CHANGES IN WHITE HOUSE
Executive Needs Crowding Upon Pres
idential Family Life.
OFFICIAL RESIDENCE SUGGESTED
building Rich i'm Historical Asssocia-
tions-Recollections and Pc
cuIiarities of its De-
~cupants.

An item In the public appropriations bill
passed by the late congress tends to formu-
late the, as yet, rather nebulOus idea held
many minds that as the years pass a
new residence for the president of the
United States will become a necessity. SO
many Of the rooms of the White HOUSE
are and have always been devoted to pub
lie and official business that the presidents
and their families, the tenants at will OF
the people, have always been limited as to
sleeping rooms.
When the prince OF Wales visited this
country during the administration OF the
bachelor president" James Buchanan. the
president had to give up his own bedroom
and sleep in the corridor.
with the advent Of the six Roosevelt
children official apartments had to be va
Gated for their use. The youngest pfesi-
dent with his half-dozen practical pro-
tests against race suicide was therefore
responsible for the building of the new
executive offices which are connected with
the main building by p~assageways. Even
with the relief this affords, so much OF the
White House is still devoted to public and
official purposes that each new mistress
must at times yearn for the privileges and
privacy Of a home of her own.
official Residence
The cloudy idea which in the future may
be embodied In another structure is that
the nation should supply two residences
for the chief executive-an official and a
personal one.
The White House, rich as it Is in his
toric associations, could be used as the
public office building of the president, be
more accessible to the general public than
1t now is and be the official theater of
state functions. In addition, and separate
from this, the executive and his family
should be given a private residence in
som desirable section, for with the growth
of the city the best residence section Of
Washington is gradually receding from the
historic old location selected in the life
time Of the first president.
The item in the appropriations bill which
some interpret as looking forward to this
provides for the purchase of a tract of
land for park purposes. This tract is about
two miles north Of the White House and
easily accessible by the Sixteenth street
boulevard. In these days of rapid com
munication and transit a space difference
Of two miles is practically nil.
1t Is almost one hundred and six
years since George Washington presided
at the laying Of the cornerstone Of the
executive mansion in the Federal City" as
no called the city which was afterward to
bear his name. This ceremony took place
on October 10, 1892, the 300 university of
of the landing Of Christopher Columbus.
Eight years were consumed in building the
presidents palace" and Washington had
been dead almost a year when the second
president, John Adams, and his wife, Abb
gail, took possession of the mansion.

THEY ARE PROSPEROUS

"This is a bad time for the c,l-
lamity stump speakers to make
an appeal to the farmers. With
wheat at 81 bushel and corn
selling nearly as high as wheat
did few years ago and with
granaries bursting with both,
the farmer is feeling pretty snug,
thank you. Of all classes of
people who work with their
hands, no other class in the
world has prospered so rapidly
as the American farmer in the
past decade. The farmer, to be
sure, is a capitalist in a small
way as well as a laborer. He
sticks to his plow and is less
easily moved by sudden whims
than most other men. Demo-
cratic efforts just now to make
the farmer think he is taxridden
and robbed, fall on deaf ears.
Anyhow, he is too busy garner
ing an s8, 100000, 1000 annual crop
to have much time for calamity
stories. "-Smyrna Times.

RRpuBLIcANs HAVE MADE COOP

Our Democratic friends in

suit of the election for county of
ficers and thirsting for several
years for public Office, and the
incidental salaries, and they are
exerting themselves to- the ut
most to capture control of the
court house officers. AnG. by the
way, it is well to note what Sen
ator Sparks said at Hockessin
last evening regarding the state
treasury.
"They prattle of the extrava-
gance of the Republicans-yet
only in respect to one or two sal
aries paid, under an act passed
by the joint votes of Democrats
and Republicans in the General
Assembly-and at the same time
refuse to consider for an instant
the old Democratic record of
wastefulness and mismanage.
ment of public money. The rec
ords of the Democratic officials
cannot be found in many impor-
tant instances, and thus the
Democratic shouts that the past
must be forgotten.
"But the taxpayers do not for
get so easily. 1t is known, and
it is on record, that under the
management of county affairs by
the Republicans the most scrup-
ulous attention has been paid to
the records and a close account
ing has been made. Under the
Republicans the county has been
enriched by many miles of good
roads, bridge work has been
done, and in every respect the
financial affairs of the people have
been conducted with close at
tention to the rules of economy
and full returns for every dollar
paid out.
"This ought to be enough to
know. The county officers are
merely the servants of the people

cans who have charge stands out
