congress. his declarations would have
been of real service TO the people and
would have enabled them to protest
against the betrayal OF the public vel
fare to private greed.
The report deals at some length
with the attitude OF the administra-
tion In not communicating to congress
data on the steel trust" and other In

the failure OF the tarin board to com
municate data on the wooden in

Identification. Frederick G. Howe.
secretary Of the National Progressive
league, showed that the fundamental
theories upon which government In
America II based operate continually
TO hinder and embarrass American
municipalities in every attempt at ma

In realizing plans. German cities pro
coed upon fundamental theories that
are directly opposite TO those fol

II Is not like the American city-un-

The German city has always been a
landlord on a large scale. Even Ger
man villages own forests and other
land In common which have been so
held for centuries. and modern Ger
man cities buy and sell land or hold ~
for speculative rise In price the
same as individuals. Berlin owns al
together. nearly two and one-haf
times as much land as Is included In
the municipal bounds. Frankfort

In American cities Il Is the custom

and Just so much land IL taken by
them as will be az once used. and no
more The costly municipal improve
ments generally enhance immensely
the value Of adjacent lands. From
this increased value the American city
derives only an indirect benefit. but
the German city gets the full benefit
because II has taken the precaution

Leavenworth, kan.-Mrs. Carrie r.
Nation of Ratchet fame. who devoted
her life TO a fight on the sale OF liquor
and cigarettes, died In the Evergreen
sanitarium here of paresis. aged six
ty-siK years. She had been suffering
from a nervous breakdown since Jan
uary last.
Although it has been reported sew
eral times since she came here that
she was dead. her death was not ex-
pected until several days ago.
Mrs. Nation In the sanitarium was
incapable OF even managing her own
business affairs, all trace of the bold
prohibition worker had disappeared
when her iron constitution began tc
fail. and she spent the last five months
OF her life In seclusion. no one but
relatives and hospital attendants be-
ing allowed to see her. When told
several days ago that she would die,
Mrs. Nation made no comment. Only
DR.. A. l.. Suwalsky and a nurse were
with her when death came.
Mrs. Nations entry into fame was
made at Wichita. Kan. several years
ago. when she demolished a saloon
with a Ratchet. Later she repeated
the performance on several other Kan
sas towns. Kansas, however, was too
small for her proclivities and she car
ried her sensational fight against the
saloons into some OF the larger cities
Of this country.
Her body will be taken TO Kansas
City. where the funeral services and
interment will be held.
