LICENSED ARCHITECTs.

We believe that our friends, the archi-
tects, have occasionally ventilated the
idea that members Of the profession ought
TO have some sort OF credential to enable
them to practice their profession. The
American Institute OF Architects is
an organization which, we believe,
is designed partly TO furnish this
protection to the public, but as many
capable and reputable architects do
not join this association, it can
exercise only a negative supervision
over the qualifications of members of the
craft, so far as to guarantee the qualifca-
tions OF any firm of architects to the pub
lie The larger idea that we have at
times heard expressed is that architects,
like doctors under the new medical law,
dentists, pharmacists, and plumbers,
should be accredited by State, city or
town authority before being allowed to
practice their profession.
Over in New York this idea has been
revived by the horrible calamity OF the
collapse OF the Ireland building, the con-
struction of which, as far as IL had gone,
was seriously faulty because an incompe-
tent architect, or at least an architect
who took the Job so far below the rate
generally paid that he could not afford to
be competent in the performance OF his
work, neglected his proper business.
1t is now said that in New York the
better element among the architects be-
lieve earnestly that no man should be per-
mitted to build houses in the State OF
New York without q license from the
State OF New York to do so or from some
representative body delegated by the
State to confer such power ny
The architects OF New York city caused
to be introduced at the last session OF the
New York Legislature bill which con-
tanned provision for the licensing of all
architects after certificate OF capacity
| awarded by duly authorized examining
board. This bill was forcibly and sue
cessfully opposed by the builders and con-
tractors and died after a few fruitless
struggles
II appears, moreover, that the bill really
did not satisfy the architects, because
while it provided Tor the licensing of ar
chitects, there was nothing in Its Ian
| guage to prevent a man who was not an
architect at all from actually doing all
the work of an architect and deriving all
the emoluments therefrom. In other
words, there was nothing In the bill
which prevented q man from building
his own house IL he wished to DO SO, and
having 1t about his ears the next minute.
As the situation is now, the department
for the inspection of buildings in COM
munity is loaded with the responsibility
OF incapable architects and inefficient or
wilfully neglectful contractors. There
would undoubtedly be many difficulties in
the framing Of law to license architects,
even law that would suit the archi-
tets themselves.
We don't know as the public would take
kindly to such a measure of legislation.
But We confess to an appreciation of
the public interests that inspire the archi-
tects In their idea.

What would be thought Of man In private

make his income equal his expenses, talked
glibly Of incurring new obligations And yet
this Is precisely what the Administration Is
doing at the present moment. There Is no
attempt, serious at least 20 reduce expenses.
There is no effort made 20 look for new re-
sources of revenue But there Is the same
wild talk of "Inaintaning the credit" OF the
Government by renewed issues of bonds. How

There was once a donkey that
fed in grassy meadow wherein
were many fresb-watcr ponds
greatly infested by leeches.
When the donkey went into the
water to drink or to cool himself.
the leeches would fasten upon him
and greatly deplete the blood sup
ply.
At last the donkey resolved to
do something to get rid of the
leeches.
First he shook his long ears a.
them and said it was a shame
Next he got on a platform and
brayed at them. Then be went to
the ponds and kicked at them, but
all to no purpose; the leeches
stuck to him as tenaciously as
ever.
At last an idea came like a sud
den inspiration. Il have it, said
the donkey. "As can't prevent
the leeches from sucking my
blood, I'll regulate the business by
giving them a license to do it on
condition that they give me back a
small portion of the blood as IL
-cense fee" And so he did,-The
