0! THE POOR INVESTOR
Congressman Window of Massa
husetts, whp is a member of the
louse District Committee, and an
incompromisinp: opponent of munici-
tal ownership of public utilities, pre
ented some unique ideas on that
luestion during yesterday's hearing
n the Crosser measure. This is
he bill which is intended to provide
or the District taking over, as pub
ic properties, the street railways of
his city.
Mr. Winslow was fearful that if
he public should take over the rail-
oads, and if other communities
hould therefrom get the municipal
wnership idea, and if at last all the
owns should buy up their public
tilitics, why, then there wouldn't
e any public utility bonds for in
estors to buy! And with a good deal
f severity he demanded to know of
"ommissioner Siddons in what the
ovestor would invest, if the public
tilities -were all taken over by the
overnments!
To make his point good, Mr. Wins
:v pointed out that people with de
jre'to save something for -a rainy
ay put their money in savings
auks, and then the banks invested
n these securities. If the citie3
hould take over the properties, in
.hat would the banks invest? And
f the banks could find nothing in
.Inch to invest, how could they re
i:vc the deposits of the thrifty citi-
c? In short, how was a man to
o on saving if there was nothing to
o with the savings?
Ve trust that no more serious ob
ection will be raised against public
wnership than this one. Of course,
he public utilities are going to con-
mue to be property, even when
wned by the cities. There will be a
acre substitution of the city's obli
gations for those of the private cor
oration. If the street railways in Washing
on shall be found worth ?20,000,000
.hen the valuation of them is com
leted, that $20,000,000 will be rep
csented by bonds and stocks in the
ends of investors. The city will not
onjure up S20,000,000 out of the air
ith which to pay for them. It will
sbue its own securities, and cx
hange them for the stocks and
onds of thf private company. The
eople who now have stocks and
onds of a long list of little railroad
nmpanies, would get the bonds oJ
he District of Columbia
These bonds of the District of Co
umbia would be subject to invest
nent. The savings banks in New
England could buy them. Wc ven
ule even to opine that these New
England savings banks would be
cry well pleased, right now, if
.hen they bought securities of the
vow Haven railroad, they had got
omething with the credit of a great
nd rich community behind it, in
tead of something that looked good
rhen they bought it and that after
rard proved to be the promise-to-ay
of a railroad in process of be
og looted by its management.
Surely Mr. Winslow could not have
sked his question seriously. Pcr
aps he didn't, but merely wanted to
certain whether Commissioner Sid
ons could answer such a simple one.
le found out.
One'of the fundamental reasons in
avor of public ownership of publia
tilities is that the credit of the
ommunity as a whole is better than
hat of any section of the commun
ty. The most valuable bonds issued
ii this country are the bonds of xhc
ountry. They have sold as low as
per cent, and if no currency privi
cge attached to them would easily
sell under 3 per cent. No State can
borrow money quite so cheaply as
the United States can. No private
corporation can do it. Likewise, no
public service corporation operating
a railroad jn Washington, under a
grant of power from the city, could
borrow money so cheaply as could
the city, for the purposes of operat
ing public utilities.
Mr. Winslow, being assured that
there would be a new crop of bonds
to invest in, and that these would be
the excellent and highly respected
bonds of the municipality, then took
another tack. The pubHc, owning the
railroads and having is.sued its bonds
to pay for them, would be expected
to create sinking funds with which
ultimately to pay off theso bonds.
Supposing, once more, that the thing
got infectious; that all the cities took
over their utilities .and issued their
bonds, and established sinking funds,
and in time say in a generation
actually discharged and canceled the
bonds and gave to the investors the
cash for them:
Then this is the final and conclu
sive poser of Mr. Winslow what
would the investor of the next gener
ation invest that money in?
There would be no more public
utility bonds; thero would1 be no
more municipal bonds representing
the purchase of public utilities. The
cities would owe no more debts on
account of these transactions, be
cause the debts would have been paid
off, thanks to the persistent work
ings jf the wicked sinking funds.
What then would the poor investor
do?
Mr. Winslow has us. We just
naturally don't know. Ho has out
lined a financial catastrophe of the
not too distant we hope future,
that ought to bo investigated at
once. If everybody pays off his debts,
there will be no bonds, mortgages,
promissory notes or anything else
lor the investor to buy.
This is a serious affair.
It had-i
never before occurred to us that
the business of paying off debts is
so menacing. Mr. Winslow should
forthwith not only oppose the full
power of his gigantic intellect to
public ownership, but he should take
steps to put an end to paying debts
in general. There are about six bil-
lions of dollarg of farm mortiraire
s
m this country, and some millions of
farmers raking and scraping to get
money to pay them off. Until Mr.
Winslow made the point so clear, it
had not been realized that these
farmers were insidiously attacking
our institutions, inose bonds are
largely held by savings banks and
other institutions. If the fanners
follow the lead of the municipal
ownership cranks, and pay off their
mortgages, there will be an investing
vacuum in the place where those six
billions of farm mortgages formerly
"were, and the banks will be in an
even worse scrape than Mr. Winslow
suggested.
