CUMMINS WANTS
SIX YEAR Term
FOR PRESIDENT
AS SETBACK TO INTERESTS
Thinks The Change Would
be Beneficial

Washington, d. c., Feb. Senator
Cummins opened the debate today on
the Works proposed amendment to the
constitution to limit a president to Il
single siX-year term by proposing u
permit voters to amend the constitu-
toin directly without previous action
of congress when "a substantial ma
jority' demanded such a change.
Senator Cummins declared a presi-
cents work was often neglected and
b, dly performed" because of attention
to effort for denomination and re-
election.
Il think the Sherman antitrust la :
will be more thoroughly administered
more energetically applied to all per-
sons alike, if the president of the
United States is made free from all
the Influences which these great in
terests may exert" said Senator
Cummins.
Senator Borah declared that win
the chance of reelection before a
president this subtle and insidious
, influence of corporation interests
, was counterbalanced by the public de-
mand that that law be enforced.
When the senate took up the pro-
posed amendment it began it's third
days debate upon that question.
All proposed amendments to sr,

welt and President-elect Wilson from

EXCELLENCE OF AMERICUS
SCHOOLS

Every parent in Americas should
feel justly proud of the public schools
here, the excellence and popularity q
which are graphically shown by the
statistics of comparison in the article
printed elsewhere in this issue Of
The Times Recorder, the basis o!
which is the report of Superintendent
Mathis as made at the last meeting Of
the board of education.
There is no better argument that
could be advanced for the proposed
bond issue for schools than this re-
port 1t shows that the schools Of
Americas are effective 1t shows fur
ther that the schools here are superb
or to those of almost any city in the
state the size of Americas. The record
which is shown so clearly and sue
cinctly is a record of which Americu3
is justly proud.
But there is another side to the
matter. That, too, is clearly shown
in the report The local schools, not
withstanding the fact that they are
prominently effective and exception
ally well attended, are so handicapped
by lack of sufficient room that they
are seriously hindered in their work
of supplying educational facilities of
the best kind to the boys and girls of
Americas.
For it is impossible for teachers, no
matter how well equipped and how
experienced, to do their best WORK
when they are compelled to teach
more pupils than they can effectively
instruct, especially when such work IS
to be done in rooms poorly lighted
and insufficiently ventilated. This is
the local problem, summed up il
brief: Americas needs more room TO >
its excellent schools to grow.
There is but one solution of this
problem that has been suggested, that
is, but one solution which can be
really effective, That is for the city
to vote the bond issue that is needed
and do its duty fully and completely
in caring for its schools. This is IA
matter that will be settled only when
it has been settled right. 1t is a mat
ter that will not down. If it is tenn
porarily laid aside at this election, It
will loom up large again next yea :
and the year after The city will not
be able to care for the bond issue any
more easily next year than it is now.
The only wise thing to do is to vote
bonds, and to vote them this year.

You say that some time you will fill

With treasure, sumptuous beyond

The gems of sunny isles and ancient

The jeweled things queen might

i do not crave such gifts; / only need
Your comradeship along the com

Your voice, your shielding presence,

That may have these dearest gems
today.
In golden mist of years that lie ahead
You tell me shall arise castle fine
Whose walls with Oriental fabrics

Whose gardens, fountain-spangle

/ want a low-eaved cot among the

A tiny garden, sweet with waited

OF rose and mint. where we may rest

And wait life's eventide in calm con

If we. by years of fretting care, might
win
The rainbows end, with all it's

We should but find the battle had
been vain
That fairer treasurer had escaped

Lies plentiful and close beside our

And, keeping step together to the end,
Its truest riches we may have to-
