President Mckinley has been compelled

President Mckinley has been compelled
to ask the visiting public to be a little
more considerate In their calls upon him.
He has been unable TO leave his desk I'M
til nightfall for two weeks on account Of
the demands made upon him. This re-
wives the necessity for providing the pres
ident with an official residence apart from
his business Office. He says it would be a
relief to have 10 walk to the White House
morning and evening. and that Is = very
modest way Of dealing with the subject.
The White House has entirely outgrown
the conditions that existed when that
building was devoted to Its present pur-
pose. 1t should be remodeled and made
suitable only for the transaction Of ofhcial
business and for state ceremonials.

w. J. Bryan has been visiting Mexico:
that IL. he went there In q palace car and
was received by the dignitar;es and had a
delightful time dining with the president
and being handsomely entertained by off,
Gals. He did not 20 into the interior or
go among the poorer working classes In
the rural districts to inquire into the In
dustrial conditions. except as he could
learn Of them from the great employers.
Now he proposes to publish his views on
the country. just as English globe-trotters
write a book on the United States after
q three weeks visit. He will have a book
to SELL however. so that his visit will not
be altogether Improbable to himself.

a treacherous foe on the Indian frontier,

Edward HatciifYe. the IDOL of the New

Edward Hatciiffe. the IDOL Of the New
York matinee girl, has been sentenced to
the penitentiary for six months for bru-
tally beating his wife, wealthy girl, who
had been fascinated by his appearance on
the stage ana the romantic manner In
which he made stage love. Many actors
are good husbands. but they usually play
the heavy villain on the stage and do not
have their heads turned by the aduiation
OF silly girls. 1t Is an old story. that Of
the fascination actors Of the romantic
school possess for thoughtiess and mex
perienced girls. but Notwithstanding the
frequent exposure Of the misery following
such matches young women who should,
IT they do not. know better, continue to
add to the roll Of marital unhappiness.

tension of foreign markets for the same.
and the increase Of trade and trade ia
cilitses with foreign countries. To this
general administrative duty 10 to be
added the control Of the following sub
departments or bureaus. namely, the
Efe-saving service. the lighthouse board.
the marine hospital service. the bureau
Of steamboat inspection. the bureau Of
navigation. the United States shipping
commissioners, the bureau OF fnmigra-
tIen, the United States coast and geo.
cetsc survey, and the bureau OF stats
tics, services that are now controlled by
the department OF the treasury. II Is
proposed also 10 transfer to the admin
istrStiye charge OF the secretary OF
commerce the department Of labor. and
to also transfer the bureau Of Stats
tics from the department of state.
Another suggested change Of consider
able Importance il the transfer from the
department OF state OF the consular
bureau and the several consular officers
81 the Federal government. including
consuls general. consuis. commercial
agents. their deputies and clerks. and
all other officers of the government re-
siding Ia foreign countries and charged
with the duties of facilitating and pro-
noting the commerce OF the United
States with the countries to which they
are accredited. There is in this last
transfer the qualification that, when
ever consular officers are required to
act in diplomatic capacity in matters
not directly connected with the COM
mercial interests Of the country, they
shall continue to report to the depart
ment of state and to act under the d.
rection of the secretary OF state.
An objection has been made to 1t on
the ground that no such office was con-
sidered necessary by the founders of
the government. Nor was the depart
ment of agriculture, which is branch
of our industries and commerce in a
sense, of far less magnitude and di-
versity than those which are to be
brought within the scope of the new de-
partment. The only consideration
which should be given to this objection
might be In arranging to make agricul-
ture a branch Of the new department.
Precedent is found for the creation of
a new department in several instances.
The navy was not separated from the
army until 1898. during the administra-
ton of President John Adams and it
was not until 1s4s that the office Of the
secretary OF the interior was created.
There was a postmaster general as ear
ly as any other office. but the incum-
bent was not considered a cabinet Of
flcer until 1929, and the office of secre-
tary OF agriculture 10 not ten years old
yet. The importance Of the last named
office has only just been realized since
John Wilson demonstrated his capacity.
A much more serious objection Is the
failure to bring the railroads under the
domination of the new department by
making the interstate commerce COM
mission a subordinate branch of it.
This omission will no doubt be recti-
fled before the bill becomes a law.