Until this-sapicni presentation, the
grave danger of impoverishing the
country by paying its debts had not
attracted the attention it deserved.
But now it is clear that a tremendous
crisis is. ahead. Worked out along
the lines of the excellent Mr. Wins-
low's logic, here is the horrible con
spiracy that has been framed for the
undoing of the whole country:
First, the District of Columbia will
take over its street cars, make them
public properties, and start a cunningly-devised
scheme of paying off
their debts.
Second, other cities will be so
wicked and reckless of the public in
terest as to adopt the same project,
and will buy their utilities and set
about paying for them.
Third, the Government might con
ceivably be fascinated by the villain
ously insinuating scheme, and buy
the railroads and maybe the mines
and such like, and, in turn, go to
paying off their debts.
Fourth, the farmers might all in
sist on rushing up to the box offico
and paying their mortgages. Farm
ers have at times been known to do
it.
Fifth, the other folks owing money
might get pigheaded and insist on
paying.
Now observe what would have
happened: everybody would have
paid off his debts, and would have his
property clear of debt. But there
would be no debts in which anybody
might invest his money, and so the
social structure would crumble!
To think of it even casually and in
general terms is to tremble. The
country has been going along, work
ing and saving in the effort to pay
its debts, all unconscious of the fact
that if it ever succeeded it would be
ruined. There would be nothing for
the investors to buy!
Instant steps should be taken to
shunt off the calamity. A measure
to impose severe penalties on persons
talking about public ownership would
be about proper to start the chain of
legislation. Then it would be well
positively to prohibit sinking funds
and sinking. So Ion;.' as the utilities
are under private rontiol, of cour&e,
the sinking fund will do little harm;
for whoever heard of a public utility
in this country that actually sunk a
debt? Or that disposed of it in any
other manner than such as would in
crease its volume?
There should be a general statute
to prohibit farmers paying off their
mortgages; and town and city prop
erty owners should lie immediately
enjoined from efforts in the same di
rection. Then there is the matter of store
bills, board bills, booze bills, doctor
bills", and all the rest of them. It is
maddening to think of the folly
which people have displayed, in try
ing to pay these things off, when,
as we now realize, thanks to the de
velopment of the new Winslow eco
nomics, to pay them is to deprive in
vestors of something in which to invest!
It is an unthinkable situation. Let
Crosser be impeached forthwith, and
have the District Commissioners re
moved from office instantly. Jail
everybody who attempts to pay off a
mortgage, lock urthe first offender
who undertakes the liquidation of a
tailor's account, and set about print
ing a few trainloads of bonds with
out delay, in order that the inves
tors may have something to buy! No
matter whose bonds or what they are
secured upon; by all means let us
have plenty of bonds; and Jet them
run in perpetuity, so that they can't
possiblyie paid off, and the investor
may be secured, once for all, against
a possiblo revival of this hateful
proposal that folks shall be allowed
to wreck the social structure by pay
ing their debts.
LAWYERS AND PRESS.
The Illinois Bar Association has
adopted resolutions condemning law
yers who "try their cases in the
newspapers." It is even suggested
that it may be found desirable to dis
bar lawyers who keep on doing it.
The lawyers mostly are not to
blame. The newspapers get the news,
and the lawyers blame them for it,
and blame each other for giving it to
them. But who's to be blamed at
last? The public wants the news,
and is on the whole entitled to it. It
expects the newspapers to get it, and
it supports those that do the best at
getting it.
Old-fashioned "ethics" about these
matters aro a good deal played out.
Of course, a lawyer has no business
trying to build up a power of public
opinion to help him win his case.
But on the other hand, how could
the lawyers involved in the Rosen
thal case in New York have possibly
prevented publicity? How could they
have refused a certain amount of co
operation with the press? They
could not. It has been charged by
the Illinois Bar Association that pub
licity too often defeats the ends of
justice. Perhaps so; but suppression
of publicity is one thing that would
vastly more frequently defeat those
same ends.
THE TIMELY RAINS.
The region immediately about
Washington has been less benefited
by the showersof.the last few days
than most sections of the East, be
cause this territory has not received
so much precipitation as has gener
ally been noted. But even in this
neighborhood the fall has been suffi
cient to put an end to the moment's
misgivings of crop disaster. The
wheat crop promises in this section
to be the biggest in many years, and
corn is now making an appearance
that reasonably guarantees a fair
crop. It was put in the ground late,
and will need fast-growing weather
to insure against a good deal being
harvested before it is thoroughly
cured.
The West has generally had sub
stantial rains, and with the East
now generally rescued from immi
nent danger of ruinous drought, it is
again safe to indulge the prophecy
that the country will turn out in this
year 1014 the biggest total of agri
cultural values that was ever known.
Moreover, the price of wheat has
been strengthening of late, and indi
cations are favorable for some stif
fening all along the line, at least
until it is certain that bumper crops
aie to be the rule. If nature's invi
tation to prosperity can be refused
while conditions are thus favorable,
it will be proof positive that some
thing is very much wrong.
