the peace. would result in the imme-
diate granting of the injunction with

New Public Buildings.

Announcement that active operations
have begun toward erecting the new
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in
vites attention to the fact that within
five years government building projects
in Washington will run into many mil
lions of dollars. The Bureau of En-
craving and Printing is but the begin
ming, to be followed by the city post
office and the three department struc-
lures, for which plans are in prepare
ton, between Pennsylvania avenue and
the Mall, cast of Fifteenth street north
west.
1t happens that government building
projects fall into periods of about FIVE
years each. One such period has just
closed in the completion of the House
and Senate Office buildings, the National
Museum, and the reconstruction of the
Treasury Building. Prior to that was
the erection of the Union Station, Mu-
nicipal Building, and the wings of the
Agricultural Department. From the in
ception of the project and first appro-
priations by Congress, about FIVE years
are consumed in the preliminary work
and actual construction; hence about the
year 1915 we may expect to see COM
pleted the series of structures named, to
which may be added the main building
of the Agricultural Department.
In the aggregate these buildings will
cost $Io.oooooo or all average of $4,000
600 year expended by the government
in appropriately housing its departments
and bureaus This expenditure, more or
less constant, means much to the bust
ness growth of the Capital, as a large
part of the materials and accessories of
these buildings is provided by local
capital or local concerns. 1t is one of
the sources from which Washington re-
ceivcs the wealth which enters into its
increasing progress

CONGRESS AND ECONOMY.
Ohio Editor Scores Senators for
Capitol Expenses.
Commercial Tribune.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Senator Kenyon is full OF the laudable
desire to economic and thereby save this
spendthrift government of ours some
$780, 900 annually, but he has made the
mistake of thinking that economy, like
charity, begins at home and has suggested
that the Senate forego some of its most
treasured perquisites. Now If the Junior
Senator from Iowa had evolved a scheme
by which the House was to deny itself
some of its costly privileges or had out
lined course of skimping and saving for
some other department OF the governs
ment, he might have found the body OF
which he is a member enthusiastic. He
really ought to have anticipated the chilly
silence with which his proposal that the
Senate abolish the free barber shop and
baths, its free expensive mineral water,
and cut its mileage allowace from 20 cent?
to 10 cents a mile would be received.
Possibly the free barber shop, the
baths, and the Decent mileage allowance
are costing the government a great deal,
and possibly the Senators should be ex-
pected to provide the two former COM
forts out of their ample salaries of 81 500
a year and be willing to sacrifice 10 cents
mile of their mileage allowance, but
the probability is that they will do none
Of these things. 1t is regrettable that
Senator Kenyon should have made him
self unpopular right at the start that
way. Why didn't Senator Cummlns, his
senior, give him a few points on Sena-
torial ethics, and then he wouldn't have
made that awful blunder? But II Is too
late now. The promising career OF a
junior statesman Of Iowa may not be ire
mediably ruined, but 1t will be no easy
task for him to live down the memory Of
his colossal initial mistake OF implying
that his fellow club members are getting
something that they are not entitled to.

Washington's Population.

The final tables of the population OF
the District of Columbia have been
issued by the Census Bureau, showing a
total of 33I ,o69, or an increase of 52,35I
in ten years, the percentage of growth
being 1873.
1t appears from the bulletin issued by
the bureau that while the increase in
the original city of Washington was
I2,434, or 81 per cent, and in the
original city of Georgetown was I,4o7,
or 1913 per cent, the advance in the
original county of Washington was
32,42o, or $50 per cent. Therefore, the
greatest growth in population has been
in the suburbs, which are rapidly filling
up in all directions The bulletin gives
further detail, proving that the District
is having a substantial and symmetrical
expansion. Moreover, it shows that the
Capital is not passing through any I'M
natural squirt of advancement, but is
moving forward at steady pace.
American cities grow, with accelerated
momentum-that is, in each ten-year
period the rate of increase shows 4
larger percentage of growth-and in the
case of Washington the population of
1920 should show an increase of 10000
or 10000, and in 1890, or soon after, the
District will naturally have population
of half million.
1t is certain that Washington is ex-
tending its business, manufacture, and
trade in about the same proportion that
its population increases. The larger
number of people to be fed and en-
ployed necessitates the enlargement of
industry, the extension of trade, and the
development of manufacture. These are
the lines along which the growth of
Washington is clearly shown.

Big Salary Awaits Big Man.

