 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17 The United States treasury has marked a century since the day it's construction was ordered on the present site at 18th street and Pennsylvania avenue.
 On July 4, 1886, congress auth orized "a freproof building of such dimensions as may be re- quired for the present and future accommodations Of the depart ment, and appropriated $lOO.0OO for that purpose,
 Sponsors of the act did not plan to obstruct the view along the mile and one-half of Pennsyl- vania avenue, stretching between the White House and the capitol.
 However, Andrew Jackson. on an early morning walk, planted his cane firmly in the earth near the present northeast corner of the building and explained to those around him:
 Right here is where I want the corner stone laid"

Italy Keeping Fleet Of War
 Planes Ready
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 UNDATED, Aug. l9. - Italy is keeping fleet of 1900 fascist war planes in readiness and le it be known that she would compro- mise on the Franco-Italian agree ment over Spanish neutrality.
 Nevertheless, she cited that such compromise might mean that Italy would yield to the de- mand of Socialist France.
 Expressions of public opinion were made at Rome in behalf of the Socialist Spanish government. Earlier sources said that Musso- lini had served notice that his air fleet would aid Spanish rebels if France fails to abstain from in tervention in it's moral support of the Spanish Socialist regime.
 Rome reports further declared that Italian and French airmen had actually exchanged shots ov- CT Gibraltar, taking part in the civil war.
 Some FasciSts credited an Ital- ian bombing plane with damag ing the Spanish cruiser Jaime Primero. which sailors seized from Fascist officers.
 Jubilant rebels from Burgos headquarters declared that Italy and Germany were ready to eX- tend full recognition on the the .ory that the rebels would take Madrid.
 Rebels advanced within six hundred yards of Irun under the fire of a government torpedo boat. It was reported that the Almi- rante Cervera. one of two rebel cruisers which have been she'll inging Irun and San Sebastian in addition to Fort Guadalupe for the past two days, had been hit by the government land batter ies.

 Before Finish
(By The Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug 19. - Joe Louis of Detroit again stepped back into the heavyweight picture last night when he knocked out Jack Sharkey, a former heavy weight champion from Boston, in the third round of their schedul ed ten round bout before a crowd of 35,OOO, in the Yankee tadium The weights were Louis l99 and three-quarterrs, Sharkey l97 and one-quarter pounds.
 Louis, making his first start since he was knocked ou. by Max Schmeling of Germany in the same ring two months ago, floor ed Sharkey twice for the count of nine in the second round and sent him to the mat for another count of nine before putting over two hard lefts to end the fight af- ter one minute and two seconds of the third round.
 The negro sWarmed over the B year old Sharkey from the start, never giving the former cham pion a chance to land a clean blow.
 A right to the jaw foored Shar- key for the first time in the sec ond round and a series of rights and lefts to the head did the same thing just before the bell.
 Louis caught Jack with anoth- CT hard right early in the third, and the former champ got to his feet only to run into barage which sent him reeling to the mat for the full count.

''Practical Progressive.'' -

True to the predictions of General
Farley, the Democrats began their active
campaign on Monday. One of the big
guns was brought into action. Careful
aim was taken at the person of Gov.
Landon, and Ickes thundered.
Now that the smoke has cleared away,
it is interesting to examine the nature
OF the ammunition. About forty per
cent, one might say, was made up of
that good old combination, tried and
true and never failing: The malefactors
of great wealth, the Liberty League,
Wall Street and the economic hierarchy.
Ten per cent was made up of quoting
the candidates past utterances, an ex-
plosive that should be used sparingly in
this campaign because it has habit OF
backfiring and wounding the gunner.
And the remaining fifty per cent, if
repetition is any gauge of Importance,
consisted of haunting the candidate with
his own declaration that he is q "prac-
tical progressive"
A4AAo PAAooS, IA oSV1Sul PAO61CooAfC,
was used time and again. Secretary
Ickes seemed to sneer when he re-
peated it. He even jeered He may have
even leered. His purpose was plainly
to plaster Gov. Landon with the degrad-
ing epithet. Why was it degrading?
Secretary Ickes quoted the dictionary
definition of practical: available"
useful or valuable in practice or action"
capable of being turned to use or
account"
He did it with such soaring sarcasm
that the reader is forced to look for the
anonym of practical" and finds, in a
standard work, that it is visionary"
The reader, determined to penetrate
the mystery to its conclusion, turns to
a standard dictionary for the defini-
ton of visionary" finding there re-
corded:
Existing in Imagination only; lacking
the elements that make fu1fllment prob
able; not founded on fact; imaginary;
impractical; affected by fantasies; acting
with small regard to reality or practi-
cability.
Remembering Quoddy, the Florida ship
canal, the tree belt and boondoggling,
not to mention A. A. A., N. r. A.,
c. w. A., etc., one need look no further
for the explanation of why practical
progressive" is the subject of so much
scorn at the hands of an up-to-date

losses in great wars is unthinkable. That
it has done so, to date, Is illustrative
of lack of common sense. AS long as
the problem is kept in type, there will
remain too many persons to ask, Am
my brothers keeper?"
1t will only be when this supreme
problem is brought home to the indi-
vidual mind, as distinct from the COL
lective mind, that every one will come to
see that haste makes worse than waste,
and that we are, indeed, in world SEEM
ingly bent at times on self destruction,
our brothers keepers, in very real
sense. Sense and safety are too closely
bound up for men to go ahead forever
on the old basis of each for himself and
the devil take the hindmost. Only when
they realize that sense and safety are
one, will they engage in the good edu-
cative processes which take the motor
car out of the actual and make it
theory again, as it was in the beginning.
Then will arise in each mind the utter
absurdity of killing and manning in the
names of speed and haste, speed for
nothing, and haste which is death. When
this realization becomes personal with
everybody, sense and safety will 60

