Day of the Lobbyist Gone.

THE talk still going on up and
down the country about the hordes of
lobbyists in Washington Is bound to
be amusing to folks who know the
real situation. 1t has been so many
years since I had a good square look
at genuine, sure-enough Washington
lobbyist that wouldn't know how TO
act II saw one" declared an old resi-
dent.
The lobbyist Of Wash ngton is nj.
most If not altogether type of The
past, and none of the old-time LOBBY
ing methods is used any more. Those
antique yarns about representatives ir
congress finding bundles of 81 .oOl
bills In their overcoat pockets uDo
leaving dinners given by famous lob
byists are still occasionally revi sec
but everybody who knows which wa

perellcts at Washinaton.

No city on earth offers so few open
ings for men who must work for liv-
ing as does Washington, from the fact
that outside of government jobs there
are few places to fill, says Lillian NJ
Cheshire. There is nothing in the
line Of manufactures and other open
ings found in other large cities. But
these unfortunates can live here a
long time on nothing year, and this
from the fact that friends in the de-
partments help them along until they
realize that 1t is to be perpetual
thing every payday; room rent is
cheap, and three-cent lunch rooms are
spread all over Washington Friends
from home occasionally visit the city
and touches" of substantial nature
are made. and many of them get re-
mittances from home which they learn
to plank down for actual expenses, re-
lying on chance acquaintance which
they meet in hotel Hobbies to furnish
all the necessary liquid refreshments.

one mile and two hundred yards.
writes ]. Harry Shannon in the Illus
trated Sunday Magazine.
Consult map of Washington city
and note large park of irregular
shape beginning at the west end of
the capitol grounds and extending
westward more than a mile. joining
the south side of the White House
grounds. This is the Mall. The east
end of the tree-grown and flower
decked tract is occupied by the Ma
tional Botanic garden and to the west
are the headquarters of the United
States fish commission, the Army Med
teal museum, the National museum
and the Smithsonian institution, the
department of agriculture, the bureau
of engraving and printing and the
Washington monument. Obliquely,
and to the northwest, runs Pennsyl-
vania avenue from the Peace monu-
ment at one entrance to the capitol
grounds, to the treasury building Is
squares away. Between the Mall and
the great avenue are about 25 built-uI
blocks, traversed by three avenues
Missouri, Louisiana and Ohio-and
streets, Third to Fifteenth and B and
E inclusive.
1t is an old plan to restore ihi'
truncated triangle, or trapezoid if you
will, to the public domain that the
Mall may be extended to Pennsylvania
avenue. and that federal buildings. as
the government needs them, or as con
gress elects. shall be built along the
south side of this great way In a set
ting of green gardens.
That the national government needs
buildings In Washington is a fact The
building program authorized by con-
gress has never kept pace with the
need for buildings. Two of the ex-
ecutive departments-the department
of commerce and labor and the de-
partment Of justice-are housed in
rented quarters and list of govern
ment bureaus, divisions and offices In
rented rooms would be tiresomely
long
A common policy of congress has
been when the construction of a new
public building was determined on, to
select as its site one of the public
parks, or a part of a public park. These
reservations like the streets and
avenues in tie District of Columbia,
are not owned by The city of Washing
ton but by the United States. The
policy of setting up public structures
in the city parks brought pro,es, from
the citizens of Washington. who see
that this policy, If persisted in. would
convert the park space in the city into
building sites. The people of Wash
ington on the whole consider beauty
one of the assets of the city. and want
the parks preserved as beauty spots
and recreation centers. They object
that the national government should
treat the parks of the capital as va
cant building lots.

Want No Fun on Sunday.

Women in Washington are beginning
to regret the introduction OF the Sun
day entertainment, for the round of
social activity in the capital now
counts seven days in the week. 1t is
said that Mrs. Taft as soon as she
enters the White House will frown
upon the practice. The innovation be-
gan with the diplomatic set, and was
encouraged by Mrs. Perry Belmont
and Mrs George w. Vanderbilt and
other New York women who spend part
of each season in Washington Then
Mrs John r. Mclean conceived the
idea of Sunday breakfasts at Friend
ship, her place, ten miles from the
city. and society suddenly found it had
practically resigned its Sunday Il
social duties as exacting as those Oh
other days Of the week. Clergymen
preached against the tendency from
the pulpit, but the entertainments
were kept up. Now, however. several
prominent women have taken the stu
alton in hand and promise to restore
Sunday to its old quiet and restful in
activity.
