S|X-YEAR TERM DOOMED
Democrats Decide to Kill Meas
ure by "PigeonhoIe Route"
HOPE ROOSEVELT WILL RUN
MANY Prefer to Leave Door
Open for Another Chance to
Elect Minority President.

WASHINGTON. Feb SAN easy death by
the "pigeonhole route" is the prospective
fate OF the six-year term resolution
which was referred TO the House Judici-
ary Committee following It's recent adop.
ton in the Senate.
II is reliably reported that the House
leaders have passed the tip along that II
would be irnpolitic to consider at this
session the resolution limiting Presi-
dents TO one term Of six years. and the
measure is not expected TO come from
the committee 1t is also planned that
no effort shall be made 70 invoke spe-
cial rule for the Clayton resolution
which is similar 10 that adopted by the
Senate and which has been on the House
calendar for months
The determination TO administer chior-
oform 70 all six-year term legislation is
due to various causes. large number
OF House members are strongly opposed
10 bringing in any additional special
rules at this session. This was apparent
to-day. when the Rules Committee was
denounced for giving the Webb liquor
bill a privileged status to the exclusion
of appropriation measures.
Democrats are also badly divided on the
six-year-term proposal. and II is under
stood neither President-eiect Wilson nor
william j. Bryan has definitely COM
United himself to the suggestion that
such an important matter should be de-
cided In the closing days OF the session.
There arc not few Democrats who
think the Presidential bee Of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt is a good Democratic
asset. Legislation possibly preventing the
colonel from running again, they argue,
might result In a mere two-sided fight
four wears hence. Certain astute Demo
Gratis hope tho colonel may run again,
thus aiding tho Democratic party 10 put
In another minority President.
The wide divergence OF views among
the House Democrats concerning the
feasibility OF single term legislation has
resulted in the decision TO chloroform tho
bill in the judiciary Committee. which
will consider the onc-tefm resolution on
Tuesday. Even II il should be given
perfunctory report. us consideration at
this session is impossible without spe-
cial rule. which tho Rules Committee
probably would refuse IL pu, TO the test.

Congress Not To Be Depended On.

That Congress is not sound in rs views
on this subject was made evident by the
passage by both houses of the Coosa
River dam bill. which measure President
Taft vetoed because il did not contain
anv provision whereby the government
could demand from the constructors OF
the dam al adequate return foF tho power
which would BE- developed thereby. And
II the present Congress is unSound on the
subject there is grave reason 10 fear mat
the coming Congress will he even more
so. because II will contain numerous
members whose adherence 10 what they
conceive 10 be the states rights principle
far overshadows their loyalty TO the pup
lie welfare, and especially their loyalty
TO the future interests of the general pub
lie. An instance o. this fetch worship
has been afforded recently in tho argyll
mcnts OF Senator O'Gorman and Thomas
+. Carmody. Attorney General for the
State OF New York. regarding the meas
ure under consideration by the Committee
on Foreign Affairs which has to do with
the extension OF adequate federal control
of power developed by Niagara FANS.
These statesmen have contended that
control of the water taken out Of the Nj
asara River and OF the power developed
therefrom should be vested solely in the
state. an argument which is obviously
funda mentally at fault because on the
amount OF water taken from the Mag
ara River depends the level Of the great
lakes. a matter clearly within the prov
incc OF the national government as con-
corning treaty obligations and the rights
of Canada az well az Of the United

BILL.TO PROTECT NIAGARA
Congress Will Be Asked to Ex-
tend the Burton Act.

Washington, Feb. S.---To avoid z pro-
longed struggle over national and state
control Of non-navigable waters. and 20
protect the scenery OF Niagara Falls, the
War department probably will recon-
mend 20 Congress an extension for an
other term Of I'VE years OF the provisions
OF the Burton act. regulating the diver
sion OF water from the Falls for power
purposes An army board has concluded
that existing regulations must be perpet-
ueted. The Burton act expires by limi-
tation March 4.
II is possible 10 prevent further d.
versions Of water under the existing
treaty with Great Britain. but that con-
vention is 50 deficient in the necessary
machinery 10 make it effective that the
next Secretary OF War will be obliged to
exercise arbitrary powers 10 protect the
Falls unless the additional legislation r.
enacted.

Great Britain Delays Canal csttIsmsnt'
From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. February


Great Britain's delay in replying to Sec
rotary Knox's note regarding the Panama
Canal tolls Is generally construed as IN
dicative Of a purpose 10 defer further ne
eot!ations until the next administrator
and, incidentally. az tribute TO the oh-
answerablc character OF the legal orIei
submitted by the Secretary OF state. Oh
course. the introduction Of the bill Of Sen
ator Roo, providing for the repeal OF the
free tolls provision. the apparent amaze
ment OF the Democrats that they were let
into an arrangement which amounts 10
nothing more nor less than a subsidy, and
the general popular disapproval OF the free
tolls provision have led Great Britain 10
hope for the repeal Of the provision on
purely economic grounds and without re-
gard 10 the British protest. In these cir
cumstances the Foreign Office is assumed
10 regard 1t as unwise TO press the mat
ter during the closing days OF this ad-
ministration. especially as when confined
to purely legal argument there is COM
paratively little to be said in support OF
the British position There is, moreover
an impression in the Foreign ONCE that
the President-elect favors the principle or
arbitration. and that he will either take
stand in favor OF repeal or negotiate
special agreement providing for arbitra-
ton. In thus attempting to forecast any
opinion of tho future President the Erit-
ishers arc exhibiting a temerity which
astounds all those in public life in Wash
ington. with the exception OF those VINO
hold themselves as, In this respect Az
least angels who are careful OF then
footsteps. In any event the prospect that
the question of free tolls for American
shipping will be passed up 20 the Wilson
administration seems excellent.

Washington. Feb. S.--After stormy

Des Arc Items.

Quite a delegation from Des Arc
Arc and Brunot attended the Pied
mont fair; 100 tickets were sold from
Des Arc, and about fifty went in wa
CONS and buggies. The fair was a
grand success. The average attend
ance was about 1000 a day. The gate
receipts Wednesday were more chan
5000, to say nothing of the money re-
ceived from concessions. The aero
plane was a great sight. l heard sew
eral say they weuld not have missed
it for $40, and some who did not go
are ~regretting it. No. 8 stopped here
every evening at5 O'Clock which gave
our people a chance to come home.
do not doubt that if the matter had
been properly presented to the rail-
| road officials we could have had a
train from Bismarck every morning.
That would have meant 800 more peo-
Pile at the fair every day. AS it was
there we're few present from lronton,
Bismarck and other points up the
road. We hope the directors will look
after this next year. The agricultural
exhibit was immense. The corn, oats,
wheat, apples, etc., were as fine as l
ever saw. The school exhibit was
very good. Ironton had a fine exhlb-
it. 1t is strange that more of our Iron
county. schools were not represented.
A sad accident happened Miss Allie
Fitz of Des Arc during the fair. She
went buggy riding Thursday evening
with Mr.. Ed Maddox (who had a fine
mare there that carried off the blue
ribbon). The trace broke and the
mare commenced kicking, and Miss
Allie Jumped out of the rig breaking
her right leg above the knee. She
was brought home on No. 5. DR.. Ton
ey is waiting on her and at this writ
ing she is resting easy. So, as it re-
suited, it was a dear fair to us; but ii
might have been worse, so we are
very thankful to our Lord and Master,