George Washington even in wartime had
little use for spies; he was fortnight in
his condemnation Of intrigue in time Of
peace. Deviousness of any sort was
abhorrent to the Father Of His Country
and to the rank and file of his con-
temporaries.
Nor did their idealism perish when the
fathers died. Their sons were similarly
mindful of the inherent rights of privacy.
For example. an old history of the Post
ONCE Department. published in 1855 and
recently rediscovered, says: '"The laws
Of the land are intended not only to pre-
serve the person and material property
of every citizen sacred from intrusion,
but to secure the privacy of his thoughts,
so far as he sees fit to withhold them
from others. Silence is as great priv
ilege as speech, and it is as important
that every one should be able to main
tain 1t whenever he pleases, as that he
should be at liberty to utter his thoughts
without restraint. The Post Office under
takes to maintain this principle with re-
gard to written communications as they
are conveyed from one person to another
through the mails"
The telegraph companies, then, had
an excellent precedent for wishing to
protect their clients messages. And the
Senate Committee would have been bet
ter advised had it been content to pursue
its inquiry by regular and accepted
methods exclusively. The scandals un-
covered by the inquisitors have not been
nearly as shocking as the means em-
ployed for disclosing them.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

pean conditions. economically or other
wise, it is not likely to have repercus-
Sions commensurate in vital significance
with the events which are occurring
kaleidoscopically in various parts of
Europe nearer at home. The interest
abroad in this years American presiden-
tial election, therefore, has assumed more
of a general academic character than it
has for some years past. The nations
on the other side of the water are not
watching the developing situation here
with the same keen intensity that they
have observed it on many former occa-
SionS.
President Roosevelts visit to Canada
emphasized the fact in the minds of
officials here that the greatest tourist
interchange between the United States
and any other country is with its neigh
Dor to the north. In monetary terms,
as well as in the number of individuals
involved, this means much in the rela-
tlons between the two countries, as
shown by estimates prepared by the De-
partment OF Commerce. The figures
reveal that expenditures by residents
of the United States who visited Cam
ada last year reached the grand total
of $l92,000,000, a far greater amount
than was spent by American tourists in
any other foreign country-France being
next with $55,000. .0O0-and some millions
more than in all overseas countries
combined. 1t was an increase from
$120, 900 the year previously. There
was also large growth in the number
of Canadians who visited the United
States, with a rise in their expenditures
from $39,0Oo,000 in 1894 to $63, ,0O0, 900
in 1885.
Having during the more than q quar-
ter of century of its existence enter
tained scores of distinguished guests and
visitors to the Nations Capital from
abroad as well as home, the National
Press Club this season has been taking

tional politics. At q luncheon in the
club auditorium on Friday this week.
Gerald l.. K. Smith, DR.. Townsend's
''right-hand man" and leader in the

These are the times that try mems

Spanish crisis being the responsible cause
of this testing period. Deeply concerned
over the welfare of its nationals who
have been caught in the throes of the
conflict now in progress in the penin-
sular country, officials of the department
here in conjunction with its representa-
tives on the ground have been utilizing
every resource at their command to see
that none of these nationals should
come to grief. As the surest means OF
accomplishing this, the main effort has
been concentrated on providing trans
port facilities and in warning American
citizens to leave the strife-torn country
for fear they might not be able to make
safe escape later.

Privacy.

Privacy, it has been charged, is be-
coming a luxury. The flight of Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh from their
native country to the relative seclusion
OF foreign lands illustrated in dramatic
form the difficulty which many indi-
viduals experience at the hands of q
public whose curiosity is Unsuitable. But

volved. The authors of the fourth
amendment to the Constitution, it may
be supposed, meant what they said when
they wrote into the basic law of the
Union the words: "The right of the
people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects, against un-
reasonable searches and seizures shall
not be violated" Presumably, they were
aware of the fact that inquisitors on
occasion might find some temporary and
eXpedient advantage In prying into the
correspondence of individuals under sus-
picion. Yet it is logical to believe that
they also were conscious of the dangers
of such procedure. The trick was not
new; 1t had been one of the devices of
those ministers of George III who
vainly had sought to preserve to England
the thirteen colonies from which the
United States was formed and of those
kings of France who prepared the Revo-
luton which cost Louis XVI his royal
head.
Moreover, the founding fathers, being
men of honor, held coerced evidence in
contempt. The American concept of
Justice, as they saw it, could not COM
promise with injustice and still maintain
its character of freedom and integrity.
