poses. In many ways It would seem TO
be an admirable material for the pur-
pose, and IL the important element OF
cost can be adjusted Il may well fig
ure largely among the building mate
rails OF the future.
The accompanying plans call for the
erection OF house OF material that has
been SO seldom used that 1t Will seem
o positive novelty to most people, and
yet 1t has been used in several cases
and invariably with excellent results.
This material Is cement, but not in the
form OF mere stucco. Doubtless one
reason why cement has not been. widely
used has been Its great cost This Is
no longer an objection, us the cost has
been reduced to an almost undreamed
OF price. With cement at considerable
less than dollar n barrel, 1t can be
seen that cost Is not the one great fac
tor.
It goes without saying that cement
can not be adapted to every plan. The
method OF construction Is extremely
simple. 4 case OF boards OF double
thickness and a certain height separa-
ted by the desired thickness OF the walls
OF the house Is built and into this is
poured the cement and and grouting
OF broken stone. As soon as this has
hardened the boards are removed and,
higher course IS built, until the entire
house is thus constructed. The OPEN
lnss for doors and windows and for the
ilues are, OF course. left during the pro-
cess of erection. 1t might perhaps be
thought that such a house would be
damp But on the contrary, expert
cnce has shown that II Is dry and
healthy. It has a few slight disadvan-
tagcs over houses built in the ordinary
way. but these are more than Offset by
many positive advantages In the first
place, the house Is absolutely fircproof,
as far az the out walls are concerned.

To Change Inauguration D.y.

The bill now before the senate, intro
duced by Senator Hoar. OF Massachu-
sesis, providing for the submission TO
the states OF an amendment, to the con-
stttutlon, TO change the date. OF the be-
ginning OF presidential and congress
sional terms, Is being favorably COM
mented on throughout the country. and
1t will doubtless pass, for the PROPOSE
tion. commends itself 10 the best Judg-
ment OF the public. Mr.. Hoar's bill
changes Inauguration day from the 18th
OF March TO the last Wednesday in
April.
The Intelligencer recently pointed out
the desirabillty for the change which
has been agi,ated a number OF years.
1t spoke OF the fact that. since It is GUS
tomary for citizens OF all parts OF the
country 10 attend the Inauguration OF a
new President, and that IL Is also time
honored custom 10 make It an occasion
OF great parade. or at least a great
gathering OF people intent upon enjoy
ment. the weather. as n rule. is not salu-
brious enough for such a purpose on the
4th OF March. A cold. stormy day, when
such mighty crowds assemble, is not
only disagreeable but unhealthful, and
IL Is known fact that under such cir
cumstances these great popular demon
STATIONS are followed by many deaths
from pneumonia.
This occasion, on which so many thou
sands of the citizens OF the republic take
the opportunity to visit the national
capital, should come at a time when
that beautiful city, the pride of the
who'f nation. is in its most attractive
gard) At no time Is 1t more beautiful
than In the last week in April and
Throughout the month of May. II is
then that the parks and public squares
and The grounds about the government
buildings are veritable beds OF flowea
in frameworks az living green, and that
the freshness OF the shade trees on the
streets bids welcome to the visitor. At
no time would there be greater pleasure
for the people who gather from the states
10 see their national city in all It's
beauty. and to-honor the new chief .ex-
ecutIve.
The object OF Senator Hoar in fixing
the day on the last Wednesday in April
is 10 avoid the confusion and inconveni-
ence OF having Il fall on Sunday, as is
often the case under the present. plan.
We do not see how any one could reason
ably oppose plan, of which so much
that is favorable can be said. In the
event OF the adoption of the amendment,
the term OF President Mckinley and the
members OF Congress holding office on
the 9Th OF March. 1901. would simply be
prolonged about two months, and after
rha. sailing would be as smooth as It
now is, with the advantage of reason
able assurance that Inauguration day
would come in good weather, and when
Visit TO the capital is accompanied by
the most pleasant experiences.

WHEELING, MARCH 20, 1903.


A brave and patriotic nation is always
Just and honorable nation. It is we'll
TO talk about the honor OF the country,
and TO engage in war when the honor OF
the country is threatened and would be
sacrificed without war. It is well also
TO face such an emergency with cool
head, and an appreciation OF the respon-
sibllity that Is being assumed. This Is
the curse that the President is pursu-
Ing, and he has the support OF, the wisest
and best men OF the country and the
vast majority OF the people. He has
said thatshe would do everything consist
cnt with the honor and dignity OF the
country to avert war, and that Il war Is
necessary It will come without dIshonor.
This Is what all DESIRE II he can Sc
cure Cuban independence and restore
peace and prosperity to the starving
people of Cuba without bloodshed he
will do so. II armed force is made nee.
essary by Spain he will not be found
wanting.
Confidence In the Presidents courage
to act consclenciously, firmly. and In
the Interest OF humanity pervades the
whole country. Il exists among the
leaders OF all sides in Congress. All feel
that he will not waver hairs breadth,
nor swcrve from his purpose. Those
who charge that political considerations
are, governing him should be in better.
business. They are demasogues. who
would be the last the people would trust
to handle so grave a crisis in the ma
toms affairs.
President Mckinley. ne again remark,
viii not fall short OF his duty: nor will
he permit sensational newspapers and
political demagogues to dictate his poll
cy. The whole matter IS with the Presi-
dent and with Congress and both realize
their responsibility, even the hot-heads
in the national legislature having ar
rived at the point where they appreciate
all the responsibilities involved.
Inc next Few days VIII develop what
the future will oe. and those who are
close observers OF the trend of events are
confident that there will be no duty to
national honor, humanity and civilIza-
lion left undone. Let patience and
patriotism and wisdom rule. and pas
sionate prejudice and jingoism be re-
strained. Whether the outcome be war
or peace, let the main purpose be accom-
ilshed in the name Of civilization, JUS
lice and, honor, and without the VIOLA
ton OF International usages.
