LETTER MI'

NEA Service Writer

! WASHINGTON. = There is NOR
and more talk about what some per
sons conceive to be a trend in thi
! country toward dictatorship such a.
some of the European countries art
sporting, and now comes word tina
lGCmething o. the sort is being estab
lished almost on this country's from
steps.
| Mr.. P. Thoby, administrator de.
legue of the Union PatriOtique d'Haiti
issues vigorous complaint about PreSi-
dent Borno's revamping of the Haitian
constitution. Twelve articles have beer
modified and IS suppressed, he says
which amounts to the suppression Of
the constitution itself"
''All the principles on which modern
government is based have been elimi-
nated," says Thoby. "There are nc
more constitutional guarantees for the
freedom of the press, the jury and
popular election. Everything is left to
the executive power, who, through the
domeSticated council Of c+o+o can now
enact all sorts of laws, which the SUI
preme court cannot doolo-- -.--oonsti-
tutional. All the city councils are
u
tinct in Haiti"
Of course, the United States is in
command of Haiti at this time, but
Thoby says that our General Russell
will return there in September to "or-
ganize the federal plebiscite by which
the Haitian people must ratify the
constitutional reform of his pupil,
Louis Borno."
1t was the dusky Borno who barred
Senator King from Haiti.
Republican politicians and organs
are uniting in defense of General Leo

Philippines, who recently returned to

Wood has come in for ro'@-'-' -'--'-'-'-

handling of the Filipinos, but it ap-

both sides.
In contrast to the reception given
Wood on his return was the reception
on the return from Turkey of Rear
Admiral Mark L. Bristol, who served
eight years as American high commits
sioner at Constantinople. Apparently
no one has been able to pick any holes
in Rristols splendid performance in
the difficult and delicate job he has
lust relinquished. He kept out of the
limelght during his brief STAY in

n othing but praise for his past
achievements and confidence in his
ability to handle any and all problems
which will confront him in the Far
East.

Mining Firm Spends
S205, 1924 In Arizona
Years First Quarter

Arizona products for esthetic as
well as industrial purposes figure in
the "trade at home" policy of at least
one Arizona mining company. And
while production of copper and other
metals may be the reason for the COM
pany's existence, that objective has
not prevented it from doing bit to-
ward more attractive home and public
grounds.
Mingled in the bulk of weightier
and more prosaic commodities listed
in purchases of Arizona products by
the United Verde Copper company
since the first of the year are items
that look odd beside the others
seeds" plants and Seeds" plants,
seeds and flowers" Fittingly, the
company combines "Use Arizona
Products" in its encouragement of
natural beauty for beauty's sake.
Arizona purchases of the United
Verde for the first quarter of this
year, according to compilation made
for the Arizona Industrial Congress,
aggregated $205,824 practically at the
same rate as last year. The SEEDS,
plants and flowers of course figured
as a very small percentage of the
total, but their presence along with
lumber and timber, lime, oxygen, ex-
plosives, printing, butter and sweep
ing compound gives an interesting
sidelight to the fact that the mines
are contributing in more than one way
to the building of better as well as
bigger Arizona.

Senator Henry Asklurst
Says Denls Haze Hope

The political horizon is clear for the
democrats, in the opinion of United
States Senator Henry f. Ashurst of
Arizona, in an interview recently at
the Hotel Astor, New York City. II
see no cause for the democrats to wor-
ry for the next campaign" he said.
eve are the party of hope, not only of
our own hope but the hope of the peo-
pie. We are the party of joy, life,
light and idealism, even if we are
licked, which we hope we won't be-"
Speaking of the Boulder dam bill
Senator Ashurst said
"Arizona's greatest asset is the
Colorado river, which flows for about
500 miles on Arizona's bosom, and the
hydroelectric power possibilities are
very great. Arizona, of course, does
not want any other state or the fed
eral government to take the heritage
which rightfully belongs to Arizona.
A state which will not fight for its
own rights would be rather weak
member ofsthe federal union. Arizona
has the vigor and the disposition to
fight for her rights. In the next ses-
sion Of congress we are going to fight
for Arizona's rights.

