man" handbook and can hire masons car
penters, plumbers. steam filters, ETC.. to
do the work. These various tradesmen
can be brought together on a job and left
TO their own devices as far as their In
dividual processes are concerned with only
the supervision that is given them by the
undermined building inspectors office.
Yet IL unlicensed plumber were to at
tempt TO wipe joint or lay pipe he
would be subject to heavy fine. 1t is
anomalous in the last degree that building
work, involving the safety Of multitudes
of people, should be permitted in any
case under the law to be relegated to any
man with the capital to hire workmen
who may through ignorance or through
design cheaper construction to the danger
point and evade inspection sufficiently to
get his work finished without collapse.
Still another point appears in the testi-
mony that is worthy of consideration by
the higher authorities. Several OF the
witnesses have testified already that in
their judgment the work was rushed too
fast, and ii is the opinion of some that
the collapse of Tuesday was due in large
measure TO this fact. Yet there seems to
have been no authority on the part OF
the building inspectors Office to interpOse
an effective objection to such rapid con-
struction. Again an anomaly appears.
That office can stop job for any specific
infraction of the regulation, but it cannot
stop a job that is being rushed at rate
which threatens the collapse Of every part.
In short, so long he complies with the
letter of the regulation d builder can
throw his work together at any pace he
may choose and remain immune from mo-
lestatiOn.
What the District demands is Il build
ing inspection service that from the sub
mission of plans to the last stroke of work
is efficient and thoroughgoing in every
detail, and that, SO FAR as IL is practicable,
guarantees honest trustworthy workman
ship on every job, great or small, under
taken here.

structive as refreshing.
The Two men have seldom agreed about

been in bitter antagonism. In 1896 Mr..

and his influence went far tn throw

Mr. Watterson insisted that Mr.. Bryan
Should not again be nominated. and from
the day of Judge Parkers defeat until a
short time ago Mr. Watterson asserted
that Mr. Bryan'S nomination this year
would spell defeat again for the democ-
racy. In searching for d leader with

approval 10 Gov. Johnson of Minnesota
During all this time Mr.. Bryan and the

But now Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. Bryan
have shaken hands and enlisted for this

Fairgrounds and Crime.

The best argument in favor of play
grounds for children is that it will min
imize Juvenile crime. OF course. such
an argument harks back to a very old
and not always triumphant theory of
human nature. viz: that crime increases
in just the proportion that bad economic
conditions crowd the people into abnor-
NAL living. Children in normal circum-
stances do not tend to crime. And nor
NAL circumstances mean conditions in
which they have enough to eat and to
wear and enough leisure time for play
and plenty of room to play in. But be-
cause we cannot do it all at once is no
reason why We should not do what We
can The testimony wherever the ex-
pertinent has been tried is that play
grounds have a marked effect in din1in-
ishing the criminal tendencies in the
poorer children of the great cities The
crowded alleys and courts and the mar
row confines Of city streets tend inevita-
bly, to degeneracy. If only for one hour
a day children in such circumstances are
given access to the open spaces and al
lowed to romp and play in the sunshine
they respond TO the improving conditions
Immediately. Play is the normal condi-
ton of childhood, and any and every
approach to the normal has its own
share in lettering human life.

cial speaks of the dough draft of the

Still, .'out of the mouths Of babes"-and

Dough is abroad at Chicago, as later
it will be at Denver, seeking whom it
may devour and what secure. The tariff
issue, the trust issue and the railroad is
sue are all dear to the heart of John
Dough- He is anxious to shape them,
and willing to make himself exceedingly
agreeable to delegates and committee
men at either convention who may be
willing to take his view of matters. A
rough platform could be endured. but
a dough platform would be fatal.

Building Inspection Needs.

The building collapse on Tuesday last
this city, now under investigation by
The coroner. has developed several points
If interest 10 the community i'll manner
% call for action by the Commissioners.
fhe acting building Inspector testified yes
terday before the coroner's jury that
there had been no amendment of the
building regulations since 1902, but that
= general revision is now in progress
and that this revision will fully cover all
matters of concrete construction. In other
words. according TO this statement the
local building regulations have not been
brought up TO date In most important
respect. Concrete construction has been
IN vogue for several years. There is a
building in this city composed wholly Of
concrete, and reinforced concrete Is 10
cally used in many ways as supplement
tary TO the ordinary masonry work. Fail
ures OF concrete construction have been
reported from other cities in a manner to
direct attention pOintedly to the fact that
this mode of construction must be SUBJ
jected to a rigid inspection. The WASH
ington regulations should long ago have
been made sufficiently stringent on this
subject to insure at least reasonably safe
concrete construction. If 1t is true. as
Mr. Poynton indicates, that the local
regulations in force ut this time do not
specifically cover concrete construction,
the building inspection service has been
decidedly negligent in keeping progress
with the constantly developing art OF
building
Another point of interest that has been
raised i'm this connection is that there Is
no system for the licensing of builders
in the District. Under the present meth