FIRE RISKS.
Reports read at the annual meet
ing of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters last week indicate "that
fire periis are declining. Credit for
this is given to revised building
laws, laboratories for the testing of
fire appliances, the reward system in
detecting arson, and fire surveys of
cities.
With smaller risks, business men
may expect lower rates. Yet all the
reform in fire prevention seems to be
directed toward the benefit of busi
ness places. Where does the ordi
nary householder come in? So far
as he is concerned the methods of fire
insurance writing are the same as
they were half a century ago. He
takes his own precautions against
fire risk, if he is a good citizen, but
no matter how good they arc he pays
the same rate as the other fellow, the
careless man. Houses and their con
tents are insured blindly, without
even the form of an inspection.
To put it flatly, the insurance o
business places is becoming a sci
ence, but tho insurance of dwelling
houses remains a gambling proposition.

By MARY EDNA NOYES.
There may be women In Washington
society who are well Informed on the
subject of gardening and who may love
to make gardens, but I doubt It there
Is any one who knows more about this
subject than Mrs. Henry T. Rainey,
wife of Congressman Rainey of Illinois.
The making of the Rainey garden has
not been a pastime, a fad, or a funcy,
with either Mrs. Rainey or Mr. Ralni-'y,
it has been a life work. That is the
real rsason for Its success. They
planned their garden with the same care
they would have given a home, for the
garden is their home. During th3 last
eleven years that Mr. Rainey haa been
In Congress, they have spent at least
six months of the year in Washington,
and the remainder of the time at Car
rollton, and during the season when
their garden ,1s the spot that claims
them during the greater part of their
waking hours. Congressman and Mrs.
Kalney arc both accomplished artists
with the brush, as well as being ma-
ters of landscape gardening, and their I
garden Is th'elr masterpiece. !

thought and real love of tho work,
rather than a bought and paid product.
Colonial Air Preserved.
When one enters Walnut Hall, the
home of the Ralneys, he la still in stent
of the town of Carrollton. The entrance
to the old Colonial place is particularly
attractive, and In keeping with every
detail of the place. Two massive square
stone posts, from which swing heavy
Iron gates, form the portals through
which you pass up a long. well-kept
driveway to the front of the house. The
house is one of tho tivo-story una a
half rambling type, built ,of ycl'uw
brick many years ago b7 Mr. Raines's
grandfather. A wido porch cxUnds
across the entire front of the house, and
during Iho spring and summer rambler
roses and blossoming vines form a riot
ous mass of color on the tides and
posts. In the wide center hall Into
which open the various rooms of the
house Is found the same type of furni
ture which was in vogue at the time
the place was built, Mrs. Rainey hav
ing made a point of retaining the old
Colonial style In every detail of her
home. In addition to the original fur
nishings of the home, she has added
many Interesting things which she
gathers from time to time. A collection
of china and another of bedspreads arc
among her most valued as well as Inter
esting Deiongings.
A wide lawn, perfectly kept, extends
for several acres across the front of the
place. Directly In front of the house
Is a huge flagpole, from which Old Glory
waves In grand estate every day of the
year. HugeTrees, from which the pltce
took Its name, guard the house on either
side and form a veritable wall about the
estate, which comprises nearly 300 acres.
Grass Like Velvet
The garden proper Is to the right of
the house. The entrance from the
house la a velvet-like grass walk under
a vine covered pergola strung with elec
tric lights. This walk leads directly to
the large fountain, in which llvo count
less gold fish which dart In and out
among the lilies. The fountain Is elec
trically lighted and at night 1 partic
ularly beautiful. Little wonder toat an
Invitation to a dinner party at the home
of Congressman and Mrs. Rainey is
pleasurbably anticipated.
Another feature of the garden Is the
gazing globe, which has been recently
added. When the globe was placed in
the garden, the stone pillar or rest for
It was set In place and as the sun
went down the globe could be arranged.
It was left In the grass until the next
day. Getting up very early, a3 all
gardeners do, Mrs. Rainey discovered
to her amusement that the larks and
squirrels were having a parade around
and around the globe, apparently admir
ing themselves with much stisfactloa
and thereby showing their approval of
the newest arrival In their haven. The
garden Is a real sanctuary for the birds,
which find houses and fpod placed In
the trees about Walnut Hall all during
the year. They seem to know that no
game ,law la needed there and theyi

held by the congregation of tho Rev.
Leopold Glushak in the Fifth Street
Synagogue, but none were confirmed.
The elaborate program at the Eighth
Street Temple was In charge of the
Rev. Abram Simon and his assistant,
the Rev. Louis Stern. Beginning with a
procession of the children about tho
church, the solemn ceremonies were
ds-lded into the servico of the scrolls,
the servico of flowers, the service of
duties, and the service of consecration.
Participating In the program were the
two rabbis. Prof. E. Lent. Mrs. Irma
