A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

The opening of the public schools
with substantially increased en-
rollment again reminds US of the need
of increased school facilities. The i'm
provement in our school system III the
past few years has been wonderful
considering the unusual calls on the
city finances, but these improvements
only accentuate the inadequacy OF the
Accommodations of the old buildings.
The city now owns magnificent
site which council purchased SIX
month ago, recognizes the absolute
necessity of new building, ana
while it was not possible to erect the
building n time for the present SEES
sion, there plenty of time to have II
ready for the opening of the session
of 1918 and this should be done by all
means. Inorder to ACCOMPLISH thls
council should begin at once the pre-
liminary work of obtaining plans ana
estimates of the cost. With these be-
fore council and something definite
to proceed upon they will then be able
to arrange for raising the necessary
money for construction, which by the
way is no small task We do not ad-
vocatc the expenditure of large and
unnecessary amount, but comfortable
and sanitary accommodations should
be provided for the proper eeVelop-
men of the Drawn as we'll as the oraih
of the children of today who are to De

matter in charge present to councll

ed building and an estimate CT Ihe
cost. We cannot be too early IN our
preparations and we may be 100 laVe'

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
To the Editor Alexandria Gazette:

| /
Side-steping the you're the same, y
that the editorial in an evening paper
of Yesterday starts out with, we are
pleased to note that the paper real
ICES the position that the writer took
in trying to clear up the misinforma-
ton given it's readers in its two pre-
vious articles, and in its last article
distinctly and clearly states That it
had no idea or intention of insiEuating
that members of the Mt. Vernon As
ISOLATION received "any graft" from
the appropriation. 1t says:
eve meant to insinuate just The op-
posite." This is pleasing, but ";hy in
sinuate at all? Why not st;,,e in
plain unvarnished language tkat you
were after some one else, and desired
to benefit the Avanue and the .Essoci-
alton, rather than by inuen,.o and
misinterpretable words lead TIC peo-
ple to think that the Associat! was
to blame for the act Of the l.. glsla-
ture?
If it is a shortcoming not l. know
who 1.-THE agent is we admit lat we
short come, and in fact, if We are to
blame for not knowing what 20 one
seems to know, we think that ;.e edl-
tor of an up-to-date-two city 3aper,
is much more to be condemn.
We can hardly be led to Belle" that
the writer of the article is NJ; sutfi-
GENTLY acquainted with Lee .ativ!s
and Congressional procedure i know
that our statement in regard - the
necessity for representative - pre-
sent and push a claim, especi'"':? be-
fore Congress, is actually so, "ad no
one with a single idea as h." such
things are handled would for ;;.lment
doubt the necessity for such a: gent,
and the writer either shows ililing
memory or a lamentable ignc:"'ice OF
Legislative methods and necs ties.
Undoubtedly it is the duty the
Senators and Representative; . use
their influence, voice and vo:'- % as
sist their constituents in ."lrlng
their just dues, but the writ2, ;nows
that there are nearly 500 .:ators
and Representatives to be s@"' ana
that each State has much NO. than
one matter to look after, and @"nmon
intelligence would show that :. 'Toulo
be a physical impossibility :'2 the
Conpressmen and Senators t. .eVoIe
the time necessary to press : perry
such a claim.
In regard to the appointn. OF
gentleman from outside of tf!' ity as
agent, we have only to say ut we
have never had interest enc n III
the matter to ask why he a5 Sc
lected. A probable answer Eat De
that the members Of the a: adria
Bar were too much engaged = aiinS
for cases that carried cash &c % &C
cept one entirely contingent q which
also carried the necessity o: .Vanc-
ing cash to defray his indiv..'',.I ex-
penses.
If the writer can secure t entire
$4,000, surely no one in -: clty
or counties interested, much IS the
Association, will object.
AS the matter of toes be- sread
on. we are prepared to say IT, every
time one steps upon the goo'. ;'ame
and welfare of old Alexant q. they
step on our toes, and when "!y DO
we kick.

all times in the front Of intense po-
litical agitation. His leadership, while
aggressive, was always marked with a
courtliness and tact that won him ia
vOr from both sides.
When the recent crisis arose over the
passage Of the veto bill Mr.. Balfour
found himself for the first time at
odds with a considerable portion Of the
party he was leading. The supreme
test on the veto bill was its acceptance
or rejection by the house Of lords, and
II it were rejected the creation of a
large number Of peers to force it
through the upper house was certain.
In this emergency Mr.. Balfour was for
concession without forcing the issue Of
creating new peers, whereas Lord
Halsbury took the lead of the con-
sentative element known as the die
hards," determined to resist the veto
measure to the last. The policy of Mr..
Balfour prevailed, and the veto bill
was accepted by the house of lords.
The result, however, left a deep i'm
preston and much resentment in some
quarters, and it was felt that, however
wide Mr.. Balfour's concession had been
from a political point of view. it had
seriously crippled his leadership.
Andrew Bonar Law, who was cho-
sen to succeed Mr.. Balfour, was born
In New Brunswick on Sept. 16, 1853.
