WHITE HOUSE FAMILIES.
William Henry Harrison Had
the Largest, Consisting of Ten
Children.

Nnlidren.
BJston Globe,
There have been times in
American history when an advo-
cate Of large families could not
have cited the household of the
White House as an example, for
small families have been the rule
i'll the Width House, and the cen
sus taker in more than one ad-
ninistration would have been OBJ
Iiged to report, mo family"
Yet only two bachelors have
been elected to the presidency,
one OF these, Grover Cleveland,
changed his condition by marry
ing before completing his first
term. James Buchanan in his
youth was party to a romantic
love affair, and after the death
of the young lady he appears
never to have thought of marry
irg.
1t has been said that few Presi-
dents had what President Roose-
welt would call large families.
William Henry Harrison had the
largest; he was the father of six
sons and four daughters. He
was the oldest man ever elected
to the presidency. Hays and
Garfield had the next largest
families; in the Hayes family
were born eight children, and in
the Garfield family seven, a large
number in each case growing tC
maturity.
President Grant had foul
children, three sons and one
daughter, and one of these sons
Frederick D. Grant, is a major
general in the army. Abraham
Lincoln had four sons, Rober
Todd Lincoln, who became Secre
tary of War under President
Garfield and Arthur, alone sur
viving to maturity. Presiden
johnson had two daughters
Martha and Mary, Martha pre-
siding over the White House dur
ing the frequent illness of he
invalid mother.
President Arthur was a wild
over, and his sister presided owe
the White House. He had tw
children living but his first child
a son, died in infancy. Pres
dent Van Buren also was a wild
over. He had five sons. Pres
dent Taylor had a son and tW
daughters, Of whom one marie
jefferson Davis.
President Pierce had thre
sons, two of whom died in il
fancy, and the third, a boy of l;
! was killed in the presence of hi
| parents in a railroad accident tW
months Lcfore his fathers inaue

it is a result of laws and condi-
tions established by Republican
Legislation doubtless to a large
extent the result Of the workings
of. the robber tariff. A change in
the national government is advis-
able at this time. The Republican
party has been in power too long
already. 1t is time the people
should take a look at the books.
Twelve years is too long for
one party to remain in absolute
control of the national govern
ment-as it is so far removed
from the people entirely differ
ent from the State government.
How much rottenness and rascal
ity would be unearthed if new
crowd were put in charge, it is
hard to tell.
The Republican party has made
the full dinner pail, ""the emp
ty and rusty dinner pail" and
it's policies have brought ruin and
disaster upon our country. Our
cotton mills are idle, or almost
so; the lumber mills are silent;
the carpenter with his saw and
hammer is not so frequently
heard. In every branch Of hu-
ham industry the terrible and
blighting effects Of Republican
policies tell their pitable story.
What was once a busy pros
porous people are today kept busy
looking for work at reduced
wages, with higher prices for
foodstuffs. Surely we have had
enough of Republicanism for a
decade at least.
Shall the people rule is the
Democratic slogan. They do not
now rule in National affairs. The
rules of the House and Republi-
can party, prevents the people s
representatives from passing
laws in the interest of the peo.
pie. Only the favorite interests
are now heard. Give the peo.
pie a chance!

AS Between Father and Son.

Boston Herald.
Grant that dad" was as a
rule a child's name for father;
where is the disrespect in the use
of it by any son, however old he
may be? We have often heard
the word used when the relations
between father and son were un-
usually tender, when the two
we're close companions, when
there was complete understand
ing and the strongest love. There
was a time in New England when
son addressed his father in
writing, RESPECTED Sir" The
father was then of the Roman
order. There was little thought
Of any possible intimacy. The
son stood in awe of the sire.
Hence, too often domestic TRACE
dies. When you hear a lad speak
to-day of his father as 1.-The ole
man" you may reasonably infer
that there is no sweet companion,
ship. If a boy mentions his dad
there is a world of affection in the
word. There is a touch of hard
ness, a suspicion of fear in the

Neatly Said, and True.

Taking note Of the fact that
Judge Taft is to make a campaign
tour, Mr.. Bryan delivered him
self of some remarks a few days
ago which are particularly felic-
itous. He said:
We'll, | am getting a great
deal of consolation out of the
way the President and Mr.. Taft
have been doing. l used to be
called hard names because | ad-
vocated an income tax and now
the income tax has been endors-
ed by the President and Mr..
Taft. | used to be bitterly de-
nounced because favored rail-
road regulation. Now the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Taft have brought
that reform into popularity and
am no longer considered danger
GUS. | used to get d good deal OF
criticism because | favored tariff
reform, but now tariff reform
has become so urgent that Mr..
Taft is willing to have a special
session called Immediately after
Inauguration to act on the sub
ject. 1t used to be that when |
talked about independence for
the Filipinos | was told the
American flag never came down
when it once went up. Now we
have Republican candidate fol
the presidency who believes that
the Filipinos must ultimately
have independence.
'But | have reason to rejoice
over the fact that some of the
things I have done are now
viewed in a more favorable light
When | made some phonograpF
records in order that might
discuss political questions before

Samuel Legerwood Patterson
was the son of Samuel Finley
Patterson, through whom he was
connected with the Patterson and
Finley families, who bore a prom
inent part in the history of this
country during the past two cen
turies. On the mothers side he
descended from the Joneses and
Lenoirs, families both prominent
and honored. He married in the
seventies Miss Mary Senseman,
of Salem, the loving companion
whose life has been to him a con,
stant benediction. One child, 6
daughter, was born to them. The
birth of the daughter, who was
so joyfully welcomed, occurred
on the same night and in the
same home in which her grand
father died. The hope that the
new life given them would Ions
be spared to bless the home from
which the venerable ancestor haC
just been taken was not realized
and the daughter dropped anc
died in her first year.
Mr.. Patterson was highly
respected and beloved by those
who knew him best. His neigh
bors always bore willing testi
mony to his worth and at the
polls they voted for him will

the personifcation Of kindness
and charity and none was turned
away from his door with empt.
hands. He will be greatly miss
ed now that he will go in and ou
