OF Course the Law win BE Enforced

III GOUTSc inc Law VIII he Enforced.
1t is so obviously the duty of the Board
Of District Commissioners 20 honestly
enforce the law touching the licensing Of
employment agencies that comment on the
subject, in the very nature Of things.
would seem to be superfuous The
Washington Herald does not for a moment
family suspect that the Commissioners
are going to be remiss in the slightest de-
gree Ugly charges are pending against
some of the applicants for licenses. Re-
spOnsible people stand sponsor for these
charges. II the evidence be found suffi-
cient, if the applicants cannot vindicate
themselves beyond the shadow Of doubt,
licenses should. as Of course they will, be
percmptorily denied.
To suggest that the Commissioners
may shirk their plain duty, under the
law, or that any self-r specting Wash
ingtonian will fail heartily 70 support
them in doing that duty, is so preposter-
Gus that this newspaper offers an apology,
alons with its editorial remarks, for even
referring to such a suggestion. Certainly.
there is no necessity for pressure from
press or public in the matter Of these
employment agencies. The bad among
them must go.

The Trouble with Harrison.

From the Saturday Evening Post
The late Senator NJ. s Quay Of Penn
sylvania. was bitterly opposed to the re-
nomination of President Harrison. Quay
maintained that Harrison could not be re-
elected. and the result showed the cor
rcctness Of the judgment
During the convention at Minneapolis,
when Quay was trying to name anybody
but Harrison. one of HarriSOn's friends
went to Quay and said:
senator, why is it you dislike President
Harrison so thoroughly"
Well" Quay replied, "one reason is
this: Harrison never does exactly what
you want him TO do. lie always puts some
embarrassing trimmings on Should you
ask him to lend you five dollars, ne
would not do that Instead. he would
hand you $75 or So"

was filled with wheat, oats, barley
, and flax which burned fercely for
several days after the fire. The In
surance on the building and contents
was something over n million dollars.
The concrete apnexes which stood
near the elevator, holding almost
three million bushels of grain were
not damaged to much extent from
outside appearances but some fear il
entertained for the wheat in couple
Of the bins on account of the intense
heat from the fire. The engine room
which was one Of the best at tho head

that saved the Alger Smith saw mill,
