like Shoshone county would be asked
to provide accommodations. Under
the law the county selected by the pro-
bate judge must accept the charge and
keep the prisoners.
Since the condemnation by Inspec-

much speculation as to who is re-

that he could not we'll fail to take Of

said that no county had a right to
maintain Jail as unfit for use as the

were being carried out. No longer will
the prisoners cook their own meals,
but from now on, as long as :he Iatah
county Jail is occupied, the men will
be served from the outside. The county
allows the sheriff forty cents a day,
and the best Sheriff Brown could do
was to get two meals per day at soc
per man, and the sheriff will take a
day off as soon as the Jail is cleaned
up to figure out his profits.
With the exception of some new
bedding, which will be laundered, all

NEW YORK, April 24.-Without tn,
slightest doubt, according to present
reliable information, an effort will b.
made at the republican national con-
vention to be held at Chicago in Jane
to insert plank in the platform o.
that convention which in effect will ad-
vocate a term of six years for the
president Of the United States anC
the incumbent shall not be eligible
for denomination.
This proposition has been discussed
from the very foundation of the gov
ernment, from the first days of the
constitutional convention of 1888. AT
intervals during all the intervening
years bills have been introduced at
Washington seeking to bring about
an amendment to the constitution Of
the United States by which presi-
dent shall have only one term of six
years. Always they have been de-
feated. The measures looking to that
end have been defeated mainly because
of a lack of concentration of effort and
for the further reason that no sub
stantial public sentiment demanded
the reform.
Plank Drawn Up.
1t is now believed, however, that
there is a real live demand for the
proposed amendment to the cOnstitu-
tion, and to satisfy that sentiment
plank has been prepared to be sub
mitted to the next republican national
which advocates a suitable
embodying the following
change to section 1 of article II. Of the
United States Constitution:
The president and vice. president of
the United States shall be elected for
4 term of six years, beginning with
tho 4th day of March, A. D., 1916.
