Samuel Hart. manager OF the large es-
Establishment of Lansbursh & Brother, 42O

as a hustling business man who knows
how to apply twentieth century methods
to business conditions. In addition TO his
other duties, Mr.. Hart has charge of the
advertising bureau of Lansburgh &
Brother. and is regarded as authority on
the science Of publicity. He is native
born in the year 1860. His business ca
pacity and aptness is a compliment to the
public school system of Washington, for
he is a graduate Of the local schools.
Mr.. Hart entered the service of the firm

the position of stock boy. Then he began
to climb the ladder of success step by step
until at the last he reached the pinnacle.

NEW COLORADO GAME BIRD.
Mountain Forests Will Be Stocked
With Capercailzie.

From the Denver Post.
Two strange birds arrived in Denver
Saturday, having journeyed all the way
in the City Park. If the plans of their
owner. w. F.. kendrick succeed they will
be the progenitors of new race of birds
in the Colorado mountains.
They are the capercaiZie pronounced
caper-kel-Zi. and are the size of a small
turkey In habits they are much like
grouse and ptarmigan. They thrive best
at timber line and subsist on pine spruce
and hemlock boughs and mountain ber-
rieS.
Mr.. kendrck, who is tremendously in
terested in birds ard animals. has had an
ambition for some time to start the breed
ing of these birds in Colorado because of
their rarity and beauty He has already
bred and liberated thousands of pleas
ants. but the capercai.Zie were hard to
get. For months he has had a commits
sion in Sweden for two perfect birds As
the result of this order the two arrived
Saturday.
The capercailzie is almost as large as
and similar in habits to the American
wild turkey, with the advantage that il
can endure much more severe hardships
such is obtainable from the treetops if
necessary, when the ground is deeply
covered with snow.
Mr.. Kendrick will keep the birds at the
park until they breed, his plan being to
take the young 10 the most suitable
places in the mountains and liberate
them.

Manager Hart believes. with the old
saying. that the proper study of man is

OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING
STATUS OF FINANCIAL AND
BUSINESS INTERESTS.
Local Banks Have Abundance of
Money-Growth of Population
Regarded as Helpful.

The general impression of men engaged
in financial business is that a marked
improvement has taken place in the local
situation of late. Instead of the banks
feeling apprehensive about the extent of
their cash resources they have now album
dance of money and no longer look for
ward to the probability of unexpected de-
mands, which made the period of the late
panic such time of anxiety.
The effect in the falling off in the vol
urne Of business is, of course, felt, as
well as a sort of indefinable not ion that
is quite general among business men and
others that the general situation in the
commercial and financial world is not as
yet cleared up. In other words. some of
the current sentiment toward the flu
ture is not what is needed in order to in
sure full and free movement in business
The conditions here are SO excellent
that it is difficult even for those who are
most familiar with the city to understand
why there should be any hesitation OF
any lack of confidence in the future.
Most People Not Affected.
Here, as in most places, the recent diff
ficulty began with the well-to-do, while
the great bulk of the people who have
moderate incomes have been but slightly
affected. and then only by the curtailment
in the amount of business done, which has
lessened the need for employees.
In the retail lines of business in this city
it is found on inquiry that the propIle-
tors have but little to complain of as far
as their business is concerned, and while
there may have been some decrease, yet it
ba hap jS
people are buying to a large extent much
as they have always done. There is, of
course, some slowness in payments. col
lecionS not being as easy as is generally
the case, but that Is due in some de-
gree at least, to the habit on the part of
some persons to avail themselves of any

thought there is any real cause for ii
other than that, although without ques-
ton a shrinkage has been going on in in
comes which is experienced especially by
the very rich.
Population Continues to Grow.
In the meantime the population contin-
ues to grow. unless what are supposed to
be indications of such growth are false.
The effect of such movement cannot be

KENT ON ADVERTISING.

