u. S. IS WORLDS RICHEST NATION
WITH $187,739,O71, 900

The United States is the richest nation
In the world. according to the latest pup
LEGATION of the Census Bureau. entitled
ESTIMATED Valuation of national
Wealth. which gives the totals OF COM
parative wealth of nations from the year
1850 down to 1912. A brief summary OF
this bulletin given out some time ago
by the Census Bureau did not contain
many interesting details of the complete
publication.
The international comparison, however,
is not that Of the United States but an
Englishman's combing from a dictionary
of statistics by A. ID. Webb, of the Royal
Statistical Society. in which the wealth
of the world IL studied as Of the year
1904. In this compilation the wealth Of
the United States, not counting Alaska.
Hawaii. Porto Rico. or the Philippines. is
given as $l07. l0i. 1872 900, while that OF Great
Britain is placed at $los, 219, So. 0co the
wealth Of Canada, Australia. India. South
Africa and all her colonies being counted
In.
The bulletin also includes a wealth COM
parison made last year by DIR. Karl Helf-
frich, in his book. "Germany's Economic
Progress and National Wealth. DR..
Helffrich found that our wealth eight
years later than the English estimate
was sll9. coo. 10000. Encland's he put at
s54. 40 100000 to s61. $50. OOO, 900. and Ger
many ne nNed at SbS,UlUNp.tD, 10 80, l6i, =
ocO.OOo. while to France he attributed the
possession of S55, a9l 900 600.
The Total Estimate.
All this. however. is eclipsed by the
report now made by the Census Bu-
reau. This latest grand total made for
the year 1912 has reached $1SI.739.071.-
900. OF this vast amount $S0.634.6S0
represents the increase since 1904. and
the increase since 1900 is $s9.221.764.
BIS. If averages would apply. we have
therefore been adding to our national
wealth since 1904 at the rate of $10,-
100000 900 a year. and since 1900 at
the rate of $s.200.00O. 900. The national
wealth manifestly more than doubles
every decade.
An examination of the various ele-
ments in the estimate such as real
estate. railroads, live stock. manufac-
turing plants, street railways, tele-
graphs. telephones, mining products.
and substantially every single item
that enters into our national wealth,
shows that in the decade the grand to-
tai of value has more than doubled. and
in many items there has been a treb-
ling and quadrupIing of value. either
actual or resulting from more search
ing and adequate enumeration of con-
stituent estimates.
The following figures are taken from
a census table showing where our
wealth is to be found:

Teaching Tempera nee.

Editor Of The Washington Herald:
Your editorial commencing the Balti-
more judge for rejecting the plea of in
toXication as defense for the commits
sion of crime meets with my hearty
approval l have held for some time that
the man who drinks the whisky and not
the man who sells il should receive the
punishment. Your closing sentence
states the case in a nutshell Very few
men become intoxicated by accident, and
holding man accountable for his ac-
tons, drunk or sober is the best way to
teach temperance"
The man who INDUCES to excess in the
use of drugs or intoxicants that impair
his judgment and decrease his efficiency
is guilty of an offense against the COM
munity and should either be punished
or restrained A man buys whisky and
drinks il. knowing in advance what the
probable effect will be. When he has
committed an offense against society we
let him off as easy as possible because
he was drunk, and we reserve our con-
domination for the man who sold him the
whisky. This is putting the cart before
tho horse.
The best way to curtail the selling of
whisky is to restrict the demand. II the
man who drinks to excess We're punished,
not by q Tne, Dut pH Imprisonment at

he incurred the penalty a second time.
and the sale of LIQUOR would be automat-
ically checked. | would not interfere
with his liberty to drink all he wants to,
but would hold him responsible for any
interference with the rights or comfort
of other people. If the problem of re-
strictinc the sale of intoxicants were at
tackled from this end l believe the re-
suits would be more satisfactory.

