Church for Sixty-five Years.

Rev. Milton Mahin formerly of
Richmond left his home at New Gas
tie yesterday for Alexandria, where he
will attend the annual session of the
North Indiana Conference. Rev Ma

known throughout the conference and
his wide acquaintance makes hin very
familiar with all of the happenings

1t being generally admitted by all

TO nhe rate of fares charged within
the bounds OF Wayne county on regu-
lar cars, thoAaS is violating the fran
chise when it chaSges extra fare for
the limited service, there is promise
of getting together on this differ
cree And settling the question am
icabfy.
Though it is asserted that the board
of Wayne county commissioners
would have cause for just complaint
against the traction company there
the matter of extra fare for extra
service is Investigated.
The franchise at the time it was
drafted and granted contained moth
ing relative to extra fare service for
at that time there was no thought of
limiter cars. Either the traction COM
pany will ask for an amendment to
it's franchise or else the limited SER
vice between Richmond and Indiana
polls Will be abandoned.
In Ohio some of the traction lines
are running limited cars many
times a day but are not charging ex-
ira fare. This method may finally be
adopted in Indiana. If this were to
result the companies could charge the
regular fare on limited cars but
could arrange one compartment in
which seats could be sold for the trip.
Up to this time there has been no
formal complaint lodged with the
county commissioners against the In
dianapolis and Eastern company and
until this IS done there may be no
formal action taken.

Unreasonable Hesitation

Time is passing and the end of this ses
sion OF Congress is drawing near Present
estimates place the date OF adjournment at
June 10. month hence. In these last
weeks OF the session there viii be increasing
hustle and the pressure on the time of the
houses will grow greater steadily II will
become more and more difficult TO secure
the passage OF measures which are not
blessed with unanimous consent
1t therefore behooves those members of
the two houses who earnestly want to Sc
cure change In the date Of Inauguration
to move actively at the earliest opportunity
10 bring into the chambers the joint reso-
luton now pending before the two commit
tees on the Judiciary.
There Is virtually no serious opposition to
this resolution. 1t Is recognized as q neces-
sity. and there Is no question as to its ulti-
mate adoption in one form or another. The
only hitch In the proceedings results from
the desire Of certain members of the House

Fire Escapes and Common Sense.

The appeal for modification Of the fire
escape law recently passed by Congress
must be made directly to that body by the
citizens who believe its provisions to be
too drastic. A movement to that effect has
been started by the Board OF Trade and
success should attend the effort. The bill
submitted by the Commissioners to Con-
gress to amend the existing law was
so framed as to exempt from the dishgure-
ment of fire escapes those buildings which
were of sufficiently f1reproof construction
to warrant the belief that life in them
would be preserved without the use Of ex-
ternal ladders. There are many such
buildings IN Washington in which life
would not be rendered In any degree more
secure by the plastering of the outer walls
with iron steps. The Commissioners are
competent to judge as to the qualities of
structures in this respect and 1t would
be entirely safe for Congress to amend the
law so as to give them discretion In the
premises. But having asked themselves
for that range OF authority. and having
been denied 1t by the formal action of the
houses. doubtless through misunderstood
ing of the case, 1t is now impossible for
them to return to the Capitol with an in
itiatory recommendation that the existing
statute be amended.
Washington wants and should be given
the safest possible building construction
and the most reliable devices for saving
life in case of fire. But there Is such a
thing as excessive precaution. The pres
ent tendency of the business construction
in this city Is toward artistic designs, and
the evolution Of commercial Washington
which will compare favorably with all
other cities If the property owners are
forced not only to observe a rigid standard
OF fire resistance in their constructions, but
also to disfgure the walls with ladders
there viii be marked falling off In the
desire to contribute to the capitals at
Effectiveness. despite the willingness of the
Commissioners to give owners liberal lat
itude in the designing Of the fire escapes
themselves. Two prime considerations
were named by the Commissioners in their
bill for exemption of certain structures from
the fire-escape requirement. the employ
ment of fire-resisting materials throughout
the building and the separation of stair
ways. Where a structure is highly infiam-
mable, being built with wooden Orders and
lacking wall stiffness or is used for manu-
featuring purposes and is filled with ma
terials for hot fire, outside escapes are
doubtless necessary in all cases And even
fire-resisting construction that Is equipped
with only single stairway. or with two
close together, Is to be regarded with doubt
and. for the sake of certainty, given outer
means of escape.
Common sense applies to both sides of
this equation. and the demand of common
sense in the present instance is for a tu-
dicious compromise between useless and
wisely liberal precaution.

