Building Management.

Washington entertains many conven-
tions which illustrate the fact that human
activity Is now running decidedly toward
specialization OF effort. The day of the
Jack -at-all-trades has passed. and men
are now assigning themselves to tasks
for which they are peculiarly fitted. or for
which special opportunity is afforded
them. Just at present there is in session
here a convention which attracts particu-
lar attention on this score, the meeting
OF the Building Managers and Owners
Association. comprising men who are en-
gagged in the management of large struc-
lures, such as apartment houses and of
fee buildings. 1t appears that this line
OF work involves certain peculiar prob

and construction methods. IL is for the

Rockville Bars Midnight Marriage
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore sun.
Rockville may lose some of its interest
to the romantic when IL ceases to be a
.'Gretna Green but il will gain in the
respect of right-mnded people who re-
gard the marriage compact as too sacred
to be entered upon lightly. Easy divorce
Is largely the outcome of easy marriage.
While the state should not put any undue
obstacles in the way of the honorable union
of man and woman, IL should throw am
pie safeguards around IL. "All the world
loves a lover and smiles on the ardent
youth who wins his lady love in spite Of
obstacles. But the infatuation of an hour
is no solid basis for happy life. Sudden
marriages are often followed by long
years of unhappiness, when husband and
wife find themselves unsuited to each
of them find their way into the divorce
courts.
Every church and creed surround the
marriage altar with the solemnity that
BELTS so important an event in life. Many
regard it as a religious sacrament and all
churches as an obligation not TO be en-
tered into lightly-a bond to bind man
and woman until death parts them. The
state recognizes this by putting the per-
Torrance OF the ceremony largely in the
hands of the clergy. But even regarded
only as civil contract. IL should certain
ly be put by clerks of the courts and
magistrates OH at least as high a level
as other bonds or contracts No clerk
would suffer himself to be aroused at mid
night to record a mortgage or to issue a
license for any other purpose.

An Approaching Ordeal.

Johnny's getting ready for his schooling

His fathers face is Swallowed by look
OF anxious pain
As he takes a dusty volume from the
long-neglected shelf,
And spends his time in study in corner
by himself.
He knows test is coming. all relentless
and severe,
When trustful childhood, seeking for en-
lightenment draws near.
So he's bracing up his brain TO meet the
formidable task
son will have to ask.
He's looking conjugations up with
patient, plodding care.
In history he's delving when he has the
time to spare.
In chemistry and physics he's exploring
every day,
And he figures what an algebraic fish's
head will weigh.
He fears the time when Johnny, with
triumphant voice and strong,
Will say that teacher told him what his
father said was wrong.
And he trembles as he wonders IL by any
earthly scheme
He can pass exams that mean promotion
In his sons esteem.

Vacation Expenses.

Vacation Is over. You are back Ibid

you had laid aside, perhaps since the last
vacation? Did you strike the city depot
with just a nickel in your pocket for car
fare? Many men do. Even women,
more careful than men, come back from
a vacation sometimes without enough to
pay for lunches until pay day comes.
Many men, wage earners and salaried
come back to very close week or two
after vacation is over. Ii is all wrong

Beef Packers to the Bar.

IL is too early to rejoice over the in
dictment in Chicago of ten members of
the largest packing companies i'm this
country for conspiracy to restrain trade
and regulate prices. This accusation by
the federal grand jury, 1t is true, is the
most direct and specific application to
individuals of the law against trade con-
spiracies which has thus far been made
by federal court. But The history of
this effort to break up what is popularity
known as the beef trust, comprising sew
eral large packing houses in Chicago and
elsewhere working i'm harmonious agree
ment as to prices and quantities, has been
marked with several failures. Last
March a federal grand jury, after two
months of investigation, indicted eleven
corporations. but this indictment was
quashed on demurrer and the grand jury
which has just returned indictments was
organized. Its work apparently has been
thoroughly and carefully done. AS a
preliminary to its findings against the
individual packers it has already brought
i'm two indictments. one against the man.
ager of the dressed beef department of
the Armour company, alleging perjury,
and another accusing the chief counsel
of that same company of destroy
ing note books after they had been de-
nanded. The latter accusation has been
set aside on proof that the books were
destroyed before they were demanded.
but the former stands, and i'm il is in
volved the substance of the whole case
against the packers now named as de-
PENDANTS. in the assertion that weekly
meetings have been held in Chicago at
which the packers fixed the prices to be
charged and decided upon the volume Of
business TO be done by each company
during the week.
Or greatest interest in this case is the
fact that individual members Of the cor
poration comprising the so-called. beef
trust are named as defendants This is
in accordance with Judge Lands charge
to the grand jury urging that IL possible
it bring accusation against persons and
not corporations. Should these indict-
ments stand the test of demurrer and
trial, the business of consolidating cor
porations. whether by formal agreement
or by informal practice, to the end OF
controlling trade conditions will have beer
rendered too hazardous for continuation.
battle is waging today between the
people who demand unrestricted compe-
tition and the capitalists who are seeking
methods of preventing competition. The
most highly qualified lawyers are busily
at work, finding ways and means of evad-
ing the antitrust statutes. AS long as
the fight of the people who demand the
freedom of trade is directed against the
corporate bodies and not against the men
who comprise them there is little likeli-
hood of victory. The moment. however
it becomes possible to put behind the
prison bars the men who decree the
| rates at which the necessities Of life shall
| be sold the trust will have become an
| impossibility.

The District Lights.

In deciding 10 Tescind in part the order
transferring certain lights from suburban
roads OF the District 10 city alleys the
Commissioners have acted In accordance
not only with the desires of the majority

deliverances have made an impression on
the rank and file of the party, and the
rank and file are insurging.
What does this Maine business fore
cast? In 1850 the republicans throughout
the country were much divided. stall
warts and haif-breeds were as fierce to-
ward each other as regulars and in
surgents now are. In September Maine
elected democrat governor, and the
effect was TO unite the republican fac
lions elsewhere and bring the party vic
tory in the presidential contest two
months later. But greenbackism caused
that change. The newly elected governor
in Maine was a greenbacker. and the
business interests everywhere took alarm,
AMI In the national contest rallied to
GARFIELD and Arthur.
In 1890 Maine in September voted re-
publican. returning her four republican
representatives TO the House. and in
dorsins the Mckinley tariff bill. then on
the eve of being enacted into law. Two
months later the democrats swept the
country. electing a large majority of the
House. and scoring against Mr.. Reeds

Whether this Maine overturn can be
utilized by the republicans in New York,
New Jersey. Indiana and Ohio for sober
Ing and unifying purposes Is q question.
The time Is short. and it Is but the truth
TO say that the republican jag in those
states has been protracted, is still on