Advertisers Turning to
the Weekly Newspaper

Big national advertisers who have
reached the saturation point in the
dailies. magazines and other adver-
tising media must turn to the week
iies to go further, says James
O'Shaughnessy, secretary Of the Am
merican Association of Advertising
Agencies. n
"The problem is to get adequate
return on the cost per article and this
increases enormously in weeklies
because Of the expense of doing busi-
ness with them," says Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy.
Mats, absence of rates and rate
cards, improper rate forms, failure
to render bills, failure to send check
ing copies and all the other weak
nesses which are regularly and just
ly-charged against the country pub
Usher are the factors that increase the
cost of doing business with them.
"The value of the country weekly,
the place it commands in home read
ing, and the personality Of the pub
Usher known to every reader, are
factors that every advertising agent
and big advertiser recognizes. The
handicaps against taking advantage
Of the value of this home interest
circulation are keeping the business
out Of the country papers.
II would tell every publisher who
is not pulling in the harness in his
association that he is not doing his
duty to his fellow publisher, nor to
himself as a leader of the community
because he is keeping out of touch
with exchange of thought. He is
taking money out of your pocket, our
pocket, and the pocket of all the
others" The Howler of the Wiscon-
sin Press Association.

UNEARTH INDIAN
RELICS IN MINE

Some unique and amazing discov-
cries of relics have been made at the
open pit mine of the Sodium Sulphate
Products company about two miles out
of Camp Verde.
Relics unearthed are skeletons,
stone hammers, fibre shoes and moe
casins. The best of the specimens
are being sent to the University of
Arizona for study and research.
DIR. Byron Cummings, president of
the university and formerly the pro-
fessor of archaeology, believes the
relics are at least 1000 years of age.

negotiators by giving them a further
possible trading point.
Repassage Held Impossible.
To what extent Mr.. Coolidge may
have taken these considerations into
account remains undisclosed. He has
given no intimation that he has
changed his mind about the advisable
ity Of building the cruisers. 1t is
pointed out that the bill approved to-
day carried all the money for the
entire naval establishment during the
coming year, and that veto would
have left the Navy Department with
out funds to carry on. With only
two days of the session Of Congress
left, repassage of any sort of appro-
priation would have been out of the
question. 49, .... ...
Furthermore. it is not impossible
that the $45O,000 carried in the bill
for beginning work on the three
cruisers may go unexpended. On at
least one occasion recently Congress
has appropriated for naval activities
and the White House has &returned
the money. That was in the Harding
administration when fund for ele-
waiting the guns on battleships was re
turned to Congress on the ground
that it might violate the Washington
arms treaties. An appropriation for
a similar purpose has just been made
and diplomatic inquiries are under
way to determine whether 1t will
square with all interpretations of. the
treaty.

DRURY PURCHASES
SOUTHERNBU|LD|N
SO, zoo, 900 Is Said to Be In
voIved in Big Real .
Estate Deal.

In one of the largest local real es
tate transactions in years. the South
ern Building, at Fifteenth and II
streets, was bought today by Peter A.
Drury, president OF the Merchants
Bank & Trust Co., from the Southern
Building Co., through the Offices OF
Allan T.. Walker & Co. at q price re-
ported to be about $3,000,000.
While the Merchants Bank & Trust
Co. Is located in the Southern Build
ing, Mr.. Drury stated that he had
purchased. the building as an indfvid-
ual and not for the bank or any
group or syndicate. The transfer OF
Ownership, however, will mean much
to the bank by giving 1t more per-
manent home and assuring the di-
rectors Of as much additional space
as they may later. need for expansion.
Is Prominent Building.
The building Is situated on one of
the finest corners in the city. and
houses many prominent financial In
stitutions. In addition to the Mer-
chants Bank, it is the headquarters
of the International Bank. the Guar
anty Trust Co OF New York, Hen
derson- Winder Co, Weaver Brothers
and the Allan r. Walker CO., as well
as several well known law firms.
The office building was erected IN
1910 by Thompson, Sterrett q Co.
Durham & Co. of Chicago being the
architects. 1t occupies 22,212 feet OF
ground, Is nine stories in height and
contains 10000 square feet or rent
able floor area. 1t was bought by the
Southern Building Co. in 1918 from
the First National Insurance Co. The
structure stands across FL street
from the Woodward Building. On the
corner to the west Is the Shoreham
Hotel. which is soon to give way to
new office building, while on the
southwest corner stands the Union
Trust Building. that is soon to be
doubled In size.
Has Amassed Fortune.
Mr.. Drury, the new owner, has
been actively engaged in business in
Washington since 1885, during which
time he has amassed a fortune. He
was one of the organizers and presi-
dent OF the old Merchants & Mechan-
ics' Savings Bank, and was also
president Of the institution known
here for years as the National City
Bank When the present Merchant
Bank & Trust Co. was formed. Mr..
Drury was chosen as the first presi-
dent This bank later took over the
affairs of the Washington & Southern
Bank and a. little more than a. year
ago absorbed the Citizens Savings
Bank. -
The institution which he now heads
has expanded steadily until 1t has
branches at Dupont Circle. Twentieth
street and Pennsylvania avenue and in
Brookland.
