THE WARM WEATHER
 STARTS BUILDERS
Building Inspector Mathews Issued Fourteen Permits Yesterday for
 Various Kinds of Construction

The warm weather of yesterday brought the prospective builders out on masse and Building Inspector W. O.. Mathews issued permits for the con struction of If buildings. The total cost of the buildings is s19.S00, which, in the opinion of MT. Mathews, is a pretty good days work. Although none of the permits issued yesterday were for large buildings, the plans are for substantial dwellings. The Southern railroad will fulfill a long desired need Of Ensley in the erection of a new depot at that place. The citizens of Ensley have been after a new depot for a long time and succeeded in getting the new building a short time ago. The permit for the construction of the de- pot was issued yesterday. the cost to be $2500. As one of the business men of Ensley put it: "The present South ern depot in Ensley won't accommodate more than two people at time;' on account of its narrow dimensions. The new depot will be entirely along mod ern lines and will be situated at the corner of Nineteenth street and Rail- road avenue.
 number of real estate men obtain ed permits for constructing buildings yesterday for renting purposes and there are number of more under con temptation.
 If the warm weather continues, MT. Mathews expects to do rushing busi- ness along the permit line.

 The hotel will contain about $50 rooms and will be of steel construction AL though not definitely decided, it is stated that the hotel will be either 10 or l2 stories high.

Like a bolt from the calm blue sky came the announcement yesterday that the Roden Hotel company had been incorpo- rated for the purpose of erecting a $1,OO0,- 600 hotel at the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street. The site of the hotel a heavy subscriber to which will be the B. F. Roden estate, will be where the residence of the late B. r. Roden now stands. That structure will be torn away for the hostelry, which will cost no less than $1,00O,000.
 The announcement of the new hotel came from Robert McDavid, head of the real estate firm of McDavid, Meyer Gold man & Terry. who, speaking for the hotel | company, pointed out that Otto Marx &- Co, local bankers, had financed theabond- ed part of the project, and that ground will be broken as early as consistent. Otto Marx last night telegraphed The Age-Herald as follows from New York: T agreed to take bonds for Roden hotel"
 The incorporating company is headed by Eugene Flies, president; l. Groom Beatty, vice president and Robert McDavid, sec retary and treasurer. This organization is for the formative period of the pro- posed hotel and will doubtless be changed when the organization is made permanent.
 The building will occupy a site 150 feet by 14O feet, corner Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street. The plot bought will measure 250 feet by 40 feet, which will leave 100 foot plot for future additions or for sale if that is considered adA visable. The house upon the plot at this time cost S60o0o to build, and is at present occupied by Mrs. Roden and MT and Mrs. Jack Bowron. That home will be de- stroyed

Attorney General Miller before leav-

There having been some discussion
as to the right to file petitions for

ney General Miller said that while
there was no provision in the law
for filing petitions for alternates or
even for their election, he could see
no harm in their names being put on

be done anyone and it would safe
guard the full representation of the

lately that people who buy have got
rude enough to do that. Clerks always
did It with coin that customers gave
them, but that was a prerogative Of
the trade. For the customer to assume
the same privilege Is usurpation Of
ancient rights. The worst Of 1t Is
most people nowadays are pretty good
judges Of bad money, and every little
while a coin Is refused because 1t is
counterfeit. The only way tradesmen
can teach customers the respect due
them Is to turn their own backs when
testing money. That has always been

GOOD ROADS Law. IN
5. DAkOIb.C0uNIIES

PIERRE, Feg. 5.-The good roads
convention at Deadwood renews state
interest in the good road" law enact
ed at the last legislative session. So
far as can be learned a about eigh-
teen out of the f1fty-seven organized
counties of the state, the county COM
missioners submitted the question to
the voters, but it is claimed that in
many of these counties the submits
sion was only on petition of major
ity of the voters and that the names
presented did not include the names
of majority of the free-holders. and
that in such counties there may be
tests of the question in case their &C.
ton should at any time interfere with
the progress of road projects in this
state. Beside the counties in which
the question will be submitted next
fan, attempts were made to carry the
proposition failed in several counties
for lack of names on the petitions
presented.

COLLEGE LIFE TODAY,
Student Ideals Much Higher Than
They Were Fifty Years Ago.


Not only upon the shields of our
American universities do we find
'veritas." In spirit at least it is also
clearly written across the face Of the
entire college life Of our times. Cen
tlemanliness. openmindedness, original
ity, honor, patriotism, truth-these are
increasingly found in both the serious
pursuits and the play life Of our Amer
lean undergraduates. The department
in which these ideals are sought is not
80 important as the certainty that the
student Is forming such ideals of thor
oughness and perfection.
Furthermore, the standards Of morals
and conduct among the American uE-
dergraduates are perceptibly higher
than they were fifty years ago. There
is very real tendency in the line Of
doing away with such celebrations as
have been connected with drinking and
immoralities. To be sure. one will al
ways find students who are often
worse for their -haccchic. associations.
