Wants Business City Here.

Editor The Washington Herald;
If those organizations OF Washington
business men were to combine their en-
ergies in an effort to secure for their city
a representative form OF government, they
would not need to be sending out begging
letters and appeals to the general public
for money 10 pay the residents Of the sur
rounding neighborhooG to come here and
deal with their merchants.
With a representative form OF govern
ment We would be overrun with business.
1t would be necessary, rather, for US TO
seek aid In providing entertainment for our
out of town customers. our river banks
would be lined with numerous thriving
plants of industry, and our business
streets with great storage and wholesale
houses. Washington would become
mart and distributing point for all the
southeastern. and a portion Of the middle
and northern States.
I know that the same weak argument
that has always been advanced. OF main
tanning the beauty OF our city at the cost
Of our commercial growth, will be heard
in objection. The same argument. IN a
larger sense, has always been made by an
element Of our citizens to impede the
progress of our nation And had il been
needed. American to-day would yet be in
her infancy, a weak, struggling. sparcely
settled and. 10 the world unknown gov
ernment of the few by somebody Tor a
few feudal barons. But such advice has
been given little thought by our great
law makers. and our country has grown
10 large proportions. and is now reck-
oned among the greatest commercial ma
tons Of the world.
We have shown that modern democracy
is not q failure. We have given 10 the
world a modem national democracy. Now
let us give TO that model national demOc-
racy. something which II very much needs.
a model municipal democracy.

"Gehennav MOI DOgmatic Hell.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Mr. T. J. Henry, in The Washington
Herald some time ago. made a curious
and apparently unaccountable error re-
garding what he calls the dump" in
ancient Jerusalem. Near Jerusalem was
the Valley Of Hinnom, where children
had once been sacrificed TO the heather

was given over to all uncleanness all

place was called "Gehenna" 1t was not.
by the Jews, or any one else, called
"Hades." 1t is true that in the author
lied version Of the Bible the word is
translated he'll" but the context is al
ways such as to cause no confusion with
the Greek word "hades" or the Hebrew
word "SheOl." which means the place
OF departed spirits" or the grave
While the inner meanings of the words
'sheol'' and ''hades' are disputed. no
scholar would dream of associating the
proper noun "Gehenna" with them.
Every good English dictionary gives the
meaning of the three words.

Finance and Executive Backbone.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Believing that the present financial
situation is OF general interest 10 the pub
lie, the undersigned desires TO give the
following incident as doubly interesting
and throwing a most valuable side-light
on uD-tO-date financial methods on the
part OF some OF our great banks.
The cashier OF a Western bank. a gov
ernment depository, having an excess OF
government deposits. orders his Eastern
correspondence great national bank OF
New York City, itself a government de-
pository-to make payment 10 the sub
treasury at New York. The New York
bank. recipient of great favors from gov
ernment, wrote my friend that the gov
eminent would only accept gold coin,
and that they had been forced to go
out on the street and buy gold at a
premium OK 3I5 per cent-in this case
amounting TO more than $300-and that
said premium had been charged 10 the
Western bank.
This institution scented a hOld-up. and
requested the undersigned 10 investigate.
On inquiry al the United States Treasury,
II was found that no such discfimina-
ton had been made and that any form
Of coin or currency was acceptable TO
the government The great national bank
in New York City had simply worked
a confidence game. had not bought gold,
but had hlched over 800 from It's cor

American sewing machines are now go

the present year England bought S1,2o0.000
worth Of them. Germany invested SSS6.010
in them. and Japan's housewives bought
eco worth. They went TO British Aus
tralasia in quantities. the total value of

worth of typewriters went abroad during
the first nine months Of the year Japan
invested $4,000 in them. and China and
India were good customers.
The success of the American as a trade
getter lies in the superiority Of his wares

What Kidneys Do.

unhealthy some part OF this impure
