WHY NOT BE ARMED TNYOUR.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP

Washington is the best planned city
IN America. With Philadelphia it
shares the distinction of being alone
among our cities as having been plan
ned in advance But Philadelphia's
plan has been seriously neglected-as
when the water front which Penn set
apart for recreation grounds was DELHI
erately turned into docks.
Now there is on exhibition today in
Washington series of maps, charts,
drawings, and photographs which re
veal a fact of great Importance to
every man, woman, and child in the
District of Columbia. They show, for
example, that other and older cities.
not blessed with LEnfant plan, have
been able by forethought of their own
future to obtain advantages which are
denied to Washington.
If we are to build sensibly in the
Capital it must be by virtue of re
strictions established at the earliest
possible moment. What shall these re-
strictions be? Do You know Why
not 60 and see for yourself what other
cities have decided2 Why not be arm
cd IN your good citizenship?

COMMENTS ON THE DEATH
OF HENRY H. ROGERS.

Is there a genius for hu.nbug amIs s
Americans? Are they greater hypocrites
than other folks? or by this ferocto5S
nue. and cry against the rich do they
satriZe themselves and their own I'M
changed aspiration for wealth. For we
take il to be notorious that never were
Americans so hungry and thirsty for
money, so eager 10 eat and drink and
automobile so passionately and pro
fOundly given TO material enjoyments.
let US see what sermons are preached
and what articles hurled" at that
Standard OH man, Henry II. Rogers,
master of money making and the most
human Of a batch OF allied "bllllOnaires
that seems TO nave a sort of heaven
born genius for milking the public and
that harV6sts dislike even by the I'M
sympathetic virtues of some of its mem
bers--New York sun.
Most of the comments on the death
of AEr. Rogers have been much as we
would have expected them to be. As
a rule, the newspapers have thought
fully differentiated between the man
and some of the methods by which his
great wealth was accumulated. There
has been no hypocrisy about it. In
deed, the American people have been
unusually sane in placing the re
sponsibility for the conditions under
which predatory wealth" has man
aged to have its own way. They have
fairly taken a great share of the
blame on their own shoulders. They
have not been animated by any special
hatred of any particular man. They
| have been aiming at q system. And
the best indication we see that they
are IN earnest in their intention to put
an end to the system is the fact that
they can treat the beneficiaries of it
charitabIy while in no sense abating
their determination not to let others
repeat the process.
Nobody hated Henry Fl. Rogers for
accommodating wealth in way the
business world of his day recognized
as legitimate. Nobody regarded him
as particularly a bad man because he
accepted rebates or used his wealth
and power to freeze out somebody else.
It was a part Of the game of his day.
But when the country realized where
this policy would lead it made up its
mind to put a stop To it il it could.
1t was the Standard Oil crowd which
served best to point the moral and
adorn the tale. They were the most
conspicuous of the offenders and came
in for the most notorsetyi but, on the
whole. we think it viii be found that
they think little better of their coun.
trvmen for seeking a way to give the
underdog a show, even if the seaEch Is
destined to be a fruitless one.
