Benjamin Harrison saved money
while in the White House, but was
not wealthy at the time of his

dency he was worth probably not
more than $4,000. He lived simply
while in the White House and
saved more than 500, 900 during his

was magnifcently provided for by
the nation, 100000 being raised for
her, while her pension of $1,000 a
year made it a certainty that she
should never want.
Hayes was accused of parsimony
during his term of office because he
offered no wine to his guests at
state dinners; but the charge was
wholly unjust, inasmuch as he was
as liberal as other Presidents in
entertaining. He gave one spread
at a reception that cost him &c. 600.
Mr.. Hayes, who spent the last years
of his life in what he called de
ligh+sul retirement" left his family
well off.
Grant, during his first term, got
only $685. 900 a year.. but of the begin

THE GREAT AMERICAN PUBLIC.

The child of a railway wrecker was wed
to "a titled rake.
With the treat American Public agape
for the titles sake.
The crew of a speeding fiier were killed
in a reckless run,
And the Great American Public thought
something should be done.
The son of a man of millions was tried
for his life or death,
And the Great American Public stood
by with bated breath.
Three hundred men in a coal mine were
crushed by a propless wall,
And the Great American Public said
never a word at all.
The loot of tie genteel grafters waxed
richer year by year,
But the Great American Public declined
to interfere.
For the Great American Public is
blessed with a mind sublime
A crime in the seventh figure is freed
from the faint of crime.
So come in a golden glamour and kill or
steal your fill.
For the Great American Public does
love its gilded pul. Puck.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What is h present status of the sew
eral States in the matter of prohibition,
and what progress has been made in
temperance legislation in the last few
years? d. e.
1.-THE first p%rohibitory law was that
of Maine. 1851. In 1870 persons living
under prohibition numbered about
1900. 900. In 1908 persons living under
absolute prohibition, of State, city,
town or county, foot up 80, 0o0, 900. There
are six dry States-Alabama, Georgia,
Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma and North
Dakota Kentucky mas 81 dry coun-

South Carolina, 80 per cent; Tennessee

Nearly All the Presidents Retired
from office Practically Poor Men

TT is said that Grover Cleveland
died comparatively poor, like
most Of our presidents. He was
poor when he became President. He
made some money through real es-
tate investments in the neighbor-
hood of Washington. With the saw
ings from his salary he bought Oak
View, which he occupied for awhile
as a m home, and other sub
urban property. Then came a
boom in land values, and he sold
out at considerable profit.
Mr.. Taft is admittedly a poor
man. He has absolutely nothing
more than his salary. But for the
aid of his half-brother Charles p,
he would have been unable to make
the canvass for the nomination.
Mr.. Bryan was a poor young law
yer at the time he made his famous
speech in Chicago in 1896, which
won for him a presidential nomina-
ton. Since then he has been MAX
ing money fast, and is now credited
with being worth $780, 600.
MIR. Roosevelt will leave the
White House in comparatively easy
circumstances and will add to the
money he now has by magazine
contributions and the writing of
books. Just what he is worth Is
not known, but it is believed to be
between 100000 and $1,000 0
William Mckinley left an estate
worth between $500, 900 and $780, 900.
