that he Is capable Of taking good care
Of himself In debate and he can
mako an interesting and Informative
speech. His experience on his Phil
ippine tour last summer was not alto
gether that of love-making. He
studied intelllgently conditions In the
islands. and when the Philippine tarin
bill was up in the house he had an OPP
portunity to display his knowledge OF
the whole subject. He does not hesi-
tate to speak plainly about the Phil
ippines, and declares that the United
States will be well rid Of them when
they can be properly governed BY
their own people.
Mr.. Longworth Is now advocating q
very important measure which, II II
becomes law, will distinguish him
as man who has accomplished real
reform. His bill provides for the pur-
chase of land and the erection Of en-
bassies and legation buildings for our
representatives in foreign lands. HIS
own travel abroad in Europe and In
the orient has impressed him with the
very shabby showing the United
States makes In the matter OF homes
for her diplomats. For posts In Eu-
rope very wealthy men have to be Sc
lected as ambassadors in order to DO
credit to the government In the mat
ter OF embassies and in entertaining.
Whitelaw Reid, at London, pays 1885,
900 year merely for the rental OF a
mansion, or twice the salary he re-
ceives from his government.
Compared with the generous sala-
ries paid foreign ambassadors In
Washington and the liberality OF their
home governments in purchasing for
them permanent quarters here. the
United States cuts very sorry figure
abroad.

throng as to ruin gowns and tempers
Since the Roosevelts came to the
White House different system has
been In force, under which there Is a
judicious division of invitations, so
that everybody who ought to be in
vited will get at least one invitation
to each reception. The capacity of the
old mansion is limited. despite the
wide-famed East room, which is sup
posed to accommodate. thousands.
Every function at the White House
proclaims loudly the necessity of an
executive building where the presi-
Dental Offices could be located and a
large hall be provided for ofifcial re-
ceptions, leaving the present mansion
exclusively for the private use Of the
president and his family.
The idea Of grand executive build
ing Is at present kept in the back
ground, although the Insignificant ex.
ecutive Offices where the president
does his work were erected as temper
airy quarters In expectation that con-
gress would take up the matter and
provide a proper place for executive
headquarters. There is not day
passes that the inadequacy OF the
White House ofiices is not emphasized
There is no more beauty about the
building than there is about the aver
age country railroad station. The
rooms are uncomfortable, ugly and
not very healthful.
The worst feature about these tenn
porary quarters is that the president
is separated from the public by only
one or two doors, and noises In the
outer ofices penetrate easily into the
cabinet room or into his own once.
The deplorable Mrs. Morris incident
could not have occurred In building
that had been constructed for protec-
ton as well as use Of the president.
She raised row within ten feet Of the
presidents room, something she could
not have done In properly construct
ed building.
