Beware Inflated h1dustrials

shrinkage of six dollars in profits means shrinkage of one hundred dollars in value. When these figures become sixty thousand dollars in profit per annum, the property is presumed to be increased one million in value It is at these valua- tions, at a time when the business is at high water mark of its earnings, the financiers float their corporations It is at this estimate the wise manufacturer Is willing to capitalize his plant and its trade.
 But if after the fat years the lean ones come, what then? Shrinkage in earnings will reduce dividends as a mat ter of law of trade and the price of the stock will be determined by the demand on the stock exchange Millions will be plotted out simply because the syndi-- cate originally sustaining the stock by buying and selling it. has sold to the public These shrewd financiers convert these shares as opportunity offers in real estate. government and railroad bonds. Millions of stock have been sold and their owners who have multiplied their wealth twenty times over are ready to take first mortgage bonds on real es- tate and on railroads at very low rate of interest They have expanded their wealth and converted into cash to a greedy public and then seek security in good properties even though it nomin ally reduces the interest rate to per cent per annum.

republic. Connected with the pools Is to be canal bordered by trees. At it's head will be site for a statue of Lincoln, to be surrounded by four rows of linden trees and to be the center from which a series of avenues shall radiate.
 The section of the Mall just west of the capitol Is to be provided with elaborate fountains and to be made the setting for a memorial to General Grant and per- haps statues to Sherman and Sheridan. The Pennsylvania Railroad has removed a great obstacle to the plans by consent ing to abandon it's line across the Mall, and 1t will probably unite with another road in a union station. The White Lot" is not to be seriously disturbed, though it may be planted with linden trees to produce an American Inter den Linden. The valley of Rock Creek is to be trans formed into one continuous park. The Anacostia and it's banks are to be re- deemed from the miasma and become water and land park, a part of the pro- posed system along the front of the Po- tomac River. Sites for new parks have been selected on the hills surrounding the city as well as in the congested dis tricts needing breathing spots. The city is to be girdled with winding roads, and there are to be fountains fountains ev- anywhere.
 The commission has also provided a harmonious plan. for future public build ines. It contemplates that scientific bu- reaus and their museums shall be housed in marble palaces scattered along the north side of the Mall. It is suggested that the space between the Mall and Pennsylvania avenue shall be devoted to such structures as a city hall, hall of records for government archives, a mod
The age-herald., 1902-02-16

ern market and an armory for the dis trict militia. It is proposed the latter shall face the White House lot, and shall be available for inaugural balls and other large assemblages.
 The esplanade east of the capitol is to be reserved for public buildings, and enough of these are already projected to complete the square indicated by the capitol and the congressional library. The spaces fronting on Lafayette Square are suggested for sites for department buildings and possibly for an office build ing for the President. The ground west of the White House lot and south of Cor coran Art Gallery is reserved for struc- lures of semi-public character, like the administration building of the proposed national university, for example. The commission insists these buildings shall be of such an artistic character as to make a harmonious whole.
 Public sentiment favors the beautlfying of the national capital, and 1t is prophe- sled that the plans of the Burnham com mission will be gradually executed. It is possible Congress will take up one fea- ture at a time, which will make the yearly cost inappreciable, but with the march of years a great progress will be made. The prevailing spirit is indicat ed by the action of the Secretary of War, who made his approval of two bridges over the Potomac subject to the endorse ment of the commission. The new build ing for the Department of Agriculture is to have a site on the Mall, and other structures have been delayed to await the conclusions of the commissions The project is drawn on a magnificent scale and contemplates making the American capital the proudest on the globe.

 Washington is to be the most beauti- ful city in the world. The decree has heen entered in the book of fate. The neonle of the United States have w1lled If. What the sovereign wills must be done. The Burnham commission has completed the plan.t The conditions are perfect: the time is ripe. It only remains for Congress to act
 Most national capitals grew. Washing ton is being made to order. Accident was not its father, nor human necessity it's mother. Neither were the nurses left to work out the problem of it's fate. Washington was planned with the ex- actnes of geometry. Nature endowed it with beauty, and art became its god mother. Washington. Jefferson and LEnfant were the triumvirate that de- creed it's form and future. They had prophetic vision and wrought for the ages.
 Washington is not finished. It is bare Iy a century old, merely an infant as nations capital. It has taken on much of the beauty bespolxen by it's trio of spon- sors It has already outgrown the de- rision once lurking in the title of the City of Magnificent Distances. It is about to enter upon new stage In US development. The American people have emerged from the bread and butter age as a nation. Public sentiment demands that Washington shall be made the City Beautiful that the noble beginnings shall be expanded and harmonlzeo lhto uhrN- aled glories.
 It was this sentiment which moved a Senate committee to appoint a commits siontto draw up plan for beautifying th' s capital. After conference with the In stitute of American Architects it selected Daniel H. Burnham of Chicago, Charle F. MeFim and Augustus St. Gaudens O New York and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr, of Brookline Mass. for that responsi ble duty. Happily these men had been as sociated in Chicago in devising the ex quisite White City of 1893 which afforded them experience on a large scale anc brought them into a harmonious spirit Quite properly, too. MT. Burnham, tho apostle of municipal beauty, was choser chairman of the commission.
 The commission went to Europe last summer to study the finest cities and parks of the old world It visited the Borghese Gardens, fingered on the broad terraces of the Villa d Este wandered among the still splendid ruins of Hadrian's Villa, glided along the Grand Canal of Venice viewed the magnificent Marie Theresa Platz at Vienna, pondered on the miles of stone quays curbing the Danube at Budapest, drank inspiration from the Grand Avenue des Champs Elysees. the Place de la Concord, and the Tulleries Gardens. admired the grounds at Yer sailles, saw the splashing fountains of yaux-le- Vicompte and enjoyed the noble woods of Windsor Great Park.

a celebrated North Carolina lawyer
who was practicing in a backwoods
mountain district.
While he was waiting for his case
to be reached the trial of a notorious
highway robber who had been caught
redhanded was called. The prisoner
had no counsel. and the presiding
Judge requested the distinguished law
yer to defend him. The trial lasted
two days, and to the courts astonish
ment the jury returned a verdict OF
acquittal. AS the prisoner was about
to be discharged, the lawyer stepped
up to the judge and requested few
words in private.
