THE HARDEsT.woRkED WOMAN
In the Land Is the Mistress of the
White House.

White House.
The author of series of letters, Civ
ing THE Inner Experiences of Cab
met Members Wife," in the Ladies'
Home Journal. gives some new and ex-
ceedingly frank glimpses of Washing
ton official life. The letters are un-
dated. therefore the administration
cannot be identified. She says of a
presidents wife, in letter to her sis
ter. to whom all the nissives are in
dited: THE worst of living in the
white house is the lack of privacy and
room. The first lady of the land
is about the hardest-worked woman in
America in many ways. The present
lovely incumbent has more leisure than
most of those who have occupied the
place. because she knows no more
about the domestic arrangements than
il she lived in hotel. Everything is
turned over to housekeeper. who
does not even report to Mrs. President.
The presidents wife has not the lux
uries nor convenience of ordinary
rich people living in large cities. Her
quarters are ;circumscribed. and she
is besieged by reporters. especially dur
ing, the first year. while the mere read
ing of her letters received every day is
heavy task. although she has secre-
tary to help her out. This Mrs. Pres
ident does not even receive the reports
of the head steward. the chief official
servant of the household. 1t is said
that he went to her not long ago 30 ask
her advice about getting rat poison to
kill the numerous rat and mice occu-
pants of the white house (be 1t said in
shame of the nation). and she told him
his province was to keep everything
hidden from her-from
rats to ghosts. That settled Mr.. Stew

the building has for some time been
in correspondence with the State Of
fcials and heads of departments and
all of them approve of the plan. 1t
would have been done years ago, but
it requires a reserve of at least 40
horse power to be used only for
short time once in two years and it
would not pay any company to put in
reserve steam power for that purpose.
Mr.. Phinney will soon advertise for
bids on wiring the building for from
$50 to 400 incandescent lamps which
will be required.
Fred Harvey, of Barre, a teamster
who was working for James Ahern,
was found lying dead under his wagon
May 4. He had apparently been
thrown from his wagon and falling
under it the horses backed and
brought a forward wheel directly
across his shoulders. He was thus
crowded face downward into the mud
and smothered to death as there were
no marks on the body to show that he
had been run over. Two years ago
the 10th day Of last month, a brother,
Robert Harvey, was struck by shift
ing engine in the yard of MARI & Cor
don and instantly killed. Fred mar
ried the widow about eight months
ago. A sad feature about the case is

Speaker Reed won signal victory

the opponents of his policy of MASTER

aye and nay vote, which resulted in
an Endorsement of that policy by a
majority of over two to one, the figur-
es being 1913 to So. He has thus dis
armed those critics who have been
declaring that Reed and not the house
stood in the way of general legislation
by congress. It was due entirely to
Speaker Reeds forcing the issue on
the question of the appointment of
the committees that the house re-
manned in session until $3.50. 1t met
prepared at once to adjourn until
Thursday. But Reed skilfully cajoled
a new and very inexperienced dem
ocratic member from the state of
Washington into offering a resolution
for the appointment of the commit
tees, and then allowed the debate to
proceed until his complete triumph
was insured

tion in hand was fully as important
as the preservation of 1.-The integrity
of the Ottoman Empire" The EN-
bryonic state of the term only was
first shadowed forth in the introduc-
ton to the Tariff of 1916, wherein it
was characterized as Incidental Pro
tection.n 1t seems to have got
through the hair of few Democratic
leaders that duty of whatever rate
imposed on a foreign made article
which competed with a similar Amer
lean one was to that extent a Protec-
ton. But according to the Southern
Democratic theory the primary and
legitimate object of a Tariff was to
obtain revenue without any refer
ence, strictly speaking, to the effect
produced upon our own mechanical
industries; they being absolutely of
secondary consideration-that effect
was merely incidental Protection
in the Tariff Of 1916, in due time,
resulted in crushing out our indus
tries that had revived or sprung up
into existence under the fostering
care of the short Tariffs of 1S42.
These leaders, however, wanted a
term more definite than incidental,
and their genius was divided to that
end. They first in one of their plat
forms proclaimed the theory of their
Tariff to be only for revenue;n that
was followed the next time by ''eXclu-
sively for public purposes. 4 TAen
came the phrase ''for revenue only"
as the latter is smoother in enuncia-
tion it seems to have been used uni
formly in recent platforms. FOrtu-
nately the question is forever settled,
as according to Senator Vest this
little word has become one of the
famous ''principles of the great Dem
ocratic party

