SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1901.

The new first lady of the land and her interesting family. arrived at the executive mansion this week and brought sunshine to the atmosphere of gloom that has pervaded its precincts during the past ten days. Children's voices and the batter of their feet will be a refreshing novelty in the home of the presidents. Every well-balanced individual loves the little ones, and the White house delegation of juveniles promises to furnish an interesting phase of the child-life of the capital

FUTURE OF THE WHITEsHOUSE
 1.-The executive nAnsion ih Washing ton for years overcrowded by its mis- cellaneoils uses, is more than ever in adequate to house the largest presi- dential family ever taken to the capi- tai. Though a splendid and stately mansion, it's rooms are spacious rather than numerous, and so much of it is used by clerks, copyists, messengers and other minor officials that unless some remedy can be devised the home life of the RooSeyeltS must be interrupt ed, the family broken up and part of it's members lodge elsewhere. To meet these conditions. thes following meas ures aresproposed:g
 l. A new White house.
 ?. An additiQn@te the present man. sion. 5E A
 3. The restoration. of the mansion to its intended 3use, as ans official resi- dence and the erection i'll the grounds near by of affaunQbtrusive office build- ing for the clerks.
 4. The use of the White house as tue. presidents office merely, housing his family elsewliere
 The first alternative is impossible, the fourth scarcely better. The White house is interwoven with the history of the country, with the life of the republic Every president except Washington has lived in it; marriage and birth and death. war yigils and peaceful feasts have filled every nook and corner with memories great and touching, pitiful or proud. It must be retained, and retained as a residence. If congress decides upon its enlarge ment. careful plan has been prepared which preserves it's beauty and re spects it's history, while adding har- moniously to it's space. Conservative action to leave the White house un- touched and provide business offices near by might for sentimental reasons be decided upon.-New York World.

The primaries have been fought and won and now the vieters land van quished can take much-needed rest before the real fight begins one week from next Monday. The result of the primaries is no doubt great surprise to some people, particularly to those candidates who were promised so much from alleged friends. only to have them turn their backs when the crucial moment arrived. An unpre- judiced observer would say after q glance over the field the past week that the Kilduff-Ryan forces would win easily. The mayor4and his able Heutenants did not settle down to real work until the past week, and the re suit shows that it was guided by q master hand. Mayor Kilduff has been so long in politics that he knows it from a to z. His right hand man, City Clerk NJ. J. Ryan, although young i'll politics as well as in years, is no novice in the art of politics, as was shown when he defeated R. F. Grady in the primaries two years ago. It has been a good-natured fight from the start. and there is no hard feeling left after the battle. The men who are nominated next week will be support ed by united democracy. and if they are Greater Waterbury will have a democratic administration for the next two years. = = = - = = =. =.
