AMERICAN CADDISHNESS.

IHefe is III lnlS country Il society
known as the daughters of the
Revolution" The membership con-
slsts of female descendants of re-
volutlonary patriots 1t is a cad
dish sort of society. Instead of
seeking to perpetuate the principles
and to intensity the love for human
liberty and equality for which their
"ragamuffin" ancestors suffered and
died, instead of trying to make
toryism as odious to this genera
ton as it was to that, the highest
ambition of these frivolous "daugh-
ters" OF serious ancestry seems to
be to perpetuate the fact that they
are "descendants.' How worthy
OF such descent they are is indicated
| by the tuft hunting spirit in which
they publish message from the
private secretary of King Edward
the great mans great man--in
reply to their message of coincidence
on the occasion Of the death of
Queen Victoria. In publishing it
in the March number of the Patri-
Otic Review-a sort of organ of simi-
lar societies-they describe it as "a
gracious acknowledgement from
King Edward Here it is:
The private secretary is command
ed by the king to express his majes-
tvs thanks to you for your loyal
letter of sympathy from the Daugh-
ters of the Revolution.
The kings private secretary, un-
consciously no doubt, was cuttingly
sarcastic when he described the
sympathetic letter of the "Daugh-
ter of the Revolution" as "loyal."

THE SOURCE OF MONOPOLY.

by neat Crlck, made possible
by its enormous wealth, the Stand
ard Oil company has headed off
threatening rival in the Texas OF
field and made itself absolute master
of the situation. 1t has bought uE
the wharves, railroad terminals anC
shipping facilities at Port Arthur
the natural shipping port of the
Beaumont field, together with 90,
OOO acres of land in the vicinity,
which is doubtless located IN such
a manner as to preclude any at
tempt of the Texas oil men to es,
tablish a new outlet. 1t would
not be profitable for them to ship
their oil to tidewater at more dis
tant point, and hence they are at
the mercy of the Standard, and
must sell their product to it at it's
own price. This is how the ideal
trust overcomes competition
Philadelphia Ledger
The Ledger we'll points out the
methods by which these sort of
schemes are worked and by which
monopoly gets control of the sour
ces of production, but it doth err
in saying that this move of the
Standard Oil company has been
made possible by its enormous
wealth.
Wharves, railroad terminals and
shipping facilities are naturally
and inherently public property. No
individual nor corporation can get
possession or control of such things
except by means of special char
ter, which means grant of special
privileges.
If the state of Texas and the city
of Port Arthur had retained in
their own possession that which
belonged to them, the wharves,
terminals and shipping facilities, it
would have made no difference
what the wealth of the Standard
Oil Company was, they would have
had no better chance in the field
than other concerns.
1t will thus be seen that mono
poles stifle competition, not by
reason of their enormous wealth,
but through their ability toget from
grants of special privi-
leges.
Had the people of Texas and
Port Arthur had the matter in their
own hands this could have been
and an immense benefit
secured, not only for the state of
Texas, but for the whole nation.
But as it is under our present form
If government the people have no
7oice in the matter. Our consti-
ution grants to a handful of legis.
ators the exclusive privilege Of leg
stating, and this handful of legis-
ators grants to corporations ex-
'lusive privileges in controlling the
sources of wealth.
So it will be seen that monopoly
'ests on Legislative grants Of privi-
eges, and Legislative grants of
to corporations rest on
he constitutional grants of privi-
ege to legislators.
To get rid of the monopoly strike
t the root, the constitutional grant
t privilege to Legislators. The

time, and its furnishings were corre-
spondingly expensive and elaborate.
In the center of Lafayette square
stands the equestrian statue of Gen.
Jackson, and its history is told by
guides who know the struggle of
Mills, the sculptor, to produce it.
Clustered around that square are
many houses made famous by his
toric happenings. On the north side
is the Decatur residence. in the IL
brary of which the brave old commo-
dore died from wounds received at
Bladensburg in the duel with Com
modore Barron. Diagonally across
the street is the former home of w.
w. Corcoran, the philanthropist. a
house subsequently occupied by Ban
croft, the historian; Senator Brice, of
Ohio, and Secretary of War Alger.
On the northeast corner of the
square is the Cosmos club house. 1t

met him and killed him while he was
signaling for Mrs. Sickles to meet
him.
AT the corner of Eighteenth street
and New York avenue, which was
also part of the Burns estate, stands
the "0ctagon, zone of the Oldest resi-
dences in this city, which was built
by Col. John Taylor in 1903, being
then surrounded by primeyal forest.
This house was rendered to and occu-
pied by President and Mrs. Madison.
in 1914, after the white house had
been destroyed by British troops. For
two years it was de facto the execu
tive mansion.
The capitol building having been
destroyed at the same time, a trio
of houses on capitol hill was rented
and fitted up for the use of congress,
and has since been known as the ''old
capitol" Subsequently this was
popular boarding house, and here
John C. Calhoun died. During the
civil war it was used as military
prison.
No. POI I street, northwest, is a mas
sive home which was built by Senator
Douglas. of Illinois; and there Douglas
said: THE adjournment of the con-
ention from Charleston to Baltimore
means disunion." After that, although
he made splendid campaign for the
president against Lincoln, Douglas did
not expect to be elected. The last dis
tinguished occupant Of this house was
Cardinal Satoli. On the same square
there is handsome home which was
given to Gen. Grant by New York
friends, and there he lived until he
moved into the white house.
You should also see the former
residence of Salmon p Chase. secre-
tary of the treasury, and chief justice
of the supreme court, whose daughter
Kate almost rivaled Dolly Madison in
beauty and grace as an entertainer.
That brilliant and happy home has
seen vicissitudes. TWAS for number
of years a popular boarding house, and
then club house. One block south of
it is the Webster law building; so
named because it was the last Wash
ington residence of the famous sena-
tor-orator from Massachusetts. Near
by, on the same street, is the hotel
home of Henry Clay, where the gifted
Kentuckian lived for more than a score
of years. and where he died. His room
is preserved just as he left it. All of
these places are now far from the
fashionable residence section; but in
the days Of their eminent occupants
they were in the center of the social
swirl, and within their halls were many
gatherings such as we now have in
newer walls. where youth and pleasure
meet to chase the glowing hours with
flying feet.
Modern Washington is interesting
OF course; but you will be entertained
and instructed by seeing the ancient
city of our new republic, and you must
surely see il some day.
