luHIrE HOUSE WEDDINGS.

The announcement of the engage

the wedding is 10 occur I'm February

OF a president is married in the White

White House since 1856, when Presi-

Frances Folsom.
The first marriage ceremony per-
formed IN the White House took place
in President Madison's second term,
when Robert Todd, son OF Mrs. Madi-
son by a former husband, was the
groom. In 1920 President Monroe's
daughter was married In .he White
House TO one of the Livingstons. Then
came an interval OF many years with
out a ceremony in the executive man

Ulysses S. Grant. became the bride of
captain Algernon SartorIs, did the

A FOOLISH REMARK.

Some weeks ago the Rev. George
Chalmers Richmond, curate of ST.
Johns Episcopal church at Stamford,
Conn. made. during the course of a
sermon, the statement that any man
who accepts 4 salary of as much as
$25, 900 year is a thief. There was
no qualification OF the remark. The
statement was made BADLY and boldly.
that no man who receives $4,000 a
year OF more for Lis services can be
an honest man.
The outcome has been the dismissal
of Mr.. Richmond. He and his friends
say he was discharged because his
statement aroused the ire OF some of
the wealthy members of his congre-
CATION. The rector says Mr.. Richmond
/ was dismissed because his services were
unsatisfactory. If the rector had ad-
mitted that Mr., Richmond's rash as
/ sertion was the cause of his dismissal
as it probably was, there wohld not
have been a great deal OF criticism.
Mr.. Richmond spoke very rashly in
deed. There are plenty Of men in the
United States who earn $4,000 a year
as honestly as the horny-handed son
of toll who earns his $3.50 or 50 a day.
/ They are worth the salary they re-
/ ceive just as surely as the clerk who
draws $40 or SIS a week. The presi-
dent of the United States receives $50
I 0G0 a year Surely Mr.. Richmond does
not believe Mr.. Roosevelt is a thief.
| 1t is quite true that many men would
/ bee willing TO take the presidency FOR
considerably less money, even for
nothing a year, but that doesn't make
Mr.. Roosevelt a thief.
/ Exceptional talent in the world of
! business is entitled to and should re-

| tionai rewards. we have. and in this
we may be unfortunate, devised 70 bet
I ter way of recognizing great talent
/ than by rewarding Il with money.
/ While some of our ablest men have not
/ received such rewards, it will DC found,
as a rule, that they were not men of
/ business, that their talents were occu-
pied in fields Of science or in the serv-
/ ice of their country.
/ The Herald believes that men who

A SAD DISAPPOINTMENT.

SO deeply that we fear the Christmas

looking forward 10 receiving the Rec

Leader Williams. The outline FUR
nished by the Associated Press of the

We opened it with anticipation OF

found:

The blow was "a serious one, but we

hope was not well founded. Says the
Record
''(Afr. SHACHLEFORD addressed the

The Herald has heretofore COM

esteemed Congressional Record. a Jour
nal that should above all things be alb
aolutely accurate. The statements
made by NIessrs. Williams. Lamar and
Shackleford were made before the
house in committee OF the whole.
Every word they spoke was taken down
by an official stenographer. Yet it is
perfectly obvious that the reason they
do not appear in the Record OF the
date on which they were uttered is
that their authors wish to revise
them.
il is not disputed that a member Of
congress has a right 10 withhold his
remarks in order to be sure that the

is printed the speaker is made 10 say
