USE OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The use of school-houses as recrea- ton centers is growing. and now Oak land, Cal, proposes to go a step fur ther by getting the max mum utility out of the great auditorium. for which half a million dollars have been voted. It will not be superfine building, but 1t will te large and 1t lis now planned to equip 1t with so many sources for amusement that it will be in use most to use the main floor at times for roller ska ting and on certain evenings for dancing under proper supervis on. The primary motive for the auditor ium was to provide a convention hal, but it is realized that conventions do not occur often enough to give a large practical return on the investment.

THE DANGER OF HATING 10 KNOW THE TRUTH

= The New York Times, noting that minimum wage law governing the compensation of coal miners, takes occasion to remark that Congress can't do that sort of thing in this country. using the following language:
 Ike British Parliament is as nearly onnnipotent as any Legislature can be. There is no constitution to prevent Its ordering that the increased wage de- maifded by the coal miners shall be deducted from dividends. Tn this country our written fundamental stat ute prevents the taking away of one mans property for another mans ben eft without due process of law. What would not Englishmen give for such a imminent of property rights, which must be preserved, not through tender ness for wealth, but through regard for wage earners, whose wages would cease with dividends?
 For our own part we fear that The Times places too much faith in mere law. An instrument under which men will agree to work does well enough while all of them, or most of them. do actually agree. But when disagreement comes the paper muni- ment is apt to lose some of its force.
 In q number of respects our own Federal constitution is as it was, but the thing the constitution intended is quite otherwise.
 ! There is the matter of choosing president, which was intended to be a function of the electoral college. and no longer is so, the college ex- isting as a shadowy phantasm of what it was intended to be.
 Property in slaves vanished with stroke of Lincoln's pen, but the con stitution read as it had read since the time of Jefferson.
 The election of United States Sem atops has been altered vitally as to method over a large portion of the Union, but the constitution reads as before.
 It would take iong time to tell of the dents which the Federal Supreme Court has made in the constitution, leaving out of account its annihila- ton of the Sherman law. which re- mains a perfectly good statute. reduc- ed to perfectly useless condition.
 There is danger in hating to know the truth.
 The miners have not asked parlia- ment to give them a minimum wage. They have asked their employers to do SO. The miners have not gone to the government. seeding aid. The government has come to the miners, asking them to abandon some part of their lawful rights in the English realm. and begs the privilege of pass ing a minimum wage law satisfactory to them.
 The reason Is very simple. The workers of England are so thoroughly organized. and there is such solidar- ity among them that they are able to cease from labor almost as a unit. The very structure of English society shakes because the will of the work CTS is not to labor. The complex functions of English civilization are halted, or suspended.
 Under such circumstances a govern ment cannot be bound by the past It must, as a matter of self-proiection and preservation, be guided by the need of the present

is awakened not merely because Mr..

but more especially because of the

North, coming from Tampa, Fla, and

and full of brilliancy. He sings high
D fiat with perfect ease and natural
ness.
The Savannah News of February 19,
says:
Mr.. Pransk sang with a wealth of
exquisite tone. Every tenor that has
ever made a name for himself in
grand opera possesses a timbre that
seems born with them, and Pranski
has it, together with the temperament
and style that will carry him far. Not
since Zerolla, of the Monhattan Opera
Co., appeared here two years ago has
Savannah heard Pranski's equal. The
Pagglacci number was magnificently
given and the applause which follow
ed it was a spontaneous tribute of a
we'll merited appreciation. Pranski
has the voice and ability to use it."
The Augusta Chronicle of February
13, says:
Mr.. Pranski, the Russian tenor,
has voice beautifully cultivated and
extremely rich and full. Many of his
notes, especially in his fine rendition
of the famous aria from Aida" re-
minding one of the tonal qualities of
Caruso. He received many encores." !"

SERVED
ON RESIDENTS
FOR PAVEMENTS
AS AUTHORIZED BY COUNCIL
As Regards MCGarrah and
Forsyth Streets

Notice has been served on the resi-
dents of McGarrah street who live on
that thoroughfare from the Central
railway station on throughout Brook
lyn Heights to the city limits and on
residents of Forsyth street that they
will be expected to pave their side
walks in accordance with a recent or
der of council to that effect.
The proposed paving of McGarrah
street on Brooklyn Heights has been
under consideration some time, so
that the residents OF that section have
been expecting the official order to see
to the paving of the sidewalks as ask
ed by the city as a result of councils
action taken some time ago.
The improvement that will be eff
fected in each instance will be mark
ed and will be we'll worth the expen-
diture that will be necessitated by the
laying of the sidewalks. 1t is with
the end in view of bringing these
streets strictly up to date with the
other streets of similar nature in the
city that pavements will be laid. That
the laying of the paving will greatly
appreciate the value of the property
goes withiut saying, and this improve
ment has been anticipated with pleas
ure for some time by the residents.
