Character building is more tn
money making.

A new man is coming on, too, as
we'll as q new woman. The new woman
has developed him. Thinking out among
my acquaintance, / recall at this mo-
ment number of young men whom
have the pleasure of knowing. They are
all strong, athletic young fellows, thor
oughly manly and fearless, They are at
the front in muscular games requiring
physical strength and quickness, They
are possessed of intellectual and finan-
cial ability which will give them sue
cess in the world. They are well edu-
Gated and cultivated, though not one of
them is Miss Nancy sort of person, or
priggish in the least. Yet these young
men are entirely healthful and clean
minded. The jokes of doubtful meaning
and the scandalous gossip which old
clubmen are said TO indulge in seem as
impossible to these charming, high
spirited lads as they would be to pure
minded woman. With women they are
courteous and comradelike and helpful
They think no evil toward women.
They recognize the equality of women.
May every blessing attend them through
life, and may their tribe increase!

a Great Nan und u Great Monumen

a great man went to his reward last
night when Enoch Pratt died. 1t may be
said tnat he was great because he was
wealthy. great because of his remarkable
administrative ability and financial keen
ness: great because he left behind him an
enormous estate and an unblemished repu-
Jation for honest dealing. But none of these
things will long be remembered. His ac-
complishments as financier will soon be
forgotten and his prominence in the busi
world will pale and dwindle into moth
ingness men who will be his successors
achieve distinction in the marts and ex-
changes. But the name and fame of Enoch
Pratt must live for many generations to
come because he was wise enough and
liberal enough to found great public libra
ry which is perhaps the most notable of the
Institutions upon which Baltimore prides it
self But for the Pratt endowment there
might even now De no public library in Bal
timore. because the men who build wisely
with their fortunes are few; today the Pratt
library stands in the front rank of such
beneficences and is likely to grow and to
last So long as our civilization and our
country endure. AS evidence of gratitude
Baltimore may erect statue of Enoch
Pratt but there is no real necessity for
such d memento. The library which bears
the dead mans name VIII be his most en-
during monument.
Who is the wealthy Washingtonian who
Will with similar wisdom and public spirit
iusepdrably associate his name and fame
with the municipal library of the capital of
the republic of which the foundations are
now being laid?

A prominent feature in the reign of the
overhead trolley has been the unanimity
of expression in electrical and engineer
ing journals whenever there has been Op-
portunity to compare the overhead trolley
system with anything that promised to
be an Improvement upon that crude ap-
plication of electricity to motor purposes.
No matter how meritorious any of the
new inventions seemed to be. their excel
lencies were invariably decried. but the
day of such slavishness Is departing and
there ere now several first-class publica-
tions which frequently admit that there
are better systems than the overhead troll
ley. OF these the Western Elec trician does
not seem to be one. for it says that the
electrical men are still undisturbed by the
recent attention paid to compressed air
traction because they believe that in the
essential feature Of economy the pneu-
matte system will never be in competition
with the overhead trolley. The Engineer
ing Record. though-an authority of high
rank-seems to be convinced that not only
he overhead trolley but the underg round
trolley and the cable systems also will in
the near future be superseded by q more
modern form of motor. 1t quotes facts
that show conclusively the lack of stabil-
ity in the older systems of street-car tram
sit and from conclusions thus deduced 1t
questions the perrnanence of the trolley
system. Says the Record:
We have heretofore expressed the opin-
ion that the electric trolley system is not
the ideai system that 1t has D, IN held by
many to be for handling the local passen-
ger traffic of a large city. The objections
urged of the unSightlineSS of overhead con-
struction and the speed at which cars are
run, have much weight nov as when
first Formulated" A system less noisy,
less unsightly. less dangerous. and more
economical IN operation. while still as
rapid as the one now in general use is
greatly to be desired, and may be consid-
cred among the possibilities Of the not
far distant future"
This is very much of concession 1t in
dicates that those great corporations which
have been the nnainsray Of the overhead
trolley system realize that they have about
reached the limit Of their personally profit
able endeavor to force the overhead trolley
upon every community. Here in Wash
irgton We are free from the murderous
nuisance which has afflicted 80 many other
cities. By persistently opposing every ef-
fort of the trolley magnates. we have, as
a result, rapid-transft facilities far in ad-
var ce of those possessed by any other city
| in the country. And it is among the pos
sibllities that we will In the near future
stride still further to the front in this very
| important matter.

Let silver Fight Its Own Battle.

The action of those gold men in Connec-
