Of SIGNS
APPROVED BY BROKERS
Law Limiting the Number of
Rent and Sale Notices
on Property. ~

Z Real estate brokers and agents of
Washington are awaiting with interest an
announcement by the District Commits
sioners regarding the manner in which
they plan to carry out the provisions Of
section of the District appropriation
bill limiting the number of for rent and
for sale signs to be placed on property
within the District.
The bill limits the number of signs to
be placed on any piece of property to
three. These may be displayed only with
the written consent of the owner. The
bill does not provide who shall say which
signs shall be permitted in case more
than three agents get written consent
from an owner to place q for rent or
for sale sign on his property.
Brokers Favor Regulation.
Inquiry among real estate brokers and
agents throughout the city shows that
while many of them believe the law
should have been differently framed, the
majority of them are in favor of regu-
lation limiting the number of signs to
three. For several years there has been
a movement among local brokers and
agents to prevent the clustering Of a
piece or property with many signs. AS q
result many owners have been persuaded
to limit the number of signs to be dis
played on their property.
Although the District Commissioners
have not announced the way In which
they are going to carry out the pro-
visions Of the bill, the majority OF agents
and brokers believe that the first three
agents securing written permission from
an owner to erect for rent or for sale
signs on his property should be permitted
to do so.
Its a case of the early bird catching
the worm," said one broker
William H. Saunders, president of the
Real Estates Brokers Association, said he
believes no difficulty will be experienced
in carrying out the provisions of the act.
believe q large number of agents
law limiting the number Of signs. While
there are instance4in the city where
property has been rendered unsightly by
the display Of too many for sale and for
rent signs, the law will set a limit In the
future.
Ready to Cooperate.
The Real Estate Brokers' Association
stands ready to cooperate with the Com
mfssioners in carrying out the provisions
of the bill. To my mind there is one
question in connection with the enforce
ment of the law that first will have to
be settled. That is whether agents who
obtained written permission to place a
sign on property before the passage of
the act will have to have that permission
renewed. In many instances agents have
full charge Of property, the owners Of
which live elsewhere and have not seen
their holdings for a number of years.
These agents have been given permission
to handle the property and to display
for rent and for sale signs whenever
necessary. / do not believe they should
be required to have this permission re-
newed in order to continue to display
their signs
The enforcement of the law will rest
with the police department As yet Maj.
Sylvester has received no instructions
from the District Commissioners regard
ing the matter.

SALOONS OF CAPITAL
MAY Be FREE OF LAW
Question Raised as to Whether
Present Excise Act May Not
Have Been Repealed.

Is there an excise law in effect in
Washington at present?
This question probably will be raised
at the hearing of the next case alleging
violation of the liquor law which has
been in effect in this city for a number
of years. It is thought by some attor-
neys of the city that the repeating clause
OF the Jones-Works bill, which was ap-
proved as an amendment to the District
appropriation BILL went into effect i'm
nediately after the President signed the
bill. 1t is expressly stated that the date
on which other portions of the bill be-
come effective is July l.
In the event Of the question being put
up to the judge Of the Police Court at
the hearing of the next case of this char
acter upon the ruling of the Judge will
depend whether saloons and wholesale
July l, or. whether the old excise law
is still in force.
Similar Case in Past.
Should the court be Of the opinion that
the clause of the Jones-Works bill which
repeats former legislation on the sub
ject became effective when the. bill was
signed and the new regulations not eff
fective until July 1, condition will OBJ
tain in Washington which has only been
paralleled once in the city's history.
Those who now hold saloon licenses
would not be punishable in the court for
keeping their saloons open Sundays, for
selling or giving liquor to minors, un-
licensed bars could flourish without fear
of being raided and their stock ,confis-
Gated. and any one at all could give even
a child liquor without fear Of criminal
prosecution.
It was possible to do these things once
before in Washington for a period Of
eight months. This was in 1893, from
March 3 until November l. The Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia was
called upon to decide almost the same
question which may be put up to the
Police Court, and decided that no law
was in effect during thtt time.
The city was not as wide open" as 1t
might be supposed 1t would have been,
though. The principal restraint felt by
the holders Of licenses was the vigilance
of the excise board. Though no direct
threat was made, saloon keepers feared
a failure to observe the usual restraint
might cause the board to refuse a re-
newal of their licenses when applied for.
The new licenses would be necessary No
vember !, the very day the city would
again be under an excise law.

Religion.

Religion discloses to man the significance of the one eternal
 law which as the law of duty guides the free and noble and as
 the law of nature governs ignoble
 instruments. The religious man
 comprehends this law and feels
 it living within himself as the
 law of the eternal development of
 the one life. How each individual
 monument of our earthly life is cOmprehended in that eternal de |velopment of the one original di- vine life he cannot indeed un- derstand, because the infinite has no limit and therefore can never
 be embraced by him, but that ev- ,ery one of these moments does absolutely lie contained within this development of the one life
 he can directly perceive and clearly recognize. What wax the law of duty to the moral man >is to him the inward progression of the one life which directly reveals itself as life. What is tn" law of nature to others is to him the development of tn" outward and apparently inanimate mani ; fpStatiOn of that one life. --.Jo- ham GOttlieb Fichte.

FUTURE GOLD SUPPLY.

The eminent mining eng Ginrrr and expert in all matters rrla'- ing to he gold fields and tn gold mine production. who sees no probability of change Tn the present rate of output would thus give an assurance tn the world of finance and commerce that II has long been hoping for, were it not for certain reservations that even an acknowledged au- thOritv in any line is always wise in making when talking of the fu- ture.
 John Hays Hammond, after expressing the belief that dur ing the next decade, at least, there will be no diminution m gold production," pauses before he adds, in substance, that with regard to. discovery of new sources of supply almost any thing can happen. Gold is where you find it, he says, in conilrma- lion of the experience of many who have preceded him. This, ne points out has been eXcmplified in a section of the Rand which geoloeists would not call promls- ing. So it may be that future in
 estigations in South .America Africa and Asia will result in the discovery of deposits that "may contribute in an important de- gree to the worlds output of gold
 Where Mr.. Hammond is most pOsitive is in relation to furth- CT improvements in metallurglcal prOcesSeS of a character calcu- lated to increase the increment by extraction from the ore. He holds that inasmuch as these methods have already reached a high state of perfect i"n--many present. day processes extracting as high as 90 per cent or the gold ore runtents--a maximum rtfI- ciency has been tu a great eX- tent discounted. There will, he admits. be economies in the prn- ceSses themselves, that will count to the profit of the rrducer. There may. and probably will, be great er economy hereafter in the min- ing of the meial. Taking all the factors into consderat ion, the outlook is against diminution of the supply of the metal. Farther than this it is impossible to go; farther than this it is unneces- sary to go al this time.
 Unquestionably, knowledge that the output would not be greatly increased in the future were such k owledge obtainable. would go far toward solving the problem of establishing an unNarying standard of values. But no such knowledge is within human reach. Only small part of the earth has been prOSpected. There are immense areas still untrOd- den by the gold hunter. In this respect, as in many others equal ly or more important, mankind must confess absolute ignorance as to the yield of the continents and the coming centuries. .-Chris- tian Science Monitor.
