FRONT DOOR GUARD
One Of the Most Coveted Posi-
tions at Capital.
Post at White House Greatly Desired
by Members Of the Police Force
Men Of Rare Qualities Are Re
quired for the Service.

To be ION the front door" of the
executive Offices at the White House
Is the most coveted police assignment.
II is much of "fxeo post" and the
men on the post hold Il down, year In
and year out, whoever may be presi
dent. So their less favored associates
on the force may feel envious, but
opportunities to supersede the incum-
bents are Happenings Of once In de-
cade.
The front door is guarded during
the day by two privates and a ser
geant. The sergeant comes on duty
early in the morning and remains un-

of the day by the man who must stay
until after dark
The sergeant has been stationed at
the White House for over fifteen
years. One of the privates got his
assignment eleven years ago. and his
companion has had the post for eight
years.
They were chosen for special quail
ifications. They stay because they
have made good" Tactfulness. gra-
ciousness, ess-characteristics
which are not expected of the average
policeman engaged in quieting down
disorderly persons-and also a wide
familiarity with the faces and names
of public men are required of the men
on the front door.
Sergt. c. L. Dalrymple-he ranks
as desk sergeant-is remarkable for
the number of men he knows by sight
and name. He has a most retentive
memory. His brand of courtesy is
Chesterfeldian; he is anxious to sat
isfy every inquiry, give every aid to
the visitor to accomplish the end he
seeks, and goes out of his way to
please and accommodate.
The executive offices are sometimes

violence with which he meets the sit

The person who insists on seeing
some one who is not to be seen is al

their persistence wears out and they
are ready to move on. Where insist

the disturber is coaxed to the door on
some sufficient pretext and persuaded
to go about his business. The crank
is treated in much the same way, but
is gotten quietly into the custody of
the policemen stationed about the
grounds, who disposes of the case in
the orthodox way.
Sergt. Dalrymple-he was a mere
high private in those days-was as
signed to the White House in 1898.
when Mckinley was president. He
performed duty on the outside around
the White House grounds, for three
years before he was called inside, in
1901. Two years after that, in 1903,
he was put on the front door," and
has stayed put ever since.

Washington, March 4.-With the
adjournment Of congress, the end is
written to two years Of epoch-making
struggle within party ranks; and to
three sessions of effort, only partially
successful, to adjust the differences be-
tween democratic house, senate I'M
de democratic progressive control, and
republican president.
Many important pieces of legislation
have been enacted within that time;
Investigations of peculiar significance
to the public have been conducted;
and many subjects of general interest
have been laid aside without action.
The tariff, attacked alike from demo-
cratic and republican sources, twice
during that period, has been the SUBJ
ject of attempted revision, but none Of
the proposed changes became effective.
The sixty.second congress opened in
1911 with a special session called ~
President Taft to consider Canadian
reciprocity; it ends with an extra ses'
sion of the 3rd congress only few
weeks away, to be called by President
Wilson for a general revision of the
Payne.Aldrich tariff law. National
conventions, the birth of new party,
a general election, and complete
change Of administration have inter.
vened between it's beginning and its
end. Activities of the short session
now closing have been limited almost
entirely to routine work, because of
the determination to leave to the new
administration all of the important
subjects of a general character.
Perhaps the most important devel-
opments of the entire congress are The
following:
New federal bureau of labor created
with cabinet officer at its head.
Physical valuation of the property
Of railroads and other common car
riers ordered to form basis for rate
making.
Canadian reciprocity law passed but
rejected by Canada.
Wool, cotton, metal and free list
tariff bills passed, but vetoed by Presi.
dent Taft.
Constitutional amendment for popu
lar election Of senators submitted 70
the states.
Shipment Of liquor into prohibition
states forbidden by law.
Arbitration treaties with Great Brit
ain and France negotiated, but failed
Of ratification because of changes
made by the senate.
Termination of the treaty Of 1882
with Russia demanded by congress.
Notice served on the world by the
senate, that the United States will no,
permit foreign nations to secure mill
tary or naval footholds where they
might threaten safety to this country
Children's bureau created in depar.
ment of commerce and labor.
Panama canal law passed, establish
ing free passage for American coast
wise ships, and barring railroad own
ed vessels from the canal.
Campaign publicity law passed, re
curing a complete public accounting
Of all campaign funds.
William Lorimer declared not en-.
titled to seat as senator from Illinois
Judge Robert W. Archibald of com
merce court impeached and convicted
on charges of judicial misconduct.
Money trust investigation conducted
disclosing detailed methods of pres
ent-day financial operation.
Campaign expenditures investigated
covering campaign funds of 1904, 1901
and 1912; and disclosing correspond
ence between John D. Archbold of tn,
Standard Oil company and member

Of congress.
Investigation made Of formation aud
operation of the United States Steel
corporation.
These comprise but a few Of the
laws passed, Investigations conducted,
treaties passed on, and legislative sub
jccts conidered during the two years
of the 62nd congress. The two gsea:
personal struggles, involving William
Lorimer and Judge Archibald, ran
throughout the congress: and VITA
their interesting personal phases help
ell to draw attention from the actual
legislative work of the two years.
While congress passed an eight.
hour law covering all government
contracts except on the Panama canal,
it took no action on three importan.
subjects: anti-injunction, workmea 3
compensation, and antitrust legisla-
ton. Recomme were made
by senate committee within the las.
week, for radical changes in the anti
trust law, to restore competitive con-
litjons and prevent, monopoly; and
rhey may Gear fruit in legislation un-
der .ae new administration.
The final session, now ending, has
witnessed a struggle in the senate d.
tween republicans and democrats, that
prevented the confirmation of the
greater part of President Taft's ap-
pointments: With more than 1900
appointments before the senate, demo-
Gratis declined 10 permit action On the
great majority, and the result will be
that President Wilson will fill the
places after he comes into Office.
This fractional struggle, coupled
with the internal democratic contest
for the organization and control OF
senate and house under the new ad-
ADMINISTRATION, injected the political
equation into the last sessions work
,, to an unusual degree. Several bills
that might have become law in the
closing days Of the session nave been
held back because democratic LADDERS
preferred to have the subjects carried
over until democratic president, sen.
ate and house can have an opportunity
to carry out definite legislative pro.
grams.
Important actions in the short SEES.
sion just closing include:
"Literacy test'' immigration bill
passed but vetoed by President Taft.
| Single six-year presidential term
amendments passed by senate.
Life prisoners in federal prisons
made eligible to parole.
Five-year closed season for fur seals
incorporated in the international seal

Federal control Of water powers de-
feated in the senate.
Manufacturers Of foods required tc
