1899, Virginia corporation. with capital OF
$Izooo,ooo bonds and $Io.oooooo stock.
For this Sza.ooo.ooo of bonds and stocks. accord
ing to the commissions report were secured assets
whose highest market value was $o.645,548. How
ever to be ultra fair, the commission adds to these
securities all the bonds OF the included corporations
and the stocks and bonds of two other roads pur-
chased later. This makes total of SI2,847,ooo for
which the $z2,ooo,ooo exchanged.
These two roads added to the company's list
were the Washington and Glen Echo and the City
and Suburban. The securities so added had face
value of ST. 100000 and for them exchanged ST.
$4,000 of w. T. & E. bonds ST 100000 Of its stock
and $500 266 in cash total OF $z83I, zoo Neither

Suburban recently out of the hands of re-
ceiver and "had paid dividend" One may
be excused for wondering how much Of the total
recorded as used in payment ever got past the
hands of the purchasing agents. The c. & S. had a
deficit of $67yo7I for the year ending August 81,
1900. The w. &. G. E. dinky concern, had lost
SI8IoI. Yet, the commission says, the w. T. &
E. obligated itself to pay $s6ooo year interest
in order acquire these roads, besides issuing ST.,
100000 in cash and paying $3o6, 200 in cash.. Again
comes the inevitable query: Was the cash the actual
consideration? If so, to many, it would seem too
much. But the Washington patrons OF the w. R.

the equivalent of the stock.

Chief of Staff.

DRESIDENT HARDING has cut the Gordan
knot of army organization and on the recon-
mendation of Secretary Weeks, has made Gen.
Pershing Chief of Staff. No other appointment the
President has made has been popular. Gen.
Pershng was the logical man. The country is en-
titled the advantages of his experience and train
ing especially that of the world
For two years he was one of the Big -Four of
the allied armies. He knows intimately the organ
ization and policies of the British and French
les, as we'll as that of other countries. He has seen
the greatest war machines the world ever knew in
each of them. He has. seen what stood the strain
and what had to be discarded.
His first job, when he went to France, to
organize field staff. He not only learned what
that must include, but what the organization away
back of this line, the business part OF the war,
must provide. There is not element which en-
tiers into war, from preparations, the necessity pre-
provisions and skeleton machine. to the actual
operations in the field, with which he is not familiar.
He knows the personnel of the army and certainly
those who served with him in France may well
hope for recognition, all too long withheld.
There has been a strong undercurrent OF pub
lie opinion which would, if permitted, have strongly
opposed any other choice for this office. There
would have been great disappoin ntment if his ap-
pointment had not come. The generals choice as
chief Of war staff, gave great satisfaction,
but this was regarded rather a makeshift and
liable to conflict of authority. The solution the
President has finally reached, is the right one; there
will be but head OF the army and that is
the one most worthy and competent to fill the posi-
ton

CHAINS OF MONKEYS
DO NOT BRIDGE RIVERS.

Do you remember that interesting
picture in your primary school geog-
raphy showing a troupe Of monkeys
merrily crossing a river by the
seemingly simple expedient of
Erssping tails and swinging them
selves across in a chain? That in
teresting scene that has probably
stuck in your mind all these years
is fiction, originated in the seven
teenth century. according TO z. A

watched many monkey gatherings
and expeditions In the tree tops in

Lionel Wafer. a surgeon and ex-
plorer Of 2eO years ago, visited Pan

counts Of the mammals there. and
up to a few years ago his observa-
tions had been accepted as facts.
But thorough Investigations Of to-
day show him to be a candidate for
Roosevelt's famous club OF nature

RINGS on SCALES TELL
HOW OLD II A FISH.

