It looked for a time as If Uncle Sam would at last get such a building on square East 88, tc cost $2,500,000. But favorable action by congress lias been again postponed. The oldest Inhabitant cannot say when these excitements began, but It Is certain that as far back as 1S78 a quartermaster general of the army mAdea recommendation and actually drafted plans for the proposed structure. How the present excitement originated nobody seems to know. Apparently it began outside the membership of congress. Anyway the Washington Herald has been waging a campaign for the erection of an archives building. The Washington board of trade for years has actively advocated the erection of a worthy building. Its public buildings committee has recently appointed a special committee to lay the need before congress. The newspnper and the board of trade nppenr to have been stirred to fresh activity by the finding of the records of the first federal congress, badly dnmnged. In a musty room beneath the t' Tace of the cnpltol. Also the original Monroe Doctrine message has been put Into the hands of experts for treatment. It was kept In the files of the senate until It was falling to pieces from brittleness. This fact mny have helped the campaign. The secretary of state, very recently, declared he had no place to keep the sword of George Washington, the staff of Benjamin Franklin and the sword of Andrew Jackson. Whereupon congress passed r. Joint resolution turning over these three priceless relics to the Smithsonian institution for exhibition in the National museum. Representative S. D. Fess of Ohio made a speech not long ago in the house In behalf of an archives building and laid In part: Many documents, were they destroyed, could not be replaced at any cost. Up to date the United States has not taken steps to preserv them. There Is, no archives building In which tills material can he assorted and mnde available for officials and citizens, although the Importance of the project had been urged for years. Every. Important power In the world. In fnct, almost every civilised country, has provided a national archive for the documents marking its history. - This' Is true even of such countries as Cuba, Mexico, Colombln, Rumania. Russia, Norway, Sweden. Hungary and Portugal. Danger of destruction by fire Is constant under conditions of storage enrroundlng the majority of onr records. It Is surprising that fires have not been more frequent. But they have occurred several times, and In tbe summer of 1915 a fire In the geo ASHINGTON Out of the Dark who loves romance was walking along a country road witii a rather, dignified gentleman. He was telling her about the different people who lived In the scattered houses. The dusk was creeping on, and to the girl's The elrl delight blinking lights appeared In an occasional window. She loves to catch glimpses of life as she goes along, but th dignified gentleman said it was bad form to look In at lighted win logical survey burned up papers which It cost $100,000 to produce. It Is apparent from the frequent fires which occur In government buildings that these documents are In constant danger of total destruction." Mr. Fess emphasized his remarks on the dnnger of fire by appending a llrt of fires in government buildings filling a column and a half of the Congressional Record. It was apparently the passing of nn item in the appropriation bill for the executive office that started up congressional activity. It was a $5,000 Item for the building of a fireproof roof over the White House. In the Congressional Record Is this : Mr. Wood pt Indiana Tills $3,000 is for tbe purpose of preparing and providing plans and the building of a fireproof roof over the White House. It Is now n tinder box, and Inspection has demonstrated the fact that the rafters have slipped from their moorings and away froir their beams and are now resting upon the heavy walls The spnee that support them. the roof Is th.-- garret, In which there are thousands and thousands of volumes of records pertaining to this government and a grent many relics that are of rare value that have been contributed to the various presidents from time to time and that have been stored t..ere. The place is now so inflammable that it would burst into flame If a spark should happen to light there and not be discovered. To me the amazing thing Is that In the Improvement pf the White House which was made a few years ago nothing was done with reference to making the roof fireproof. Mr. Fess The very thing the gentleman Is presenting nrgues to me the necessity of an archives building. Is there any prospect of having a permanent housing of the records that the gentleman speaks of? Mr. Wood of Indiana The only thing I know of that points in that direction is a report submitted to the senate a few days ago with reference to the necessity of It. There Is no question of the necessity. It Is an amazing proposition when we take into consideration the fnct that the records of the Treasury department of the United States are lodged in the basements and npper stor'es of 27 different buildings, in this ci Mr. Fess The buildings where these records are stored are not fireproof. are they? Mr. Wood of Indiana. No; and some of the recordr are in cellars. Then the senate had a long debate over this Item: For Installing 15 stories of filing stacks In the Interior court of the Pension Office bulMing.

A light shone forth from a window, and us they the girl said : hook, there's a woman In the room!" The dignified gentleman Ignored her invitation. There's a man coming Into the room!" she exclaimed ns they wnlked Tou shouldnt look past the house. In. said the dignified gentleman severely. She gave a backward glance. Hes kissing her, she triumphantly Senator Wnrren explained that the stneks were badly needed because there was no archives building. Senator Smoot said the filing stacks could be put into the archives building when It should be erected. Several senators talked eloquently of the needs of an archives building. Senator Smoot said that If he did not know that the Pension building stneks would save the government $500,000 a yenr he would tot ask for the Finally Senator Poindexter offered this amendment: ... For the construction of a national archives building In the city of Washington, District of Columhla, on squnre East 88. Including mechanical equipment and the draft'ng of plans and sr educations, which plans and specifications shall provide for a building not to erceed $2,500,000 In total cost. $500,000 of said sum to h disbursed and the building to he constructed under the direction and supervision of the supervising architect of the treasury." This amendment,; was taken up tjie next day and caused a very' long do- bate. Senator Norris .said,: among other things: Mr. Norris Mr. President, twenty years ngo I came tv the house of representatives. - was put on the committee on puldic buildings and grounds. One of the first things I ever did officially was to listen for several days to gentlemen talking In favor of an archives buiding. They showed that we had all kinds of documents that were in danger every day; thnt we might have a fire before night and mr.ke the government absolutely- bankrupt; and therefore thnt we had to have nn archives building, and have It at once. ' There was- - a grent propaganda' In 'favor of It In the city of Washington. Every newspaper was ill led with articles demonstrating the necessity of an archives building to save the old records. For days and days and months and months thnt went on; and these people came before thnt committee, composed of some good men and some suckers like me, and they poured that kind of nrgument Into us until we We thonght the were frightened. government was going to fall. I did not sleep nights for fear a fire might take place and the whole thing might go up In smoke, anti I could net hurry fast enough to help get thnt bill out of the committee. We reported It ; me provided for tie purchase of a estate;' and the propasquare of real ganda for a- nrchlves, building died the very minute we passed the bill nnd .appropriated the money, to buy tbe land upon which we should hulid it. After debate ns to whether the Poindexter amendment was In order It was brought out that the building was authorized by nn act of March 4. 1918. Then the question of whether the Pension building wns fireproof was fiercely debated. Senator FrePnvhuy-sen- . who is In the insurance business, had the Inst wonl nnd said that In the etent of n fire In the Pension building the Are would spread nnd could not be extinguished. Finally the Semite accepted both building propositions the . Persian stack and the Poindex'ter amendment. But both propositions were killed Considerations of, in conference. economy had weight; also the fact that such amendments as the Poindexter amendment would destroy the new budget system. declared as the dignified gentleman her arm and drugged her rego Journal. luctantly seized nfong.-rCliIcn- No Bird Censufc ?
