GOVERNMENT BUILDINGs

Secretary Carlisle is not wise in de-
nouDcing the attempt of the American
Association of Architects to have all
government work open to general COM
petition. He charges the association
with desire to control the government
action, overlooking the fact that the
government in this matter is already in
the power of ring. ana very I'M
scrupulous ring of incompetent men at
that.
The office of supervising architect Of
the treasury is what is sometimes called
by the slangy "a soft snap" The de.
signs of all government buildings are
prepared there, and all contracts for
construction are awarded by the head
of that bureau, subject, of course, to
the approval of the secretary of the
treasury. The secretary, however,
knows nothing of the manner in which
the awards are made, and. as he knows
practically nothing about architecture,
he accepts unquestioned the plans and
contracts approved by the supervising
architect. The result is notorious. The
government buildings throughout the
country are, as rule, architectural
S-hideouS to an artistic eve.
Their cost is far beyond the necessities
Of the labor market, and their construc-
ton is faulty. Take, for instance the
Chicago building. 1t was nearly three
years in process of construction, and
cost nearly S3,000,000. 1t is located on
one Of the best blocks OF ground in the
business center. There is nothing artis-
tic in its appearance. there have never
been any cOnveLiences for the transac-
lion of public business; its apartments
are dark. dank and unwholesome. Four
OF five years ago it commenced crum-
bling to pieces. Great assures appeared
in the walls; the floors began to sink.
the ceilings to fall. Several times the
business of the courts was interrupted
by the falling of large section of
plaster from the ceilings, and finally,
some six months ago, the judges re-
fused any longer to hold court within its
walls, aud removed temporarily to Mil
waukee. Other officials, fearing for
their lives, are trying to leave the struc-
ture, and 1t is only question of two or
three years when it will become a
shapeless ruin. In other cities the same
ground of complaint exists. There is

Mr.. Donnelly and the British.

To the Editor of the Globe.
notice in your issue of this
morning that the Hon. 1gnatius Don
nelly stated that she believes the "A.
L. A. is organized and prOpagated at
the instance of the British govern
ment."
Inc opinion of Ignatius Donnelly is
deserving of the greatest respect, but
he must be in this instance ignorant
CT the history or England for the last
nifty years il he thinks it possible that
any government in power during the
latter half of this century would dare TO
support or help any organization that
had for its object the abridgment of the
civil and religious liberty of any human
being. 1t appears true that it is pos
si0le that large section OF the Orange
men may approve of the principles Of
the A. P. A, but the Orangems n are
