BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Minor Scenes and Incidents Sketched
on the spot.

In a series of recollections OF the public
and private relations of Washington cor
respondents with public men, one Of the
profession relates In the New York Times
an incident showing how well the news
paper men respect and protect the con-
fidenoes Of men in high station. once upon
a time, he says, Pr~esident-elec Taft turned
loose a flood OF Language in the War de-
partment. Taft is not a cautious man, and
has never accustomed himself to f~iguring
out how a thing will sound lie demon
strated that sufficiently in the late cam
paign, when he singled out labor" audi
ences for the repetition OF his views on in
functions and rammed home his views with
a reckless disregard Of political effect. Mr.
Roosevelt, when he says Il thing, has be-
fore his minds eye a photograph OF the
sentence I'm type, knows how 1t will look
and exactly what effect It will have. Taft
is careless of those things, and even IL he
were not, he has not the gift Of being able
to foresee the effect of what he says.
There were eight men present when Taft
ripped out this statement. Every one OF
them recognized it as a first-class STORY
the best, probably, that had come out of
the War department. in many days. Every
one of them, too, recognized it as a bad
break on Taft's part, and could see the
sloIh OF concentration tnat would come on
him from all over the country il this thing
went into print. There was a moments
pause.
what do you think OF it, gentlemen? p
asked Taft.
Il think, said one OF his auditors, de-
c~isively, that it is a great story. but II
you'll take my advice you'll prohibit us
from printing it. 1t will do you no end OF
harm"
Taft, to whom this view Of the case had
never occurred, sat up as IL he had been
shocked electrically. do you think SOP"
he asked. Gentlemen, do you all think
so?"
There were present men who were ours
ing the outspoken reporter under their
breath as they saw the story getting away
from them, but every man, challenged by
Taft's frank eye, was Obliged to nod ascent
or prove himself a liar.
Then please regard all this as conf
d%ential," said Taft. And 1t never has been
printed to this day and never will be.

President Roosevelt in his office at the
White House Wednesday of last week gave
what may be considered his valedictory,
with permission to a correspondent of the
Chicago Post, who was present, to use It.
The president said:
when the people of the country are
asking the question, What shall we do
for our ex-president?' tell them that they
need do nothing for this ex-president. He
is going out to work and to do for himself.
Il have had a first class time as presi-
dent of the United States, and 1 have en-
joyed every minute of the time l have
been in the White House. When 1 have
finished the last stroke l am going con-
tententedly to work.
his statement came from the president
after the close of a talk with friends with
whom he had been discussing his forth
coming African trip.

The chief of her division demonstrated

declined to do as requested, and the divi-

clerk. The young woman was called into
the chief clerks room.
What seems to be the trouble?" quer-
ried the chief clerk.

The famous Greenough statue of George
Washington, which for years has stood in
the capitol at Washington, has been re-
moved and given a permanent resting place
in the National Museum. The figure OF
Washington resembled a Roman senator
more than it did the first president. and
the statue in consequence was more or
less criticised,

struction of a big hall i'm that city, which

A Washington letter to the Brooklyn
Eagle puts a large fringe of frost on the
suggestion that the federal pie counter in
Washington will be loaded with tempting
morsels after March 4. The new president.
says the correspondent, will go into the
and obligations than have hampered any
of his predecessors, save perhaps Mr..
Roosevelt. Chairman Hitchcock boasts that
he made not a single promise of an office
way during the entire campaign, both for
delegates and the election of Mr.. Taft. This
is an extraordinary record and, of course,
will leave Mr.. Taft a free hand in making
up the roll of officeholders.
Another reason for the belief that there
viii be comparatively few changes after
March 4 is the fact that the great army of
republican political workers in the cam
paign were paid good salaries. The
changed conditions of campaigning, with
no rail road passes and a small campaign
fund, cut out hundreds OF men who usually
lend their services In presidential contests.
consequently the committee was required to
hire more than the usual number OF men.
1t is felt that all obligations to these indi-
viduals were cancelled with the delivery of
their pay checks and if they come around
the White House looking for fat jobs under
Taft they are apt to be sadly disappointed
