Washington. July o. [Special.] -
When congress remained in session
ong time during the administration of
President Cleveland that executive
would HE himself to Buzzard's Bay
Ind enjoy an outing. Few presidents
have publicly shown so much contempt
FOR congress as Cleveland. Congress
men bored him. He disliled their
continual quest for places This APP
piled particularly to senator's During
his last term Cleveland had serious
ruptures with the large majority Of his
own party, and consequently his man
ner became more distant.
President Wilson will make trips to
his summer home no doubt, but he will
not remain long away while congress
Is working on the tariff and currency
bills. He has promised to stay with
them and help them, and be meant
lust what he said. The president has
methods Of recreation; he plays little
golf; he can 60 out sailing on the May
flower or take trips through the coun-
try In an automobile with congeniai
companions and thus while away the
hot summer days and evenings.
The Ants Active.
The anti-suffragi sts say they are go
ing to make an active campaign here
after and meet the suffragists at ev-
cry point, more particularly as regards
the effort to put through a constitu-
tional amendment giving women the
ballot, The apparent Indifference Of
the women who do not want the ballot,
as shown up to the present time, has
led many congressman to accept what
they believed to be the inevitable and
support the proposed amendment.
Men IN congress hesitate to vote con
trary to an active, persistent element
among the women, believing that OPP
position to those women will cost them
votes in the future. On that account
suffrage has made large gains. in con-
gress.
Will Not Scramble.
Senator Gallinger takes q very dig
nifed position in regard to the New
Hampshire senatorship His term will
expire in 1915, and the election will
occur next year He has been elected
four. times, the first after quite Q con
test, the three subsequent times with
out any effort on his, part and by the
unanimous vote Of the Republicans in
the legislature And after twenty four
years service in the senate he is not
going into d rough and tumble fight for
another election II he is chosen by
his party he would feel proud Of the
honor, but. he cannot see how he will
be honored if he enters a general
scramble for the position.
Forestry Extensions.
IN the course Of time there will be
forestry reservations in all the states,
according to the land purchases that
are being made from time to time.
These reservations win be national
parks and no doubt popular in the
states. That win insure more support
for the forestry service and conserva-
ton methods which are carried on un-
der forestry auspices.
Reconciliation Work.
Some Of the old time Republicans as.
sert that Jim Mann as minority leader
Is doing his share toward reconciling
the factions Of the Republican, party
He made no distinction between regu
lars and near insurgents when he made
up the Republican membership Of com
mittees. Many good. committee places
fell to men Who-odid not support the
regular organization during the last
days of Speaker Cannon and the first
term of Mann as minority leader
Mann was particularly kind to Mime
