Next Monday is the birthday ami
versary of George Washington, the
Father of His Country, but it has
been so long since Washington was
born, 1882, and so long since he died,
1899, that it will hardly receive the
consideration that has just been
shown to the Centennial anniversary
of Lincoln.

that had again gathered at the doors

President Roosevelt always caught
the crowds on his way to and from
church. His rapid gait, and the diff
Guilty the Secret Service men had to
keep pace with him always served to
attract the attention of passers-by.
Mr.. Taft declined to walk too rapidly,
observed all the conventionalities and
altogether was a disappointment.
1t was noticed that the two Secret
Service agents who kept close to the
President wore the conventional frock
coat and silk hat which is the distinc-
tive garb of the service operatives.
President Roosevelt never insisted
upon this, and as a result the men
who watched over him arrayed them
selves as they saw fit. The change is
taken to mean that President Taft
proposes to maintain a more dignified
establishment than his ~free-and-easy
predecessor.
After Sunday luncheon the Presi-
dent bestrode Sterret, his newly ac-
CURED horse, purchased at Hot
Springs, Va, and with General Clar-
ence R. Edwards, his military aid;
Captain Archibald Butt and ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's orderly, McDermott,
went for a twelve-mile ride over the
newly constructed Potomac speedway.
Automobiles will be almost the ex-
elusive method of locomotion of Pres
ident Taft and his family. The
White House automobile will have
the right of way throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and will know no
speed limit.
Two fine new automobiles already
have been purchased with the $12,-
900 appropriated by Congress for this
purpose, and Mr.. Taft has given them
a thorough trial. One is a good
weather machine, a big touring car
with detachable top, and painted in
dark green of three shades. This will
be the mi most used by the Presi-
dent. The other car has a limousine
body painted black, and was pur-
chased for the use of Mrs. Taft. Both
bear on each door the official coat of
arms of the United States.
The cars are in charge of men sent
from the factories, who will turn the
machines over to the White House
head chauffeur, who will receive 500
a month. He will have one assistant.
The White House garage will be in
the present stables. Besides the two
automobiles they will quarter seven
horses, which will be at the disposal
of Secretary Carpenter and his assist
ants, or may be used by the Tafts.
The only horses which will be used
by President Taft and his family will
be the new saddle horse recently rur-
chased in Virginia for the use of the
President and any saddle horses re-
quired by the other members of his
family.

Washington, D. C.-Mrs. William
Howard Taft, FIRST lady of the land"
has assumed duties without public
ceremony or oath of office which, in
weight of responsibilities, magnitude
of Importance, delicacy of execution
and lack of compensation, have no
comparison.
President Taft is charged under
his oath with executing the Office of
President" Mrs. Taft is charged,
without oath, of administering the
social and domestic affairs of the
White House. Mrs. Taft will execute
these requirements primarily by
means of her long experience in pub
lie life. She is in full possession of
the detailed requirements of her po-
sition, has reached her own conclu-
sions, and is already making the mi
nor changes in the administration of
the executive mansion necessary to
meet her own ideas.
The addition of the executive Office
building permits of an entire divorce
ment of the official business of the
President from the White House pro-
per, and this is to be availed of to
the full extent. That the main en-
trance of the White House may pre-
sent as near as possible the appear
ance of a private residence, the uni
formed police officers and frock-coat-
ed doorkeepers have been eliminated,
and in their place are negro footmen
in livery. For safety an officer is re-
tanned on duty in the miniature Office
room inside the main entrance, and
another on the second floor of the
mansion.
The rights of the public are recog-
nized by the maintenance of the hour
from noon until 1 o'clock, when ad-
mission is granted through the east
entrance to the historic East Room
and the parlors of the mansion.
Mrs. Taft has abolished the posi-
tion Of steward, and will conduct her
domestic arrangements through a
woman housekeeper.
While the season of prescribed Of
fetal dinners is over, it may be pre-
dicted that the new tenant of the
White House will conduct a series of
Informal social functions during the
special session of Congress which will
bring renewed animation and social
life to the sedate and sombre struc-
ture during the first few months of
the Taft regime.
President Taft surprised church
goers by walking democratically to
services at All Souls Church. He
was accompanied by his brother,
Charles P. Taft. The crowd Of GU
rious that had gathered at the edifce
to see the new President were expect
ing him to arrive in an automobile,
and the President and party were at
the doors of the church before the
expectant throng realized that the
Chief Executive had walked through
the crowd without being recognized.
There was no demonstration along
the street or at the church. When
the services were over the President