The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-06-06

Editor of The Washington Herald
Are you not taking Brother Hoke
Smith rather too seriously in your
editorial describing him as a Ger
man apologist?" Is he new to you?
Don't you remember him as governor
of Georgia when his proclamations on
various occasions were the theme OF
comment?
Night riders appeared in certain
sections of Georgia. worrying people
men and w0men-by taking them out
at midnight for whipping, and some
times burning their barns and crops.
The governor promptly issued a
procla nation saying he would employ
the entire powers of the State at his
command for their suppression. Moth
ing being done. the riders appeared
again, and once more. The same
proclamation was issued in each case.
Nothing doing.
A riot occurred between two fac
tions of negroes with "razors in the
air." endangering the innocent by
stander. 4 procla mation was issued
threatening that the whole power of
the State would be used for its sup
preston. Nothing doing; riot went
on.
Several strikes, Industrial and rail-
road. were pulled off with violence.
Again the proclamation invoking the
full powers of the State. etc. The
strikers settled matters themselves in
each case paying little or no heed to
the proclama tions.
In the interior sections of the
State of Georgia Brother Hoke is
looked upon by the villagers as a
great and good man. and perhaps the
greatest statesman in this or any
country. He has secured the appoint
ment of many of his devoted followers
to office.
In Skher quarters. however. he is
not so regarded, but rather as a
mediocre statesman and shrewd poll
tician with an eye out for the main
chance. He is not of the gum shoe
or sy-footed Variety in his meth
DDS. but one who loudly proclaims his
views upon public questions in a voice
tuned TO catch the ear of the voter
1t is said that the German vote
of Georgia is of considerable size and
by no means to be neglected.

particular dog is a monster OF ugllness. He Is
built low with short curved legs, and he has the
ugliest face imaginable, with a protruding jaw
indicating character OF fierce and unsympathetic
determination. and with parted lips that reveal
three cleaning white and dangerously sharp teeth
Strangers meeting this dog often shrink away
Then he begins to growl. At the sound OF his

rapidly. The growing increases. Occasionally
there are signs of pursuit. Yesterday saw him

have never known him to actually bite any
one And yet | have often seen him reach the
point where biting seemed the next inevitable
step. But in the presence OF his master and of
the friends of his master there is an amazing
change in that dog. He becomes gentle, docile,
affectionate He plays with the children OF his
master, and allows them to roll him on the floor
and to maui him. At such times the expression
of his mouth actually suggests laughter.
Occasionally he msbehaves and gets scold-
ing. Then he sinks into corner and grieves.
As rule, those who scod him feel sorry that
they have to relent. They go up and pat him af-
feetionately on the back Then he jumps on
them. his jaws opening into OF those big
smiles. his tail waggng, his whole being express
ing love and joy.
Now the dog who scares strangers who at the
least sign of fear provocation shows the desire
to fight, is the same dog who, with those he loves
and those who love him, reveals himself as the
most submissive and the tendercst OF animals.
Human beings are exactly like that dog.
tagonize u.s. we instantly reveal the worst in our
natures unless there is some for putting
strong restrain upon ourselves
And even where do put restraint upon our
selves resentment in itself and creates
evil feelings and evil thoughts.
We all know people who make appear at
our worst. Instinctivey dislike them. Some
times we openly resent them and inAct punish
ment.
And the more we punish them and the more
we resent the greater seems their power to bring
out the evil in
We all have such people in consciousness.
Unless very forgiving and generous, every
time we think OF them we feel uncomfortable,
perhaps bitter.
Sometimes we wonder why such people
treat eontemptibly.
But we seldom ask ourselves if, in the
seriousness OF others, we can be included among
such ill-behaved people.

Building Department Conditions.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
was much pleased when ! read the
article in The Herald this morning
concerning the investigation of the
building department / sincerely hope
that you will make as good job of
this as you have recently in a very
important case. i see in todays
Herald that the engineer commits
sioner. Maj. Cults, gives as the rea-
son for the men engaging in outside
practice that the salaries are so
small they have to engage in outside
work Now. never heard man
cast a greater reflection on himself
than Maj. Cults did when he made
that remark. II he is aware that
sa la ries are too small then he should
not keep men working for them, when
il is in his power to make the SAL
aries what they should be. Now,
these small salaries the major speaks
of run from $50 a month to $4,000 a
year, and just at this time hundreds
of men would gladly fill those posi-
lions at $50 a month. and not rob
the government of the time it re-
auires to make the plans for out
side work One employee of the build
ing department not only makes plans
for private parties. but Is taking
building contracts, and Is now build
ing several houses for which he is
the contractor. Another one does
such an extensive business outside
for private parties that IL requires
two automobiles for him and his as
sistants to go around in.
In all other government departments
when work gets slack you will find
that they reduce the force to cut
down expenses, especially in the de-
partment where the mechanical work
is takn care of. but in the building
department for the past two years.
since this great depression has been
In the building business. the same
force has been kept on as has been
kept on In the business times. This
is wrong. and we the unemployed
architects and craftsmen are going TO
