.BORAH BITTERLY SCORES
S|X-YEAR TERM IDEA
Senator StrenuousIy Objects
to Proposed Amendment
to Constitution.

\ vigorous attack was directed by
Senator Borah yesterday afternoon at the
proposed constitutional amendment to
limit the presidential term TO six years
and make the incumbent Ineligible to re-
election during the debate in the Senate.
He said:
When Caesar comes-when the man on
horseback enters the other end of Penn
sylvania avenue-it will be after the Ques-
ton of terms of office. whether four years
or six years, or eligibility or ineligibility
sifill have ceased To be considered. it will
be after constitutions shall have been
discredited and their terms forgotten; it
will be when people shall have ceased to
consider whether they provide one thing
or another. So long as We are making
constitutions or amending them we do so
upon the basis that those constitutions
are to serve free people who love their
government. who are intelligent and pa
triotic and who shall jealousy guard its
interests For such Il people there can be
no Justification In taking away their
rights to select whom they would for
their chief magistrate.

MORE INSECTS SLAUGHTERED

Plans for maintaining Washington in
a sanitary condition throughout the fall
and winter and making permanent the
beneficial results Of The Stars fly war
will he adopted at meeting of the per-
manent clean city committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia to he held in the board
room Of the municipal building Tuesday,
September 3.
The Stars five-month anti-hy campaign
is to close at the end Of September and
by that time. it is expected, the COM
mittee will be ready to inaugurate its
second sanitary regime of the year.
This body, which is made up of rep
resentatiyes of a large number of
civic organizati ons. conducted a clean
up crusade under the auspices of The
Star last April. One of the principal
objects of the fall campa gn will be to
destroy the feeding places of flies that
survive the summer war and make con-
ditions unfavorable for the develop
ment of the insects next season.
Subcommittee to Meet Soon.
William II. Richardson of the Ben
ming Citizens Association is chairman

ship. is under the guidance of John G.
McGrath. president of the Park View
Citizens Association. 1t is the plan
of Mr.. McGras call meeting of
the subcommittee at an early date and
arrange for general representation
on the full committee as possible.
The committees crusade last April.
in which citizens generally participant
ed, resulted in tons of rubbish being
hauled out of the city and deposited
at the various public dumps. a formal
crusade for the fall may not be de-
cided upon, but the committee, at all
events. will promulgate rules for the
guidance of citizens in keeping their
premises clean and very likely will
urge several changes in the Districts
sanitary regulations.
The committees activities. following
the fly war. are bound TO be effective in
reducing next seasons fly population. IL
general effort is made by citizens in
September to put their premises in SAM
tary condition. millions of insects will
find their food supplies cut off and, as
result, there will be fewer of the pests
to survive the winter and bring on next
seasons horde of disease-spreaders-
