For some time, here and there, post
masters on their own initiative have
attempted to defeat the wiles of Gu
pid by local measures against the
clandestine use of the general delivery
service. Now the postoffice depart
ment has taken steps to check the
practice by nation wide regulation.
The new rules authorize postmast-
ers to require all persons to furnish
in writing their names and address,
and a statement of their reasons for
wishing to be served at general deliv-
cry instead of a street address. This
regulation was made in response TO
demands from all parts of the country
that the use of the general delivery
service for clandestine purposes be
stopped or controlled so far as pos
sible The regulation particularly
strikes at minors who for any reason
may wish to receive mail at the gens
eral delivery windows instead of at
home.

JUST A LITTLE REQUEST

There are probably half the homes in
Imperial valley into which the Press

this, apparently. is that it is impossible
to get the other half of the people to
paper, with all the local and all the
worlds news for a dollar a year. The
publishers are giving for 81 all that most
publishers ask from SO to $5 for, and that
is why they feel at liberty to ask you to
speak to your neighbors about the Great
Dollar Daily. Help us make them real
lze what we are offering to them and thus
make the. circulation of the Press uni
Tersal throughout the valley. Il

SIx-yEAR BILL IS
GIVEN A SETBACK
Cooper Objects to Considera-
ton and Measure Goes Over
Until Winter Term.

Washington, Aug. 21-The Clayton
bill to amend the federal constitution
to provide a single presidential term
of six years was reached by the house
Monday. But an objection by Rep
resentative Cooper OF Wisconsin sent
the resolution over to the winter SEES
sion of congress.
Mr.. Cooper was waiting for 1t to be
reached on the calendar of bills on
which unanimous consent was neces-
sorry, and he fired his objection in
stantly across the chamber.
Mr.. Clayton sought Intellectually to
get in word OF explanation, and the
speaker was forced to remind him that
an objection had been made to his bill.
The first attempt Of the senate to
debate the Works resolution for a sim
gle six-year term plunged that body
Monday into another open discus
sion of the political situation.
| Senator Cummins made the chief
speech in support Of the resolution,
but II was interpolated with a running
fire of comment from progressives, re
publicans and democrats. The debate
became an issue between Senator Dor
ali and Senator Williams as to wheth
er Colonel Roosevelt or Governor VIII
son had been guilty OF greater indis
erection in use of language in theil
writings of recent years.
Senator Borah read from one of Gov
ernor Wilson's works to show that the
democratic candidate had favored lont
tenure of the presidential Office
Il think the senator will admit" re
torted Senator Williams, that Cover
nor Wilson has never written NOR,
recklessly than Theodore Roosevelt"
IF the colonel has written som,
things he ought not to have written,

Senator Williams proposed a const
tutional amendment as a substitute 70
the Works resolution, limiting a pres
dent to two terms of four years each.
Senators Cummins, Works. Bora
and others advocated the six-year teri
resolution. while Senators Clapp, Crav
, ford and Bristow found strong argl
ments against it.
