the treasury, Tor instance, may be properly
regarded as the chief accountant of that

The Proposed Garbage &ema,orx

government for the residence of the chief
executive of the nation
While the Commissioners NAV not further

and who remain in their offices during a
small portion of the day, surely they viii, if
they have not already done so. give care
full consideration for the comfort health
and lives OF those who are obliged to live
in the White House night and day.
The President has probably not protes ted
against the location of the crematory on
the proposed site. but this should not be
taken as acQuescence on his part, since his
time and attention is SO fully employed on
matters concerning the public welfare that
he may not have taken notice of what is
projected to the possible detrment of The
health Of himself and family.

A reference TO the statement be-

sworn to is bona fde one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands, which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement Of circulation.
