Marshall +. Wilder's most successful
joke of the season has a political tang
to it that is calculated to make even
Democrat with any sense of its eternal
aptness laugh. He tells of a teacher who
asks class OF boys whether they would
like to be President of the United
States. Observing that amid the gen.
eral enthusiasm of assent one boy was
silent and disconsolate, she said:
What's the matter. Willie? Don't
you wish to be PRESIDENT
"Yes'm. but can't" replied the boy.
How do you know you can't?" she
asked.
Because I'm a Democrat"
That let him out.

The truth is, there is now more dis
affection in the Democratic party than
there was when Bryan was nominated

WEBSTER BUILDING
WILL Be RAZED
Selected as Site for the New
Police Court.
HISTORY OF THE EDIFICE
Stands Now Much as When 1t Was Oc-
cuPied by Massachusetts, Senator
as Law Offices.
HISTORY OF THE EDIFICE

The Webster Law Building. in D
Street. between Fifth and Sixth Streets
northwest, which has been one of the
landmarks of Washington for more than
half a century. will soon be RACED. TO
make room for the new Police Court
Building.
The old. yellow building. erected near
~ three-quarters of a century ago, has
many historic associations. since it first
became famous in the 40s. when It was
occupied by Daniel Webster. when he
practiced law in the District.
Within the past two years, when the
question arose Of erecting a new build
ing for a Police Court. # was deter
mined that the site occupied by the Web
ster Law Building was the most suitable
70 be found in the vicinity Of the old Po-
lice Court. Accordingly. the Commission
ers some weeks ago fled a petition in the
District branch of the Supreme Court
Of the District, asking that the build
ing be condemned as a site for a new
Police Court Building. and that ap-
praisers be appointed to assess the value
of the premises. The court appointed
appraisers. who last week made a re-
port assessing the value of the property
at SS5,41O.
Description of Property.
The property is described in the pro-
ceedings as lot in square 4Ss. and in
cludes both the Webster Law Building
and the annex. A clear title can be
given with the exception Of a one-haf in
terest in the east one inch of land COW
cred by the annex. This. however. will
not prevent the work of the erection
or the new police court being begun as
early as possible and completed as soon
as practicable.
Not Much Changed.
The Webster Law Building is made OF
brick, and is three stories in height. As
in the days when il was occupied by
Mr.. Webster as a law office so Il is now
There are. however. a large number OF
attorneys who have offices In the build
ing The most prominent Of the present
occupants is Campbell Darlington. who
has occupied the second floor OF the
main building since 1855. Some Of the
others who have offices IN the historic
building are Attorneys Homer and Hol-
land, Samuel y. Truit, and s. E Lacey.
The basement OF the building IS occu-
pied by Attorneys John Moss and James
NJ. Kicks. There are also a carpenter
shop and q barber shop in the basement
Attorney Campbell Darlington Is out
OF the city. Inquiry at his office as Il
where he viii remove his office could
not be answered definitely. II was sua
gested, however. that he will move "a
MS own building, 500 d Street mort n.
