He believes that congress will act
favorably upon it.
The senate will probably pass early
in the session the resolution provid
for a six-year term for the presi
dent. The senate committee on judi
ciary gave its approval to this amend
ment during the last session, but no
definite action was taken.
Senator Clark of Wyoming, chair
man of the committee, declares his
belief that a majority of the senators
t:re in favor of the proposed change.
B'lt he recognizes there is a decided
I opposition.
Among those opposed to the plan are
1 Senator Bacon, democrat, of Georgia,
' who favors a two-year presidential
;torm, allowing reflections as often as
; the people of the country desire; and
! Senator Borah of Idaho, republican
piogressive. who believes that the ex
j ibting constitutional provisions rela
' live to the tenure of a president in
office can not be improved upon.

The most remarkable thing about
the work on the new Y. M. C. A.
building is the speed with which it is
being pushed. The close of work on
Saturday evening saw the foundation,
finished on two sides of the building,
and a large part on the third wall done.
Two months ago, there were plenty
of people who freely predicted that
nothing could be done on the building
wis rail, some, more optimistic
than the others, thought that the ex
cavation might be made before cold
weather, but that nothing further was
to be expected. Contractor C J. Lar-
kln refused to be discouraged by these
pessimistic prophets, and went to work
to do the best he could. The result is
that the excavation is completed, most
of the foundations in, and the plumb
ing work well in hand, within five
weeks from the day when he began
on the Job. From the start that has
been made, there Is every reason to
believe that the building will be com
pleted on schedule time, and turned
over to the association ready for bus
iness.
The board of directors of the asso
ciation will hold their regular monthly
meeting this evening. State Secre
tary K. A. Shumaker of Chicago
Is to be present, to assist in making
plans for the laying of the cornerstone
of the new building, which will take
place within a week or two, and which
is to be made an event of importance.
