AN ALEXANDRIA MONUMENT
TOITHE FIRST PRESIDENT


people in their desire to the memory of
their greatest citizen he known among their
fathers
The design suggested for the proposed monument
is unique and while similar monument could not be
erected with proprety except in Washingtons home
town-which would today contain the Capitol of the
Nation except for the innate modesty of Washington,
who expressly stipulated that of the public build
ings should be erected the Virginia side of the Po
tomac for the reason that if they it might en-
hance the value of his estate and that of his
wfe's children and grandchidren-yet every survey
or every fireman, every Mason, every farmer-yes
every citzenn this country must feel interest in
this movement to properly commemorate the centen-
airy of the death of Washington
The various designs the pedestal, handsomely
and appropriately executed, will be very expensive
and while the city council and the people of Alexan
dria have responded literally toward this fund.- and
promise to do still the association, feeling
bic do justice the occasion and the with the
funds at their command applied to Congress to have
struck at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Il
Washington memorial half dollar, and offered to de-
fray all of the expense of material and mntage,
hoping to sell the same to coin collectors at a prem
ium.
AS the multiplication of coins is discouraged by the
Treasury Department, for valid reasons, the House
Committee Coinage, Weights and Measures of
which am member, after due consideration adopt
ed the suggestion of the Secretary of the Treasury
and substituted medals for coins.
Believing that this movement is that should
commend itself to every citizen think is eminently
proper that Congress should aid the association in
the manner suggested, especially Congress has
in any manner noticed the centenary of Washingtons
death. This action, trust, Will taken by the pres
Congress.

II overheard a Boston gentleman say
that the President shOuldn', have taken

gtituents Mr.. Teller is medium sized

heads to walk under the electric chande-

Senator Spooner. who is the shortest
man in the Senate except Mr.. Simon of
Oregon was astonished at the size OF Mr.

long to the Lilliputians."

Insurance Figures

Few people have any idea Of the enor-
nifty of the insurance business of the
United States. 1t not only exceeds that
of any other country. but is twice as great
as that of all of the rest of the world
combined. At the present time there is
in the United States about $l2.00 0o0oo 600
of life insurance in force including as
sessment business. This means over $3.50
for every man. woman and child in the
country. or $500 for every family. The
annual risks written by the fire insur-
ance companies are estimated Al S2e.0oO .
GEO, which is $3.50 per capita. or 81 2oO per
family. Thus II viii be seen that every
family in the country. on an average. has
insurance assets Of over g. 200.
