young man. He was a former resi-

work, for which he was peculiarly
in various places. He served in the

as city surveyor He made plat
book for the use of the city that is
one of the best investments that the
city council ever made. Mr.. VerVeer
is now vice president of the John T.
Wilson Company, incorporated" of
Richmond, Virginia. He went with
| the company several years ago as an
employed engineer and his value met
with appreciation. The absolute re-
liability and the character of his work
and his ability to meet emergencies
with his own resources gave him dd
vanCement and he became indispen-
sible and was made part of the or
ganiZation and is winning merited sue
cess. The company does all kinds of
construction from bridge or Viaduct
work to the erection of the modern
sky scraper. A large factory of Rich
mond was recently destroyed by fire
while engaged on work for the gov
eminent. The management appealed
to the Wilson Company to rebuild for
them in shortest possible time. The
new factory was in operation again
exactly two weeks following its de.
struction by fire. Mr.. Yer Veer had
personal supervision of this contract
and it illustrates his generalship in
planning and carrying out a piece of
work.

FOR A NEW CITY HALL

session from Monday night at the

purpose of taking up the plans for

those drawn by Wetherell & Gage, Of

istration, during which the project
for city hall was born. S. b. Sin

drawings for the understanding Of
the members o. the council. The
session lasted until well on towards
eleven o'clock and the meeting then
adjourned to Thursday evening. when
the work will be further considered.

Somehow this Joe Bailey doth pro-
test too much. BY his persistent and
overwrought anxiety for Lorimer he
has raised the question OF his own
motive Why should the democratic
senator from Texas go so strong for
Bailey is only one member of the com
mittee that reported in favor of Lori
mer He is not the whole committee.
Senator Bailey may be able to see
more clearly than others why he
should exert himself to defend his pO-
sition He has all but crowded the
Illinois senator out Of the limelight
and had the calcium shifted upon
himself. He has even wept on the
senate floor in his defense Of the ma
jority of the committees report"
wept when he referred to certain de-
tails in the Lorimer election that we're
condemned by all but this committee
majority, and by It palliated or justi-
fed. Well, it is not such a strange
thing to weep over after all. But II ia
strange that 1t does not upset the
lachrymal glands of other senators
who voted as Bailey voted.
The wicked fee when no man pur-
sueth;" also, "a guilty conscience
needs no reproof." Bailey has been
held in high esteem in the past. He
has been ranked as a deep constitu-
tional student, a powerful orator, an
effective logician and a resourceful
tactician. He has played all these
strings for more than they we're
worth in this effort. But he has come
out this time with a new distinction,
Bailey, the hair-splitter." Seldom in
the history of congress has a democrat
made such a fight for a republican, or
vice versa. But what is politics be-
tween friends at such times? 1t may
be but a queer turn of circumstances
that it is not Lorimer defending
Bailey.
Bailey on trial presents, after all
a spectacle of pity. Here is a compar-
atively young man fallen from the
high estate Of public esteem into
pit of popular distrust from which no
skill or strategem that he possesses
or can command could lift him. The
splendid powers nature gave him can
never be used for the best interests
of his country, because they have too
long served other purposes and other
interests. The. Texas spell-binder is
doing more than defending his action
on the committee-he is making a
stand for his own waning influence.

Strength of the Lumber BarOns,

Il seems rather unfortunate that
Commissioner of Corporations Her
bert Knox Smith has been unable to
verify by long and patient investiga-
tion the declaration of certain i'm
mense lumber interests that they are
not engaged in a combine Mr.. Smith
does not specifically declare that they
are, but in his report to congress he
cites some fairly good circumstantial
evidence to suggest the possibility of
such thing.
After receiving this report two ave-
nues are open to congress. One is to
ascertain for itself whether the anti
trust laws are being violated by these
dealers and the other is to amend the
laws by which timber land may be ac-
quired. This would protect govern
ment property from presumption for
private monopoly in the future, even
though 1t would mot restore to the
government any of the land now held
by these interests 1t is important
that prompt action along both lines be
taken; IL is wrong to leave the door
open to private spoliation of national
resources. The timber in the states,
Alaska and the islands should be for
tihed against such aggression.
Whether or not the existence of a
lumber trust can be established. this
country has unquestionably paid exor-
bitant prices for building its homes
and places OF business. Some power
stronger than the ordinary influence
OF supply and demand has controlled
prices and consequently hindered de-
velopment and imposed hardships on
individuals. II is not enough 70 rely
upon a Canadian reciprocity with It's
free lumber clause for complete relief

in a while the advertising and added

Experienoe nr Prestire

While the selection OF a successor
to the late Paul Morton as head of the
Equitable Life Assurance society has
been deferred, Il Is given out from re-
liable sources that the new president
will come by way OF promotion OF one
OF the men now nigh up in the oficial
stan. Such promotion would not
ordinarily be specially noteworthy ex-
eept for the fact that in this instance
IL indicates a returning swing OF the
pendulum by which more emphasis is
to be placed on actual experience in
the management OF big insurance COM
panies than on the prestige a name has
acquired In other professions or fields
OF Industry. In a word. those who are
responsible have come to the eonclu-
sion that IL is better to employ an in
suranee nan TO run the insurance bus
mess than 70 cali In a big banker.

Influences for reciprocity.

One very strong influence working upon
the republicans in congress to act favor
ably on the reciprocity agreement at this
session Is the evident c.
democrats over the prospects NJ IN c~'~-
session. They are now saying that they
would make use Of an extra session to
frame up and press for enactment the plat
form on which they will make the presi-
Dental fight OF next year. II they arc
ready to submit such a program in fun
party unity. this would give them an early
start and a great advantage. By enacting
reciprocity at this session the republicans
would not only prevent the opposition from
acquiring such an advantage. but would
take lot OF wind out Of the democratic
sails in respect to the tariff-reform issue.

Mule is in His Heudau

Do not waste any sympathy on the
poor mule He is neither has-been
nor a candidate for that class. He,
like the horse, is not suffering any
setback as a result Of the advent Of
the automobile. The long-eared ami
NAL seems only to have come into the
hey-dey Of his popularity, If we may
judge from the price he brings on
the market Evidently his prosperity
will not depend for artificial support
on the advertising he might derive
from Champ Clark's heralded promise
to drive a span of Missouri mules up
Pennsylvania avenue. II rests upon
something more substantial.
The mule is more in demand today
than 1t has been at any time since the
Boer war, when the demand surpassed
all records. But in price he has far
outstripped the Boer war days. Mules
are from 80 to 40 per cent higher to-
day than they have been in ten years,
and, according to the Kansas City Star,
a mule of fourteen and one-half hands
that could be bought on the Kansas
City market during the South African
war for from $40 to sos today
brings from 1856 to 1910. Evidently
the automobile, popular as II has be-
come for hauling purposes, and the
motor, popular as 1t is for propelling
farm machinery heretofore driven or
pulled by mules, have failed to under
mine the mules stability. They may
not have increased it, but something
has.
OF course, II is simple enough to
determine what that factor is. It is
the tremendous expansion of business.
There are certain kinds Of service
which the mule will always perform
better than any other animal or ma.
chine and these kinds of service have
gone on multiplying along with the
general increase in the volume OF
business. 1t is not merely a saying
but a fact, that the value of horses
and mules keeps pace with the amaz.
ing multiplicity OF automobiles and
motors for various purposes.