Chicago and the Vice Presidency

Strong as Judge Taft is. both il per-
sonal popularity and in the confidence of
the public as man of capacity for bust
ness, he will yet need strong running
mate. If he is to head the republican
ticket his associate should be like unto
him-a man of affairs and of accepted
worth in the largest sense.
The republicans, in this respect in
that of the first place, have much good
material. But there are two men who, for
reasons easily given, stand above all the
rest.
Ii Of these two Gov. Hughes is
placed first, it is because of his geo.
graphical recommendation: The republic
ans will need New York, and must fight
to get it. Matters there are in bad shape
for them. But Gov. Hughes has made SO
excellent an impression as u man of con-
science and an official OF sagacty that.
employing popular phrase, he is his par
tvs best asset. He would be a vote-ge;
ter where votes will be greatly needed.
Taft and Hughes would appeal with the
greatest force to the controlling element
both in the city and up state.
Mr.. Fairbanks is as highly respected by
thoughtful people as Gov. Hughes; and
for the same reasons. He takes a sober
and a sane view Of questions. For all of
value for which the party stands he stands.
The policies so warmly approved by the
country he has Lelped TO inaugurate. His
home people are proud of him, and In
diana, like New York, needs attention.
No walkover is assured the republicans in
the HoOsier state this year. Taft and
Fairbanks would appeal with enthusiasm
to Indianans from Lake Michigan to the
Ohio river.
1t is the custom of the two parties to
balance their national tickets geograph-
ically. An eastern and a western, or a
western and an eastern, man are yoked
/ together. Ohio and New York won in
| 1876 with Hayes and Wheeler in 1880
| with Garfield and Arthur, and in 1900 with
| Mckinley and Roosevelt. Indiana and
New York won in 1884 with Cleveland and
Hendricks, TN 1883 with Harrison and
Morton, and deserved to win In 1892 with
Harrison and Reid. The ticket of Taft
and Hughes therefore, would recall pre-
vious successful combinations, besides be-
ing an assurance in itself.
The republicans at Chicago should play
every card for all 1t may be- worth. No
parade to Pretoria is ahead of them.
The Bryan Beers will line the way, and
dispute every inch of it. The weak places
are known. New York is one; Indiana is
another. If Judge Taft is to lead, let him
have all the assistance the occasion calls
for The partys call is party duty, and
no man can afford to decline 1t. This is
pre-eminent1y a year when the party ex-
poets every man to do his duty.

Hughes Anti-Gambling Message.

rom Inc buffalo f&nTcss.
The points made by the governor have
already been stated in his speeches until
the public is familiar with them. The
whole question is elementary that
there can be no possibility of any one go
ing wrong upon it who permits himself to
be guided by moral sense. Is public
gambling an evil? 1t is. Is 1t any less
an evil when practiced inside a race track
Enclosure than elsewhere? 1t is not. Was
it the intent of the constitution to forbid
all forms of public gambling? 1t was.
Does the present law enforce the consti-
tuition? 1t does not. There is the whole
case i'm the form Of a catechism. Any dis
cussion as to the value of the investments
in race track gambling privileges. the i'm
provement of the breed of horses. etc. Is
beside the mark. The legislature has been
put TO a moral test. Those members who
voted against the gambling bills can
deceive neither themselves nor their con-
stituents as to what they were doing.

Louisiana and the Racing Game.

While the New York state senate is
today passing Gov. Hughes anti-gambling
BILLS it is interesting 10 note that the
house of representatives of Louisiana
Yesterday by vote of 81 to 90 passed
"a bill prohibiting betting of any kind
.xat race tracks. The bill will now be
considered in the senate. where it is eX
pected a last ditch fight will be waged
by the racing interests to prevent this
measure from going through. There is
free talk of the use Of money to beat the
bill and the charge is directly brought
that a corruption fund has been raised.
The governor has called upon the legisa-
ture TO investigate the charges and has
requested the district judge of the capital
city jurisdiction to lay the matter before
the grand jury. The lower house has APP
pointed a committee of nine to conduct
the investigation. The present expecta-
ton is that the senate will pass the bill
by close vote.
If Louisiana thus closes its gates against
