CHOOSING a BUILDER.
The circle.

r f.
The selection OF builder is quite
as important matter in putting up a
house rs the choice of an architect
Don't choose the cheapest builder
merely because he is cheapest If
you accept his bid find out the reason
of its cheapness. Frequently the
builder is man of little means and
often he operates on borrowed capital.
Should the builder bankrupt, or fail
to pay for his labor or materials, the
owner, under the mechanics laws of
most states. becomes liable for the
builders debts. This is true even
though the owner has paid the build
er for his work In order to obtain
his house free and clear. in such a
case, the owner must meet the build-
er's obligations. The prudent owner
will, of course. pay for his house only.
as 1t is constructed. Even then it
would be useful caution to make
sure that the builder has paid his
Indebtedness on the house Payments
are usually made to the builder when
the foundations are done, when the
frame is up. when the house is closed.
when the plastering is finished, and
when the completed house is turned
over TO the owner.

MIR. ROOFS ABILITY.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean notes that.
when Mr.. Root made brief and ap-
parently casual remark in the Senate
the members OF that august body lists
ened attentively.
4 After Mr.. Cumn1ins had finished a
speech against the glass schedule of the
4Aldrich bill, MI. Root quietly remarked
that it seemed to him that those fig
,lres. which accord with the statements
made here today do cal on the gentle
men who wish to maintain this duty
for some explanation"
This was all that was said by the
new member from New York; and the
Iuter-Ocean asks:
Why was all this attention given
to commonplace remark related on its
face only to a practical detail OF legis-.
lation, from a man who never poses In
any way as superior 10 his party or att
tempts to speak as one having author
ity to which lesser men are bound to
bow?
The paper attributes the Difference to
Mr.. Roots remarks to the ability and
the sincerity Of the new Senator.
Another paper, the New York World,
which is not in political accord with
Mr.. Root on questions of principle. says
that OF Mr. Roots mental power and
great legal abilities. there can be no
question; and doubts whether rany
other members Of the Senate is intel
lectually his peer.
The latter paper further believes that
with the reputation ACQUIRED as a
lawyer, as Secretary Of War as Secre-
tary of State and as Senator from New
York, and with the influence of Presi-
dent Taft behind him, he can compel
a tariff that will reduce the cost OF
| living and shift much of the burden
| from poverty to wealth. y
1t is evident from the combined tes-
| timony of both friend and foe that an
unusual opportunity is before Mr.. Root
Should he follow the course suggest
| ed by these papers. he would undoubt-
eddy have great and enlightened body
OF public sentiment behind him. When
party opinion is radically divided. as
at present, the decisions OF leading
minds fix the party policies.

ONE SINGLE ISSUE.

i. tgsT I & ID 4
The Tribune boasts about Am
erican'' improvements and hopes to
make a campaign OH that issue alone.
Here are the exact words: And all
that the American party asks of the
church politicians, is that they give MS
q fair opportunity to present TO the
people of this city the single issue,
ana let ii be fought out on that line"
Very good! There IRE no Church
politicians" Whatever politicians
there are, are Republican, Democratic.
Socialistic, or what not; but not
"Church politicians That is an ABB,
surd term, contradictory and mis-
leading. SO. II the Tribune want a

PRAISE FOR hon.
PAUL B. JOHNSON

OF Hon. Paul B. Johnson, of this
city, to-day's Jackson Clairon-Ledger
says:
Hon. Paul B. Johnson, of Hatties.
burg, one Of the most prominent at
torneys and influential citizens of
South Mississippi, is in the city on
business before the Supreme Court.
Mr.. johnson is an applicant for the
1udgeship in the Hattiesburg district,
and judging from the high endorse
ments he is receiving from all classes
of people he stands a good chance of
being appointed.
1T is we'll known that he was one of
the original Noel men in South Mis-
sissippi, and that he gave much time
from his business during the first and
second primaries in promoting his
campaign. He is lawyer of recog-
nized ability, and in rugged honesty
and earnest desire for the laws of the
State to be enforced, he is the peer OF
any.
I'm addition to Mr.. Johnson, the
present incumbent is an applicant for
disappointment. There are also one
or two others, all good men. However
the Governor may decide, if he
chooses any of the present applicants
the district will have a good Judge. u
