The recent purchase by Representative
Martin Madden Of Illinois Of the resi-
dence at 261S Connecticut avenue north
west. not far from the north approach
to the million-dollar bridge, calls atten-
ton to the growing popularity of this
and other suburban sections in the Of
fetal life of Washington.
For many years practically all official
life in the city was conferred about the
Massachusetts avenue and Dupont circle
sections, with a liberal scattering of
senators and representatives In the
hotels near the Capitol.
BY far the larger part of cabinet
members, senators and representatives
continue to live in these sections. But
when Secretary of State and Mrs. Bryan
leased Calumet Place. far out on 18th
street, and were followed so closely by
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs Daniels
leasing Single Oak the beautiful country
estate on Woodley road, several blocks
from Connecticut avenue, the old ira
dition that homes of cabinet officers and
other high officials should gather within
radius Of a few blocks of Dupont
Circle was shattered.
Representative Madden Buys Home.
In the comparatively small subdivision
known as Woodley Park, beginning at
the Connecticut avenue bridge, extending
out Connecticut avenue as far as Cathe-
dral avenue, and comprising about three
blocks on either side of Connecticut ave-
nue. for that distance, there now live at
least nine members of Uncle Sans off,
cial family.
The Madden purchase is the most re-
cent addition to the colony. The new

Wardman. 1t was purchased from Mr..
Wardman by Eldridge L. Jordan, who in
turn sold it to Representative Madden
through the office of Harry V. Bouic &,
Co The purchase price was about
$4,000.
The house fronts twenty five feet on

The entrance is through large reception
hall. and the other rooms on the first
floor are the parlor. dining room, butler 5

parlor are hand-painted, and the fixtures
are exceptionally handsome. On the sec
ond floor are three large chambers. a
sleeping porch and bath. and the third
floor Is divided similarly to the second.
The woodwork throughout the house is
of birch, stained mahogany and white,
and the architecture. in general, is along
colonial lines.
Representative Madden has recently
purchased q splendid villa site in the
Massachusetts avenue villa section. but
does not expect to build there for some

str,lcted.

From the Ohio State journal.
There is a certain little Scripture that

there Is no vision the people perish
That would be true even II 1t were not in
the Bible 1t Is true OF an individual as
well as a people. There must be a hope.
an AIM an upward look, a realization of
better things ahead to awaken aspiration
and quicken endeavor. So many people
don't have this. They live from hand to
mouth and never look out from where
they are standing. That's the animals
way. They don't dream. They have no
visions.
There are communities sometimes that
have no inspiring outlook. They settle
down 20 amusements. prisons. politics.

unfold the future ana see in 1t the nobler
life. They have nothing to live for but
today. There is no inspirat ton In toYnor-
row. They buy and sell and talk and
laugh and eat and drink aud go to bed.
and tomorrow Is the same. There is no
vision: not high mark to press forward
to: no heavenly vision, as st. Paul ex-
presses II.
Now. there Is something in vision. or
the Bible would not say the lack of it
