g1iid that the time Is coming when the
world realizes that war between
two nations affects others than the
two nations involved, glad that the
time is coming when the world insists
that a nation cannot sit LC idly and
look on while two nations fight out
their differences without protesting
that they shall settle them by some
peaceful means, and if you give time
for the marshaling of the forces OF
public opinion you can promote peace.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Fine of $4,000 Imposed fer Substitute
ina labels.

Jacob, alias James Goldgraber, sa-
loon keeper, of $500 Market street, ST.
Louis, Mo-, recently indicted by the
grand jury for using Anheuser-Busch
Budweiser labels, taken from empty
bottles and putting them on bottles
containing beer brewed by other brew
ers and selling same as Budweiser was
convicted and fined $4,000 in Judge
MOore's court.
The case was vigorously prosecuted
by Campbell Cummings, and is the first
OF several similar proceedings in which
he will appear for the brewery. The
case was begun Monday and continued
Tuesday until the jury went out at $3.50
p. N. Within an hour and half YER
dict of guilty was returned against
Goldgraber, but Henry Stelman, who
was a co-defendant. was discharged.
The evidence showed that Goldgrab-
er owns the saloon and that Stelman is
employed as a bartender. The conten-
ton Of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
associations attorney was that his eli
ent suffered much annoyance and pc
cuniary loss by the practice of some
saloon keepers OF substituting Bud
weiser' labels for those of cheaper
grades of beer.

Why Run
the Hazard

of accepting personal security upon
bond, when corporate security is
vastly SUPERIOR
The personal surety may be fnan-
cially strong to-day and insolvent
tomorrow; or he may die, and his
estate be Immediately distributed.
In any event, recovery is dilatory
and uncertain.
Because of its greater stability, the
United States Government prefers
Corporate Suretyship. Follow its
example, and, when you require
suretyship of any kind, insist upon
having the bond of the largest COM
pany in the world whose business
is restricted to furnishing surety
ship obligations.

IS tradition that house on the corner of

when the British were in this city in
August. 1914. An old resident of the
neighborhood long a member of the as

boy of ten years of age when the British
invaded Washington; that he saw a num-
Der of orderlies take horses there for the

In 1903 the ground was valued at cents
by the corporation, but in 1907 half a cent
was the figure. In 1915 Catherine Hayes
bought the east half of lot .. and in the
twenties a $500 Improvement was assessed.
William A. Bradley bought three LOTS,

In the two squares-Nos 4S7 and 43S-
between F. and G, 9Th and 9th streets the
development was slow in the early part of
the last century. and that, too notwith-
standing, especially on and about the lat
ter square good brick was lying in wait
for pick, shovel and mold TO prepare it
for use in building. Possibly that condi
ton may have led to Pratt, Francis and
others. who in other portions of the city
had engaged in the development of prop
erty, to invest in the section in question,
but there is 70 evidence that any intention
to build in the squares mentioned ma
terialized. The squares, however, were de-
veloped by the corporation improving the
streets and private citizens building homes
and stores rapidly as the government
reclaimed the area now known as Judiciary
Square. The latter was an eyesore for
more than half century and the view,
eastward was not an attractive one. 1t is
true that upon it. north of the tool house
and watchman's quarters. was the old Jail.
erected in 1888. Until about 1880 the Jail
had no wall about it. The raviae through
which a stream coursing serpentinely

streets and thence to the Tiber near In
diana avenue and 1st street was attractive
manned open until about 1854, when, by
means CT an appropriation of $1,000 by
Congress, it hidden from the public
gaze. The following year a simple fence
was placed around the square and a brick
pavement laid but the interior of the
square was in a state of neglect for many
years. notwithstanding that about 1910
new Jail was erected within the lines near
9Th and G streets and was known by the
criminal class as THE Blue jug" The
cid jail became the Washington Infirmary
housing many soldier patients in the early
part of the war. 1t was destroyed Novem-

be done without cost to the purchasers of

guarantees that the improvements will be
completed as early as possible. The 18th

The houses will be designed after the
most modern ideas in suburban architec-
ture, combining all city conyenences. MIR.

1t may seem to be a trivial matter, and
one that is hardly worth the consideration
of municipal authorities. but after all IT is
the details that go TO make up the whole
and it is the perfection in the small mat
tiers that count in civic affairs Just as in
other directions. For that reason it is re-
garded as important that some attention
be given to the condition OF the strip of
land that in many of the streets of the
city lies between the sidewalk and the
curb.
The purpose of having such a free plac.
In the midst of the paved surface is of
course TO give an opportunity for additional
lawn space. The theory of this provision is
that the householder will give the same
care to the section of the street between
the sidewalk and the curb as he does TO
that which extends from the sidewalk to
the house. As a rule this expectation on
the part OF the District government Is real
lied. The average householder has sodded

Good Municipal Economy.
At the same time the municipal authorl-
ties have reduced the amount OF square
yards that 1T is necessary to cover with
pavement. and to that extent cut down the
cost and SO lessened the outlay of the public
funds for this specific purpose. On this ac-
count this device or new arrangement of
the sidewalk space in city streets will be
looked upon as a good piece of municipal
economy.
AS has been stated the expected co-opera-
ton of the citizens has not been withheld.

1t is a question whether such a consider

average house buyer such details as the
