Broadly speaking, freedom is not liberty.
Nor will liberty ever be license in the

liberty to do as l please. When my
thought and my act interfere with the
rights and privileges Of another, am no
longer free. Freedom is always right to
obey the expressed will of the majority.

Success is ever to be found close to the
line which divides loss from gain. Sitting
down on the wrong side Of the line makes
men failures. Bravely looking over to the
other side and bending the last remnant
of strength to get there, changes the word
failure into success.

NEED oF NEW BUILDINGS
Many Government Departments I'M
properly Housed


Senator Hepburn has introduced
bin for the purchase Of a considerable
tract Of land in the city Of Washing
ton. to be used for public purposes.
The plan IS old and similar bills have
been submitted from time to time
From two important points Of view
such a proposal should command fs
Yorable consideration.
The country is rich enough to make
its national capital a gem among the
cities OF the world. and the people Of
the country should take pride in max
ing It such. That Is the aesthetic side
of the question. The other side is
prosaic and strictly economical. The
need Of new buildings becomes more
evident from year to year The de
partment Of state is now crowded in
with the navy department and the war
department, to the great inconveni.
ence Of all three. The department OF
justice and the department Of lahog
and commerce now larry on their
work in rented buildings widely scat.
tered, inconvenient and unsuitable
Some day each Of these must have It's
own proper building. It is estimated
that the sums now paid for rentals
amount to more than liberal interest,"

The Hepburn bill provides for the
purchase Of land with a view to the
ultimate erection OF these buildings.
II is estimated that s1o.OOO,o0O viii
secure for the government, through
purchase and condemnation, about
5000 acres OF land adjoining the mall
that extends westward from the cap
ital to and beyond the monument II
would include all the area lying be
tween the mall and Pennsylvania ave
nue.. It is altogether the proper place
for our department buildings. The
value Of the land increases rapidly.
A few years from now will probably
find it worth sl5,OOO.OOO. This is the
prosaic side of the question, strictly
matter Of national economy.
We have the dollars and we need
the buildings. We should have tho
pride to make our national capital a
city beautiful. and We should have the
wisdom to house or departments in q
way that will enable them TO carry on

recommendation Of the interstate
commerce commission Governor Win
throp OF that island has secured James

pert to advise and assist the govern
ment Of that island In adjusting it's
railroad rates upon fair and reason
able basis and I'd revise the freight
classification now in use" according
to the formal announcement made
here

severe sufferer from the effects Of
determinations by her railroads. It
was upon the request Of President
Roosevelt. who stopped off at the ISL

TO Washington to take up the matter
Of railroad abuses with the Interstate

IN the erection Of the house Of REP.

to the United States capitol at Wash

oped In connection with the brick ma.
sonry work. The first brick was laid
at the site on the afternoon Of July S,
1905, and on July 8, 1906, there had
been laid IN the walls 1900. 900 brick.
This Is believed to be the greatest
number Of brick laid on any building
in one year in the United States, and
probably in the world One Of the
causes conducting to this record break
