organization work carried out.
The committee appointed more than a
week ago to look into the ACCESSIBILITY
change here reported last night as
heartily in favor of the proposition.
Charles w. Fairfax, chairman Of the
committee, said that the advice and opin-
ions Of a large number of real estate
brokers had been obtained, and they were
found to be strongly in favor of an ex-
change. The exchange would be great
benefit both to brokers and to real estate
owners in Washington, he said.
John l. Weaver urged the advisab.lity

experience of exchanges in fifty-five
cites" said Mr.. Weaver. They have
investigated certain practices and are
prepared to give us the results of their
Investigations This is only one Of the
many reasons why We should form an ex-
change"
william Corcoran Hill suggested that
in oreaniz:ng the association the question
of fees and commissions should play an
important part. He said he favored set
rules regarding such matters. Randall

Morris Fitzgerald and James F. Hood stat
ed that they believed the question OF fees
and commissions should not be given con-
sideration until after the exchange had
been formed Others were opposed to
having any mention of fees and commits
sions IN the bylaws Of the association.
b. II. Warner announced himself in
favor of the proposed exchange. and said
that he intended re-entering the real es-
tate field in order to become a member
of the exchange. 1t was upon his motion

tention of Judge Charles Mccall

number of persons summoned to
serve as petit jurors who hold
certificates as veteran hremen, or
persons who have served five
years in volunteer fire depart
ments ard by reason thereof are
exempt from jury duty under the
law and have to be excused from
service as jurors, thus putting
the taxpayers of this county to
an unnecessary expense, the court
made an order that the chiefs of
the respective fire departments in
the county compile and furnish to
the county commissioners a list of
such firemen SO exempt from jury
ddl ~ lilC Slld that luCll
may not hereafter be placed in the
jury box.
To assist the chiefs of the de-
partments in making up such lists
it is requested that each holder of
such a certificate report to the chief
Of h ic depart,uent 60 that his name
may be placed upon the list, as the
records of the department may not
show it.
A prompt compliance with this
request will enable the chiefs to
make out such lists and tend to
effect reduction of the expense of
holding a term of court.

Within two weeks it is expected
t hat the standard bearers of the
Republican party for the presl-
dency and vice-presidency will be
placed before the country. 1t
looks as if President Taft will be
re-nominated. Both he and
Roosevelt in our humble opinion
have made a serious mistake-the
former in becoming a candidate
after filling the position for two
terms, nearly, and the latter IN
tax ing the stump for re-nomina-
ton. The outcome of the con-
test between these two aspirants,
the vituperations, ordinations
and recriminations, the bitter
words and invectives have de-
tracted from their personality,
former high standing and effect
iveuess for future good. 1t would

crate leaders of the party woald
take timely council and aim to se
cure a man without these en-
tanelements for the nominee for
