Both Washington and his wife were
reluctant to leave Mt. Vernon and
they were glad enough to Law down
the cares OF public life upon the in
auguration of John Adams as presi-
dent. Mrs. Washington was an aris-
tocrat and her stately and unbend-
Ing ways caused many visitors to
Philadelphia to call her Lady Wash
ington." Her servants wore white
livery and dinners at the executive
mansion were formal affairs.
After Washington's last term as
president neither he nor his wife
wandered far from Mt. Vernon. Two
years after her husbands death Mar
tina Washington remained at the
pleasant home where their happiest
days had been spent. She was men
tally and physically energetic until
her death breakfasting at each
morning and commenting with grim
sarcasm on the democratic ways
which had come into vogue with
Jefferson. On May 90, 1902. she died
IL was release for which she had
ionged since the death of her hus-
band. "All is now over. I shall soon
follow him. I have no more trials
to pass through" she said when first
informed OF his death.

little Martha cambridge was but Is
when she was presented to the gov
ernor at a court reception. She was
Daniel Parke Curtis, who took her to
his stately home on the banks of the
York river, singularly enough known
as the White House.
At the age of 25 Martha Curtis was
left widow with two small children,
two others having died in infancy.
Young, wealthy and of high social
standing, it is not to be doubted that
she had many suitors, but we pos
sess no record of her life in the
months that interviewed between the
death of her husband at the home of
his friend, Major Chamberlayne.
Washington although still a young
man, was already famous because of
his bravery and ability on the ill-fat-
ed Braddock expedition. He was on
his way to Williamsburg upon i'm
portant business and at first de-
INJURED at stopping under his friends
roof but yielded when he was told
that the most charming widow in the
| country was then a guest there. Ira
dition states that he was enamored at
first sight and postponed his journey
onward until the next day. Upon his
return from Williamsburg the young
soldier visited Mrs Curtis at her
home and it was not long before their
engagement was announced.
The marriage was celebrated in
January, 1859. and soon Washington
and his young bride were settled at
Mt. Vernon, entertaining and enter
tained. Until the revolution little oc-
CURED to MARI the tranquility of this
life. No children were born to them
but Washington seldom spoke of his
wife's children by previous marri-
age as my step-children," but usual
ly called them simply "the children"
He seems to have given them the af-
fection that he would have bestowed
upon his own.
In the winter when the British
were besieged in Boston, Mrs. Wash
ington journeyed north to join her
husband. and lived at the Craigie, now
called the Longfellow, house in Cam
bridge. 1t seems to have been a win
ter not unlike the present one, for on
January 81 Mrs. Washington wrote
to a friend that the Rivers has never
been frozen hard enough to walk upon
the Ice since / came here"
The years that followed tried wo-
mems souls as we'll as mems. Cen
eral Washington did not always dare
to allow his wife to share the priva-
tions and dangers of army life, but
she was apparently a woman with a
will of her on. On one occasion.
hearing that her husband was ill., she
wrote him that IL she did not hear of
his speedy recovery she should start
to Join him, and that II she could
not find carriage she would make
the long journey on foot rather than
endure longer the anxiety Of separa-
ton. She was often In camp with
her husband and spent her time knit
ting stockings for the soldiers, whose
bleeding feet left trails OF blood in
the snow on many a rough highway.
When peace was concluded, Mrs.
Washington remained for a short
time at Newburg N. Y, with her hus-
band, but they were soon back at
their beloved Mt. Vernon, where "a
glass of wine and a bit of mutton"
were always In readiness for their
numerous guests.

WOMEN OF THE WHITE HOUSE
MARTHA WASHINGTON.
N~A~O~~~

Although Martha Washington new
er lived in the White House nor even
in the city Of Washington, no series
of glimpses into the lives of the first
ladies of the land would be complete
without a notice of Martha Wash
ington. She might, indeed, be prop
erly considered the first lady of the
White House, for that historic man.
sion was built under the close super
vision of her husband, and 1t is
scarcely to be doubted that our first
president consulted his wife upon the
interior decorations and furnishings.
During Washington's administration,
however, New York and Philadel-
phia were successfully the capital of
the new republic, the former for only
few months. the latter from 1890
to 1900.
Martha Washington, the eldest
child of Colonel John cambridge, was
born on a Virginia plantation on June
81, 1881. We know little about her
girlhood, although we may surmise
that Il was not unlike that of any
daughter of a wealthy southern land
owner. In her later years she taught
her granddaughters to play upon the
spinnet and to fashion curious and
intricate embroideries, arts which she
probably had practiced from early
years.
Children matured at early ages in
that aristocratfc southern society, and

BY action of the legislature of Con-

state ratified the
On Top at Last. amendment provid-
ing for direct cleo
ton of senators and therefore the am
endment becomes effective as soon as
proclaimed.
Out in the west that change will
have but little influence. 1t was al
ready in effect. In the eastern states
however, the amendment will be of
real Importance. 1t will mean the
people will elect their senators. There
will be no more Platts, Quays, Depews,
Penroses and Hannas. Senator'S will
not be hand picked with big business
acting through political bosses doing
the picking The people will do the
work themselves. They will not al
ways select wisely. At times they may
choose men of mediocre ability. Dem
Iagogues may get into office and prove
untrue to their principles in time of
trial. Such things are to be expected.
But taking the nation as a whole
the change will be very beneficial and
the people will profit. Such result
is inevitable. The people will get
better results from senators whom
they select themselves than they could
expect from senators chosen by forces
that exploit the public for private ad-
vantage in one form or another.

whether he will re.

The article calls attention to the
fact that the last Christian sovereign
of Constantinople was a Constantine
who was slain by the Turks in 1883,
when Constantinople was captured by
them.
Also, an ancient tradition is cited
as prophesying that when "a royal
Constantine weds a royal Sophia their
son shall reign at Constantinople."
Inasmuch as the wife of Constantine
Is Sophia Of Prussia, sister of Emper-
or William Of Germany, 1t lies in the
minds Of many Greeks that the day
of restoration Of the ancient empire
and the resumption of domination of
Constantinople Is at hand.

ed they would try to work upon the
new secretary.
But it should not take Secretary
Lane long to learn the true situation.
If he gets at the heart of the matter
he will find that the objections raised
are not raised in good faith. The ar
guments advanced against the project
do not show the real reasons why the
objectors oppose the improvement
Those objections are raised to bam-
boozle not to enlighten.
There is but one possible point
where the West Extension could be
open to legitimate attack-the terms
under which private land will be re-
claimed Justification for criticism on
that point would be contingent on
faults in the contract between the
government and the private land own
ers. But since the government seems
to have the privilege of fixing the
terms Of that contract just about as
it pleases there should be little room
for trouble there. The reclamation
officials know by this time what sort
of contract they should make with
private land owners. Or at least they
q
experience.
However, the obstructionists are not
opposing the West Extension because
Of any flaws in the terms the govern
ment makes with private owners.
They began their opposition long be-
fore they knew what terms the gov
ernment would make. At heart the
opposition to the West Extension is
not sincere and is not based on any
desire to serve the general welfare of
the state. The opposition is narrow
and selfish and if Secretary Lane can
but look behind the cloak he will find
such to be the case.
Meanwhile Oregon has heavy bal
ance to its credit in the reclamation
department and would like to realize
something from the same before it is
too late.
