Supervising Architect Windrlm is deter
mined to adopt new policy at least so far
as lies in his power in the appointment of
sGperintendents of public buildings to be
erected in various sections of the country.
Mr. Windrim said to your correspondent in
conversing on tins subject:
81 want to put in men who are practical ar
chtects or builders rather than politicians in
every instance. The interests of the govern
ment can be served best when we divorce
politics from business. In my own private
business my superintendent represents me,
and am responsible for any of his shortcom-
ings to the men who employ me. The gov
ernment employs a superintendent to see
that the contractor does his work properly,
and according to the specifications. If,
therefore, the superintendent neglecLs his
duty the government Is responsible to the
people for the negligence. 1 nave found that,
in the past, men have been employed as super
intendeuts who had no idea of the first prn-
ciples OF building, and in one case which
came to my attention not long ago ! found

The recent permanent shutting down
of two of California's largest woolen
mills is likely to seriously affect the
woolen industry OF that state. Various
reasons are given for the failure of this
business. 1t is claimed that the market
for the sale of California blankets and
flannels is too limited. Although Cali
fornia woolens have won world wide
reputation for quality and durability,
their consumption is practically limited
to the country west of the Rocky noun
tains. A California mill finds it diff
fcult to compete with the eastern mills,
and it can not at all meet the competi-
tion of the English and the Germans in
the European or Aslatic markets.
The closing of these mills, moreover, is
likely to entail embarrassment to the
wool growers of California. One tenth
of the clip of the Pacific coast has been
consumed at home. A larger invoice
will necessarily hereafter be obliged to
find it's way to the eastern markets and
compete with the wools of Texas and
Ohio. In the face of these discouraging
prospects,, however, existing woolen
mills in California and Oregon will
have better chance to succeed. While
the demand may be limited, California
woolens are destined to grow in favor
as their excellence is better understood.

WE ARE reminded by one OF our
political contemporaries that THE BEE
has pursued political methods and used
political weapons in fighting campaigns
heretofore, and its advocacy of the nom
partisan movement for the election Of
school officers is pronounced the veriest
rot. THE BEEdoes not contend that po-
litical methods are to be discarded in
the choice OF public officials whose
functions are purely political. On the
contrary, we believe that political or
ganization is essential when political
battles are to be fought and won. But
we contend that the functions OF school
boards are In no sense political, and the
best interest Of our schools is to re-
move the school boards out Of the arena
Of politics. This is why we do not be-
lieve in proceeding in the usual way to
drag our best men through the cesspool
Of politics. The experiment SO far does
Dot commend itself 70 the friends OF
Dducation.

Notices to Plumbers.

Superintendent of Plumbing Duncin was
busy yesterday sending out notices TO the
licensed plumbers of the city to comply with
the requirements of ordinance 2,055 passed
at the last council meeting which calls for u
deposit of $50 with the city treasurer as
guarantee that all damage to streets and
pavements will be repaired, and asso to de-
posit 81 with the superintendent of plumbing
before permit will be issued to cxcavate on
any street. The $50 deposit from each
plumber will form what will be known US
u plumbers maintaining fund, and all
damages done by plumbers to streets or paw
ing and not repaired by them, will be re-
paired BY the engineer and paid out of this
fund The object Of the $50 deposit is 10
secure the city against loss by small jobs
when the amount of damage is too small to
form ground for an actou against the
plumbers bondsmen. The 81 fee to be de-
posted before any work is commenced, is
expected to yield about $1,000, which will go
toward the support of the superintendent Of
plumbing's department. The superintendent
estimates that the fees of his office under the
new ordinance will amount to about SS, 500 a
year, against an expense Of 81 500. thus max
ing his department self f-sustaining.

CORRUPT POLITICAL METHODS


This subject is discussed in the June
Forum by Senator George F. Edmunds.
1t is subject of general interest, pos
sessing great Importance in its bearing
upon our political system, and its con-
sideration must always be timely. 1t
has recently received good deal of at
tention as one of the matters suggested
tional government, and the cOntribu-
tion to its consideration by so emf
nent statesman as Senator Ed
munds can not be but instructive,
interesting and valuable. The treat
ment of this subject by the senator
is consplcuously free from any partlsan
coloriag. He considers it as citizen
who fully realizes the evils and dangers
of corrupt political methods, and the
urgent necessity there is for providing
a remedy. He frankly admits the prac-
tice of corrupt methods by the political
parties, charging no more to one than
to the other, but while the fact is an
unpleasant one he does not share the
hopelessness of the pessimists who see
nothing but encouragement in the out
look, but on the contrary evinces pa
triotic faith in the ability of the people
to remedy the evil. Referring to the
generally well-known methods of politi-
cal corruption, he remarks that "how-
ever depressing these things are to
really OF the people and for the people,
they are only the endless repetitions Of
history, and they should not produce
discouragement, but should rouse the
great body of citizens, to whatever
party they may belong, to a more
earnest study of the causes that lie ad to
such events, and more earnest and per-
sistcnt efforts to eradicate them"
The intensity of party feeling which
tempts citizens to resort to practices
that they would consider dishonorable
and criminal as between man and man
in order to overthrow the party enemy
and to win what they consider to be a
desirable party success, and the exist
ence of class that is not embarrassed
with the possession of any particular
principles and looks to what is tobe made
for itself, are the principal causes OF
corrupt political methods. "The mer-
cenary greed of Office, the corruption
of the electors, and the Justification of
returns are very closely allied. The
first is very likely to produce the
Others" But Senator Edmunds sees in
the progress that has been made in the
improvement Of the civil service fair

In a case just tried in the Madison

In case just tried in the Madison
county, Iowa, district court growing out
of the notorious Bohemian oat swindle,
the Judge decided in favor of the inno-
cent purchaser and present holder of
the farmers notes. 1t was shown that
the plaintiff had bought the notes be-
fore maturity. The defense set up the
claim that the notes represented a gam
bling contract and as such were void.
The court, however, held that the notes
were given in consideration OF a bond
executed and delivered to the maker of
the note and as such were not gambling
contracts within the meaning of the
statutes. While the original transac-
tion was denounced as fraudulent and
as such the notes between the original
parties might have baen void, it would
have been contrary to precedent and
the rules Of commercial law for the
court to have prevented the collection
of the notes after having passed into the
hands Of an Innocent purchaser before
maturity. The Bohemian oat swindle
is very slick game and under various
devices is likely to be sprung upon
farmers by smooth-dealing rascals. The
only safe rule is for farmers to be eau
tious in binding themselves to contracts.

THE decision of the board of public
works to deny permits for more than
two tracks on a street, and that such
tracks shall occupy the center, will
commend itself to the people. There is
no justification for giving monopoly
OF the streets to corporations. The peo-
pie have some rights which are entitled
to respect, ana one is the right to use a
portion OF the street without endanger-
Ing life and limb on n wilderness of
tracks. We do not want repetition of
