Dares Defy Congress.

There is one reservation in Wash
ington which is to all intents and pur-
poses outside of the jurisdiction Of the
United States government. The Ma
tional botanic garden just at the foot
OF the capitol where Pennsylvania
avenue runs up against the capitol
grounds, is presided over by William
R. Smith, the superintendent, who is
law under himself.
Smith is Scotch gardener with a
pronounced burr, who got his early
training in the Kew gardens in London
and he has been in command in his lit
tie domain for so many years that
members of congress, who are nomi-
nally his superiors, would not think OF
interfering with the old mans wishes.
So it happens that with the exception
of the white house grounds the botanic
garden is the only public reservation
in Washington which is now enclosed
by a fence.
Years ago high iron fences surround
ed every park and public place in the
national capitol, but by order of con-
gross they were taken down one by
ouc. SOuSIeSS 1Hdlly lduueQ on tnG
botanic garden and somebody thought
lessly considered in an appropriation
bill provision for tearing down the
fence. Smith calmly ignored the law.
When the officials came to him to car
ry the law into execution he ordered
them off and informed them that so
long as he remained superintendent of
the botanic garden it was going to be
| inclosed by fence as it had been ever
since he was put into control When
congress came back they received the
old mans ultmatum with amused toll
erance and he received assurances that
he would never be annoyed again.
But a few years later somebody else
absent-mindedly inserted seconu pro-
vision for tearing down the fence and
again the canny Scotchman ignored
the law of congress. This time the
thing went so far that the members of
the appropriations committee who
were responsible for the slip came
down to the botanic garden and apollo
gized for their mistake.

The Presidents Plans.

President Roosevelt expects to spend
about two months at Oyster bay this
summer, and the force at the white
house are already planning for the fit
ting back and forth. The president will
leave Washington about July /, re-
naming here until the Chicago conven-
ton shall have done it's work Then he
will go to Oyster bay for month or
so; return to Washington about Au-
gust 1, which is the time usually set
for the beginning of the active work
Of the campaign and remain here long
enough to welcome visiting delegations
and confer with party leaders. After
that he will return to Oyster bay again
for a stay of another month and come
back to Washington as the weather
begins to grow cool. He will receive
the news of the election at the white
house.
All this is giving the workers in the
executive office good deal of worry
A great quantity of office stationery,
records and implements will have to be
carried back and forth every time the
president changes base and to effect
the transfer smoothly and expeditions
ly will call for all the executive capaci-
ty which Secretaries Loeb and Barnes
possess.

Mckinley and Roosevelt managed these

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
MEN AND HAPPENINGS AT TIE
NATIONAL CAPITOL.
PLANS OF THE PRESIDENT
How the Chief Executive Proposes to
Spend the Summer-A Scotch
Gardener Who Dares Defy
Congress.

Washington-The George Wash
ington University" is to be the some
what cumbersome title of the institu
ton now known as the Columbian uni
versity, which is preparing for an en-
larged sphere of educational usefulness
by the purchase of new site and the
erection of new buildings in Washing
ton.
For many years Columbian UNIVERSE
ty has been one of the institutions of
the national capital. 1t has been better
than for any other reason, but some
other of its departments have been do
ing memorable things in various lines
of scientific research. The members of
its faculty are men of national reputa-
ton and they have added the luster of
distinguished names to the record of
the university. 1t is now proposed that
university shall become more conspic-
uous and that the institution shall take
rank among the great institutions of
learning which hitherto have been
magnets for the ambitious youth of
the country.
In order that this mission may be
fulfilled the name of the university will
be changed, not because there is any
inherent objection to the present title,
but because of the confusion which
necessarily arises between the Wash
ington institution and the Columbia
university of New York with older ira
ditions and greater achievements.
The new site for the university is to
be on the banks of the Potomac not
far from the Washington monument
and very near the place which Wash
ago as the site for the national uni
versity which he believed should have
its home in the national capital. Wash
ington set forth his ambition in sew
eral letters as we'll as in his will. His
motive was one of patriotism rather
than personal sentiment or local pride

JUDGES as far as the nature of things

COMPLIMENTS FOR THE KING
With All It's Accompaniment
of Wit.

Again and for all time does the Irish
man show himself the finest artist in
witty compliments in the world. These
compliments to King Edward from
sons of the SISTER island" which are
going the rounds of the English press
are triumphs over political rancor.
Thus wit performs a service of utmost
importance.
Two London journalists, on their
way from Dublin to Cork. accosted a
shaggy native at Queens county sta
ton.
well, Pat, what do you think of
the king of England now?"
King of England, is It'll" replied the
Irishman, and there stole over his
face an expression of drollery as he
went on in stage whisper: Sure.
avic, yell want viceroy over there,
I'm thinkin'. Himself an herself are
not goin' back to yez at ALI"
Another quaint anecdote of the same
epoch-making trip comes from Galway.
An old dame in that CITY of the
Tribes" who had spoken with the king
and was questioned as to what she
thought of his majesty. She delivered
herself of long and enthusiastic eu-
logy to the effect that Edward the
First of Ireland" was "a grand man in
tirely," closing with the remark that
she had only wan thrilling fault to
find with him.
And what was this fault?
"Och, sure, they kept the poor man
so long in the Phaynix park beyant
that they have him tsliin' with -
sthrong Dublin accent"

The Botanic Garden.

There is no more interesting spot in
Washington than this same botanic
garden which Superintendent Smith
guards SO jealousy. There is flavor
of old time about it which makes it
different from any other spot and
which the fond superintendent protects
with all of his might.
Every tree in the place has history.
Most of them were set out by distin-
guished people to whom the old Scotch
man has taken a fancy One magnifi-
cent water beech was planted 35 years
ago by John A. Bingham of Ohio.
nearby it are two poplars, one of which
was set out by Edwin Forest, the ira
gedian, the other by his friend. John
w. Forney. The wife of Jefferson Da-
Wis dedicated one tree still standing
when Davis was secretary of war. In
short there are not many men who
have gained great distinction since
Smith has been superintendent of the
gardens who have not been fiattered
by him with an invitation to plant a
tree
OF equal interest with the garden it,
self. as may be imagined, is the old
Scotchman who is it's presiding genius.
Not only is he a horticulturist of rare
devotion, but he is religiously attached
to his national songster, Robert Burns.
and he possesses the finest collection
OF editions of Burns works which can
be found in the United States.
To the mind of Superintendent Smith
the greatest of all public men within
his memory was William Pitt Fessen-
cen of Maine. He ranks Fessenden ON
level with Lincoln as one of the two
men who saved the nation at the time
OF the civil war and he has a standing
grievance against every other native
OF Maine because none of them has yet
shown sufficient devotion to Fessen-
den's memory to write his life.
In Smiths mind the greatest
achievement of the Maine statesman
was in securing an appropriation for
erection of the Conservatives in the
garden, which are the apple of Smiths
eye. Fessenden was chairman of tho
library committee in the senate inst
at the close of the war When Smith
went before the committee timidly to
get small appropriation to begin the
work, the Maine senator bluntly asked
how much it would cost to complete
the job and then insisted on making
the entire appropriation of $35 900 al
once. LOUIS a. COOLIDGE.
