WASHINGTON.-One of the first in

William Howard Taft has brought dis
appointment to the wife of the presi-
dent of the United States. Criticism
is never pleasant, and especially when
one tries to launch a Utopian reform
and fails. But that is what Mrs. Taft
seems to have done and the storm
that has been stirred by her Interior
ence with ancient custom is still ris-
ing.
The trouble arose over Mrs. Taft's
desire to have the Marine bands
weekly concerts, that heretofore have
been given on the lawn behind the
White House, transferred to some
other place. In looking over avail
able places where the Washington
ians, black and white, might listen to
the music, the presidents wife found

House on the banks of the Potomac
Immediately an order was issued
from the executive office to the super
intendent of public buildings and

proceed with the construction of a

N EFFORT to limit the volume of
"A special pension legislation will be
made by Senator McCumber, chair
man of the committee on pensions,
before the adjournment of the present
extra session of congress. Such legis-
lation has grown rapidly until, during
the last congress, about 5000 bills, the
object of most of which was to in
crease existing pensions, were passed.
During the present session about
1000 bills providing for pensions not
obtainable under the general pension
laws have been introduced in the sen
ate alone.
The reasons urged for such legis-
lation have been in the nature of ex-
ceptional conditions either relating to
the necessities of the applicant or to
a failure on his part to satisfy the
technicalities of the law, although he
could prove to the satisfaction of a
committee that he was entitled to
consideration.
But such legislation has grown SO
rapidly that either 1T must be limited
or the pension committees of the SEN
ate and house will have to receive an
additional force, making them, in fact,
pension bureaus Of considerable size.
To meet this condition, and to place
some limitation upon pension legisla-
ton, Senator McCumber proposes to
arrange a joint meeting Of the pension
committees of congress, when some
plan with this purpose in view will be
considered.

army officer, and as such had no op.
portunity to point out to his comman-
der-in-chief that the order might work
injustice to the great middle class of
people. He had to obey blindly.
The result has been that there are
an increasing number of protests be-
ing filed against the change. The
White House always has been access
ible. The new concert ground is far
removed from car lines and there is
neither shade nor seats upon which
those who brave the long walk to the
river front may rest.
To those who possess automobiles
or carriages the place selected by
Mrs. Taft for future concerts is adj
mirable. Society and the official and
diplomatic sets can whirl in their mo-
tor cars and carriages and may appre-
ciate the change, but those music
lovers whose purses are not overly
fat will be compelled to trudge a
weary mile and a half beneath the
heat of the summer sun, if they care
to listen to the strains of one of the
best musical organizations ia the
western hemisphere.
The local newspapers are bonn
barded with letters of protest against
the innovation.
In spite of these protests, however,
the bandstand was prepared and the
concerts are being held there. The
president and Mrs. Taft. were present
ly all the official set and the diplo-
matte dignitaries.

being bathed by her mother, and usual
ly her bath was a great delight to her.
But this morning her mother talked
necessarily, while she worked.
Elsie loved her dearly and tried hard
to be patient. But the lecture was SO
tiresome! Her mother was laying out
a course of conduct for the day-and
it was all SO old. She had heard 1t
over and over again!
Finally she said very sweetly, but

In the search that ensued eight

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
Some Pertinent Observations Made by
Writer Evidently Not Fond of
Subject.

History is a running account of how
King Somebody-or-other either did or
did not get to a certain place, which
nobody v heard of, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that it would have made quite a differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history of the
Garden of Eden depends upon wheth-
er it is related by a mar or a wom-
an. The history of the American rev.
olution reads quite different in Eng
lish books from the way it reads in
our own books. The history of the
civil war depends upon which side of
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write it.
History is a bore, not only because
you are ~unacquainted with the people
who figure in it, but because it repeats
itself.-Life.
