Judqeship Was Purchased.

1T is matter of common notoriety and
history in this community that four years
ago the high and sacred office of judge of
this district was wreSted from the people
by the introduction of corrupt methods
and purchased votes. This must never
happen again. And, at least so far as this
particular office is concerned. 1 give no.

among individuals. how much more true

WOOD IN BUILDINGS.
A Forecast of the Day When 1t Shall Be
Totally Banished.

In all the comment on the decreasing
use OF wood in building, scarcely word
has been said about the effect on the
carpenter. Concrete, stone, brick and
steel are replacing the material that is
conveniently easy to cut and fatally
easy to burn, and while the general pop.
ulation Of the country increased by H.
100000 during the decade between 1890
and 1900, the number Of carpenters ae.
tually decreased, the figure standing at
6ls,OOO in 1890 and 100000 in 1900. Some
might think that in the face OF these
facts the carpenters would oppose the
growing use OF hreproof materials. We
are assured, however, that no such re.
sentiment is felt. Our carpenters and
builders" it says, are aeuatcd by pro.
gressiye and open minded spirit. And
further:
I'VE all look forward gladly to the
time Of better and more substantial
building. As far as the builders OF this
country are concerned, there was no need
of the Boston suburb horror TO impress
on them the desirability OF iireproof con-
struetion for all classes OF buildings. The
use Of tireproof material means unques-
tionably an Improvement in building
construction. The building trades arc
50 closely allied that improvement in
one line means improvement in all.
1--WE want to take the stand strongly
and uncquiyoeally that universal fire.
proohng does not sound the deathknell
Of carpentry We see no reason for the
carpenter tossbe dismayed 1T the present
change and tendency in building con-
strnction. The increasing use OF con-
crete and OF terra-cotta and OF steel
presents new problems to the carpenter,
but it does not eliminate him; far from
it. True it Is, there viii be less work
Tor the wood butcher, but more for
the skilled woodworker. The fine in
terror woodwork for a well-constrlcted
residence of cement and steel will UNI
questionably be more valuable 10 the
carpenter than the whole of a cheaply
built frame house. Ills work will be OF
finer grade, requiring greater skin,
and paying him bigger money than ever
before. As Tor the wood butcher, none
of us will regret to see him 60, nor
will we miss him when he's gone. But
we must all turn in and dig-to keep out
of that elassl Satisfaction with present
knowledge and skill viii not do. Con-
dition are changing; yet we feel sure
that carpentry is here to stay. Our
carpenters are the most progressive
workmen in the world; they stand ready
now TO do their share. and more, toward
better and more substantial building. =
