Need Of Convention Hall.

"a great need Of Washington is a large
and useful convention hall, which could
also be used for all opera and musical
purposes This should be made the con-
venton city Of the United States. and 1t
would soon have that name If we had the
necessary facilities
Two dangers in the making of a bet
ter Washington confront us. One is that
this shall be developed into a manufac-
turing city. This would be killing the
goose that lays the golden egg. Every
where that | go over the United States
and talk with thoughtful men and women
in all ranks of life l find a unanimous
protest against the agitation every now
and then in Washington to make it
manufacturing center.
Another danger, in contrast to this. Is
that Washington shall become too much
of rich mans abode or society capital.
While the so-caled rich or society people
have just as much right here as others,
and should be welcomed, there should be
a healthy moral sentiment among the So
called rich or society people against the
development of snobbishness toward those
with whom they are brought into daily
contact, or toward men and women who
come from remote sections Of the country
and less beautiful and refined cities. The
drawing of close lines in Washington be-
tween the so-called society and non-so-
ciety people. or between the leisurely or
unoccupied rich and officials and people
in general. who are busy, will be most
unfortunate for the future welfare of the
capital.

Short Battle Expected.

The question of the length OF the fight
appeared to be the most absorbing one
in the minds of the fight fans. No
body apparently looked for long con-
test. Only one bold plunger hazarded q
guess that 1t would pass the twenty
round mark, and he selected the twenty
fifth as the last round. The others clus-

City Should Be Beautiful.

There is no more thought, alike
patriotic and practical than that which
concerns the very city in which We live.
Founded by George Washington, and the
capital of the nation, ii should be the
most beautiful and the most useful city
In the world. 1t should be attractive
alike to rich and poor Nothing should
be neglected to make 1t capital not only
thoroughly enjoyed by those who live
permanently within its limits. but a
source of pride TO every American, no
matter how remote he may live from 1t.

fore it is too late, for more open rlazas

There Is nothing today that is de-
stroying more the beauty OF Washington
than the erection of skyscrapers. even
though limited In height. which do not In
any degree harmonixe with the idea Of a
beautiful street or with other buildings.
