The renting of house and pay
Ing for the same Is one of the ever.
persistent conditions that disheart
ems mankind. A considerable pro-
portion of the human family con.
tents itself with life In a tenament
house, finding some satisfaction In
complaining of the monthly outlay
required.
At the beginning of each new
renting year the complaint of house
rents takes on fresh virulence, and
subsidies as the moving popu
lace finds itself established In
new quarters. The complaint Is
not local; II reaches to the larger
cities and all communities where
one man has house to rent and
another needs a house and has
none. Now there Is but one salts.
factory way to settle the question
of rents, and that Is for one and all
to become house-owners. When
every man has roof of his own
over his head, he will have no
quarrel with his landlord. He will
file no protest against the monthly
dues and make no appeals for new
paper and repairs.
With the facilities that are offered
for building homes now it Is with
In the reach of almost every family
to be housed In Its own home. De.
sirable building lots can be bought
In many parts of the city and sub.
urbs at very reasonable terms. The
same also can be said In regard to
the purchase of material for the
erection of a home, and the man
who has little money to make a
preliminary payment can accom-
plish the balance If he will only
use proper economy and persever-
ance.
A house Is an incentive to save
money. Itinspires every member
of the family to help In making the
house as complete and desirable
and pleasant as possible A few
inexpensive touches here and there,
from year to year, make a resi-.
dence such as Is not to be rented,
as landlords as a rule do not make
homes but merely houses. The In
dividual who objects to paying
rent can settle the matter for all
time If he will only call to his as
sistance a little resolution. Again,
he can settle the annoyance and
expense of moving every few
months. A home has many more
comforts and attractions and n ore
valuable qualities than simply af
fording shelter. Hence, let all those
who have no home make an effort
to secure one during the approach
Ing summer, and by doing so they
will not only add to their personal
comforts, but also to the appearance
of our growing city:l

The Edward VII.

The English are counting on having a
free slip at Portsmouth in March, when the
battle ship Edward VII will be laid down,
which is planned as the most powerful YES
sci in any navy. If she requires four
years for completion, 1t Is possible that she
will not long retain the supremacy of the
sea.
The Germans are pushing their shipbuild-
ing program rapidly. During the past year
they launched five first-class ships, Of
which four-the Wetting, Zaehringer
Schwaber and Mecklenburg-are battle
ships, and one, the Prinz Adalbert a.
cruiser. Besides these, a gunboat and sew
eral torpedo boats and destroyers have
taken the water.
France has continued her program of
construction steadily; but a party in the
corps legislatif has determined to oppose
the completion of the vessels planned but
not yet begun. What the result of this op-
position may be cannot be predicted 1t is
led by former minister of marine and is
apparently powerful; but it seems hardly
likely that the country will stop, even tenn
porarily. its traditional naval course.

launched two battle ships OF the first class
the Maine and the Missouri, two coast de-
