fspecial from United Press, )

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Indianapolis, Jan. 26.-The admins tration of the United Mine Workers of America was given slap today by the anti-administration forces in the national convention when by a major ity of 228, President Lewis opponents voted in favor of not seating the dele gates from any locals in bad standing with district No. in Central Penn sy1vania. These locals had refused to pay an assessment levied by the dis trict and Lewis had upheld them, de- claring them to be in good standing according to .the provisions of the in ternational constitution. According to the results from the roll call taken late yesterday but announced today. 1927 votes were in favor of not seating the delegates, while 1909 votes stood by the administration. s
 The fight started Monday when the credentials committee recommended that the delegates be seated. The fight continued with much bitterness and lasted ten and a half hours. The action of the convention calling for roll call caused considerable excite ment in the convention and caused many to denounce the action as an un- warranted delay in the proceedings and an uncalled for expense as the time should be used in considering weightier subjects.

DartnQent

The much heralded building code was released today for inspection by the newspapers. The advance sheets 600 words, with which it is attempted to regulate the past, present and fu- ture of the art of building.
 As long as the common law. and aostruse as work on concrete and steel engineering. the code is a beau- tiful example of the socialistic ten dency of modern government.
 Under it almost nothing. or indeed less than nothing, is left to the initia- tive of the architect, the builder and the buyer. From cellar bottom to ridge pole all is settled in the most paternal fashion.
 The only elasticity given to the in strument is contained in two provis- ions The first is that it's restrictions and provisions shall be 'liberally in terpreted." The second is that if any, body desires to use any building ma terials not considered in the code that the building commissioners may give him the permission if they wish to.
 It is evident that the adoption of the code must be followed by a con siderable increase in the cost of con- ducting the building department. and especially an increase III Lne nuIlpel of inspectors.
 It would also appear that if the test provided for various materials are to be more than mere language that a testing department will have to be equipped and provided with suitable machinery.
 Powers approaching absolutism are given to the building inspector and the building commissioners.
 When in their opinion it is necessary sto do so they may enter any premises order any work to stop, order the fire department to tear out any chimney or other construction deemed danger ous.
 They may examine as to sanitation, ventilation and safety.
 In case of any divergence from the provisions of the code it is provided that the commissioners may enter, with help, cause the work to be done, charge it to the owner. and the charge

PRESSING ASQUITH TO AGAIN ACCEPT
 THE PREMIERSHIP
Strongest Business Inter- ests In England Aroused on Account of Menace to Industrial and Financial Life of Nation from An other Election.
Especial from. United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 London, Jan. 26.-The strongest bus mess interests in England are today bringing pressure to bear on Premier Asquith to again accept the Premier ship. regardless of the size of the Lib eral-Laborite majority over the Con- servatives. The possibility of an inn mediate election in the event of the Liberals refusing the ministerial con- trol is considered such a menace to the industrial and financial life of the nation that every effort will be made to keep the new parliament in session at least until May or June.
 A few months respite from politics is deemed absolutely essential to the nations welfare. Asquith is being inn plored to head the new government until budget is passed and some re- lief furnished from the chaotic condi- tion resulting from the non-existence of taxation legislation.
 The proposal of many business in- terests of a neutral government for few months, under the leadership of some such man as Lord Roseberry, or Lord CrOmer, is hotly resented by the Liberal radicals, without whose ap- proval the scheme cannot be success full.
 Ine plan CO ndnl the government over to the defeated party" declared Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George, .sis characteristic of the inso- fence of a certain class, which is de- luded by the idea that Providence in- tended it to rule. We will not admit the claim for minute.''
 Lloyd- Georges aim at the premier ship is becoming more apparent, &C., cording to many we'll informed poli- ticians. The chancellor is seeking to hurry Premier Asquith's decision on the re-acceptance of the premiership, in the hope it is charged, that the pre- mier will eventually Surrender the post in which event it is all but assured that Lloyd-George would himself be selected.
 % Returns from yesterdays voting show that Asquith was reelected in East Fife by a handsome majority.
 L1oyd-George was forced to abandon a speech at StOurbridge last evening on account of the hostility of mob that invaded the meeting. One hun dred police formed body-guard about the hall.
 Complete returns from yesterdays s voting bring the totals up to the fol- lowing:
 Conservatives 254, Liberals 2S3, Ma tionalists 72, Laborites 37. The strong showing by the Liberals make it prac- tically certain that they and the La borite will have majority of 40 over the Conservatives without counting on the Nationalists.

