BUILDING LAW CHANGES.

When the suggestion was made several months ago
that alterations in the building laws should be made
it attracted only lukewarm interest in quarters
and feeble protests in others. That the regulations
were inadequate and the penalties unenforceable was
clear. But closer investigation showed de-
icencies and indicated the necessity for better and
more ample provisions.
A revised set of building laws has now been pre-
pared by Mr. Charles F. Longfellow. former Commits
soner of Public Buildings, and committee of the st.
Louis Chapter of the American Institute of Architects
The bill will be introduced in the City Council by Mr.
Gibson to whom 1t has been rendered by the authors
In the main the new provisions are far more salts
factory than those in effect. They might be en-
larged to advantage but they complete enough
for most practical purposes and should receive the
sanction of the Municipal Assembly. Further i'm
provements may be made from time to time; for the
present the architects may be content considering
pected opposition from interested sources
The existing building laws entirely useless.
The provisions cannot be enforced. They be vio-
lated with impunity for the that the penalty
section is Illegal The Charter establishes the maxi
mum fine for misdemeanor at $500, while the maxi
fine prescribed in the building law is 81 600. The
bill seeks to overcome this fault by making the mini
mum fine S. and the maximum $500.
Mr.. Longfellow made repeated efforts to have this
change made, as it is necessary than other
provisions but certain members of the last House OF
Delegates. moved by the petitions of friends who de-
sired more eniency in the fre-protecton sections,
ceeded in frustrating his efforts. The Council how
ever passed several corrective bills, which de-
feated or buried in the House.
Among improvements contained in the new bill one
of the most important is that which provides for
tension of the fire limits, to include the district
lying Immediately south of Forest Park and the north
western district beyond Easton avenue. ST. Louis is
growing rapidly and necessity exists for expanding
the prohibition against frame structures.
Other excellent features To dispense with the
drop gangway at the bottom of fire escape to give
the Commissioner of Public Buildings power
and latitude in condemning unsafe buildings and in
enforcing his decision; to divide buildings in four
classes to prevent gas leakage in buildings and to
qure ventilation for the free escape of gas to compel
the erection of bboards at least four feet above the
ground. and to require that all basement salesrooms
and worllrooms have direct exits to the street.
All of these provisions, well many others,
tend toward conservatism and public safety. The
building laws out of date, inefficient and unen-
forceable. The main points Of this bill excel
lent If the Assembly should do nothing else it should
at least amend the penalty clause and make it har
monze with the Charter. But 1t should do more 1t
should accept the principal provisions Of the BILL

PAYNE AND THE CAMPAIGN.

Payne is mentioned as leader Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
campaign In all probability the management will be
retained by Hanna, but in any event Payne will be
chief mentor for Mr. Roosevelt that much Is certain
Paynes time and attention will be given to steering
his chiefs candidacy, and this in spite of the fact
that the Post-Ofice Department needs man at its
head and that for the next two years the nations in
intimately connected with department
affairs than with the ambitions and designs of the
ecutive politician
For two terms the Post-Ofice Department has been
virtually left to itself, while Smith and Payne
played politics The latter received his appointment
not in the interests Of public service but in the inter-
ests of Mr.. Roosevelt Payne was chosen solely be-
cause of his abilities fixer. For three years the
departments welfare will have been sacrificed in order
to secure to Mr. Roosevelt proficient campaign
worker.
Payne evidently considers his official services Of no
great moment; he feels under no obligations to the
people: his services in the meantime count for nothing
these things he has demonstrated. He is under obi
cations to Mr.. Roosevelt only and he will discharge it
by performances, not as Postmaster General, but as
practical politician and wire puller.

WINEROOMS.

Excise Commissioner Seberts effort to enforce
the law against wnerooms and disorderly saloons
should be sustained OF the two the wineroom is the
worse The disorderly saloon is too often the scene
Of collisions but at that it is better than the
wneroom for in the latter, which is conducted more
or less quietly young men and women are started on
the wrong road. The life Of frequenter OF disor-
derby saloon be spared in preference to the char
acter and prospects Of young man or a young
woman.
The fight against the w1nerooms and disorderly sa-
looms does reach retail liquor establishments which
are conducted in accordance with law. The war is
against abuses, excuses and temptations to the
young; not against the license permitted by law.
Two extremes represented by the wnerooms and
dsorderly saloons The latter boisterous and pos
sess known character. He who enters knows the risk
and is not unwilling to take the consequences. dis
orderly place ends its with violence of some
kind. The winerooms quiet and give no outward
warning They are destructive public and private
morals. and are the more destructive owing to the
semblance Of order
The wineroom question is one that concerns every
who has regard for decency and care for the pro-
lection of womanhood 1t is a pernicous institution
which should be totally annihilated. There is abso
luely no excuse for its existence The law is clear
and evidence cannot be hard to secure.

connecting smaller cities and towns along the route,
may yet be the naturalization Of project in which

Judge Foster was very favorably i'm

fleets great credit upon the State Ali OF
the boys are placed upon their honor.
There are no walls. bars or anything else to
prevent the boys from escaping.
Very seldom boy tries 10 run away, and
when one does it Is almost always new

Colonel Drake the superintendent, takes
a great interest in all of them Every
When they leave the school they are very
different as TO their manners and char

The boys rise every morning before 9
o'clock. During the school months their
studies take UP most of the morning In
the. afternoon they work at the different
trades. Each boy Is set at the trade to
which he is best adapted II IL is found
that one trade does not suit a boy, ne IL

The school has u regular military or
gar Ization, formed Of six companies. Reg
ular drills are held and the boys become
very proficient in military tactics.
One whom Judge Foster noticed espe-

was recently sent there.
He was said to be one Of the toughest
boys of his age of any one in St. Louis.
He is doing fine at the school. Judge FoS-
ter says he was much different boy now.
Judge Foster thinks it one of the best
managed institutions of the State. Being

This virtue is found in the fact that last year
cessions absolutely and ne1orably refused to
takers, to schemes of amusement and to saloons No
liquor was allowed the grounds, and intoxicated
and disorderly persons were promptly elected. The
interest Of the fair lay in its exhibits, which every
visitor had ample opportunity to study without having
his attention attracted by fakery schemes. Dinner
