Pictures Of George Washington and

When President Roosevelt had

a while, there was a kitchen cabinet

to reOrganize the White House. 1t
was too old fashioned and did not
have the facilities for entertaining
that modern progress and a strenuous
president required. It was agreed
that the people who visit Washing

should, when they came to the White

main entrance, but only through the
basement. AS one of the kitchen
cabinet said, the basement was good

welt to personally expend the money,
and the work began and was rushed
to completion. All the grand old
rooms we're Quilted, the historical
pictures of the early presidents were
too old fashioned and were relegated
to the basement and portraits of the
Roosevelt family were installed in
their places. Washington, the father
of his country, was turned to the wall
for time, and Adams, Jefferson, Mon.
roc and Jackson did not any more
look down from their historic places.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution protested at this desecra.
ton and public opinion, urged on by
their patriotic ardor, forced President
Roosevelt to order some of the por.
traits replaced in the state rooms, but
to this day most of them remain in the
basement.
So much was said about the matter
that many speeches were made in con-
gress, about the extraordinary waste
OF the public money and the lack Of
regard by the president for the por-
traits Of the revolutionary fathers.
The dislike Of President Roosevelt for
tho early presidents was shown up
by Hon. Malcomb Patterson in
speech delivered at the last session
OF congress in which he quotes from
the life Of Thomas H. Benton and
other works Of President Roosevelt.
Probably the opinion there expressed
by the president led him to order
those portraits banished to the lower
regions Of the White House.
