No Press Agent Now at the White House

cline to take up subjects he is not
ready or willing to discuss. In appli-
cation, however, there is good deal
of latitude. After the subject men,
toned is disposed of the president
talks about various matters brought
up by himself or his visitor.
President Taft has an intimate per-
sonal acquaintance with nearly all the
newspaper correspondents in Wash
ington. He calls them by their first
names and by nicknames. He knows
their families and friends. With those
in whose discretion he has confidence
he chats in the same jolly, frank way
as of old-with this difference: the
visitor is made to feel that he must
not take professional liberties. Mr..
Taft does not want himself or the
White House written up as show. On
account of his personal intimacy with
the newspaper men he did not adhere
to his original plan Of combining them
to very formal interviews, but this
concession does not mean making
copy" out of casual conversation.
There is no more running to him to
verify reports, to learn who is to be
appointed to Office, to get stories about
senators, to get advance statements
prior to official action.
Mr.. Taft does not say much about
it, but he let's it be known that he in
sists upon the dignity Of his office.
He likes small talk to express his
views about men and affairs. and his
visitors may use what they hear for
their guidance, but not as presidential
gossip for publication

Wrote ''HOme, Sweet Home''

Just where Long Island meets the
ocean at its most easterly point, there
to-day, as a hundred years ago, sits
the little village of East Hampton.
Rev. Lyman Beecher was preaching
some good sermons in the church OF
that village when John Howard
Payne's father moved his family there
and accepted the presidency of Gin.
ton academy. From those sermons,
John Howard, though a mere boy,
caught glimpses of the road over
which the thought OF this great preach.
er travelled to wider and broader hope.
It was case Of the brooklet, while
yet brooklet. having found the sea.
Even when child John Howard
Payne was engaging and mannerly.
He possessed remarkably fine ad-
dress and his mind seemed to be pre-
maturely rich. His father was an elo-
cutionist as we'll as a teacher. Rev.
Lyman Beecher, whom the boy almost
idolized, was a preacher, but neither
of these vocations quite satisfied the
boy, SO he chose the stage. In 1909,
at the age of II, he appeared in New
York as the Juvenile WONDER" and
for % years thereafter he played sue
cessfully in both Europe and America.
Few people know Mr. Payne, ex-
cept as the author of Home, Sweet
Home" but as matter of fact, he
was great dramatist great actor,
great translator. In 1841 he received
the appointment of United States con-
sui at Tunis, Africa. The fact that
practically no satisfactory information
can be found in books of reference re-
garding Mr.. Payne's removal from the
service at Tunis, has given the i'm
preston that some mistake in his
case was made at Washington, which
was never corrected nor made public.
The tone of disappointment in the fol
lowing statement made by him while
before he died, rather emphasizes that
impression: How often have l been
in the heart of Paris, Berlin, London,
or some other city and have heard
persons singing or hand organs play
ing Home, Sweet Home and without
shilling to buy myself meal, or a
place to lay my head. The world has
literally sung my song until every
heart is familiar with it's melody, yet
l have been wanderer from my boy.
hood. My country has turned me
ruthlessly from office and in my old
age l have to submit to humiliation
for my bread"
Home, Sweet Home" was mere
fragment-a sort of parenthesis
which was thrown into his opera THE
Maid of Milan" to entertain the audi
ence while the scene shifted to a
stronger part. 1t was first sung by
Miss M. Tree, a sister of Mrs. Charles
Kean, with such marvellous effect thai
it won for Miss Tree the heart of q
rich husband and the publishers of the
opera reaped fortune, although tn,
author received but little benefit
