moved from Bob Temple, l took him
into my confidence and found him to
be the best one in the family after
all, in spite of his wildness. He told
me all about his habits, and recalled
that one day he had spoken to Chan
Wooley about his fathers wealth and
the valuables that he kept in his safe.
I became a regular visitor in Wooley's
gambling house, and one evening l
noticed a ring on the finger of one of
the dealers which resembled one that
had been taken from Temples safe.
After the game l arrested the dealer.
l accused him of committing the rob-
berry and murder. He told me the
ring had been given to him by
Wooley. l got sample of Wooley's
handwriting and found that it was
similar to the writing in the letter
written by the crook who returned the
will. I arrested Wooley, and wnen he
learned of the evidence against him
he admitted his guilt, but would not
give away his partners. He suffered
punishment alone, and crooks every
where sounded his praise"

Merchant and Manufacturer Will
Again Turn to Republican Party.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. / am an old line, old time, non
compromising, no-surrcuder American
Republican. and / write TO thank you for
publishing the article by Governor Dur
bin Of Indiana.
We want people like him to give our
party courage and to put backbone into
the weaklings who think that because the
enemy has gone into power that We will
remain out forever and a day.
The Democratic party will soon show
its inability to handle successfully the
problems which 1t will be called upon
TO solve. Every department of the fed
eral government will have its share of
this work. and the men who will lead will
be noyices pluclled for the places in pay
ment for party patriotism. The time will
come when the merchant and the manu-
facturer who wanted "a change" will see
the error of their ways, and they will turn
then to the old safe and sound Repub-
lican party for relief.
Let MS be ready for a call, Let us
keep the light burning. Let us spread
the gospel which Governor DUrbin has
brought to us through The Tribune. "Our
party will fight agaiu-it will not die"

HOW OLD is A RELIC?

How old must a relic be to possess
historical importance? The discussion
Of the fate of the old Assay Office sug-
gests the question. Mr.. f. II. Hall, Of
the Scenic and Historic Preservation
Society, who as a professional saver of
relics may perhaps qualify as an eX-
pert, says that the Assay Office "is not
"even a hun, red years old. and l think
"a building should be at least that Old
ito have much historic value Obvi-
ously, however the strict application Of
this rule to determine the claims Of
any building to preservation would
mean, i'm a rapidly changing and de
veloplng community, the destruction Of
practically everything Of present mod
crate and future great historic interest
Conservation Of potential relics is nee
essary if we are to have real ones. If
thing must endure its full century be-
fore it begins to be regarded as venera-
BILE, there is very little chance in this
country Of its ever becoming venerable
at all. The rule would send it TO the
dump heap at ninety without remorSe,
even If its character were such that,
had the march of business been ten
years slower, it would have come to be
treasured in the relic class.
If New York had felt that way about
the City Hall twenty years ago, when
that edifce was considerably less than
a hundred years old, some one Of the
frequent plans for its destruction would
certainly have succeeded. The home Of
Abraham Lincoln in Springfield and the
house where he died in Washington
acquired great historical interest when
both were perhaps not forty years old.
OF course, association with a national
hero like Lincoln gave them an cX-
traordinary value, regardless of age.
But the fact is that the mere number
Of years Is generally minor considera-
ton in the creation of historic value.
Age is relative term. In an ancient
European city buildings q century or
two old are Of slight Importance In
the first place. there are too many Of
them. In the next place, buildings
from three to five hundred years Old
Overshadow. the youngsters with more
impressive historic associations. In
San Francisco a building of the Forty
Miners would be q relic; IN Rome one
OF Gregory XVI would be just an old
house. When anywhere a building of
a certain era, ancient or comparatively
recent, comes TO be rare, tells Of van
ished order Of life, typities past phase
of art, 1t comes TO be OF historic value.
Reminders Of important national events
carried with 1t acquire increasing in-
terest as time goes on. What is re-
garded as merely mildly interesting
when it is ninety yeats old wiz if pre-
served, have much greater importance
hereafter.
We do not eXagger0te the interest OF
importance. either architectural or his

Of Mr.. Perkins is one Of the dillicultic.
Of the Progressive party. But without
