The Presidents Office BUILDING

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
observe that the term Temporary
White House" Is being applied to the new
office built for the use of the President. I
see 1t stated that the architects are yery
DESTROYS that this term shall be used. no
doubt with the hope that 1t will aid In in
ducing Congress to provide for a perma-
nent office building 1t will have no more
influence on Congress than whistling at
Congress would-not bit.
When Congress will not provide a suitable
building for the Supreme Court or for the
overcrowded departments, which for years
past, and now more than ever, are COM
PEELED to rent private buildings by the score
for their use, 1t Is nonsensical to suppose
1t can be induced to erect another and per
manent office building for the Executive.
What the members care about Is to secure
an appropriation for a court house. a post
office building or a slice in the river and
harbor bill in their own districts. because
upon that depends their denomination and
election. 1 predict there will be no new
Office building for the President for the
next quarter of a century. Besides the
term temporary White House. Is a mis-
homer and Is misleading, and therefore
should not be used. 1t Is not the White
House and should not be so called The
executive Office or the Presidents office
would be far more correct ana appropriate
Every one would understand that, and per-
sons away from here would not be led to
mistake 1t for the presidential residence or
White House proper. OBSERVER.

The Shepherd Memorial.
|tor Of The Evening Star;

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Until sufficient sum of money is raised
to build suitable memorial to Governor
Shepherd 1t would seem to be premature to
enter upon a discussion as to a suita BILE site
for it. But since 1.-THE subject has been
preached in Mr.: Huycks suggestion in
Tuesdays Star, Il venture to say a few
words in regard to it now.
1t will be conceded, l suppose, that in
erecting statue or memorial of any kind
the main purpose is to impress the mind OF
the public by teaching a lesson that ought
to be learned or 7commemorating event
of some Importance, through the medium of
portrait statue or an ideal group, or some
thing of that character. To accomplish this
end the object itself should be not only
thoroughly artistic in construction and exc
cution but it should be so placed that in
the ordinary course Of things the greatest
number of people can easily see it; and the
same observation will hold good, though
probably with less force, in regard to any
other form the memorial might take. To
my mind the best location for the Shepherd
memorial is therefore in the reservation on
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue and
the east side of 1th street, at the crossing
Of these two great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS or
near where the so-called fountain now
stands. Here the greatest tides of travel
in the city moving north or south, east or
west, meet and pass, and here the true pur-
pose of locating it can be easily accomplish
ed, because it would be properly pla ced and
could be seen to the best advantage, what
ever form the design may take. 1t is pos
sible that better location, all things con-
sidered, may be suggested. If so everybody
will be glad to see 1t adopted. And let me
add that am not specially welded to this
particular location. 1t Is possible that a
better site, on all accounts, may be suggest
ed. If so / shall be glad to see it adopted.
But implore the authorities not to repeat
the inexcusable blunder committed in
choosing the site for the Sherman eques-
trian statute, which, it will be found when
set up, cannot be viewed to advantage