Mankind has Thomas Edison's word
for it that in the business world, in
industry, and wherever big things are
expected OF commanding ability, there
is dearth of $4,000 men. Mr.. Edison
is in position to know the facts, and he
declares that places paying that salary
60 begging for the proper men to fill
them.
Commenting upon this statement,
George w. Perkins. in an interview, has
set forth some of the requirements of
the man capable in these days of earning
$4,000 a year Briefly, these require
ments are preparation, alert brain, and
executive ability. Mr. Perkins pointed
out that the introduction of electricity
into the worlds work and the concen-
tration OF industry into large operating
companies has gone on so rapidly within
the last quarter of a century that the
number of places where men can earn
$4,000 year have greatly outstripped
the supply of those who are ready to
fill them.
Reverting to the requirements of men
TO fill these positions-preparation and
large brain power-the great body of
men are eliminated from the race at
once. The preparation for a $4,000
position is long and exacting process.
The boy who travels that road must
first have good education, preferably a
college education. though that is not
essential; but his brain must be trained
by process of exercise, much as the
muscles of the athlete are prepared for
his feats. This work must lie at the
foundation, either in school or through
experience in lower positions of active
endeavor. After school, the boy must
begin somewhere at the bottom, and by
experience in labor and in alertness of
faculty and experience arrive by slow
degrees to the point where he can be
iHtrusted with the large affairs of the
$4,000 position. twenty-five years in
this preparatory, work is none too long,
and the majority of men who hold these
high positions do not get them until
they are well past thirty
Executive ability is likewise largely a
matter of experience gained by the
directing of the labors of a few men
until the experience and ability come
to manage employees in the mass. Some
men have this trait in larger measure
than others, but most men can learn it
by experience
Summed up to the final accounting,
therefore, the man who commands big
salary pays big price. in the way Of
natural ability, preparatory effort. and

WHAT TO DO WITH THE MAINE.
Urgent Deficiency Bill Contains
the True Solution.

From the Atlanta Journal.
At last the problem of what to do with
the wreck OF the battle ship has met
happy solution. The urgent deficiency
bill, as presented yesterday to the House,
proposes that the hulk OF the famous old
vessel be distributed IN portions among
such American cities as may desire them
and also among patriotic societies and
| among the survivors OF the ships crew
or their heirs.
Such a plan is at once practicable and
seemly. It would mean that in every
corner of the Union the heroic memory OF
the Maine would be perpetuated. The
wreck cannot be allowed to lie in Havana
Harbor. 1t should not be left open to
the greed Of persons who would con-
vert its historic steel and timber into a
money-making scheme for their selfish
ends. 1t would be shoddy taste and bad
ethics for the government to permit the
decks on which American sailors died in
their duty to be hawked about the world
like pencils or shoe strings. Besides, IL
such a game were ever begun, there
would be no limit to the number Of
Names foisted upon the public.
1t has been suggested that 1t would
be an appropriate thing to tow the old
sea fighter far out to ocean and there
give her such a burial as a brave ad-
miral would deem fitting. To. be sure
there would be something dramatically
satisfying to such an end, but 1t would
lack the popular element for which the
plan of the urgent deficiency bill provides.
The best idea after all Is to deliver the
relics Of the vessel to the keeping Of the
people themselves. Placed among the ar
chives OF our cities, they would be prop
erly treasured and would be an enduring
memorial Of the good men who lost their
lives in the country's cause.
The carrying out OF this plan would re-
quire an extra appropriation Of not more
than s250eO0. 1t will doubtless recommend
itself to Congress.

A Case Where Law Is Needed.

By a Photographic trick, pictures can
be made of the President of the United
States apparently shaking hands with
any one who chooses to pose before the
camera for that purpose. 1t is no won
der that the occupant of the White
House has made a dignifed and per-
fectly proper protest against being util-
lied as figure in series of alleged
photographs. 1t may indicate popular
love for the President when tourists in
Washington desire to be pictured in. the
act of shaking hands with him, but
when a vender of patent medicines is
photographed in the apparent act OF
handing a bottle of his mixture to the
President, and then circulates the pic
lures as an advertisement, it is time to
put quietus on the whole business.
This is not monarchy, and we have
no such thing as lese majestic. We do
have, however, except in isolated in
stances like this particular case, a re-
gard for decency and propriety. If
there is no law which prevents fake
photographs from being taken and cir
culated, the sooner such statute is
enacted the better it will be for every
body. Not only the President, but
every individual, high or low, should be
protected against imposition. And if the
offender will not respond to courteous
protest there ought to be some authority
somewhere to compel him to desist.

The Sugar Crop.
for 1t.

Assurance comes from Cuba that the
sugar crop in that island this year will
exceed the production of 1910 by about
$4,000 tons. While an aggregate pro-
duction in Cuba of I,825,ooo tons would
not necessarily affect the worlds mar
ket largely, it would do so provided the
production in other parts of the world
was equally excessive. The big produc-
ton in Cuba is attributed solely to ex-
cellent weather conditions attending the
ripening and grinding of the cane.
Added to a cotton production far in
excess of recent years. and a wheat
production that is straining the trans
portation facilities of the railroads and
steamship lines to handle it, is this un-
expected increased sugar supply, which
may be increased in 1912 by larger out
put IN Louisiana and in the beet fields
of this country and Europe. 1t thus
comes to pass that in three of the great
producing lines the returns from the
soil are such as to bring lower prices
Cotton has been marked down from
fifteen to nine cents pound within a
year, wheat has come down proper
tionately to the larger production, and
the, wholesale price of sugar ought to be
lower
These are encouraging facts, which
in Mort time viii begin to tell upon
the cost of living. Present prices can
not be held at the high plane they have
occupied for two years past in the face
of such returns from agriculture.

enormous industry; and the chief rea-
son why there are not more $4,000 men
is because young men and older ones
are not willing to pay this price. They
love ease more than money, recreation
more than power, and are content with
an earning capacity of $50 week, when,
with the requisite energy, persistence,
and adaptability, they might have $4,000
a year.
