There was one advantage he asserted, he

thus making for full acquaintance on
each side. The outlook of the new min

pEMuRs TO ROOSEVELT PRAISE.
Missouri Senator Pleads for Party
Harmony.


Five hundred Missourians. including 100
Missouri editors, attended banquet last
night In Kansas City given by the Missouri
state Democratic Press Association to COM
memorate the birthday anniversary OF
Thomas Jefferson The principal speakers
were Gov. Joseph w. Folk, Senator Stone,
Charles A. Towne of New York and Charles
w. Knapp of the st. Louis Republic. All
the sneakers made a plea for party har-
mouy in the state, and and all predicted
that at the next election Missouri would
again be found in the democratic column.
In a speech at the banquet Senator Stone
lamented the fact that In the three large
cities of Missouri, containing one-third OF
the people OF the state, only one daily news
paper out of the total of ten pretended TO De
democratic.
Turning to national politics, he averred
that President Roosevelt's administration
ought not to inspire democratic aduiation
He added
Although obtrusive. audacious and spec

by yacillation, not steadfastness; by vain
glory, not solid worth. For whatever he

he is right, but 1 shall not court him with

that grand old party am content to stay.
Gov Folk, in the course of his address,
said:
''Jeffersonian democracy means the rule
of the people, not of any class, nor of any
clique, nor of any special interests. When
ever the people cease to rule anywhere. and
gangs and bosses govern instead, then spe-
ciaf privileges and corruption. which springs
from special privileges. as necessary con-
sequence follow. jefferson announced the
cardinal doctrine of democracy when he de-
clared for equal rights to all; special priv

essential element of good government"

Quincy Smith and formerly the 14th street
wing OF the Office of the American SECURITY
and Trust Company. According to the de-
signs as made by b. F. Meyers, architect.
the remodeling which is to be done is TO
prepare the building for use again for
banking purpose. AS Mr. Smith Is the
president of the Washington Savings Bank

of the property was made in the interests
of these institutions. 1t is believed that as
soon as the 14th street building is ready
for use that both of these institutions Will
be removed to this location.

Meeting Payments Promptly.

Is one of those puzzling questions to which
no satisfactory answer has as yet been
found
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-14


Meeting Payments Promptly.
In consequence OF this condition OF things
the city has grown by leaps and bounds.
and where comparatively a few months age
/ there were only commons and unopened
streets there are today rows of houses and
streets cnrbed and planted with trees. even
IL in all cases the pavement has not been
put down. Some of these houses have been
sold on terms that seem from some points
of view TO invite disaster to the purchaser
or at least great risk by reason of the fact
that the cash payment has not had tina!
ratio TO the total amount Of the purchase
money which Is generally insisted upon in
such transactions.
But experience has already demonstrated
that those who bought even under such
terms have been able to carry the property.
for otherwise there would be displayed the
red flag of the auctioneer. and a check
would be given to the entire business OF
building houses for sale. But nothing OF
the sort has taken place. In other words,
the present movement has all the earmarks
of being based on solid grounds and Is evil
dertly the effect of demand which is real
and genuine. The city is growing, and
people-hence the fine market for houses
which has been in existence for such a
period and is still here
Equel to the Occasion.
The same thing may be said in regard to
apartment houses. which have had such a
marvellous vogue and which are still going
up. 1t would have been impossible to build
half the number of the structures IL 1t had
not been that the need for them existed.
IN fact. the readiness with which both
houses and apartments have been taken up
furnishes in Itself convincing proof of the
condition of the market. The way the
builders and real estate agents have adapt
ed themselves to the change in the stu
alton is also something that Is worthy oil
note. for it is not the easiest thing in the
world to perceive the significance of changes
going on In the place where one lives. As
q rule when a city is undergoing trans
formation in a material way it Is as rule
the men who come in from other places who.
seeing the trend of affairs, avail themselves
of the opportunity. In this instance the men
seem to have developed with the market,
and the progress made by the city Is owing
to the efforts of citizens who have foreseen
what was going on and have had confidence
ia their judgment.
Residence of Mr.. McKim.
A private residence of larger size than
the average has just been completed for
Mr.. Duncan McISinl. 1t is located at the

