Has Held Bible for Nine Presidents TO Kiss

Continued from Third Page
Supreme Court-and he has been in the
employ of that tribunal for fiftyfive
years-Mr. Mckenney was often called
upon to deliver the Bible kissed by the
Presidents at the White House.
The first Bible he ever delivered in this
manner was the one used by President
Rutherford Is. Hayes. When he called al
the Executive Mansion and presented
the Bible. Mrs. Hayes requested him To
read the passage which her husband had
kissed.
1t was the twelfth verse of the 1lsth
Psalm:
They compassed me about like hoes: they are
Gucnchrd AS the fire of thorns; for i'll the name
OF the Lord will destroy them.
oh but my husband wouldn't hurt
anybody Mrs. Hayes exclaimed.
Mr. McKenney held the book for a
President to kiss for the first time when
Garfield was inaugurated AS the man
who was destined to become the second
of the nations martyred Presidents
brushed the page with his lips. Mcken-
ney then a tall young man. marked the
passage.
This duty has fallen TO him since that
time. Through the years which brought
to the White House, successfully. Presi-
dents Arthur, Cleveland. Harrison, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft, McKenney
handed them the Bibles which they
kissed marked the place and afterward
presented the books to the White House
ladies.
So, today the strong young man who
held the Bible for Garfield is the bow ed
old gentleman who will hold the book for
Woodrow Wilson.
Chief Justices have come ard gone
Royei. =. Taney. Salmon p. Chase Nor
rison +. Waite and Melville w. Fuller
came and went before Douglas Edward
Woodrow Wilson became head of the Su-
preme bench But James II. Mckenney
is still there
He is an institution. and not mere
clerk. when a President is to be sworn in,
and his record of the Bible verses kissed
by the Presidents are an interesting com
mentary upon inaugurations past and
gone.
The record kept by him shows that only
once has n verse kissed 10y II President
fallen in the New Testament. and that
WAS the one kissed by Roosevelt.
Mr. McNennc: has also kept account
of the passages kissed by all Presidents
since the second inaug ion of Gen.
Grant.

On the east wall of the Vice President 5
room hangs the Peale portrait of Wash
inston. said by friends of the first Presi-
dent to be the most striking likeness ever
painted of him. Peale made his pa hitting
at Valley Forge. as miniature. and then
copied it onto the canvas, where it is now
preserved.
Altogether the Vice President lives amid
pleasant surroundings. honored on every
hand. deferred to by every one. with little
hard work and few of tho heavy burdens
of responsibility OF high office. He has
the opportunity to engage to an important
extent in the general councils OF his party.

over the smaller house of the American
Congress.
That is going TO be his chief job from
now on. Even there. however, he Is not
indispensable nor is ii necessary that he
should have complete knowledge OF all
Senate affairs. A battery of clerks and
assistant secretaries in front Of him will
he ready to prompt him at eve&y angle of
Senate business, and in case ne wants to
leave the duties of his office for a while
the Senate will select one OF its own
members to take his place and things
will run along as smoothly as ever
The Vice President is admittedly a
fifth wheel i'm the scheme of American
government. His chief dbt" is to he in
training 10 step into the presidency If
anything should happen to the chief eX-
ecutive. He has no hand in the ordinary
running of the nation, however. and is
usually less fitted to take over the rcins
of government than would be the Sec
retary of State or some other cabinet
officer who might have been in the daily
council OF the President.
Only two real jobs deNoive upon the
