The Building Boom Continues

Houses and apartments for 5O,0OO
families are being built each month
in New York. Construction work
valued at S5O,OOO,OOo is being insti-
tuted monthly in that city. The same
figures apply to Chicago. Reports
gathered by the Federal reserve
board show that building boom that
is sweeping the entire country began
in April and is gathering momentum
each month. Shelter Tor 100000 fam
lilies will be completed before autumn
if the boom continues at its present
rate. This, officials point out, should
bring material reductions in rents
and erase part of the national prob
lem that delevoped with the housing
shortage. Sharing in the building
boom, in addition to New York and
Chicago, are Philadelphia, Boston,
Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Rich
mond, Kansas City, Dallas, San
Francisco and Baltimore. In Boston
new construction is running more
than S16,OOO,OOO a month; in Phila-
delphia, $15,OOO,OOO; Cleveland, 1884,
100000; Richmond, Va, $4,000, 900,
and San Francisco about 100000, 900.

Pueblo Flood Preventable

Such disasters as the great Col
orado floods, which have causea
colossal damage to the city of Pueblo
and the surrounding country. Arc
happily rare. They are seemingly ca
far beyond mans control to prevent
that people regard them in the old
phrase as "an act of God" But &c
fact they are rare because thew aro
largealy preventable, if not entirely
so. Very probably there will come ,
time when science can make it ali.
solutely certain that no possible
water torrent will wash away a dan,
it has constructed. The whole conn.
try, the whole world, we may sun.
pose, will sympathize with Colorado
in this misfortune. Whatever helm
the state needs will certainly be forth
coming. We have been sending orr
largess to the ends of the earth for
the benefit Of suffering peoples. II
will be doubly and trebly available
for our own. No one need fear that
this disaster will have any permanent
effect on the splendid people of Col.
orado. San Francisco showed how
city could rise phoenix-like and more
glorious from it's own ashes. So. we
may be sure, will Pueblo rise from
the waters of desolation. Civilization
is largely the record of mans con-
quest of reluctant and often antagon-
istic nature. The breaking of the
Shaefer dam only makes it the more
certain that man will invent new and
better harness for one of the most
unruly of the elements.-New York
Mail.

Women Show Strength
in English Elections

English women in a number of
elections recently have made voting
record of almost one hundred per
cent. The cause of this unusual ac-
tivity is conviction on the part of
the women that there has been great
waste in the administration Of gov
ernmental affairs, and they are prov
ing their power to swing elections to
the candidate or group of candidates
who offer most hope for the kind Of
economy which gives the most return
for the money spent, compared with
the so-called economy platform"
which cuts down appropriations often
for vital needs, but continues a
wasteful system of managing and
spending the public funds.

against the personal character of any
of them, and l believe it is admitted
generally that all of them are COM
petent men to fill these places.
GAS l view it, the question for the
Senate to decide is whether or not l
have named men that are fit for the
bench.
81 cannot permit myself to be
drawn away from a perfectly plain
duty by adverse criticism, regardless
of whether that criticism comes from
the Democratic party or from the
Republican party.
Because of criticism, which, to my
mind, is absolutely unfair and unjust
Senator Wolcott has seen fit to re-
lieve me of the appointment which l
rendered him, and which he accepted.
l appreciate the spirit in which his
letter was written, but it is simply a
further evidence to me that he is the
man for the place.
"The Constitution imposes solely
upon the executive the duty and re-
sponsibility of selecting and appoint
ing the judiciary.
"The Constitution likewise inn
poses solely upon the Senate the duty
and responsibility for confirming or
failure to confirm the appointments.
"In naming these men have con-
scientiously performed my plain duty,
and l shall continue to do my duty
in this matter without fear and with
out favor.
81 have yet to be convinced that
fear, favoritism, disappointment for
friends or craftsmanship will prevent
the Senate from performing its duty.
81 shall leave the responsibility
! with that body by sending in the
names l have selected"

ance of this place on the Bench would
make it my duty to appoint his sue
cessor in the United States Senate
for a short time has given an OPP
portunity to his political enemies, as
we'll as my own, to contend that there
has been something improper in what
has been done.
$50 far as l am aware, it is not Of
great Importance whether Senator
Wolcott, who is a Democrat, is to be
in the United States Senate for the
next year, or whether some Repub-
lican shall occupy that place.
"Indeed, if there is any advantage
to the State at all, it seems to me
that it would be in having an addi-
tional Republican Senator there in
stead Of a Democrat. The admin
stration is Republican, and it is but
reasonable to expect that Republic
can Senator in Washington could do
more for his own State just now than
Democratic Senator could do.
"Some people are endeavoring to
create the impression that Senator
Wolcott was offered the place on the
Bench so that some particular friend
of mine might be named by me to
succeed him in the United States
Senate. Nothing could be farther
from the truth than this. If Senator
Wolcott's place should become vacant
l should consider the appointment of
his successor a political appointment,
and I should not think Of making
such an important political appoint
ment without getting consensus Of
opinion from the Republicans of this
State as to whom they desired me to
appoint. 1 have not attempted to get
any such opinion, and, if a vacancy
occurs, l should take sufficient time
to let that judgment of the Republic
can party to crystalline.
"The object I had in view was the
naming of the best man for the
Bench that l could find. I sought to
combine youth with experience and
thus bring forth the greatest eff
cheney. Not word has been said

GOVERNOR ISSUES
STATEMENT ON
JUDICIARY

Referring to the Judicial appoint
ments recently made, Governor
Denney has issued statement Of his
views and expresses determination
to submit the original list to the
Senate which meets on Monday, June
9th.
The statement follows:
81 made my selections for the
vacancies in the judiciary after a
most careful and conscientious con-
sideration. In this matter, l con-
suited directly and indirectly many Of
the prominent citizens of this State,
among them several members of the
bar. Every person I consulted, after
careful consideration, agreed that my
selections were as good as could be
made.
at has been my firm belief that
the appointments to the bench should
in no sense be political appointments.
A man who is a proper man to select

position in which he has been placed,
and knows that it is his business to
decide the facts and law as presented
to him, regardless Of former political
affiliations.
81 can't believe that there are
many persons in this State who are
so partisan as to think it important
whether the Chancellor of this State
is a Republican or Democrat. A
partisan judiciary, except in name, is
a thing Of the past.
"The most important thing is to get
men of personal character and habits
that are beyond question, and men of
judicial temperament and proper
legal training.
Senator Wolcott and l have been
close friends from boyho6d believe
him to be, and it is generally con-
coded that he is, one of the best
qualified men in the State for Chan
cellor, and it seemed to me exceeding
ly fortunate that he accepted the
position when l rendered it to him.

States Senator and tina this accept

country has just been issued, cover