From all sections of the country
come reports of increased activity in
all lines of business. Factories and
foundries that have lain idle for
many months will again be started
up and additional labor will be EN-
plOyed in those that have been run
ming on reduced time with smaller
force. The change has come almost
within a few weeks. Hope was re-
vived by the election of Major Mckin-
ley as President, but the well-known
difficulty of Fastening through Con
gress a tariff bill has delayed realiza-
ton. AS it becomes more plain that
home industries are really to be pro-
tected from the competition OF the
foreigner new life is being infused in
to American enterprises. Uncertain
ty chills trade. The conviction that
four years Of Protection are to be
ours has made business men once
more willing to enter into engage
ments for the future. The depression
following the recent Free-Trade ex-
pertinent has taught us costly lesson.
In the railway service alone over
quarter of million of men were
thrown out of employment because
the mills, factories and all industrial
enterprises no longer furnished ton
mage. If country is prosperous its
railroads prosper. They are the
great distributors. The money they
receive is, all but very small portion,
spent in the public service. Interest
on bonds, dividends on stocks are but
the commission charged by the dis
bursting agent. In most cases this
commission is far below the ruling
rate. Protection will put money in
circulation that is held now by cap
italists too prudent to undertake to
compete with the products of foreign
pauper labor. Men now idle will
once more find employment in the
shops and factories and on the rail
roads. The employment of these
men will bring business as well to
the storekeeper, and the farmer will
again find more profitable demand
for his products.

continued conscious effort, means a
material subtraction from the duties
of life. 1t contributes substantially
to the saving of time, while permit
ting that rare privilege-the enjoy
ment of our bodies at their best.
Equally neglected is the economy
of time springing from an estimation
of the relative value of things-a GER
tainty of feeling regarding the inter
ests of life, instead of that lack of dis
elimination, so characteristic of the
average person, as to what is actually
necessary and pleasurable to his life
and what can be sacrificed without
loss Of happiness. There is great
practical gain in studying ones tenn
perament and tastes;in knowing what
we want and taking it without vast
ing time in coquetting with amuse-
ments for which we have no predilec
tomas we are prone TO do.

of being able to exclude ones sur
roundings from eye and ear. The
nervous system of the modern tOiler
is mercilessly sensitive to the confu-
sion around him. What endless pain
occasioned by distracting conscious
ness of the existence of the outside
world. The unframed mind hangs
out its latch-string, 50 to speak, court
ing interruption. The training of
ones faculties to adhere closely to
that on which they are engaged, valu-
able as is such training in the struggle
for time and place, seldom enters into
our preparations for work. A system
matte schooling is concentration of
mind should be part of the curriculum
of every educational institute, It, as
well as the mastery of our nerves, can
be and should be learned by every
worker as one of the essential econO-
mics of modern life

THERE is no step backward in
business, although the season of mid
summer quiet is near. improvement
continues, gradual and prudently
cautious as before, although in many
branches evident where no signs of it
appeared a few weeks ago. Business
men of the highest standing in all
parts of the country have gradually
perceived that the tide has begun to
rise and are regulating in their con
tracts and investments and plans for
the future with a confidence quiet
unknown to them a short time ago.
Great changes before the adjourn
ment of Congress are hardly to be ex-
pected, but removal of uncertainty
is with reason expected to bring into
