prospective enactment a bill designed to regulate the construction of build ings in its cities and towns. to the end that they may be more nearly fireproof and that legislation throughout the country. having this end in view. shall be uniform. This bill has been drafted for the International Society of MG- nicipal Building Commissioners by its executive officer, Architect F. W Fitzpatrick. of Washington. D. C.. than whom no man knows more about building nor is better qualified to de- fine the regulations that should hedge it about to make it substantial ana safe
 The society calls attention to the fact that even in such years of great abundance as this. when building is at high tide. we permit fire to destroy more than half in value of the new construction done. It points out that not only do we as nation build so flimsily as to literally encourage, aid and abet fire. as it were. but that we even tolerate systems of construction so imperfect that buildings actually collapse while still in process of cree ton. witness the frequent and fatal collapses of reinforced concrete struc- lures all over the country,
 Reverting to fire again the society's records show that\ the destruction wrought by that element in this coun- try equals a tax of $2.50 for every man. woman and child of our population, while in all of Europe the same tax averages but thirty-two cents per capita. It would certainly seem timely that some concerted action be taken by the state governments to lessen this appalling waste of the cOuntry's re- sources.

1T is only necessary to ask ''why ex-
tend to Mr.. Jones an indefinite prolon-
cation In office" Is it on the theory
that he is our most available man?
Who can vouch for this? Is it on the
theory that he deserves the Office on
his past record? BY this token are the
records of our ambitious and deserving
men to be for ali time n sealed book?
Is this fair? Is it on the theory that a
change of men may be a mistake? If
so the mistake is not without its rem
edy. General Washington refused a
longer term Of Office, and upon such
grounds as-to exhalt him above the
memory of every man that has done
his part to make this great land of ours.
He believed that there were others as
capable as he, and as deserving of the
confidence and patronage of the Amer
can people. AS we go along, strange
contrasts are found in men. Ambition
that comes to us not marred by the
ear-marks of selfishness is acceptable
to us all. The assertion of Mr.. Jones
as to what he has done for the dear
people" cannot be objected to; but be-
cause he is virtuous, are all the s'cakes
and ale" to be spread upon his already
abundant table? In all candor we pro-
test against the Barmecide feast that
he invitest us to attend. Hereafter let
him enjoy his honest bread, that others
may seek what he already has-an am
bition reasonably gratified and means
wherewith to ease his declining years.
Let us have fair deal. Keep your
eye on General Washington, Mr.. Jones
he would have no crown. There are
men in this State who could wear your
wreath without disgrace to themselves,
or without prejudice to the interests of
our mother land

The old Burg is having few
warm times. There is council cleo
ton on, and things always warm up
on the upper Rsppahannock at such
times. To some the contending fac
tions are known as Con servatiyes and
Good Government League, while the
former brand the latter as yellow
Dogs" aud the latter retaliate by
clubbing the opposition as "Grey
Wolves" And the ball goes merrily
on. When it is over they kiss and
MAKE mp, as good children should.
Incidentally the beauties (?) of the
primary farce bob up. Fredericks-
burg holds the Council election on
June 18th, the Congressional pri-
mary June 10th and the general
election in November. Pity they
hadn't added primary for nominal
ing the "Yellow Dogs" aud "Grey
Wolves" Possibly the quartette of
elections Can be filled out by local
option contest. Something doing in
elections, notwithstanding the new
Constitution sought to reduce the
number.

passed the house. 1t does not go into
effect until January /, 1907.
The Senate Committee on Expositions
voted Tuesday to report unanimously
the bill introduced by Senator Daniel to
appropriate 81, 4S0, 600 to the James

as that introduced in the House by Mr..
Maynard, which has been favorably,
although not unanimously, reported
from the Committee on Industrial Arts
and Expositions, and which the Speaker
refuses to allow to be considered.
After seventy days of elaboration
the Senate passed the railroad rate
bill by vote of II to 8. The three
negative votes were cast by Foraker.

Alabama. Fifty-eight speeches were
made during the consideration of the
act and La Toilette took three day to
tell what he knew about it, Daniel two
days and many others spoke for a dav.

them and compel them to give the pub

that the meat inspection bill must he

is that Mr.. Mears has not spoken for

what his county paper says about it,
1T is not the fault of Mr.. Mears
that The Journal doesn't know he has

beck and call of his party from his
youth up; let us add, that he made
political speeches on the Eastern Shore

democratic voters through rain over the
muddy roads of a negro district to the
polls IN his county, while so far as the
record shows, his distinguished oppo-
nent may have been toasting his feet at
some friendly fireside, or delivering one
of his all-sufficient speeches in a cosy
hall. Mr.. Mears has seen every phase
OF legitimate party service, from ex-
hortation to transportation, as the fore
gong facts disclose. His opponents

Mr.. JONES friends say they will
have the laugh on our Westmoreland
Contemporary over it's predictions as
between Mears and Jones. We wager
it will not be SO great as the turned
laugh on our Middlesex con tenn porary
which says it has not heard of a
Mears man in that county. AS far
away as we are we have heard of at
least % such in Middlesex. Don't
think, friend Ryland. that the Mears
people are going to chase you up and
tell you whom they are for. Not much;
and that silent vote throughout this
whole section is ominous and We think
conditions have pretty thoroughly
scared up our 16-year Congressman.
