HAS ADMIRATION OF WORLD
Capitol at Washington Recognized As
the Finest and Noblest Building
on the Earth.

Foundations for the central struc-
ture Of the present capitol in Washing
tOn were finished on August "a. 1918.
The old capitol had only two wings.
connected by a covered wooden bridge.
which was destroyed and the wings
damaged by the British, who set fire to
the building in 1914. Three years la
ter congress voted to remove the wings
and build the new central structure,
which with its dome was completed in
1929
The two great marble extension
wings in which the senate and house
OF representatives meet were begun in
1851 and completed for occupancy in
1859 The old dome. made of wood
and brick. was torn away In 1853. and
the present dome completed in 1864.
The great statue of the goddess Of
freedom. which rests upon the dome,
was designed by Thomas Crawford,
father Of Marion Crawford, novelist.
Charles Bufinch of Boston was the
architect of the original central struc-
ture and Thomas y. Waiter designed
the marble extensions and the present
dome He was a Phiadelphian.
The total cost OF the present capitol
was about S16.OOOOOO. and it has been
pronounced by architectural authOri
ties, both In America and Europe, to be
the greatest and noblest building in the
wOrld.-ChicagO Journal.

Discussing the ship subsidy bill
Elliot H. Goodwin, vice-president of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, declares that the government
might save $2O,OOO,OOO a year by the
eanactment of that measure.
Mr.. Goodwin points out that it cost
the government last year approx
mately $5O,OOO,OOO to operate only
part of the merchant fleet, and the
estimated deficit for the coming year
will be equally large. Mr.. Goodwin
then asks, "Do we wish to continue
this process to pay the annual deficit
rather than to make it possible to
place this fleet in the hands of private
owners, taking it from under govern
ment control and giving the Ameri
can Merchant Marine a chance to ex-
ist as an American industry, serving
all other American industries?"
That is the great question. It
would be a hardy person indeed who
would contend that the governments s
operation of the merchant marine has
been successful. There has been a
steady loss, which promises to in
crease if the present ARRANGEMENT is
continued. Not only that, but there
has been a decline in ship-building
until we are now getting well down
the list, third, at last reports, both
Great Britain and Germany leading
us. We are a poor third.
During the war the United States
was first by large margin. Natur-
ally it was not thought that this posi-
ton could be maintained without 6
struggle, but then there was no ides
that the slump would be so great il
our shipbuilding. And the worst o.
it is that this decline has been re
ceived with Indifference in many part
of the country, in districts wher
there is hostility to the propose
fathered by President Harding for up
building the merchant marine throug
"a ship subsidy.
Mr.. Goodwin declared that if
should be wrong, as the opponents q
the subsidy contend, to take none
from the taxpayers and employ it
fostering a private industry, it woul
be just as wrong to take an eve
larger amount to maintain the me
chant marine in Federal hands as
Socialistic experiment. The gover
ment in the past has aided priva
enterprises when the larger view al
vision were in sight.
At any rate captains of indust
believe that it would be far better f
all concerned of the-ship subsidy mea
ure should be passed and if the ma
chant marine should be placed in p
vate hands. President Harding
firm in that belief, and that is why
is so anxious that the measure shot
be passed
The government made a great fas

of i'll luck in managing the merch;
