upon the government since the founda-

more simple, then, than that a COM
posite people should go in for COM
posite architecture to express them
selves in marble, stone. and brick:
Acting on this principle let our ar
chitecture express the Glory that was
Greece, the Grandeur that was Rome,
the Utility that was England, the Econ
omy that was Scotch. the Espieglerie
that was France. the Simplicity that
was Dutch, and the Efficiency that was
Germany, not TO mention the Philan-
dery that was Constantinople. The

fullness about the caves, relieved with
touch OF Hebridean French Renais-
sance manifested in the roccoco quality
OF the pergola effect at the front. the
whole building welded into a less in
choate mass by very pronounced
feeling of Georgian decadence, empha-
sized with a gambrel roof, and the
facade decorated with famboyant
Dutch fire escapes, bringing irresistibly
to mind the predominance i'll all Amer

shown in Our tendency to gables sup

building of that kind could be made

on the proposition by erecting a Pan

The Commoner: Referring to the
charge that the president has been
lobbying, the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Chicago Record Herald
says: "What President Wilson has
done has been to remind Democrats that
it il their duty to vote to carry out the
platform pledges, He regards himself
- the accredited representative Of the
voters who wanted certain things
done. Complaint has been made that
the people have no representatives in
the lobby that infests the national cap
ital; that it is the Interests which
selfishly are affected that maintain
bureaus and such for the influencing of
legislation. Perhaps President Wilson
may regard himself as the people s
lobbyist and when you come to think
of it in the light suggested by the term
last quoted, the people are not SO all
