Even the ancient old town of New York is experiencing and yielding to the steady march of progress, as shown by the fact that the last horse cars have just been taken on. From some cause or other, after electric cars had become so general. the line on Fulton Street still continued to be run by horses until few days ago. when the animals were taken off, and we sup- pose electric cars will be put on.

 While -prohibitionists would make it appear that the defeat of Gov .ernor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in the enforcement of prohibition, we think the real cause is the desire of the peo- pie to rebuke the state administration for its war on invested capital.
 Governor Smith, like Governor Co., mer, of Alabama, has made a light on railroads and other corporations, with the result that the entire state has suffered. We believe that should Gov ernor Conner be a candidate for re. election at this time and the neopIe had the opportunity to vote for some able man like his erstwhils opponent, pr. R. M. Cunningham, the governor would go down in inglorious defeat like his brother governor in Georgia. The people want a return to safe and sound principles in the administration of the affairs of the state.

CURRENT PALAVER
OF THE POLITICIANS

The shadow OF the senatorial fight
of two years hence Is beginning 10
show in the governorship campaign.
This comes through the fact that Gov.
Fred NJ Warner, If elected to a third
term. will stand in very commanding
position with regard TO the senator
snip. He was the choice OF many leg
islators at the time of the last fight,
put was constitutionally barred from
going after the place. BY getting an
other terms, he would be able to Sc
cure such hold in the party as to
make any other candidate go some to
beat him. Warner lives in Farming
ton. just beyond the Wayne county
line, and his candidacy for senator
would therefore infringe on the as
piration of any Detroit man who
might be seeking the place. This fact
has led TO talk among the politicians
that the mention OF George r. Codd
for governor carries with 1t the as
surance that. If he will make the run.
the friends OF Wayne county senatorial
aspirants will back him.

COST Of BUILDING
10 PER CENT LESS
THAN LAST YEAR
SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN
PRICES OF LUMBER AND OTHER
LABOR MUCH LOW
Err AND MORE EFFICIENT.

The man who builds his home in
| Detroit this year will have an adyan'
tage over the fellow who built last
year and the one who erects a house
next year. This is the unanimous
verdict oil the builders.
| Slackness OF building operations has
depressed prices, SO that there is
difference OF about 10 per cent IN
building new houses, particularly
frame structures Just how long this
condition will last is a question, how
ever, as prices are already commenc-
ing 10 rise again in sympathy with the
general reaction from the financial
stringency of the winter and spring.
The man who wanted to build a
house for $4,000 last year can get
that same house for about $1,000 now.
Lumber, at least the common varie-
ties such as siding, studding, flooring
and lath. is from 81 10 So per thou
sand feet cheaper than last year. Vel
low pine has been much reduced in
price but is going up again as the el-
feet of shutting down most OF the
southern mills becomes apparent.
Labor cost is the big factor in the
building market. however. Wage
scales have been lowered, and only
the best men are working at the union
scale In several trades. Carpenters
who got 40 cents per hour last year
and who were scarce at that price.
are working now at from 80 TO 81 ~
cents per hour, and there are plenty
OF men Masons have cut their scale
OF wages Ave cents per hour and plast-
erers have also come down.
In addition there is greater eff
ficiency OF labor as the slackness OF
work makes men toll harder to retain
their places in the competition.
In taking up the items that go to
make the cost of house. lumber IL
from five 10 20 per cent lower, mill
stuffs and hardwood having depreciat-
ed least; brick cost just about the
same as before; masonry work is
cheaper; building hardware is cheap
err: plumbing supplies are the same,
but the labor cost is less: plastering
is six cents per yard less than In 1907;
painting is less In cost by about 10 per
cent; carpenter work Is fully 20 per
cent cheaper: fixtures are slightly
cheaper and are put up at less cost.
Il find that building is about 10
per cent lower this year on the aver
age" says T.. l.. Underwood OF Tn
derwood & Innis.
Il think 10 per cent Is about the
right figure" assents Hiram l.. Rose
| who has been doing great deal OF
building. Labor is less than il was.
Various lumber and material dealers
all say the same thing. that the cost
OF the things that go 10 make up d
house is lower than in several years
Lotowners are ebeginning To wake up
to the fact that they are letting the
best chance OF years go by and the
contractors are already finding a great
increase I'm the number of people who
are considering plans and getting
ready to build.
