The White House is so small that il
barely accommodates the family of the
President when bis children are all at
home. There are just nine bedrooms in
the White House, and each of these is
equipped with bath. In the attic,
which Is low ceilinged and next a tin
roof. making IL unbearabie in Summer
are eight more bedrooms with a bath
or two, and when the White House has
company. the boys are sent up into the
attic to sleep and their rooms are req
uisitioned for the guests. Now every
housewife knows that IL is most unkind
to turn the members of the family out
OF their own rooms. but there is moth
ing else to do under the circumstances

BECAUSE SO many Presidents of the
United States have passed over them,
was the opinion expressed yesterday
by Martin Mcnamara, the contractor
who is taking down the building.
''They are of historic interest" he
said, land it seems as If they ought to
be saved. In fact, tho whole building
is so well constructed and of such good
material it appears shame to tear it
down" This building ought to have
been donated to the Department of the

WILL FURNISH
THE PALM Trees
Mrs. Beard and Miss Sulli-
want Make Generous Of
fer to Civic League.


Mrs. John S. Beard and Miss Fanny
Suliivant, who own a tract of land
south of Tallahassee, near old ST.
Marks, on the Gulf coast, have offered
to furnish all of the palm trees which
the Civic League in Pensacola may
desire for identifying Pensacola's
parks and highways, if the League will
simply arrange TO dig them up and
transport them to Pensacola.
This offer is a very generous one,
and if the matter is properly nam
died it will enable Pensacola to- Sc
cure a large number of these very at
tractive ornamental trees at a small
cost A schooner can be chartered
and force of men sent down the
coast to dig up the trees and load
them on the vessel and several hum
dred scan be secured at very small
cost for each tree.
There II nothing which will add so
much TO Pensacola's tattractiveness for
the visitor as palm trees The PaIa-
fox and Garden street paTkways can
be made places that win rank with
the famous parkways of the world
and liberal use OF palm trees in
them will make them unique among
all southern cities.
1T Is to be hoped tina, the Civic
League and citizens generally will in
terest themselves in this matter.

GAME.

What Is to be about the best foot
ball game of this season is that on
New Years day between the teams
of 1906 of the Pensacola High school

These two teams are the best that
each school has ever turned out and
as both teams are practfcIng hard for
the coming event there is no doubt
but that the -publc>wili witness as good
game as they did in '06.
In 1906 this game was looked for
ward to with as much interest as the
big colleges looked forward to their
Thanksgiving game. 1t can be truth
fully said that the largest crowd at
tended this game that has. ever at
tended a football game in the city.
The gate receipts will be divided
equally between the schools, to go
towards the School Improvement as
sociation and if the weather permits
a large crowd is expected to attend.
The two teams will line up as they
did in the last game:

Editor Nezperce Herald,
Nezperce. Idaho.

Dear Sirs
Please allow few comments on
your editorial in the issue Of April
9th. I agree with you most heartily
that the people Of the Nezperce
prairie, and in fact, all the people
of the state of Idaho, flor the law
was intended for the whole state)
should know before they vote for any
candidate for Office this fall how that
candidate stands on the State Grain
Commission Law, and before going
farther l wish to state that will
gladly cooperate with anyone in an
effort to have the next legislature
amend the present law to make it "an
act" in reality as we'll as in name.
I agree with you as to the purpose
for which laws are made and also
that they should not be placed for
enforcement in the hands of those
who have been doing wrong; and
wish now TO say to you and to your
many readers that the present ware
house law is not in the hands of its
enemies. BY an oversight of the
last legislature that part Of the ware
house law relating to the State Grain
Commission is imperative as you
will see by the following copy of
letter from Honorable J. J. Guheen,
Attorney General.

Dear Sir:

Of the expenses of the State Grain
Commission. and asking for advice
as to the best course for the commits
sion to pursue under the circum-
stances. The bill by which the
grain commission was created (see
Sess. Laws 1907, p. s2o) is dehc-
lent in this that il carries with It
no appropriation for the payment of
the expenses Of the body il creates,
except such provision as is found in

session of the legislature tackled on
to the old warehouse law Of 1891
is imperative, but the old 1891
Law is still in force and its provisions
are ample to protect the most ex-
acting grain producer. As to your
criticism of Governor Gooding's
appointments, would refer you &c
Sec. 8 of the amended law, which
states IS follows, "All of said Com
mission shall take an oath Of Office
the same as required by other state
officers and each of them shall be
competent and experienced grain
men," If the Governor had followed
the letter Of the Law all of the Com
missioners would have either been
members or employees of some grain
firm, but as tits, two of the three are
farmers and the other one a grain
dealer, and Ibelievea all we're appoin-
ted by the Governor unsolicited
AS to your statement that one of the
commissioners has been closly
allied with John P vollmer in a
business way, will say vas in Mr..
vollmer's employ as ranch superin-
tendent for number Of years, quit
ing his employ some seven or eight
years ago, and I am willing to
stand on my past record when serv-
ing the people either as an elective
or appointive officer. In conclusion,
let me say your article seems to be
misleading all the way through as
to the time of the enactment of the
warehouse Law. For your infor-
nation will state that the original
Law was enacted in 18o0-o1 and re-
enacted in 1899, but not changed in
any way. and has not been amended
until the last session when it was
amended by the addition of several
sections creating State Grain Com
mission. l am only a plain farmer
and have poor command oflanguage,
but must say I have always found
when dealing with or for the people
that honesty is the best policy
seven in politics.
Yours truly,
J. L. Goodnight,
Chairman.