THE PALAIS ROYAL, Mr. A. Lisners
establishment. has been represented for
several years by William G. Kent as the
writer of advertisements. Mr.. Kent makes
great claims for advertising and places it
on a high plane. He writes as follows:
advertising has made the modern
newspaper. The expenditure incidental
to vast machinery, news gathering, edi-
torial work and the office is out of all
proportion to the income derived from
the sales of the newspaper. The penny
or two paid by the reader hardly covers
the cost of the paper upon which the news
is printed.
advertising is also responsible for the
modern department store. Without adj

every home in town-the great department

in the great city of London, where add

advertising must not only be credited
with making possible the vastly greater
collections of goods. but a-jo the lesSening

puts a street of the old time small stores

On Deservedly High Plane.

advertising, like other professions, has
passed through the various stages of de-
veIopment and today is placed on de-
servedly high plane. While quackery still
exists, it is generally recognized and is in
the last stages of its unhealthy life. On
the other hand, legitimate advertising has
earned and gained respectful attention
and brings bountiful reward to all con-
cerned.
advertising has not only made posi-

DEVELOPMENT OF REAL ETATE

. Clean. free from smoke and healthful
at all seasons of the year. Washington Is
a continuing source of JOY, both to the
regular residents, who make their daily
pilgrimages along its broad avenues and
streets. and to the hundreds of tourists,
who, particularly at this season of the
year. make the Capital city and its en-
virons the mecca of their holiday wan
derings And 1t is to these chance visitors
that the District of Columbia owes much
of It's growth along the lines that the
men who have the best interests of the
city at heart want to see IL develop. Au-
thentic records show that every year
there are scores of tourists who succumb
to the charms of this city beautiful, Its
parks and vistas and artistic public and
private buildings. and, finding in this
cosmopolitan center congenial friends
from their own sections of the country,
determine on Washington for their future
home.
For years past the development of both
urban and suburban real estate has owed
much of its steady progress to the In
fiux of new population. Added TO this.
too, has been the growing prosperity of
the whole community and the accom-
panying desire of WashinCtonians to pos
sess their own homes. so that the whole
growth of the city has been of that
healthful and permanent sort which
makes for the best interests of the munic-
ipality.
Meeting Needs of Community.
The real estate men of Washington in
meeting the needs of the community have
found opportunity for the construction
and sale of rows on rows of houses which
have pushed outward the actual rim of
the city in a constantly widening circle.
Demand for these, and for detasned
houses in the four quarters of the capt
tai has easily kept pace with the supply,
ard in the ensuing spring season there I'M
doubtedy will be a material increase not
only in the building. but in the rental and
sale of houses already completed. In fact
the demand i'll some portions of the COM
munity is so steady that d majority of
residences are sold or otherwise disposed
of considerably in advance of actual com
pletion.
In rejecting the prevailing sentiment
of the investing public the real estate
dealers are practically unit in declaring
that Washington stands in a class alone
in respect to its immunity from rapidly
shifting values incident To the ascsnts
and declines of the stock and securities
market. Conservatism, one prominep'
operator said yesterday. is the keynote OF
real estate investments in the Capt. a

DISCARDED ISSUES.
Bryan's Alarm About "Militarism'
Hag Faded.
(From the Kansas City Times.)

(From the Kansas City Times.)
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan made an ominou.
noise about 'milltarism." He conceived
the idea-or at least advanced the
theory--that because the country had
acquired the Philippines and Porto Rice
and because provision had been made
for an increase In the regular army, the
Republican party was about to put Into
effect n policy Of world conquest; that
this was to be made military nation
that the ideals OF the young men were
to be turned from the arts Of peace
to the arts Of war. and even that the
enlargement Of the army was to be u
standing menace to the cause Of Amer
lean labor.
And all this because the standing
army. which consisted Of 5000 men
when the Spanlsh.American war be.
came inevitable, was to be increased to
a possible maximum OF 100000. The
renson for this latitude OF increase was
Of course. the necessities so impressive
ly revealed through the experiences OF
the war with Spain. and Mr.. Bryan had
reason to know Just what those neces
stiles were.
Since Mr.. Bryan's fearful and won.
derful alarm about "militarlsm" the
army has been increased from 25,000 to
10000 men. Not one OF the evils pre-.
dicted by Mr.. Bryan has attended this
enlargement. Would Mr.. Bryan reduce
the army? II so. why does he not de-
mnnd reductlonl Why did he not put
a reduction plank In his platform? Or
does his silence this year on the sub
ject OF ''mllitarIsm" mean that Mr
Bryan now admits the absurdity OF his
position In 10007
