Webster's W .sPropOsed
For Commerce Building

To the Editor of The Star:
In The Star of July 16 there was an
article concerning the impending COM
pletion of the new Department of Com
merce Building in this city and the
inscription to be cut into the stone over
the central portion of the building,
fronting on Fourteenth street, / pre-
sumo.
respectfully suggest the following
extract from Daniel Webster'S speech at
Niblo's Saloon, New York, on March Is,
1887, at which gathering Chancellor
Kent presided and introduced Senator
Webster, the speaker of the evening:
Looking. gentlemen, over our whole
country, comprehending in our survey
the Atlantic Coast, with its thick popu-
lation its advanced agriculture, It's ex-
tended commerce, its manufactures
and mechanic arts, its varieties of
communication, its wealth and its gen.
eral Improvements; and looking then
to the interior, to the immense tracts
OF fresh, fertile and cheap lands,
bounded by so many lakes and watered
by so many rivers, let me ask If such
map was ever before presented to the
eye of any statesman as the theater for
the exercise of his wisdom and patriot
ism. And let me ask, too If any such
man is fit to act part on such
theater who does not comprehend the
whole of it within the scope of his
policy and embrace 1t all as his
country"
This is my suggestion for the inscrip-
ton on the new Commerce Building.
The following extract from Webster's
speech in the Senate on January 81 :,
1884, on THE Removal of the Deposits
From the Bank of the United States"
and entitled oTha Not TIafrn4 ~
the Poor TO the Rich" is suggested as
the inscription to 60 on the new Labor
Department Building In this city:
Sir, the great interest of this great
country, the producing cause of all It's
prosperity, is labor! Iaborl Iaborl
We are laboring community. A vast
majority of us all live by industry and
actual employment in some of their
forms. The Constitution was made to
protect this industry, to give it both
announcement and security, but, above
all, security
1t is unnecessary to discuss Daniel
Webster. His equal as an orator has
never arisen in this country. He stands
as Americas greatest orator and her
greatest statesman in history. In this
writer's opinion, and in the opinion of
many persons, Webster was both the
greatest American Of his time and the
ablcst since the very beginning of the
Nations political existence ever TO serve
the American people. His addresses and
person have become monumental, his
words gripping his orations and
speeches the supreme political litera-
tllre of the Nation.
From what other learned American
could a quotation for inscription pur-
poses command the universal assent of
the people? MARK GIBSON.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY pH1LANpER JOHNSON.

Landmarks.
Now, hs I look the landscape DER.
There comes unto my gaze
The spots knew 80 well Of yore,
In distant wintry days.
Here where the stately rosebush stands
In Summers ruthless glow,
With chilly feet and weary hands,
used to shovel snow.
And where the dandelion smiles,
Beneath the balmy spell
That's woven by each breeze's wiles---
That's where slipped and fell.
To songs Of other days, VOW,
listen all unmoved.
The days that we are getting now
Are much to be approved.

| say, is almost negative to both the call
| for dinner and the call for bed.
Sheer animal instinct. however. forces
| # to give an adherence, although an
unwilling one, to the craving for food.
Perhaps minutes, at most 10, may
| be given to dinner by the average juve-
nile intent on the supreme duty of roll
/ ing around on wheels just a little bit
! longer, please.
The call to bed Is more reserved,
slightly modified, whereas the call to
dinner is issued with infinite determi-
nation, which seems to say, as it does
say:
II you don't
come home at once and eat this nice
spinach, which I have prepared for
you, you will never grow up to be Presi-
dent of the United States, and thus
which goes wrong in the country blamed
upon YOU, Johnnie -e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e."
Not even the most expert judge, in
which class we place ourself, OF course,
could tell by looking at them which
mother had the best chance of winning
in the first international child-calling
contest.
Often frail-looking women make the
best yellers, II so necessary an appeal
NAV be called a yell" and large, robust
females cannot be heard across the
street.
The lady who would take the BOBBY
prize in the contest would be the ultra
dignified caller, who feels that she must
call, but would rather not.
See her stand on the front steps,
determination in her eye, yet some
thing freezing her throat. First she
thinks that perhaps" she had better
walk around the block but it is hot
night, and Jimmy may not be around
there, after all.
How she wishes James would not
play with that Smith boy. He Is rough,
and uses bad language, something
which Jamie-e-e-e-e-e-e-e never does.
If she calls, perhaps he will hear her.
She calls; but it is pitifully weak She
will win no prize in this contest, one
may predict.
| We select for winner of the grand
prize certain athletic lady whom we
| have not seen for many months, but
whose clear, champion-iike voice still
rings in our ears.
This lady was the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of child whose nickname was,
I'VE will say, Dee. 1t was that sort of
name, one syllable, and that containing
the most used vowel in the English
language.
This fact alone would give this
mother a definite handicap over
mothers whose children wagged around
with them names Of difficult yelling
qualities.
Who could scream "Throckmorton"
over the tree tops effectively?
But Dee" was name of another
sound. With it deftly placed on the
tongue and then hurled into the clear
stiffness of Summers eve, the woman
we have in mind easily bore home the
prize, a plate of spinach poetic
JUSTICE.
If ever the child-calling contest shall
become reality, and this woman pre-
vailed upon to enter, there can be no
doubt of the results.
We would be willing to wager that
she would win, hands down-that is
voice down-in any fair contest, based
upon actual living conditions with
plenty of other noise, including radios,
and adequate voice barriers, such as
houses, trees, etc.
Not only distance covered, but results,
would have to be considered, for no
mother could win whose Johnie-e-e-e-e
failed to come home, of course.
