NO rIRR-rRAP SCHOOL BUILD
 TNGs.

Na. The articles on the proposed schoo buildings in The Advertised yesterday attracted very general attention. Rev pr. Rice. in his sermon at the Court Street Methodist Church. took up the matter. and reiterated the demand fcl solid. safe houses.
 The people of Montgomery do not want any more Ainsy schoolhouses that burn up easily. They have had enough expe- rience of that sort. Two fires in the same building in three years. sutting it completely. are enough for any cornnu- nity. Fortunately, the fires took place at night, and nobody was hurt. But such good fortune does not justify further trifing with the fire fiend,
 From what The Advertiser can ascer- tain, this Council has not seriously look cd into the plans and specifications of these. three buIIdingp. The bids were ad- vertised for by the old Council. and that body awarded the con tract. The present Council has regarded it as a sort of duty to go it blind on their predecessors work.
 This Is q serious mistake. The build- ings cannot be put up without the au- thortty of this council. and this admin istration win be responsible for what ever Is done. It is this administration duty to see that the peoples money is well spent and to provide safe buildings.
 Mayor Carr expresses himself emphati- cally this morning as opposed to brick veneer buildings. He wants better. safer. moro permanent school houses. He be- lieves that the money can be provided for all these buildings. and he is willing to cooperate with the Council to that end. It is. therefore. .sup to- the Council to see that sso.ooo of the peoples money Is not put into fire-trap school houses. We believe that the Council will do it's duty when 1t realizes that public opinion will sustain It in recalling these con- tracts and in spending enough money to get frst-ciass buildings.

 Mayor Harrison is also candidate for National Committeeman. and if Mir. Bar rett avaids himself of the political re- sources of the shertff's office he probably will give the city executive a hard fight in Cook County, as this ofiice is regard ed the most formidable political weapon in the county if dexteriousIy used. Hearst managers assert that the mayors can didacy for National Committeeman Is a pretense on it's face The argument is made that if he Is able to control Cook County, as claimed, the National Com mitteeship would be rendered him on a silver charger without a contest of any sort. The Tenth Congressional District comprises the Twenty-fourth and Twen- ty-sixth Wards. parts of the Twenty third and Twenty-fifth Wards, in Chica- go, and the towns of Evanston. North field. Niles and New Trier. Sheriff Bar rett Is an avowed Hearst man and will he supported for delegate to the National Convention.
 Up to date there are few lines of eleav- age which warrant any conclusions as to Hearst strength in Cook County. Hearst managers, however. are claiming every Congressional district in the eoun- try. Unless the New Yorker controls the State Convention, however, he will not have delegate in the National Conven- tion from Illinois if the unit rule Is en- forced on the State delegation as here fofore

Hundreds Take the Cars for Pickett
 Springs.
 Hundreds of Montgomerians, eager to catch the first whiffs of spring air. vis- ited Pickett Springs Park yesterday af- ternoon.
 The traffic on the trolley cars was something tremendous. From as early as o'clock until nearly dark last night, the cars were crowded to the guards with persons desirous of breathing the re- freshing air. drinking the pure spring water and snatching few hours of rec reation among the shade trees. At least 2O00 Montgomerlans, old and young, women and children, visited the park while several hundred drove out in private equlpages. There was no special attraction at the Springs, but the breeze was refreshing. All along the car track could be seen small parties in the groves, enjoying the woodland. The afternoon was ideal for the trolley trips and the people appreciated 1t.
 The Traction Company will in a few weeks begin further Improvements on the park grounds and new amusement fea- lures will be inaugurated.
