Immediately upon the grant OF the appro-
priation for the Office building the dictum
was heard from authorities of the House
that nothing more would be done in this di-
rection.
Now that the 'temporary-permanent Of
fee building is finished and in use 1t strikes
the general public as decidedly unfit for its
purposes. 1t Is small, huddled In design,
undignified and unwisely exposed 20 the
thoroughfares. 1t lacks the seclu sion which
it might easily have without rendering it
inaccessible. Squatting low beneath the
towering walls of the Navy Department

before making deposits and thus relieving
themselves Of the responsibility for the

worthy the consideration Of the banks. It
would not be necessary to keep open more

The Permanent Advertiser.
From the Portland Oregonian.

Advertising Is an art; that everybody
knows; and never was SO much an art as
in these days. when as much careful work
Is done in writing advertisements as in
writing editorials. A high authority says:
advertising should be planned on the pre-
sumption that it Is going to be permanent. !"
It means that advertising should be sys-
tematic, not sporadic; that it is a distinct
feature and department and should be so
administered. Announcements now and
then do not bring a train of steady benefits.
They may be for squirt sales. but when the
sales have run their course they are for

Mrs. Roosevelt's Handkerchief.

The ill-bred expression ofreSentmenta against
Mrs Roosevelt on the part of the women of
Dallas, Tex, is most reprehensible from
every possible point of view. Doubtless
even from that of the women themselves in
their moments of calm retrospection, for
they must by now realize that they have
been guilty of a discourtesy Of the most
fragrant character. Regardless of Mrs

ident of the United States, ordinary eti-
Quette would demand that gift sent in re-
Spouse to direct solicitation. whatever its

q spirit Of gratitude. The man who
looks the gift horse in the mouth is held
as type of meanness to be everlastingly
despised. North and south alike. the foolish

chief to their bazaar, whether 1t compared
we'll or Ill with other donations made by
persons less exposed to such acquisitions.
1t must always be remembered that the
wife Of the President is constantly besieged
with begging letters in the name of this
that and the other charity. Even a mod
crate response to all of these would cause a
serious drain upon the resources of the fam
lily of the executive 1t has come to be ac-
cepted that if the lady of the White House
does respond her gift shall be regarded
solely for the sentiment it conveys and not
for its intrinsic worth. A proper spirit of
appreciation would endow such a gift with
qualities above the mere money worth of
the goods.
The plague of begging affects a far wider
circle in Washington than the White House
family. Every person of note is continually
besought for favors and gifts. One form of
enterprise has come to especially objection
able proportions in the capital, the practice
of sending tickets to concerts, lectures and
entertainments of all kinds to everybody of
official, social or business status and ex-
pecting their purchase. 1t Is not eXag-
geratOn TO assert that some of the resi-
dents of this city receive each in the course
Of single week in the season, tickets to the
face value of hundreds of dollars, all of
which must be returned carefully to avoid
misunderstanding: yet their courteous re-
turn is regarded as an affront by some of
the promoters, and sighting references are
whispered about, to the unjust annoyance
OF the victims.
Charity which is sincere in it's conception
and execution is never suspicious of mo-
tiyes. 1t is grateful for that which comes
in response to its requests. and thankful at
least for a respectful consideration Of petit
lions. When the charitable enterprise be-
comes a buster, and churlishly scrutinizes
the fiber of the gift. il is time to call a halt

The Man for the Place.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New 1ork Ifibune
It is commonly understood, though not
yet officially announced, that the President
has decided to appoint Mr.. Cortelyou to the
new cabinet Office. Though he must natu-
rally shrink from severing his present re-
lations with a man whom 1t would be ex-
tremely difficult to replace, he would find
disinterested satisfaction in making such a
promotion. AS secretary to the President,
first under Mr.. Mckinley and since under
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Cortelyou has dis
charged his delicate, onerous and multi
farious duties with absolute fidelity and
with extraordinary discretion. No fault of
tact or temper or judgment has ever been
ascribed to him. His services have been as
skilfully as they have been indefatigably
rendered Such record shows that he is
possessed Of rare qualities-of qualities,
moreover which are indispensable in an ad-
ministratiye Office and which may be re-
garded as fitting him in a special degree for
the post just established.

1912, when the second American British
war broke out. At that time Buffalo was
village of 500 people, and the border
was without defenses. In that year, at
the spot indicated, Maj. Adams cut down
the trees that nature had planted on that
elevated ground, and, throwing up earth
works, stationed within Capt. Swift's bat
terry of seven guns of about as many cal
ibers. The site was designed for the con-
struction of a fort, which the people CALI
ed after Maj. Adams, but which he
named Fort Tompkins, in honor of the
Governor of the State. 1t became an i'm

fought the first engagement in that war
on the American side of the river. The
enemy captured the fort, but were subse-

eight wounded, out of the $50 men they
had engaged. That was in July, 1913,
and it was the first American victory on
that border in that war.
