OUR SECRET SOCIETIES.
Rensons Why They are Numerous
i'm the District of Columbia.

FTCm the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps It is the absence Of any dis.
tinCtive sort of District Of Columbia pol.
itiCs that facilitates the organization OF
fraternal societies in Washington. Pos
sibly the government employe resident in
Washington finds lodge politics a substl-
tute. However there is another reason.
A great many of these societies. In
fact. the ones that are most popular
there. have so-Called benefit" features of
some sort. There Is no doubt that old
age pensions from the public Treasury
for the departmental clerks would greatly
reduce the Washington membership of
these organizations and their receipts from
dues IN the city. II would also interfere
materially with the business Of the life
insurance companies, for old age pensions
for superannuated clerks would. of course.
be speedily followed by pensions for the
dependent relatives Of deceased Washing
ton clerks. possibly for both progenitors
as well as descendants. as Is the case un-
der the military pension system.
Indeed. a more piteOus plea can be
made for pensions for the dependent rela-
tives Of the deceased Washington clerk
than for the living Washington clerk
himself

Carrying the comparison back to
1900 1t is evident that the musical in
strument industry made much great
er progress in the five years between
1900 and 1905 than it did in the ten
years between 1890 and 1900. Taking
the value Of the products as furnish
ing, perhaps, the best indication Of
growth, it will be found that this item
shows an advance from $36.S68, 1859 in
1890 to $44,418,97s in 1900, which was
an increase Of only S7,550.S09 or 20,5
per cent as compared with the re-
markahle increase Of over $25, 1000, 900,
or 56.6 per cent, in the Eve years be-
tween 1900 and 1906.
The growth of the piano and organ
manufacture gives the truest indica-
tion Of prosperity. When times are
hard no industry feels the pinch hard
er than the piano manufacturers. And
when this industry shows an increas-
ed production Of &c per cent in five
years it Is evident that the country
has not been worried with the pro-
verbal wolf at its door.