urgently needed to permit clement date
for inducting the President into ONCE.
1t Is unfortunate that there should be any
disposition to halt u resolution to which
there is no objection in order to continue
the consideration Of the perennial problem
of the Immediate assembiage Of Congress
The former Is extremely simple and the lat
ter extremely ddfiicult Some say that 1t
Is impossible. All agree that 1t win pre-
cipitate prolonged debate. II the judiciary
committees are DESTROYS Of meeting the
wishes of the country on the Inauguration
date question II Is their plain duty to send
the resolution before the houses and give
the representatives and senator's chance
to vote upon 1t. so as to pass 1t along, II
adopted. to the Legislatures OF the states.
One argument brought against action on
this resolution Is that It will encourage the
Constitution amenders to bring forward a
cloud of schemes for changing the fundae
mental law. This is a poor excuse for In
action. II measure Is righteous and nee
essary 1t should be passed regardless OF
possible endorsements resulting from i'm
itators. Congress has never been without
great grist of propositions to amend the
Constitution, and 1t never will be lacking in
this respect. Every session brings out bat
talions Of those who want to make over
the entire system of government. 1t Is
not difficult to dispose of the impossible
propositions by pigeon-holing them. and
there need be no fear of wasting time in
considering the halfway meritorious prof.
ects
Had the early Constitution members hesi-
tated over their task the instrument would
have been handed down in an imperfect
shape. The members of the judiciary COM
mittees should make a virtue out of their
reliance upon their superior Judgment of
Congresses still to come and present this
measure as an urgently needed reform, re-
gardless of the possible effect 1t may have
upon the tinkering tendencies of members

suggestion has been made to increase the
handicap in the highest grade OF play by
calling for more than a single cushion

claimed that the strain of scoring 500

An Old Game in Tennessee.

A Mr.. Wright OF Tennessee was until
a few days ago a candidate for the republi-
can nomination for governor. As he was
not a man of much prominence it was
necessary for the democratic newspapers
to look him up" and be ready for him
in case his party intrusted its banner to
his hands. The comment of some of them
showed that they were performing this
service thoroughly. and felt that they would
be able to take care of him In a partisan
way II the time came.
After an inspection OF the situation, Mr.
Wright found out that republican sentiment
In the state favored H. Clay Evans; and
SO he withdrew from the race. Instantly
Els stock goes up in democratic circles
He discovers that he is an excellent man
Tar TOO good for his party-and had he
been nominated and elected would have
made an acceptable governor. Pity that SO
good a man should train with men SO In
capable OF appreciating his worth!
But will his followers ACCEPT matters az
phIlosophically as Mr.. Wright has done ?
The democratic newspapers are inclined to
doubt II. 1t is suggested that the Wright
men will resent the way In which their IA
vorite has been treated by the Evans crowd
and either stay away from the polls. or go
there and soak Mr.. Evans by voting for
his democratic opponent
This is an old game, transparent and
rather silly. but both parties continue to
play ii. If Mr.. Wright's followers are the
sort OF men thus described 1t is small won
der that he retired from the race Thev
canuot be numerous Unless a man is very
rudely and dishonesty treated in a contest
for nomination he and his supporters take
defeat with fair grace They must, In order
to preserve their standing in their party.
In this case 1t does not appear that the
Evans people did anything but show I'D in
overwhelming numbers. Their fayorite is
the ablest republican in the state. and GER
tainly the most widely known. Why should
not the Wright men support him?

politics may in some measure figure the
