S24 ,334 ,S34 AN ACRE,

A strip of ground measuring 46i
square feet, abutling on the new arch
way at Charling Cross. London, has
been sold by the London County coun-
ell for l. .l0e.O00, or say, s5.545 600 an
acre, or about S127 a square foot.
This price, when compared with pro-
perty at the corner of Broadway and
Wall street, New York. sinks into in
significance. The land al This corner
holds the record for Manhattan, HAT
at No. Wall street bringing S55S.65
Il square foot the last time II was sold.
There being A $50 square feet TO the
acre, this means that property at this
corner is worth S224 ,33334 ,S34 an acre.
The parcel at the corner of Broad
and Wall street, on which the offices
Off. p. Morgan Il Co. are situated, was
purchased several years ago at S:,4S II
square foot. That at A. Broadway was
sold two years ago at SAL, whileot
prices per square foot in the financial
district OF New York range from S325
to S:'4S. The record is that received for
property al No. Wall street.
Directly across Broadway is Trinity
church and graveyard, worth inques-
/ tionably the same fabulous sum per
square foot New York American.

SANDERS MAY
HOLD SEAT
Continued from Page y

The report which was circulated had
ii that the senator had learned author
itatively that Mr.. Webb would not ask
TO occupy the seat TO which he was
elected by the Tennessee legislature
yesterday until after the temperance
measure in which Mr.. Sanders IL so
deeply interested and for which he
has acted as floor manager, has been
voted on.
More than oncein the past few weeks
the senator has told his friends that he
desired to remain here until the meas
IRE was voted on. He said he thought
it only right that he should be allowed
to serve until then.
The situation, as established by SELL
atorial precedent, Is this: Senator San
ders hold on until the credentials Of
his elected successor are presented. II

successor If good feeling prevails be-

LUCK.

some people say 1t wasn't luck that made
EN- rich and proud.
They claim twas wisdom. work. and pluck
that raised 'en1 from the crowd.
don't deny that there's pile OF truth in
what they say.
And yit it always makes me smile to hear
EN- talk that way.
For instance. there was Henry Wood
taught school here years ago
Fills teachin wasn't any good. We had 10
tell him SO.
He tried to get another school. but couldn't
anywhere:
Directors thought lie was a fool and said
so plain and fair.
So layin' nothin' else to do,
He wrote silly book or two.
Most mushy stuff / over read.
But | have lately heard IL said
That Henry was a millionaire.
And there was John Tates oldest son, a
lazy, worthless chap.
When there was hard work to be done he
never helped his pap. -
The old MN drove him off at last--just
told him plain ard flat
That all the monkcyin' was past What
happened after that?
They say he's salt;n' money down
Ard keeps six servants UP In town.
lie sells some Kind of medicine
He guarantees to keep 'ein thin
When women think they're gettin' fat.
Take them two feilers-was 1t pluck with
which they were endowed
Or was it just bit OF luck thattnade EN-
rich and proud?
Take notice that | don't deny that work
and wisdom win,
But when YOU say that ends it, why-ex-
cuse me IL | grin.

Making an Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Enemies of votes for women, in
search of arguments to confound the
orators OF the case, may use for what
1t is worth the following incident
which happened in Madison square
one day last week:
A young woman of pleasing and pic.
turesque aspect came northward from
Twenty-third street across the square
She struggled under the weight Of o
dog-hamper, and inside one could see
bright-eyed, restless fox terrier, ca
ger to be let out The woman carried
leash in her left hand. and the dog
had on a collar with snap. An in
terested observed followed the woman.
She struggled on six blocks up Madt
son avenue before she reached her
destination, a residence on the east
side of the street. Then she unlocked
the hamper. snapped the leash on the
dogs collar, and took him inside the
house. Why had she carried an able
bodied. 25-pound fox terrier, who want
ed TO be let out, all that distance?-

Politics Extraordinary.

It Is heard from Washington that
the Democratic leaders in the house
do not propose to bring up at this
session. or for some time to come, the
six-year single-term constitutional
amendment resolution passed by the
senate. While other infinite pretexts
are stated, the real reason. according
to current gossip. is a peculiar eX
hibition of politics.
The Democrats in the house, ac-
cording to this story. know what gave
their party the presidency and do not
propose to lose 1t. They owe their
tenure of power to Theodore Roose-
velt's candidacy last year, and they
are counting on his playing the same
beneficent role in 1916. TIC make in
eligible the man who presented them
with the presidency and the senate,
and from whom they expect similar
gifts in the future, would be an al
truism that they have no intention Of
attaining
Alert politics, no doubt. But might
not these Democrats consider whether
the kind Of politics that ignores plat
form professions and makes present
party exigency rule in constitutional
legislation may not cost more than 1t
comes to?

Why a certain parrot never learned

these words:
Kerrigan went on trip to South
America, and while there bought a
pretty Spanish parrot as present
for his friend OBrien. He shipped
the bird to O'Brien at once, and when
he got back home. he said:

Democratic Party "Up Against
Campaign Promises.
Chances Are Largely That the Usual
ineompetency and lnefficiency
VIII Be Made Evident to
the Country.

Democratic senators and represen
tatives who will sit in the next con
gress should appoint committee to
interpret and decide upon the bind
ing character of the Baltimore plat
form. There Is a good deal of dispute
about the instrument, and the time
approaches when 1t must be fulfilled
or repudiated in legislation.
The country, Of course, Is familiar
with the campaign interpretations
They were all to the effect that the
instrument was clear as to meaning
and square as to intention. II In
vested with power the democracy
would faithfully keep all the promises
made.
But now objections are heard about
this plank or that. One term for Mr.
Wilson? Nonsense! Leave that mat
ter to time. "Give Mr.. Wilson
chance for his white alley" II he
makes a success of one term. let him
have a second.
Tolls for our coastwise shipping

free passage, and the declaration was
aimed at the freight-rate trust Of the
transcontinental railroads, American
and Canadian. Play into the hands OF.

honestly redeemed without smashing

a tariff law would cause as widespread
wreck as law authorizing free sill
