WHITE HOUSE HALLS DESERTED.

Comments on the Presidents New De-
parture, Wise and Otherwise.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The White House
is almost deserted daily now. The halls
no longer resound with the noise of the
off1ceseeker. The politicians and officeseek-
ers gather at the hotels and discuss the
presidents order with earnestness, and fire.
uuently in anything but good humor.
Many senators and representatives are in
clined to view the order favorabiy, but it is
not popular with the rank and file. The
directors say that the order is an arbitrary
and unprecedented exercise of power, and
makes senators and representatives, who
are not debarred by it, practically close
corporation, all others being unable to
reach the presidential ear. Most OF the
directors, however, would not permit them
selves to be publicly quoted.
EAThe friends of the order said that it had
become a necessity if the president was to
have any time to himself. The order did
not interfere with the filing of papers.
Senator Vance was one of the presidents
few callers. He said of the order: 'There
is no doubt that these interviews were of
little value We would go in, pass in line
before the president, say few words and
come out again. 1t amounted to nothing.
Now a congressman or senator can go and
SEQ the president and have quiet half
bours, talk with him and settle everything
in his district or state. The presidents Or
der will tighten Our work, too, somewhat
Although approaching the futility of the
visits we have been compelled to accompany
our constituents to the White House and
show them through. We shall now be re-
lieved of this necessity and at the same
time be able to do our constituents much
more good"
The office-seekers are now raldlng the
heads of departments and getting IN their
work there. Democratic senators and
representatives generally express approval
of the order Representative Williams, OF
Illinois, does not regard the order as ex-
Guiding all applicants by any means. IL Is
designed to prevent the same persons from

you are innocent, you must believe, be-

tanned and comforted by the ~all-power-

to me, transform dark prison walls into
