70 Be Big Building.

~ ~ LAB -ASSeAASAeA9s
Some idea Of its size is given by the
following frontage: On B street, 746
feet; on New Jersey avenue, 470 feet;
on First street, 452 feet, and on G
street. 348 feet, making a total frontage
Of LAO feet, or approximately one
third Of a mile. /, No..
The building will contain 40 rooms
for members, together with a multi
plicity of caucus rooms, audience rooms,
postof6ce. restaurant and other features
Of a modern office building In any Of
our large cities.
The long, unbroken cornice lines Of
the office building leading up naturally
to the capitol building, and from thence
to the great dome, the dominating unit
in the group Of buildings now on Oapi-
tol plaza, are calculated by it's de-
signers to conduce to the desired effect
Of making the capitol building more
imposing and effective.

Wild Preachers Dangerous.

WIN 11edCnoIb dangerous.
Son the other hand, the wild preach
ers of unrest and discomfort, the wild
agitators against the, entire existing
order, the men who act crookedly,
whether because Of sinister design or
from mere uzzle-headedness, the men
who preach destruction without propos-
ing any substitute for what they intend
to destroy. or who propose a substitute
which would be far worse than the ex-
listing evils-an these men are the most
dangerous opponents Of real reform.
It they get their way they will
lead the people into a deeper pit than
any into which they could fall under
the present system. If they fail to get
their way they will still do incalculable
harm by provoking the kind of reaction,
which in its revolt against the sense
less evil of their teaching, would en-
throne more securely than ever the very
evils which their misguided followers
believe they are attacking.
More important than aught else is
the development Of the broadcast sym
patty Of man for man. The welfare Of
the wageworkers the welfare Of the till
err of the soil, upon these depend the
welfare Of the. entire country; their
good is not to be sought in pulling down

BERLIN. June 2.-The war party"

the Fatherland into that proud position
the fleet must be elevated TO a standard
equal to that OF the German army,
which they say is the finest in the world
This would bring Germany into con-
fict with England, who will tolerate
no attempt TO depose her navy from the

ciple.

tions to Governor YsabeI Of Sonora and
TO the military commander for that dis
trict to preserve order at all hazards.

of Americans and 10 bring the ring
leaders to prompt punishment.
In government circles there is a dis
position to minimize the troubles. and II
is claimed they have probably been
greatly exaggerated There Is a suffi-
cient force Of Rurales and regular troops
within reach of the scene Of disturbance
to suppress II unless II should develop
that this is the beginning OF an organ
lied revolutionary movement, which is
not improbable. That the government
regards this as a possible case is evil
denced by the fact that steps have been
taken to heavily re-enforce the military
commander in Sonora II it should be
necessary
Some surprise is expressed at the state
ment that Governor YsabeI has given
permission for armed Americans to cross
over into Mexican territory. 1t is
thought there must be a mistake about
this or that the situation is much more
serious than IS now believed
Further news Is awaited with keen
anxiety.

The work OF the credentials committee
was completed yesterday morning. when
reports on several or the contested coun-
ties were submitted. 1t became evident
as the fight continued that Patterson's s
strength was gaining, and at O'Clock
last night 1t was apparent that Cox was
defeated
Patterson's was the only name sub

FOR. He was nominated on a viva voce

The platform adopted claims for the
Democratic party credit for railroad rate
