NOTABLE ADDITION TO REALTY
ON 10TH STREET.
Mansion Intended for Diplomat Will
Be Completed About First

The notable series of houses built along
the western side of 10Th street extended
by ex-senator and Mrs. Henderson of
Boundary Castle will have another ad-
dtion upon the completion of their new
prospective "embassy,' now in course of
construction just south of Columbia road.
Work on this structure has been in
progress since early spring. and it will be
completed in time for the opening of the
winter season about December 1. Just
which one of the embassies or legations
centered in Washington will find domi-
cile in the new mansion has not yet been
determined. though Senator Henderson.
shortly before his departure for Bar Har-
bor this week. said several applications
already have been received.
BY far the largest and most preten-
tious of the houses built by the Hender-
sons, this new pile marks another epoch
in the effort of the builders to make 18th
street boulevard, worthy by its resi-
dences and by the fact that the White

Will Subdivide at Once.

The new owners expect to subdivide the
property at once. Tentative plans have
already been made to this end, and it
is expected that about 800 lots will be
available after dedicating streets, as re-
9uired by law. In fact, several houses
will be built at an early date, as con-
tractors are now considering plans ard
specifications for these residences
1t is believed that the property will sell
rapidly. as the prices will be put with
in the reach of the general home buying
and investing public. These reasonable
prices, coupled with the added induce,

The Tariff

You will not take up a paper
for weeks to come, that does
not con tain an article on the
tariff, or at least some alluslon
to It. From the beginning OF
the government it has been a
fruitful source of discussion,
sometimes acrimonious and
bitter, and it will be dicussed
for years TO come. 1t is es-
pecially interesting now, because
President Taft called special
session of Congress to consider
the question. and revise the
schedules in order to better
meet and satisfy present con-
ditions of business and trade.
But what is the tariff? In a
word it is tax imposed by the
National Government, upon GER
tain com modities. Now, two
general classes may be mention
ed, the one advocates a tariff
suficent for revenue only, the
other places tariff, or tax on
special articles to prevent the
same kind Of goods being
brought i'm from other countries
where labor is cheaper than in
the u. S. and being sold at a
lower figure than American
manufacturer can produce the
same kind and quality of goods.
II some other country can afford
to sell steel, lumber. or sugar
cheaper then we can manufac.
ture these articles, then our Gov
ernment puts tax on the import
ed steel, lum mber, sugar, or what
not, SO that our people can afford
to make aud sell their goods at
a profit. The PHILIPPINE Islands
are possession of the U. 5.
and as such it seems to the
writer, should have equal priyi
leges with our own people en-
gagged in the same industries,
but no; congress assessed a tax
on their sugar aud some other
com modit'es SO they could not
bring it to the United States
and under sell the same articles
manufactured here. Because