You can tell the age Of a tire by
the number Of annual rings il shows
when cut across. Each growing
season the tree adds on a new layer
Of wood TO its circumference ana
each winter IL ceases growing Tor
a time.
Similarly the scales OF = nsh add
to their outer margins each season.
II you examine an individual scale
carefully you will see wide bands
representing the rapid growing Pc
riod Of spring and summer, sepa-
rated by narrow. broken. darker
bands. the bands Of winter when
growth and life are at an ebb.
In the case Of tree you can tell
by the width and condition OF
ring whether a particular season
was one Of plenteous rainfall or Of
drought. So from the bands on
nsh's scales you can determine
whether a particular summer Of its
life was favorable or unfavorsble
in warmth, food and other living
conditions.
Different species Of fsh have very
different lengths Of life. The Pa
cifc coast salmon spends two or
three years at sea. comes 20 an In
land lake to spawn and then dies
before reaching the ocean again.
whereas the carp and some other
FISH are reported to i've as long as
a century.
The scales OF the Longer living
fishes may Re much worn down
from hard usage, but each year a
new band OF growth is always add
ed on to the weathered edge.

THE EDITOR
Defends Joint Stock Banks.
o the Editor. The Washington Herald /:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
This is written in the interests
of the farmer-the farmer whose
land is under foreclosure - whose
land is now advertised for sale-the
farmer whose time of redemption is
fast drawing to a close
Can you realize what 1t means
to them and their families-thou-
sands of them all over this coun-
try-whether or not Congress acts
on the bills that will make inoper-
ative the Joint stock land banks?
For their sakes and their families
there should be at once an adverse
report on all bills in committee
that are directed against the joint
stock land banks, and that quickly.
So long as these bills are pending
it is difficult, il not impossible. for
these banks to sell their bonds and
make the needed loans, and every
days delay adds to the embarrass-
ment of the man who is trying to
save his farm. If these bills pass,
but VI. feel sure they will not, for
we believe that there are not
enough United States Senators who
would thus harm the farmer-out
IL they should pass, 1t means that
there are thousands of farm mort
cages that will be foreclosed. These
joint stock land banks are the
farmers best friends. There is no
corporation or institution, or combi-
nation of corporations or banks.
which is doing for the farmer what
the joint stock land banks can and
would do II Congress will just per-
NIT them to.
We appreciate the great work the
Federal Farm Loan Bank is doing.
There are splendid men at the head
of this board, but the largest
amount any one can obtain through
the Federal Farm Loan Board Is
$500 and per cent of a loan is
always retained until the last pay
ment is ms4. The joint stock Iand
banks retain not a dollar, and can
loan a larger sum IL the security Is
twice the amount needed.
We do not see the heads of any
others banks or corporations COM
ing here and asking that they lose
y per cent in order to secure loans
for farmers, which Is really what
the joint stock land banks do when
they ask that they may be allowed
to pay y, per cent more interest on
their bonds without charging any
additional interest to the borrower
Now, IL Congress will permit this
and will defeat the other bills that
will make imperative these joint
stock land banks, thousands of
acres will be saved to their present
owners.
The amount the government loses
by the tax exemption of joint stock
land banks bonds is infinitesimal
compared with what the farmer
loses for this country.
From the viewpoint of a farmer.

Prisons Must Reform Men.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
We hope for a better understand
ing in the treatment of prisons and
prisoners. but before a great deal
can be done, however, we must have
the public conscience aroused to the
fact that our prisons do not exist
merely for punishment. They really
should furnish means and methods
for reforming the men sent to them.
To sentence a man for term OF
years so that he is deprived of his
liberty is in itself a punishment to
him. But to return him to society
without teaching him useful labor.
without instilling within him a de-
sire to 60 straight. and without
improving his attitude toward So
ciety is, after all, a system by which
society Furnishes itself. Nothing
has been accomplished beyond pay
ing the man back" for his offense
against society, and the discharged
prisoner starts in to pay back the
State" 1t is an endless and vicious
circle. The man returns to prison
over and over again. He remains
as a liability to the State, ana never
becomes an asset.
Most prisons have practically
eliminated the very obvious unpleas-
ant features which offend the eyes
of society, with the result that we
are beginning to have excellent
prison buildings and equipments: In
short. We are getting good prisons.
and by means OF sanitation, baths,
dining-rooms, and other material
things, We are commencing to make
good prisoners.
But the larger problem to solve
is how to make good men out Of
good prisoners In good prisons-
1t is to answer. at least partially.

recommended a more adequate edu-
cational program. a system Of vo-
cational training. payment OF
