Observation-Disclosures
the recent discovery that by the Pres
ident IS orders, and without other au,
| thority, mammoth railroad station on
| the Mall, in this city, recently vacated
| by one of the great railroads, was
| torn down. Congress had intended il
| should be used as a storehouse or fol
other purposes, as the government pays
an enormous rent bill in the District
of Columbia and at that never has as
much room as it needs. The building
however, was not of artistic appear
ance; the President wanted it tori
down, and he proceeded to tear il
down. This has led to sarcastic warn
ings to Congress to beware lest tn,
President some afternoon raze the
Capitol to the ground.
Probably the cool heads will prevail
and the prospects of a serious breacl
with President Roosevelt will disap
pear. That is the prevailing opinirI
at the Capitol. But before there il
final disposition of the matter ther,
is likely to be spirited debating il
Senate and House. Now that tn,
House Republicans haSe started int
the investigation and by that yer,
fact assumed an attitude of disap
proval of the President, the Demo
Gratis are standing aloof and demand
ing that the Republicans take the sol
responsibility, They say it is no
their kettle Of fish Notwithstanding
the fact that they virtually drove tn
Republicans into taking formal motto
of the offensive paragraph. AS the re
cess of Congress for the holiday
comes very soon, the matter may b
postponed till the New Year.
Nevertheless, the possibilities of Sc
: rious trouble with such situation ar
recognized aud those who wish tn
party well win breathe more freel!
: when the matter has been finally dis
I posed of.