BUSY NIGHT FOR
 AMBULANCE CORPS

Ambulance calls following in such rapidity that they would have taxed the endurance of. a horse. kept the auto-ambulance busy last night.

CHARGES THREATEN
 ALASKAN SCANDAL
SENATE COMMITTEE LOOKING INTO BALLAINE OFFER TO PAY GOVERNMENT ROYALTY ON COAL.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Washington, Jan. 26.-Close scrutiny of an offer of John B. Ballaine, of Seat tie, to mine Alaskan coal and pay the government a royalty of 50 cents a ton was begun today by the Senate committee on territories, of which Sem ator Beveridge is chairman.
 The offef has brought a new factor into the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy and has been made the background for charges that threaten to open up a vast Alaskan scandal.
 \ Ballaine makes the charge "that oth- CT interests now maintain a lobby "headed by a former United States Senator in supporting another bill for disposing' of coal lands, under which, he says the government would extend an unconditional guarantee to railroads these interests propose to build. and virtually donate to them at S10 an acre one or more coal tracts of 5000 acres.
 Ballaine says his proposition would net the government about $50, GOO, ,000 on a 5000 acre tract of coal land.

1.-THE COUNTRY EDITOR
By David Cummns.

In all the broad range Of news
paper making as applied to the
country press, there IS no more
fruitful field than that of local
illustration. By local Illustration
is meant the picturing Of local
events.
TIE success of a newspaper, |
think we will all admit, depends
to a large extent to the making
up of the paper by the editor. A
great deal of the editors of the
country newspapers either can
not get the news or else falls
down in trying to write it. A
good news paper editor should
know his territory thoroughly.
He should print the news when
it is news. There is only one
way to get news. and that Is
suggested in six small letters
HUSTLE; an editor cannot get up
q good local paper by staying in
the office and trying to get the
news over the telephone, they
should always make a personal
visit to the place.
On Saturdays the streets of
the town is full of people. and
the editor or his reporter should
arrange to spend that day
among them, and in touch with
them.
The business end of country
newspaper is its most important
end. 1t is the end that requires
the most constant care and

watchfulness. A country paper
may be said to rest on three
columns: the local column, the
editorial column and the business
column. And the greatest OF
these is the business column; for
when it fails, the whole fabric
falls, and the sheriff makes his
call.
Every country editor knows
how hard it is to get good local
news, but almost every village
and town can be organized to
furnish good copy, and If | were
to suggest an improvement Tor a
weekly paper, it would be to get
as much of what actually hap
pens as possible, so that the SUBJ
scribers would feel satisfied that
they were not being neglected IN
the matter of news at least. /
think the fault of most country
newspapers is that they allow
their columns to go stale by
printing news that is old. |
realize that a weekly paper has
to cover the events of a week,
but | do believe that the news
that is fresh should be given a
prominent display. For in
stance, if the paper goes to press
on Thursday the news that hap
pens Wednesday night or Thurs
day morning Just before press
time. should be given display
heads to attract the reader OF
fresh news.
The editor Of the paper IN a
small town should in a quiet and
unassuming way seek the ac-
quaintance of all classes of peo-
pie in his town and community,
especially an intimacy with the
leaders, for there is nothing that
is greater impetus to success
in a public man than a large
host of friends and acquaintance
in the community in which he
resides and operates.
Every editor should stand for
something. There has been no
period in the worlds history
when there was more need Of
standing for something. They
should stand for what they think
is right, stand for a clean city,
a larger, and buster city.
