A GRAFT ORDINANCE.

OF all the ordinances that have
been introduced for the consideration
Of the city council the electric wire
inspection law Is one Of the most OBJ
Jectlonable. Besides creating the
Office of little car who can go
about the city haTassing people and
annoying them, II throws wide open
the doors for graft and collision
with any contractor who may have
q pull with tho inspector, whether
through friendship OF the division OF
the spoils. The most Objectionable
feature to the ordinance Is that II
gives an inspector the right to invade
any private home without due pro-
cess of law. upon the pretext that
something might be wrong with the
electric wiring, and he can arbltrar-
lily enforce his orders whether they
coincide with the established rules
OF the underwriters or any other ac-
cepted authority. While an ordinance
regulating the installation OF wiring
along the lines laid down by the un-
derwrlters may be necessary, we be-
lieve the one now before the council
should BIO radically amended or killed.
The people do not want such auto
cratic power conferred on one man
as this ordinance carries with It. We
believe that careful consideration
OF Its provisions by the council will
show Its weak points to their salts
faction, and result In amendments
or the defeat of the measure. The
people do not want monopoly of the
wiring business established here
through the appointment OF an
Inspector who may not DO able to see
any good work aside from that OF his
favorite contractor or the one who
will give him the biggest rake-ofR
These things should be guarded
against, and the proposed ordinance
fails to do this.

comes from the fact that a residence

MINISTER WI TING-FANG
TAKES HIS DEPARTURE.

At last after much interrogation
and conversation, Minister Wa Ting
fang has taken his departure.
lie has sailed for Europe on the
Lusitsnia bound for his own country.
Minister WI may or may not be with
us again. He seems to have a PRESENT.
ment that he will not be. Judging by
the amount of advice ne has left be
hind for our considera tion as indi-
yiduals and as nation. Much Of this
Is humorous, much serious. and not a
little of it worthy of careful econsidcra
tion.
DR.. Wa promises to be in our midst
again fifty years hence. At that
time hc will be only 1l6 years old,
and ne will come, ne says, not a. a
diplomat, but as a missionary to dis
pcnse a large assortment - of new
knowledge which the world has not yet
discovered, am especially the United
States.
Minister WI gives America free Of
charge his recipe for longevity 1t
consists simply of pure food. pure air,
and pure thought" II looks easy, like
many another recipe. but most Of us
would probably find it hard 10 follow
it out vigorously. In pursuit of the
pure food idea, DR.. Wa cats no break
fa-t and when noon comes takes his
first meal. which Is what most of US
would regard as a light lunch II con
sists of corraakcs with milk, a sweet
potato. three slices Of whole wheat
bread and butter. and two apples.
Such meal DR.. Wu insists, contains
all the requisites and gives great
physical and mental power
And 1t must be admitted that there
is no indication that Wu's diet in any
way interfercs with the processes Of
a keen mentality. Yearly Dr. WI
admits that long ago he drank a great
deal of whisky, but ne has laid that
aside. presumably with other follies of
youth. and Is now dwelling on a
higher and more spiritual plane, where
one needs no alcoholic stimulsuts.
With the American way of eating,
DR. WI finds much fault It is all
wrong he asserts. We eat too much
and don't cal it right at that He is
not a vegetarian but a sanitarian, nc
says. He cats what Is good for him,
and each year gets ten years younger.
There Is much We could say of DR.
WI. Suffice IT 20 remark that it will
be lonesome without him, and We nope
he viii change his mind about staying
away fifty years. At such odd times
as he can We trust he viii send over
packages OF his inimitoble advice.

few of the assertions.
The hearings before the House Com
mittee on Agriculture explain clearly
the purpose Of the bills. The George

On the other hand Congress is asked 10
grant the local institution merely the
same privileges which are enjoyed by
College iu the States and Territories
which maintain courses in agriculture
and mechanic arts.
The citizens Of Washington have as
muck right to Federal assistance for
institutions maintaining these courses
as have the citizens in other sections Of
the country. Do the protesting officials
