weare now
May, June, July, August, September and
October May justly be ranked with sum
mer. They are generally warm-verv
warm-as many days in April and Novem-
Der are. While they last, il is generally
pleasant and comfortable To have our win
dows open, and outdoor life is delightful.
We do not seem TO understand this, at
least practically, for we remain within
doors tar more than we ought TO. We
seem To cling 10 the habits Of our British
torefathcrs, who, though they are fond of
the outer air and open sky, have SO wretched
climate that they must ilud their chief
satisfaction within walls. The Germans
and the French rcvel in the sunshine.
though they have far less of il than our
selves, and take every occasion To get out
OF doors. We rarely have an open-air
breakfast or dinner, even I'm the country
but the Germans and French never mis-, "A
chance 10 break bread under the blue cano-
py. We should be a healthier, more
cheerful, more oonten,od people II we
should have more To do with external ma
ture, If we should close our doors and 90
out To meet her. Our virtual winters are
very long, so long that we ought to apprc-
ciate the summer all the more. November,
December, January, February, March and
April may be ranked as winter, literally
interspersed with spring aud autumn, but
winter largely predominating. Spring, as
a. definite season, can hardly bc said to
exist here. March is winter with aggrava-
lions; April is not much of anything In
particular May is usually very like sum
mer. Autumn is by no means distinct, 80
that we may as well adhere To the summer
and winter distribution. We Americans
are apt TO associate summer with extreme
heat and discomfort-with thermometers at
100 degrees IN the shade, with drought,
with brceZelesS nights, with period when
the city is unc durable and the country un-
satisfactory. That is the weather of late
june, OF Z and August but May and
September and October more resemble
what summer ought TO be, and generally
are in this latitude. Our summer must bc
calculated at six months for, through all
that period our outdoor life is delightful.
