Nw, after a little more than two cen turies of ' usefulness, Philadelphia Is . the second wealthiest city of the Uni ted States and ranks third In the value of its manufactured products, it nas more than 1500.000.000 Invested in man ufaeturlnar plants, and it tuma out, an nually, products to the value of 8600, 000.000. In the manufacture of leather and carpets Philadelphia heads the list or tne cities or tne woria. its iresn water navv Yard is the larcrest In the world, ita area being more than the ag-j gregate or ail tne varaa or Kngiana. , Made jrew Tor Get Busy. For many years Philadelphia was the commercial center or tne whole united States. New York saw Philadelphia's great growth and being ambitious to be at tne top, aug tne lurie canai ana brought through New York the great products of the west. That was before the days of rapid rail transportation and the canal made New York. As a matter of fact when the canal was dug It waa believed that Albany would be come the chief American city. But Manhattan received the benefit ana be come the metropolis of the western world,' Although hot the first. Phila delphia. Is a srreat seaport, A deep ship canal from Chesapeake bay to the Dela ware river would add to its advantages, and plans for it may some day be ac complished. William Penn troved his far-sightedness when he said that the alte was a "spot which seemed to have been appointed for a town," and that "of all places In the world I remember rot -one better seated." Philadelphia has outgrown ana multiplied tne ronaest dreams of Its Quaker founder, but his opinion still holds ' good. Chief of All Soma Town. Philadelphia haa about 350,000 build ings, and . of these there are 300,000 homes. More people live in their own homes In Philadelphia than In any other city on eartn. ita system or Duiiaing and loan associations, nnd a general program or encouragement to nome foullders has resulted In this admirable condition of affairs. Furthermore. Phil adelphia haa a larger percentage of bath tuba " per capita than any city Id tha worm. Philadelphia homas are fitted In every degree of comfort and luxury, of course, but even tha richest of them make no oalentatloua display of wealth. Tha Quaker Influence of colonial daya la clearly marked in tha architecture of the city's finest homea. Not only la Philadelphia a city of homes, but It la a city of home-lovers. There la no "great white way" and one iooks in vain ror aii-niant restaurants and lobster palacea. The people attend to their business in daytime and . go home to their wtvea and bablea at night. Which wholesome condition haa caused the unthinking to Bar that Philadelphia atmosphere makes a live American feel Ilka the "Seven Young Uen of Ephe- aua." Always Meant to Be a, city. Phvalcallr Philadelphia la one of the few large cltlea which waa Intended to be a city. Like Washington, it waa lata out on a aeneroua clan, and to per ent of Its area devoted to streets. Philadel phia's city hall and a true Phlladel phlan will not permit tha use of the Qualifying adjective "the" la connection therewith la one of the ahow placea of the city, its mgiv tower, aurmountea Dy a statue of William Penn, may be seen for miles and miles. City hU clock haa four farea, Ita minute band Is 11 feet long and weighs 125 pounds. City hall Is the largest and most expensive municipal building in the United States Talk About Tour Bin Blood, floclallr PhiladelDhla la tha most ex elusive of American cltlea. Its highest social circles are composed of families whose names are linked with the eany days of the colonies and tha republic, names which are distinctly American. The Philadelphia assemblies, great balls given twice, a year at tne Acaaemy ox mubio. axe 1 lie most exclusive social functions In tha Americas. The posses sion of millions Is not an "open sesame' to these nortala. Rlttenhouse sciuare. In the heart of Philadelphia's homea. Is the moat exclu sive residential section in any American city. Here the Biddies, the Cadwalla ders, the Drexels and tha rest of them have nl avert aa children, wooed and wed as youths, and from here they have been buried. Ana Tat Host, Democratic Notwithstanding these things, the spirit of Philadelphia Is democratic, as Is manifested bv its schools. Ita public school system is admirable, having been used as -the foundation Of the entire school system of the empire of Japan. Philadelphia -leads all American cltlea in the number and Importance of Its teohnlcal schools. A good example is everything In the useful arts, from the mastery of a machine to the making of bread. The venerable Franklin insti tute, mother of American invention, continues to foster inventive genius, aa did the statesman-philosopher genius whose name it bears. Then there U Oirard college, the foun dation of Stephen Oirard, which is one of the leading philanthropic' Institutions of the world. Many successful Amer icans owe their learning and their start in life to that school. Great In wealth of endowment, Mta physical property la in the very center of the city, and Is probably the most valuable real estate owned by an Institution of learning.

Wonderful for Its Antiquities. . No other American cltv is so rich in interesting antlaultles. The landmarks of the old Philadelphia In which was cradled the American republic have been carefully preserved and cared for. In dependence hall, the House of Betsy Ross, where Old Glory waa born, and others of their kind are reminders of the heroic ago or our history. No less interesting are the old Quaker meeting 1. ........ ... ), U ,L,I. about them, for they remind one of what is almost forgot in this advanced day that it has been but a little while since the United States rirst taught the world that liberty of conscience and freedom of religion made for peace and salvation, ana not ior war ana ae structlon. The Quaker Cltv It will remain to the ena or tne cnapter. irounaea Dy Quakers ana binit Dy them, it today nas a larger number of adherents to the faith of the Society of Friends than any other place in the world. Their influence has al ways been for peace and sobriety, and the city of their foundation has not de parted from the admonitions of its friends. - For that reason Philadelphia is proua or in peace ana contentment, in spite of the wonder of outsiders who flourish In the hot breath of battle. In the 227 years since William Penn made his peaceful treaty with the red men ana established rus city or Broth erly Love, tha course of hlstorv has marked many chanBes. Democracy has triumphed over autocracy in many lands, and is still fighting a winning battle. Science, useful science, has made 'won derful advances. Right is no longer al ways synonymous with might. And in this marvelous transition, Philadelphia has played a greater part than any other one city on the globe. RESOLUTIONS OF PLAGUE FIGHTERS t7nlted Ttem Leased Wire.) Waahlna-ton. .Oct. 3.
