When the owners Of the Madison
Square Garden in New York announced
recently that they could no longer af.
ford to hold the improbable property
the people Of the city suddenly began
to ask themselves what they should
do without it. The building covers a
whole block, and its amphitheater will
accommodate eighteen thousand per.
sons. 1t is the scene of the horse and
dog shows, the automobile and sports
mans exhibitions, bicycle races and the
circus. Great political meetings are
also held in it as the most capacious
auditorium in the city. If the Gar
den should be torn down, New York
would have no adequate hall for such
gatherings and exhibitions. It would
also lose the tower, which was sug-
gested by the bell-tower Of the Seville
Cathedral, and is one of the most beau
tiful structures in America. An at
tempt is making to prevent the demoli.
ton Of the building. Every important
city needs such large gathering place

hundred thousand dollars for the in
vestigation and conservation Of the
ancient remains to be endangered or
destroyed, particularly the early
cemeteries which will be flooded.
The beautiful temple Of Isis on the
Island Of Philae, already sadly injured
by the invading waters, which at
present rise almost to the capitals of
the columns, will, after the raising of
the dam, be completely submerged,
with the possible exception Of the
very SUBMITS Of the tall pylon towers.
Such submergence year by year must,
of course, result in the slow disin-
tegration Of the stone, and the ulti-
mate complete destruction Of what
has been the loveliest building in
Egypt The loss to the modern Wis
itor Is but the beginning; for the nu-
merous records and inscriptions on the
walls have never been properly copied
and published. The same is true of
the other Ptolemaic temples, forming a
group extending along the river for
forty miles above the Assuan dam.

WILL BE SUBMERGED.

Assuan Dam VIII Completely Cover
the Beautiful Temple of Isis.
It has been decided by the govern
ment Of Egypt to raise the great dam
at Assuan seven meters above its
present level. This means that the
country above the dam will be mum
dated far beyond the limits Of the
present lake, already as large as that
Of Geneva in Switzerland. While the
results may be very gratifying in the
economic development of the Nile
valley below Assuan, such results are
not likely to compensate the archaeol-
ogists and the cultivated public inter
ested in the monuments and remains
of early civilization to be buried thus
under many feet of water. The gov
eminent has foreseen this dissatis-
faction and has appropriated several

Frank Fayant in Appleton's. These
two dry-as-dust statements Of cold fact
contrast strangely with the highly col
ored figures Of speech Of certain yellow
purveyors of written transformation,
and with the fantastic fairy tale pic
lures Of the yellow cartoonists. The
car-seat student Of American affairs,
who assim1lates pseudo-Dolitical econ
omy from headlines and cartoons, has
been led to believe that a few mag
mates" own the railroads, the industries
and the banks Of the country, and that
they are leagued together to enslave
"the common people" But the cold
figures, as revealed in the stock books
Of the corporations, tell very different
story. The widespread ownership Of
the corporations is striking evidence Of
the faith the great body Of Industrious,
thrifty Americans have in corporate en-
terprise, despite all recent disclosures
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1909-01-22

Of the misuse Of corporate power by the
INSCRIPTIONS. This faith was shown,
as 1t never had been before in our his
tory, in the recent disastrous financial
panic, when hundreds of thousands of
small investors came into the market
place with their savings to take rail-
road, industrial, and bank shares off
the hands Of thoroughly frightened
spectators and capitalists.
The popular fallacy regarding the
ownership Of the corporations has been
in part due to a very natural miscon-
ception. The rapid growth of indus
trial trusts and railroad combina-
lions in the past ten years has central
lied control, and the careless observer
has mistaken this for centralized own
ership. But the Capitalization of con-
troll has been accompanied by the
spreading out of ownership.

Is THE HOME DISAPPEARANCE
One Woman i'm Every Five In Amer
lea Is a Wage Garner.

One Woman i'm Every Five In Amer
lea Is Wage Garner.
One woman in five in the United
States has abandoned the domestic life
and has become a wage Garner. Even
this does not accurately state the stu
alton. In country districts only two
women out Of every eleven are at work,
but in cities-that Is, wherever indus
trial opportunities are present-two
women out of every seven are at work,
nearly one-third Of the total woman
population. How far the father of the
family has ceased to be the sole sup
port thereof is shown in the statistics
gathered in twenty-seven cities and tab
ulated by the Census Bureau. The to-
tai number Of women at work in the
twenty-seven cities is 9O4,695 OF these
173,03O are boarding or living in the
families Of their employers. The re-
naming 731 ,665 are described as fol-
lows:
Woman the sole wage earner..... 9S,S61
One other wage Garner in family .218, 415
Two other wage earners in family 1873, OS9
More than two other wage earners
IN FAMILY .226, 800
Out Of 731, 665 women at work, 9S,-
SCI are supporting the family, and be-
tween 219,415 and 532, SO4 are contrib
uting to the family income. Remem-
Der that these are city workers and
represent nearly one-third Of all the
women in those cities. At last accounts
the number of women in industry was
increasing faster than the birth rate
How long will it be before the home
except for rich people, will be as OBJ
solete as stagecoaches, hoopskirts and
merry Christmas? asks Rheta Childe
Dorr in Hamptons Broadway Maya
zine.
Recurring periods of industrial de-
preston always bring poverty to the
surface. We have no permanent class
Of unemployed in This country-as vet
but we have large population
which barely manages to keep it's head
above water When the tide rises ever
so little above the average this big
population has to be rescued from
drowning. 1t has no foothold but the
shifting sand, and it cannot swim. AS
soon as normal conditions prevail it
rallies and is able to care for it's own
again.
But this last panic brought some
thing new to the surface. 1t brought
to light force at work in this land
Of bOundleSs wealth end unlimited IN
portunities; force which If not met
will result In a wholesale wreckinp Of
homes Already the silent force has
eaten far into the social fabric. Its
outward and visible sign is the fact
that on the shoulders of millions of
women has descended monstrous dou-
BILE burden, under which not only they
but their children and their homes
are slowly sinking.

There is no quarrel with the Vene-
zuelan people. Not a country with
which diplomatic relations have been
broken off feels hostile toward the
Venezuelans. The disputes are all
with Castro and his government, and
much as foreigners have to resent, they
believe that Castro's own people have
more, and that they are to be pitied
more than blamed for the sorry pass
to which they have been brought. If
they do indeed throw off the yoke their
friends, the enemies Of the dictator
will gladly do what they can to make
the way easy for them.

The business men Of Washington are
making arrangements for such hall
in that city. The national capital has
no adequate meeting place for big con-
ventions, and no room suitable for the
inaugural ball. Chicago, with char
acteristic enterprise, has maintained its
big hall for a long time. Denver built
one last year for the National Demo
cratic Convention. st. Paul has built
such a hall by public subscription.
Other cities are similarly equipped, for
with the increased facilities Of travel,
exhibitions and conventions attract
people from so wide an area that a
hall large enough for all demands fifty
years ago has become inadequate to-
day. But land is so expensive in the
large cities and the price Of building
materials Is so high that the big mod
ern halls seldom pay expenses. Their
benefit to the community at large is
greater than to their owners. They
are really public institutions.
