The Trouble One Little Word Caused.

Here is the governor Of the state calling
the twenty-one senators and sixty assem-
bIymen from all the counties OF the state
by proclamation. says the Newark Adver-
tiser, to assemble In special session at the
state capitol. because young woman en-
ployed to typewrite a bill was careless
about transcribing one little word. and was
doubtless letting her thoughts wander Off
TO beaux or furbelows. when she should
have been closely scanning her copy That
moment of feminine alteration will cost

the mountains Of Warren and Sussex. the
sands OF ocean, Atlantic and Cape May.
the plains OF Central New Jersey and teeT-
ing cities of East Jersey. Probably, but
let US hope not, it will cause some legisla-
tive profanity, and inspire some irrever-
ent remarks about the new woman
There will be some expense to the state,
too and there is also the perturbation lest
the legislature may do something not set
down in the gubernatorial programme. All
this is made possible by one little woman
and one little word In wrong conjunction.
But then she was in hurry and she got
nervous. and that's excuse enough for q
girl not out of her teens.

Government Architecture.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Apropos OF the intention of having the
designs of the Government buildings made
by the architects of the country instead
of the supervising architect, as at present,
and that at the instance OF the American
Institute OF Architects, singular fact
is dis losed
An OF the supervising architects or the
Treasury (wi.n one exception) have been
and are members of the AmericanInstitute
The designs that emanated from the office
during their incumbency were dieta ted
and approved by them.
The other members of the institute hay
ing astrongdesire TO gethold o ofGovernment
work themselves, have raised the hue
and cry against their brothers and called
their works "monstrosities" They seem
to except none. Anything and everything
that emanates from the office is bad in
their eyes. Most OF those who have filled
the effice are practicing architects today,
and tits verymuch doubted if the American
Institute would, as an organization, call
the buildings that they erect ''monstrosi-
ties"
Tho question presents itself: II it is
possible for members of the American
Institute OF Architects TO turn out such
horrible designs as they have in the past,
should any of them be allowed to have
any say in the future in regard to the
designs. 1t is rather suspected that the
attack on the quality Of the desigrs that
have been made is occasioned more by
desire to get the work themselves.
