TAFTs FIRST SUNDAY.
As An Occupant of The White House
Was a Quiet One.

Washington, March s.--DemocratiC
simplicity characterized the first Sunday
in the White House of the Taft family
President Taft, accompanied by his
brother, Charles P. Taft, walked to the
Unitarian church for morning services
The capacity OF the edifee was taxed
to its worshippers and strangers whose
curiosity impelled their presence.
1t was expected that the president
would arrive in his automobile and his
sudden appearance among the crowd of
several hundred persons on the side
walk and street, was a surprise. 1neie
was no attempt at demonstration but
the .Jearnestnlss to get a close view Of
the new president was not yeiled.
y After service the president accompan-
led his brother on foot to the latter's
temporary residence at Dupont circle,
where he remained for more than an
hour. He returned to the White House
on foot and after luncheon, bestrode
"Sterret," his newly acquired horse,
purchased at Hot Springs, Va, and with
Gen. Clarence II. Edwards his military
aide; Captain Archibald Butt, and Pres
ident Rooseyelt's orderly, McDermott,
went for a 12-mile ride over the newly
constructed Potomac speedway.
President Taft saw no callers who had
business to transact during the day, thus
beginning his administration with his
heretofore enforced maxim that Sunday
should be day of rest.
A quiet family dinner was served at
the White house during the evening at
which were present several members of
the Taft family who are still in the
city.
Asked regarding published predictions
of diplomatic and federal appointments
Mr. Taft announced that he would have
nothing to add to such discussion and
would continue his policy Of silence nm
til he was prepared to make ofiicia, an
nouncements Of appointments.

difficult to accept This is particular

gendered by greed among members

the Greek charges came to public at

seem that the trouble makers of the

TO create perjury among their own

that in fairness TO the public and Mr..

Some OF this work WAS done on each
of the forests in the United States.
Although many needed improve
ments could not be undertaken, the
benefits of what has been accom-
plished are seen in the more con
yenient and economical manner in
which the forest officers are enabled
10 carry on their work and in the
opening up TO forest users of terri
tory hitherto inaccessible The re-
naming 297.S40.40 of the total of
SO, 6.1076l, disbursed on account
of work of the forest service was used
in forest Investigations costing
$235,S55.l4 and in diffusion of for
est information and federal co-opera-
ton.
The forest service is one of the
branches of the government where
everything is not outgo. Last year
the receipts from sales of timber.
grazing fees and permits for special
uses of forest resources amounted to
Sl,S42 ,2S1.S7. an increase of SELL
222.43 over the 1907 figures The
per acre receipts from the national
forests were a little more than one
cent, less than five mills under the
per acre cost of administration and
protection of the forests.
The amounts paid the states and
territories, to be expended for roads
and public schools from the years re-
eeipts. amounted To $447.063.7S.
Chiefly because of increasing the rev
enue to the states from | o per cent
in 1907 10 % per cent last year.
there was total increase of $294,-

In addition. the national forests

The marHed careers of divorced
couples in the United States, accord
ing TO Bulletin 90 of the census bu-
reau, endured an average of 90
years, reckoning for the two decades
before 1905, as against 90 years in
the period from 1857 to 1856. But
in the earlier period, curiously
enough, proportionately more di-
vorces were granted during the first
years of welded life, and after the
tenth year proportionately fewer by
one-haif than those recorded since
1887 Two factors may account for
this, u) the lengthening of the av-
erage life of individuals in the last
score of years, putting more mar
riages, and consequently more di-
vorces, into the later age groups, and
CD the advanced age at marriage.

state may be more tolerant of its
burdens should the yprove unpleas-
