PERSPECTIVE VIEW.


but as material prosperity increases. and
with 1t ambition for permanent invest
ments, the way is open for much more def
mite expression Of thought in building.
At this stage of development the natural
desire OF every citizen TO own property Of
the best possible appearance at the lowest
possible cost leads to what may he called
an architecture of pretense--an architecture
intended to appear better than it is. This
architecture, or more properly this method
Of building, has, without essential local
characteristics, spread over the entire occu-
pied territory 6f the west. 1t has met for
years, and will probably meet for many
more, all the practical requirements, apd
has nattered the crude artistic aspirations
OF millions of intelligent and exceptionally
ingenious and prosperous people. It must
therefore be considered at present the ver-
nacular art OF the country. Nowhere else
In the civilized world can be found any
thing resembling it. No people in the
world understands cheap construction and
economical methods Of building so we'll
and is SO inventive in providing for il. "A
thing Of beauty is JOY forever" but
thing Of cheap and vulgar ostentation. by "a
happy accident Of fate, finds speedy obiv-
ion.
A permanent home should be built with
care'and planned with special reference to
the wants and necessities of the family.
Let us have permanent homes built in ac-
cordance with the times and of modern
styles. IL Is essential TO health that the

10 Case In Court.
George Cox and Charles Potter were ar
raigned in the Sixth district court this
morning for assault on the person OF
Frank Gormley. They pleaded not guilty
and were held in the sum of 300 each fer
trial on Friday.
The case is the result OF trouble that
occurred on one OF the Olneyville street
cars few days ago. According to the
statement that was made by the railroad
men Gormley boarded the car IN an i'm
toxicatcd condition. AS he made himself
very obnoxious Cox demonstrated with
him and when he expressed desire to
fight be proceeded to protect himself.
Gormley claims, however, that the as
sault was unprovoked and that both of
the railroad men used him very roughly
when he was unable to protect himself.

Congressional Action on Wbiskey.
Democratic members OF the ways and
means committee at consultation with
Secretary Carlisle OH the whisky tax at
which he opposed increase for
reasons that the present law was in the
nature Of contract and 1t would be
unla full to increase or diminish the tax
while in bond. The secured consumption
of alcohol Is about fS milton gallons
year of which IL millions arc used i'm the
arts. Increasing the tax would give ID.
#. Co. the benefit of the increase. To
increase the tax would require raising of
an enormous sum to get whisky out
bond and the raising OF the sum
might create panic. Should the
tax be imposed on whisky in bond the in
evitable result would be an extension of
the bonded period.
