SALE TERMINATES
PERPETUAL LEASE
Hampton Shops, Inc, Buy
Site of Il Story Building on
East Fiftieth Street.

The Hampton Shops Inc. decorators,
have purchased from Helena B. Garvey
Hayden the ground site Of their eleven
story building at 1920 East Fftieth
street, measuring 562x100.5. on the
south side of the street facing st.
Patricks Cathedral.
The sale terminates one Of the most
unusual leases ever drawn i'm New York
city. 1t was remarkable because 1t was
made to operate practically In perne-
tuity with no reappraisals. 1t was
drawn in 1898 by Andrew Jeffries Gar
vey. an old time politician, to Arthur
II. Cutler of the Cutler School. The
property then contained two substantial
dwellings. The lease was to begin in
1894 and was to run for twenty years
at $500 year, The lease also car
ried options for similar terms to run
indefinitely and the rental called for
In the first term was to be continued
throughout the renewals. Usually leases
are made with rental values based on
reappraisements OF the property every
twenty-one years.
The taxes on the Garvey property
at that time were Sl,03740 a year and
1t was agreed that the owner would
always pay this tax, but that all taxes
above that amount were to be paid by
the tenant
In 1908 the Cutters assigned the lease
10 w. w. a. I. M. Hall. and six years
later they disposed OF it TO the Grand
Rapids Furniture Company, which i'm
proved 1t with an eleven story building.
This subsequently became the property
OF the Hampton Shops, Inc. The Mu-
ilai Life Insurance Company has adj
vanced loan OF $500. 900 on the prop
erty.

Mrs. H. E. Taylor of kensngton wins the $1.00 today and with the recompense goes the reorganization of the judge for ad- herring so closely to the rules of the contest.
 Charlotte w. Taylor of Pennington continues to write poetry every day. The judge wanted to award her the S1.0o many a time but the poems, as d rule, are too long.
 The judge is going to cast his de- cision, about long poetry, aside, to print q poem by H. R. Boardman. The thought expressed is wonderful. and it shows us that Mir.

1.-THE literary world celebrates this week tn
/ il hundredth anniversary of of its mos
/ erratc characters and greatest men--Shclly. The
1 English poet might be considered the laureate o
| world Bolshevism il the maturer works produced
shortly before his tragic death were left out oi
consideration. He translated into song the spirit
of revolt that made his generation uneasy. He
lived in time comparable in many respects to
the present The echoes OF Napoleons cannon
still were ringing Europe The nations were
suffering from the aftermath OF the great wars.
Nobody was satisfied. England was. torn is
the United States today between violent reaction
on one side and radicalsm the other Shelly,
an arstocrat by birth and youth of lively mag
ination, made common cause with the radicals
Aside from its high literary quality perhaps
the outstanding feature of his is its enthu-
siasm. Queen Nab and the Revolt of Islam
embody great many foolish ideas. But the sin
cery of the author and his eagerness in the cause
in which he was enrolled are obvious everywhere.
The was, indeed, that peculiar combination of
parlor Bolshevist and genius. Fortunately for his
fame he beginning to rid himself OF the
nonsense which cloudcd his real ability when he
died. His later works on which his permanent
reputation rests have little of the cheap gilt of
political and economic radicalism. The Cenci is as
conservative as Shakespeare-and perhaps the
greatest dramatic production in the English Ian
guage since Shakespeare died.
Shelly as poet so far outranked himself as
sociologist that the crack-braned young radical
largely has been forgotten. The mention of his
recalls his charming lyrics. Clouds" "Ode
to the West Wind etc, which in every school
reader Not person in 5000, probably, has
read Queen Nab"
Shelly will remain for centuries to come one
OF the great outstanding geniuses of English liera
ture. Much of his actual production will be for
gotten, but the world will be long in forgetting
the himself
He stands before US as sort of literary
Gaahad, disappearing bridges of fire at the
moment of his greatest promise. AS it is he is en-
titled to favorable rank with the eight ten
greatest names in English literature-with Milton
with Pope, with Burns with Wordsworth, with
Tennyson, with Keats and with Browning. The
actual volume of his worthwhile work is small
but it is among the cherished possessions of the
ages.

Fairness to Negro.

To the Editor, The washinEtoe Herald.
The charge of propaganda is made
against the press in the use of the
name. negro; that the press Is par
tial in its criticism between whites
and blacks: and that IL is more
malignant in the statement of
charges touching the offenses with
which colored men are charged
than their equally guilty white
brother in viciousness and crime.
The crimes charged against COL
ored men are presented to the pub
lie through the press. not only In
glaring black faced headlines. but
in the most scathing language. ad-
vertising their shortcomings and
that of the race and bringing IL
into reproach and ridIcule and ex-
citing the intensest prejudice and
passion of the dominant race with
all the machinery of power and law
at its command.
There Is no good reason for this
and il need not be done. Less irri-
tating and infiaming language than
that given the public should be
employed and presented in the edi-
torial and news columns of the
day: and in doing so less space
might be used in portraying the
bad deeds of the negro and all
available room be given in counsel
ing a backward race how to go
forward: for one Of the most use
fully educative and forceful agen-
cies of the present age Is the free
press. II. E. BARNETT.
