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 1, re-
naming here until the Chicago conven-
ton shall have done its work. Then he
will go to Oyster lay for a month or
so; return to Washington about Au-
gust /, 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 a 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
~ will call for all the executive capaci-
ty which Secretaries Loeb and Barnes
possess. ... ...-

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
a law under himself.
Smith is a 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 fence.
Years ago high iron fences surround
ed every park and public place in the
national capitol, but by order of con-
SIcSS lucy were Idheu uOWu OL0 NY
one. Congress Gnally landed on the
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 bacl, they received the
old mans ultimatum with amused toll
erance and he received assurances that
he would never be annoyed again.
But few years later somebody else
absent-mindedly inserted a second 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 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 magnifl-
cent water beech was planted IS 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 d.
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 flattered
by him with an invitation to plant
tree.
self, as may be. imagined, is the OLD
Scotchman who is its presiding genius
Not only is he 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-
den 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-
denis 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 the
library committee in the senate lust
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 5000 at
once. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE.

tary Loeb thus far has displayed equal
talent But all the same he does not
relish two fittings within short time.
The president does not expect great
many people at Osyter bay. The facil-
tiles there for entertaining strangers
are very meager and it is both the re-
gard for his own comfort and for that
of the people who wish to see him that
he has decided to make his headquar-
ters during a good part of the cam
paign right here in Washington.

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
known on account of its school of law
than for any other reason, but some
other of it's departments have been do
ing memorable things in various lines
of scientific research. The members of
ton and they have added the luster of
distinguished names to the record Of
the university. 1t is now proposed that
the undergraduate department of the
university shall become more conspic-
Uous and that the institution shall take
rank among the great institutions Of
learning which hitherto have been
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
dtions 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
ington himself selected over 100 years
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.
"It is my ardent WISH" he wrote, ito
see a plan devised on liberal scale
which would have a tendency to spread
systematic ideas through all parts of
this rising empire, thereby to do away

THE ADAMS FAMILY POLITICAL
TRUST.

To much greater extent than ever
before the people of this state, if they
should elect Alva Adams as governor,
would find that they had elected not
only him, but the entire Adams Politi-
cal Trust.
The Adams Trust consists of three
brothers-Alva, Billy and Frank. There
is another brother-Jim-but he
doesn't count.
Alva makes the speeches at women's
clubs on Purity in Politics." and the
addresses of welcome at religious
gatherings; Billy lays the schemes and
sees that a Republican majority of two
thousand in his district is turned into
a Democratic majority of the same
amount whenever any of the family
needs it, Frank sees that the Denver
police round up all the protected Grim
inals of the slums at the primaries and
protect Billy Green and his kind when
they want to stuff ballot boxes.
Brother Billy has been at his Pc
culiar work for the family for a num-
Der of years. His district is run by
coterie of politicians, some of whom
are Republicans. and there are always
s2me Republicans and some Democrats
