Barking at the Tall Buildings.

AuguStin Bey. a French architect of
eminence, and member of the superior
council of dwellings of Paris, declares
The skyscrapers of New York architec-
ural eyesores. menaces. and dangers in
times of panic. He asserts, upon what
knowledge is not stated, that in twenty
years the municipality viii be obliged
to cut them down a half.
Our foreign critic bases this belief
upon the danger that would ensue in
the effort to clear a sSyscraper in time
OF panic or fire: that they cause con-
gestion of population in the localities
where they are, because they house,
relatively, to the surface space they oc-
cupy. so enormous a number of persons.
and because they exclude the air and
sunlight in the streets on which they
face.
All these facts have long been known,
and, as well, have been thoroughly con
sidcred by able architects and by munic-
ipal commissions in practically every
city in which large skyscrapers are to
be found. Every objection Mr.. Rey
brings against these buildings has also
long ago been demonstrated to be with
out effect, unless we except the one
that the skyscraper excludes the sun
light and air from the streets, and this
objection applies chiefly to the lower
portion of Manhattan island. in the
city of New York, where the streets
are mcommonly narrow.
1t may not be known to Mr.. Rey
who appears to be on his first visit to
1 New York, that the very charges he
/ brings to bear against slSyscrapers were
msrshaIed against them more than
twenty years ago, and that during the
intervening epoch skyscrapers have in
/ creased both in numbers and height
and that the very highest of all are
now being built; while mechanical and
/ structural devices, and ingenic as safe.
guards and arrangements Of every char.
acter are being constantly suggested OF
sought with view to building them
/ still higher.
In short, the arguments against the
/ sloyscraPer are as old as the SIX, scraper
but the argument in its favor is that
it pays, and Is the only form of great
Office building which does pay in large
cities where land space Is dear-an ar
gument more convincing, efficient, anc
enduring than any Mr. Rey can bring
against it.

cies Of the candidate ! am more sad
dcucd bE present political ConoiloR
than I have thought j could be IN any
such circumstance
Out Of a greater service to his party
and his country than any other Demo
crat has rendered in a generation. Grover
Cleveland wrote these words. They are
dated. not 1896. but 1906 July IA. That
there was anything inherent in the Po-
litical events which occurred after that
date and before the death of this man
of courage which would radically have
changed his estimate of existing condi-
tions no one viii contend seriously
Every living Democrat who reJoices IN
the strength that saved his party from
the lasting discredit of a corrupt cur
reucv must read these sentences as n
true expression of the Cleveland view
on the impending election. There is no
apparent ground TO doubt that the let
ter is genuine.
Now certain of Grover Cleveland's as
sociates have declared Tor Bryan in
this campaign. Among others are Judge
George Gray, Ex-Governor Francis of
Missouri; Judson Harmon, once Demo
cratic Attorney General; Hilary Her
bert, once Secretary Of the Navy, and
Hoke Smith, once Secretary OF the In
terror. What of these leaders? Have
they condoned or requited the 'unre-
pentant SINS" the deficiencies of 1.-THE
PeerIess?'' Do they confess themselves
deceived by the sugar coating now
envcIoping the Bryan pill?
The answer must be that not a single
one Of them at heart desires the cleo
ton of the Nebraskan: that their pres.
emit regularity" has an altogether diff
ferent object. They remember the
course of the NebrasSan in 1904. They
hope to prevent another such disaster
at Mr.. Bryan's hands when, fouLayears
later, smother and more creditable can
didate shall carry the standard. They
are, therefore, making it impossible fol
Mr. Bryan to aver desertion or half
heartedness on their part.
This may be good politics. II prob
ably is. There Is reason to believe il

Democratic party. For lack Of sucI

cheerfully and competently, and in the
same eager spirit with which it was
invited. But the japanese have not
permitted any sacrifice OF their o%yn
rather Spartan ideas of training
For instance, the director of the Hi
roshima Normal College, when in Lon
don recently, said in an interview that
the japanese pupils in the 10000 public
schools are treated with unbending
strictness- The teachers do not use the
stick. They fog with the eye. The
boys in particular are subjected to rig
orous physical a well as mental train
ing. I'm many of the schools they prac-
tice with the rifle. The boy" said this
master. must be trained to become a
man. and even if ne is never to shoot
at anything but game it IS just as well
that he should know how to shoot"
Which in part explains the wonderful
preparedness Japan showed when the
war broke out The younger children,
and especially the girls, are taught the
new songs set to music according to the
scale we use over here; but there is an
abundance of ancestral nursery songs
and play songs, which sometimes have
a naive practical turn, as
'"Cengu san Gord Mountains piriD
Please to give me some wind
If there be no wind
Please give some money"
They breed unusual artists and war
riors in Japan-and also unusual hosts.
