Voice Of the People
Concerning pInyrroundr.

To the Editor of The Times DISPATCH:
Sir Silence is n virtue rarely at
tributed TO women. yet believe that
there are some who Will agree with me
when say that there are few women
in Richmond who have maintained a
long silence under some pretty unjust
and hard raps
We have maintained that silence, not
because we have felt that we have
been treated with any sort of Justice
or even ordinary courtesy. but because
We have felt that We would rather
stand amy sort Of treatment than hur,
the cause we worked so hard TO cs-
tablish in Richmond, and for which we
sacrificed so much
But believe that the time has come
when tina; silence is no longer n virtue

Chief among the objections that pre-

in the ultimate control of tho new sys-

To illustrate: Ex- of1icio three NOM
bers of the body would be the Secrc-

General and tho Secretary of Agri-

be appointed by the President. with
the consent OF the Senate. and one OF
the Cabinet officers would be the gov

a third the secretary of the Federal
board. Not only that, but under its
authority to remove at discretion any
member Of the reserve, or regional

and general interests, and its authority
TO remove tho chairman OF all these

Still. it may be that when the pa

come to explain it, come to defend their
thesis, they may be able to demon

overbalance the objections named that
the assured benefits are worth the risk.
and that the natural operation of the

than real. Furthermore. under the

an-American States to Have Tallest
Building.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The Pan
American States association, which
recently bought the site at 57th and
5Sth streets and Broadway, expects
today to complete plans for erecting
the tallest building in the world. The
proposed structure, which will be
known as Las Americas, will be 801
feet in height. The height of the
Woolworth building is 7S0 feet, The
original plans for the structure pre-
pared by Francis H. Kimball, called
for building 901 feet in height.
The building will be used as a CEN
tire for prominent exhibits of the pro-
ducts of Central and South America
and Mexico The cost estimated by
Mr.. Kimball is $12,7OO,0 900 for struc-
ture of 18,255,96S cubic feet. The total
cost, including the. land, according to
Robert Lee Dunn, the manager of the
association, will be $16,000,000.
1t is expected that rentals for each
floor will bring from $4,000 to 500,

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Through explor-

ready cash. If that be true there is
nothing the matter with this country's
prosperity, for this year is by 80 pei
cent the best previous record of jewel
imports. During the year $57,O0O,00C
worth of precious stones will have
passed the customs men.
The value of the diamonds in this
country alone is enough to ransom
a long row of kings. According to the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce they are worth a billion dol
lars.
The new tariff law does not seem
to have had the effect, as some persons
seemed to fear, of causing big re-
duction in diamond importations by
making it more worth the smuggler's
while to bring them in by the under
ground route.

John B. McFenan.

We have had it on our heart for some
time TO write something about John B.
McFerran, of Louisville, who was born
in old Warren and who never forgot it.
We do not believe it has ever been our
pleasure to meet him personally. But
of his benefactions to his old county,
none can forget, except that Mr.. Meier
ran does not himself proclaim it.
Four meetings were held throughout
the various sections of the county during
the summer aud autumn, the object of
which was to bring the farmers into
closer touch with each other in order
that their educational, social and COM
mercial life might be brought into better
relation.
Ii was only after some reluctance that
I it was drawn from DR.. Cherry that Mr..
Meier. an had agreed to stand behindhim
for a reasonable sum in carrying out his
plans. This had to be told in modest
way to the people, because everybody Is
suspicious of anything he is getting for
nothing.
But we we're speaking of Mr.. Meier
ran. There is no marble slab erected to
him, but down in the hearts of the peo-
pie of Warren county his name and his
good deeds will be enshrined while life
shall last. After all, is this not the most
enduring monument = Bowling Green
Messenger.