Market for Vacant Land.

land In that locality which Stone & Fairgax
has recently sold. aggregating over 10000
square feet.
Market for Vacant Land.
While good deal of unimproyed property
changes hands from time to time, and it
therefore has place in the market still,
owing to circumstances, 1t does not have
that leading position In investment trans
actions which it sometimes has. There are
two reasons given for this change In the
extent of the demand for unimproved prop
erty. One is that the cost of building has
tended of late to more and more throw
the building of houses into the hands of
men who make business of such under
takings. There is another reason assigned,
and that Is the buying element In the mar
ket at present seems mainly to want homes
or else property that yields an income.
OF course there is a market for unim-
proved property, but compared with
what used to be here, as well exists
in other places, the conclusion has been
property has the favorite place in the es-
timation of buyers.
Another building enterprise that is going
on is the erection of eleven three-story
houses on the south side of T street be-
tween nth and 18th streets northwest. The
builder is Mr.. John NJ. Henderson.
As to Speculative Buying.
market as has been shown during the en-
tire period of the present activity which
has lasted now for a year or two is the
entire absence of any speculative buying.
Ii is not meant that speculation has been
entirely absent from the market, either in
the buying of land the purchase of
houses. What is intended to be said in
this connection Is that there has heeu no
speculation as far as the general public Is
concerned.
That era seems to have passed when
acreage property could be bought up and
then peddled out in city lots. OF course,
there has been some of this going on, and
II is likely to continue so long as the growth
of the city goes and there is land to
subdivide. This sort of trading has In the
past proved TO be good thing. both for
the buyer and the seller, especially when
1T has been done with Judgment There are.
of course. instances here when property
has been exploited beyond the limits of the
market of the time or possibly of the imme-
diate future, but there has been nothing OF
that sort of thing In recent days.
The Demand for Homes.
for good many years back that specula-
ton pure and simple unaccompanied with
the substantial adjunct of building has not
been the prevailing trait 1t is also true
that never before in It's career as city has
home buying been SO much In favor as it
has been for the past year or so, and still
continues to be- 1t is the notable thing
about the market. The speculation In the
market has taken that form. and men who
have had faith have put up apartment
houses and row after row of houses and
they have found ready and lucrative
market.
The character of the buying has been and
5tiil continues to be almost marvel In
the eyes of even the best posted men. In
stead OF the tide of BUYERS falling on and
dwindling down to nothing, as has been
expected. 1t still continues strong and full
as ever. Where the people come from who

OTTAWA, July 26.-The new con-

Britain, but which solely affects this
country as to the citizens of Japan
and Canada, within the territorial
limits of each country, went into eff
feet July 13. Under this treaty GER
tain products of the dominion are ac-

and it is to remain in force until six
months from the day on which one of
the high contracting parties shall an
nounce the intention of terminating it.
Among the important articles of the
treaty is one which provides that the
subjects of each of the contracting
parties shall have the right to enter.

SCANOLE IN ARMY OVER KOElER
CourtmartiaI That May Involve Prom.
inent Officers in Philippines Or
dered by War Department.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 26-
wrangle between two army officers
in the Philippines, ending In mutual
abuse, was the reason for the issue
by the acting secretary of war of an
order for the assembling of a gen.
eral courtmartial on November 1 at
Zamboango, Island of Mindanao. This
rather unusual course was pursued
because the officials here were not
certain but that some officers higher
in rank than the two principals
named, might be drawn into the mat
ter
From the order it appears that Cap
tain L. M. Koehler, Fourth cavalry. is
to be tried for using Incorporate Ian
guage toward his superior officers. At
first it was charged that the captain
abused Major Hugh L. Scott, his i'm
mediate superior. They preferred
charges against each other and Gen.
eral Wood found the major blameless,
but courtmartialed the captain. The
court found him guilty and sentenced
him to be reprimanded
The captain, in his Indignation de-
clared that he had been treated I'M
fairly, thereby rejecting on General
Wood, and it was because the, latter
self ordered this second courtmartiaI.
The remote date fixed for the meet
ing of the court is explained by the
necessity of sending witnesses from
the United States and other legal re-
quirements.
