not follow from these examples that II A
President wishes to put a little distance
between dwelling and his official work.
shop he should be obliged to take a Sol
dlers' Home cottage or buy or rent a
country seat at his private expense but
from the fact that former Presidents have
found simple means Of satisfying their
domestic needs, IL is plain that there Is no
call for such haste Ia providing for Pres
ident Mckinley and his successors as to
make plumbers whose effects are bound 70
be so permanent.
The choice of an architect for example.
by the self-constltuted senatorial commits
sion suggests the probability that the
same gentlemen have also picked out a
building lot. This is the point at which
every previous movement has stuck fast
owing to the suspicion OF jobbery attach
Ing so commonly to real estate operations
in which the government Is a party in in
terest If the stories in circulation in
Washington are true, the question will at
once arise who has "cornered" the sena-
tors for the purpose Of selling his choicest
building lot, and how many spectators
have been buying in the surrounding prop
erty?
Again, with regard to the architect. il
would be a painful shock to we'll wishers
of the government and this beautiful city
to learn that the man had been arbitrarily
chosen by the senatorial group and set to
Wpih even inlOIuuuy at making SKETCH
plans. If the money TO be spent on the new
home of the Presidents Is to be public and
not private money, the selection of the
architect should be a public undertaking,
deliberately considered and carefully con-
Quoted, and not what the politicians call
a private snap"
The building will be a monument TO the
fame of the man who designs IT, and the
work ought to command the services Of
the most eminent architects in the coun-
try. If IL Is necessary at all to have a
separate home for the President, there
should be a competition in designs. with
a jury Of award who would enjoy the re-
spect OF every one; or else, II II be decided
that a competition Is unnecessary. the
task should be committed TO one of the
half-dozen famous architects who stand
at the very head Of their profession. But
IL may well be questioned whether a sepa-
rate Presidents house Is necessary, IL the
desire Is really to relieve the President
and not merely to create a real estate
boom, congress will be likely TO 20 very
slow in this matter.
