JOHNSHARP WILLING FOR ROOSEVELT
TO RUN AGAIN.

In the debate in the Senate on the proposed
constitutional amendment limiting a president to a
single term, Senator Root offered an amendment
which would make the amendment applicable only
to presidents elected after It's adoption. This
would leave Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson eligible to
another term ev,n were the constitution amended
as proposed. Senator Williams took a prominent
part in the debate. He favored limiting the presi-
dent to a single term, but opposed making the law
retroactive-that Is applicable to the existing pres
ident or ex.presidents. But it was not for love OF
Roosevelt that the Mississippi senator favored a
law leaving him eligible to the presidency.
After referring to the fanaticism that was back
of one man (not naming him but meaning Roose-
velt) and the claim that would be made that the
amendment was aimed at him, Senator Williams
said
IL do not want him to die believing
/, that he could have been elected again pres
ident Of the United States if he had not
been prevented by a constitutional amend
ment. want him to run again; | want
him to run again, twice more if he wants
to,and to be beaten both times and then
he will probably be satisfied. But when
fight men | fight them fairly. I would not
take advantage of a man by making a pro-
vision retroactive so as to keep him from
having a free field and a fair opportunity
y As is his habit, Senator Williams reinforces
sound reasoning with practical sense. The amend
ment as finally passing the Senate is retroactive
and cuts out of presidential ~eligibles Roosevelt,
Taft and Wilson to whom the law Of the land did
not deny a second term when elected to their first.
The House may remedy this. If it does not, that
feature of the proposed amendment will prevent,
as argued by Mr.. Williams, its adoption by three
fourths Of the states of the Union, and the
presidential term limitation, which is a desirable
cha lge, will be defeated. 49,, q"

CONGRESSMAN GAMBLER.

The following comment from another district
on the Congressman from the first district is well
deserved. Still a Copgressman's usefulness tc his
own. district should hot cut him off from higher
honors, or deprive the whole, country Of higher SER
vices from him, Mr.. Gambler would make a most
active, impartial, wise and efficient Secretary of
Agriculture and the BEACON would like to see him
In the Cabinet. f.s "
TO Hon. E. s. Gambler, Jr., Representative
from the First Mississippi district, belongs the dis
%t!nction OF dean OF the Mississippi delegation IN
Congress. ,.
Mr.. Candler was first elected to the Fifty-Sev-
enth Congress, and has therefore served ~continu-
ously for twelve years. Once or twice he has had
opposition from very strong, men, but his easy
triumph has shown the wonderful hold which he
has upon his constituents. Mr., Gambler has made
q painstaking, conscientious, practical member.
AS a member of the Committee on Agriculture, he
has done yeoman service not only to his own dis
trict. and the people of Mississippi. but to the
farmers throughout the nation.
The activity Of Mr.. Gambler in the matter of Sc
curing rural routes brought splendid results to the
people of the First District. Seeing the benefits
to be derived from such routes, these benefits now
being accumulated by the parcels post, he lent his
tlreless efforts TO getting as many rural routes for
his people as possible. And so successful was he
that ne held the record of all Congressman through
out the nation of having secured more rural routes
than any other Congressman.
A vigilant advocate of good roads, his speeches
in and out of Congress have contributed in a large
degree to creating a sentiment which now demands
the building of permanent roads. The speech he
delivered in Congress in favor of good roads last
year attracted nationwide attention, and it will be
remembered that the Clarion Ledger had occasion
to quote from it and commend the same in %unquali-
fled terms.
Mr.. Gambler may not be an ornamental member
OF Congress, but he has proven a most useful one.
In fact, so meritorious have been his services that
his name is being conspicuously mentioned in con-
nection with the Secretary of Agriculture in the
cabinet soon to be announced by President Wilson.
1t is understood that his fellow members of Con-
gress, not only from Mississippi, bit throughout
the country without reference to section or party,
are lending their endorsement to this cabinet sug-
gestion. The Aberdeen Examiner, however. al
ways a power of industrial and agricultural
strength, thinks that Mr.. Gambler can better serve
the people of his district and of Mississippi by re-
naming in Congress. Be this as it may, Mr.. Can
dler has won and deserves the honors which he so
worthlly wears, and whether he stays in Congress
or enters the cabinet. he would continue to be of
great service to his party and his country. He is
only nifty, years of age and has many years of USE
tulness ahead Of him. Clarion Ledger.

A. R. McBurney's Big Stock Sale, a
Great Success.

The largest strictly stock sale ever
held in this section Of the state, was
held at the McBurney Ranch, northeast
of Welsh, on the 18th inst. In this sale
Mr.. McBurney disposed OF approximate
ly 200 head of registered and high grade
Polled Angus cattle, which brought IN
the neighborhool Of 100000. The day
was good one, and a good crowd OF
bidders were present being attracted
by the thorough advertising given the
sale.
The average price of the cattle sold
was considerably above that ever reall'
zed on stock in this section OF the state
before. Two year old heifers sold at
an average of s54.5o per head. Warnings
averaged s34OO per head, and last spring
calves averaged $3.50 per head, these
of course being all good smooth hlgh
grade Polled Argue stock. The home
raised registered bulls, yearllngS ana
two year old ranged from $lOO to $lSo
each.
In this sale, Mr.. McBurney disposed
of a part only of three years calf crop,
and IS retaining very select herd for
his own pastures. He stated that ne
expected to brand at least 100 Polled
Angus calves this coming summer.
The results of this sale illustrate
what one man with persisted energy
and rightly directed efforts can accom-.
plish. not only for himself, but for the
community as well. Less than five
years ago the aged cattle that sold in
this sale for s45O. $1,000 and S23.5o,
] could have been bought in any quaint
ties at from $500 to 1900 per head. In
;; that short space of time, MIR. McBurney
. by Systematically improving his nerd
is able to market his cattle at from
three to five times the amount that
native stock was worth five years ago
and at least twice what native stock is
worth now. Nor does this benefit
accrue to Mr.. McBurney, alone az
through his effort large number OF
Angus bulls have been scattered
through the country, until at the
present time, the general average Of
d the cattle of this locality are worth
S at least so per cent more than are
e the cattle of other communities, where
y no efforts have been made to improve
: the stock.
