The risk is not 50 great In CAL
ifornia as in the Northern States.
Thus a high building inclosing
heavy steel Orders and beams in
Duluth and Chicago must be
builded with greater care on this
important point than at any place
in California in more equabie
temperature. Thus, In Chicago
the cold has been 80 degrees be-
low zero, Fahrenheit, and 104
above, difference of 1876 degrees.
Scientific tests have been made
with this result: A bar of ordi-
nary structural steel increases it's
length by the .J000O672 part with
each added degree Fahrenheit.
Therefore, in from eight to fifty
story buildings, with widths from
40 to 200 feet, these variations
become quite appreciable and
must be compensated for by
placing ends of beams, bars and
uprights free t. move. And cleo
trolysis OF steel and iron is an
other danger, one that arises from
fugitive currents of electricity es-
Gaping from mains and forming
obscure circuits in buildings and
pipes.

MAYOR AND FIRE CHIEF.
Editor The Georgian;

Editor The Georgian;
Our Fire Chief says the Mayor
accused him OF wrongdoing
accepting rebates for his personal
profit and to the city's loss: that
the Mayor instisated an investi-
cation by Council; that the Gem
eral Council appointed a commit
tee who spent weeks in taking
testimony IN the case. under oath,
and who. after thoroughly exam
lining into fine merits of the case,
found him NOT GUILTY; that
the report of that committee was
approved by the General Council,
but vetoed by the Mayor, AND
WAS PASSED OVER THE
MAYORS VETO. and that the
Mayor still pursues and perse-
cutes him because of personal III
feeling. and even talks to the men
in the Fire Department about him
in such a way as is injuring the
Chiefs influence with his men.
The Mayor comes back at the
Fire Chief and practically admits
the foregoing as true, but asserts
that the committee appointed by
the General Council was biased
in their investigation and that
the investigation was conceded to
be farce.
Now, I submit that this changes
the Mayors case from one against

\ KINGS MEDICATION

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 On the issue of providing Sweden with a more adequate national defense, King Gustavus caused the resignation of his government and the dissolution of Parlia ment. The King was supposed to have the support of the rural districts, while the cities were counted as friendly to the government. It was regarded as an act of great temerity for constitutional monarch of the twentieth century actual ly to play personal part in the gov erning of his country.
 The elections which have just been held in Sweden may be interpreted as a great personal triumph for King Gustavus. The liberal party, which was in power has lost 3l seats. The conservatives who were the supporters of the King, have gained 22. The socialists have gained nine.
 In the new Parliament the conserva- tives will have a larger representation than any other party. It does not neces- sarily follow that will form the govern ment. A coalition of liberals and social ists would outvote the conservatives. Such a coalition is probable, though not cer- tain. If the socialists permit the liberals to establish government they will doubtless demand large concessions, and it is possible that the liberals will not be prepared to meet their demands. In- asmuch as both liberals and socialists are opposed to the Kings policy they should be able to establish some kind of a work ing agreement.
 The position of the King will be strengthened, no matter how the govern ment is formed He has proved himself to be a man of strong personality, and not a mere figurehead. His opinion on matters of policy will be respected, and his acquiescence will not be regarded as a mere perfunctory formaity.
 Kings of today are not the real execu- tives of their realms. Their authority is delegated to their ministers, and their powers are not materially greater than were those of the Japanese Mikado under the shogunate. If they are men of strong character their influence is felt indirectly, and not by direct interfer- ence with the affairs of government Gustavus of Sweden, actually exercising the functions of kingship, is something of an anarchronism

Judge Thomas G. Jones

In the death of Thomas G. Jones, four years governor of Alabama and since 1901 United States judge of the northern and middle districts, the state loses gentleman of noble in tegrity, wide intellectual attainments and uncommon force of character.
 He was born in Georgia, but when he was six years old his parents re- moved to this state and made their home in Montgomery. Judge Jones was educated at the Virginia Military institute, from which he graduated in 1862. Entering the Confederate army at the age of eighteen he early distin- guished himself and toward the close of hostilities attained the rank of major. He was several times severely wounded and his war record through out was brilliant and heroic.
 Shortly after the war, Judge Jones established himself in law practice at Montgomery and from that time he was an active participant in the af- fairs of the Alabama democracy. While yet a young man he was a leader in the legislature, finally be- coming speaker of the house.
 AS governor his resolute personality was conspicuous. He had a large capacity for business and few men in public life ever possessed more varied talents. His administration was nota- ble for it's constructive policies as we'll as for its vigor.
 While Judge Jones was essentially man of action he was at the same time tireless student. He loved his profession of law and after coming to the bench was reckoned among the foremost members of the federal ju- dietary, north or south.
 In the role of controversialist, which he sometimes played, Judge Jones was unsparing and singularly incisive, but in private life he was a genial comrade and his conversation was charming
 Alabama will deeply mourn the death of Thomas Goode Jones.
