AN APPEAL TO CITIZENS.

May /, 1912, bids fair to become
memorable In American history as the
day upon which great reform meas
ure was initiated in the House of
Representatives If finally incorporat-
cd into our fundamental law, as We
firmly believe it will be, it will bear
the name of its author, the distin
guished Representative from Alabama
and chairman of the committee on
Judiciary. the Hon. Henry D. Clayton,
and will be known as the Clayton Res
olution. 1t provides, in brief. that the
following be adopted by the Congress
and the states as a substitute for
Section l, of Article II, of the Consti-
tuition of the United States:
The executive power shall be vested
in a President of the United States
of America. He shall hold its office
during the term of six years and shall
be ineligible to second term.
This is in substance the provision
which James Madison urged upon the
Constitutional Convention, which
Thomas Jefferson pleaded for In let
ters to George Washington, which
Andrew Jackson recommended in four
distinct messages to Congress, and
which, on December 10, 1875, Demo
cratic House of Representatives ap-
proved in spirit without a dissenting

Origin OF COLORS
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

That the harmonious and brilliant
tints in the geysers and hot-spring
pools are due mainly to plant life Is
one Of the interesting statements
made in a publication entitled, THE

partment of the Interior. Algoe -four

Mammoth Hot Springs Wherever
these boiling waters cool to the tenn

srowths appear, and by the lowering

air still more highly organized forms
gradually come in. It Is said that at
about 140 degrees the conditions are
favorable for the rapid growth of sew
eral species. The development of
plant life at such excessive tempera-

vote from any member of the historic
party. 1t is peculiarly fitting, there
fore, that now, when for the first time
its adoption seems probable. the meas
ure should originate in a Democratic
House of Representatives and bear the
name Of Democratic statesman.
The reasons for the acceptance of
the amendment are 50 potent and so
obvious that they hardly require to be
set forth. A few, however, may be
stated briefly.
1t will remove the living menace of
Caesarism.
1t will enhance enormously the eff
ficiency of President, first, by re-
moving the temptation and recognized
need of seeking a denomination, and,
secondly, by according to him suffi-
cient time to make effective the pur-
poses for which he was chosen.
1t will kill the base use of political
patronage and induce inevitably a
higher standard of appointments.
1t will make impossible repetition
of the humiliating spectacle of Pres
ident of the United States forced to
the hastings in defense of his admin
istration's conduct, his party's integrl-
ty, and his own personal honor.
1t will reduce by one-half the ire
mendous losses consequent upon a
turbulent national election.
1t will save to the country directly
millions of dollars, and to the people
indirectly hundreds of millions.
1t will enable a President to be

a statesman, and not a Politician

Wife DIES TO
Save HUSBAND
Two Persons Dead and Several Were
Wounded In Street Riot at
JeIllco, Ky.

Jellico, KY, May 13.-Fully twenty
five persons participated In riot yes
terday afternoon, and at least one hun
dred and fifty shots were fred. As a
result two persons are dead and sew
eral wounded.
The trouble started when Tom Bow
lin, the marshal, attempted the arrest
Of Wiley Parton, who was shooting
promiscously on the street. Seeing
the men firing at each other, Mrs.
Bowlin, wife of the marshal, jumped
in between them, and was shot twice,
once in an arm and a second time in
the heart, dying almost instantly. Par
ton was shot through the chest, and
was dead when the smoke of battle
cleared away. Wesley Parton, we'll
known feudist and father of Wiley
Parton, also was shot down, but how
serious his wounds are cannot be
told, as friends took him from the
scene.
A. L. Butcher, who supported the
marshal, was shot through the neck
and is seriously hurt. Some of the
bystanders say that Butcher fired the
shot which took young Parton's life.
AL Bowlin, another of the wounded,
was dubbed on the head with a gun,
and is seriously injured. The latter is
a brother of the marshal
Adding to the excitement of the &C.
casion, Marshal Bowlin attempted to
take his own life when he found that
his wife had sacrificed her life to save
him. A pistol with which he would
have shot himself was knocked from
his hand by a friend.
At Oswego, Tenn, six miles from
Jellico, and at about the same time
the battle was in progress, two min
ers, Bill Boyd and Bill Jones, fast |
friends for years, quarreled over some |
trivial matter and fought knife duel.
Jones was stabbed in the heart ana
died instantly. Boyd was arrested
The men, 1t is said, were drinking.

to include all the territory north of

plain somewhat altered by ice action
