Every president of this nation
who has been in the forefront
has been an object for the
character wrecker. Washing
ton, Adams, Grant, Lincoln,
Mckinley, Cleveland, Wilson,
Roosevelt and Harding have all
been the target for the mud
singing ghouls in books
printed by INSCRIPTIONS pub
fishers and sold by newsdealers
who are willing for profit to
wallow in the mire. Now
comes a book entitled "The
Strange Career of Mr.. Hoover, I"
written by an alien-born wreck
in collaboration with an ex-
policeman who soured on the
G. 0. P. by reason of being a
Democrat at the last election,
and printed by native of
Austria who is publisher of
obscene literature and has put
in two terms in prison and by
all methods of right thinking
should be there yet.
After circulating the sour
rilous bunk, the author became
panicy and has repudiated the
screed against President Hoo
yer. The author admitted in
a letter which is now public
document that the book was
libelous and devoid of truth.
The character of the man as
sailed in such a libel is such as
to preclude the possibility of
going to bat in the courts for
redress. However, the book
has sown seeds of suspicion
among those who profess them
selves the only honest men on
the face of Gods footstool and
whose ambition is to drag
others down to the low level
they themselves occupy.

country is such as to allow

valuation on character that has

President of Dodge Corporation Cites Refuge Against

Mr.. Morgan said:
1T Is real fun to own a home where
you are proud to entertain your friends.
You have taken upon yourself very
definite purpose in life. The stimula-

IN NEW BUILDING
Dodge Statistician Sets Fig.
ure for First Quarter
! of 1882.

A construction volume of $3.50, ,000,0 600
for the entire country, inclusive Of low
cost new and alteration projects, may
be produced in the first quarter Of 1882
according to forecast made public
this week by L. Seth Schnitman, chief
statistician, F. w. Dodge Corporation.
. Such construction would show that
although this balance wheel of Ameri-
can industry turns more slowly, 1t still
is turning and at a pace which ap-
proXimateS pre-boom conditions, he
points out.
A total of $3.50, ,OOo,O 900 as maxi
mum volume for the current quarter
would not be of the Gargantuan pro-
portions to which the American indus
trial appetite has been whetted during
the past decade, yet it would represent
huge expenditure of large significance
TO labor and material producers.
ss75,O0O,O ,O00 in Wages.
It would represent about $275, 900, 900
in wages for building tradesmen and
about $3.50, 900 for building mate
rails, he believes, and would give work
TO hundreds of thousands of men. He
estimates that a program OF the size
foreseen would require the work Of
about $4,000 building tradesmen.
StreSsing that the troubles inherited
from the boom must be cured, and
they are being cured week by week,
Mr. Schnitman points to certain retard-
ing influences which operate to make
knowledge of the revival point diff
cult. Among them he lists continued
real estate defiation, mortgage bond de-
faults, foreclosures. high real estate
taxes and threat of lower wage scales
among building tradeSmen.
Losses Seen During 1882.
zone can hardly say when the re-
tarding factors will be removed" Mr..
Schnitman states in his forecast in
General Building Contractor, but when
enough of them have been corrected
building will be ready to increase on the
basis of sound demand. On a per-
centage basis, the first-quarter esti-
mates therefore show the following in
dicated losses from the like 1881 pc
riod: Total construction, 20 per cent at
least; residential building 20 per cent
at least; non-residential building, 25
per cent, and public works and utili-
ties, 80 per cent.
The first quarter of 1882 may pro-
duce a construction volume of $780,
600, 900 for the entire country, inclu-
sive of low-cost new and alteration
projects If this total should be
reached, residential building will prob
ably approximate $180000,000, nom
residential building will account for
about 5000, 900 and public works and
utilities should approximate 1920, ,000,-
O0C. These indicated totals, represent
ing the best that may be expected, in
each instance means losses from the
corresponding quarted of 1891.
ssFTI1{c acffy~1o+o he fYrf fIfto rfe
II projected forward, would indicate a
years total fairly well below that of
1881. To estimate the entire year on
this basis would overlook the possibility
that a small house-building revival
might occur in the Spring. To esti-
mate on the basis that such a revival
will occur would be to stake too much
on highly uncertain possibility. The
beginnings of such a revival, If there
is to be one, would be likely to appear
after March 49,"
