Wilson administration. in certain re
spects entirely non-politlcal, is to be
In part like the Hayes administration
Neither President Wilson nor Mrs
Wilson, nor the daughters, for that
matter seem to care very much for
the extreme form OF entertaining
which is exceedingly popular in the
city of Washington Washington so.
ciety outside Of the White House al.
ways exceeds the presidents efforts
In "colorful and advanced entertain
ments but while outside society does
this it generally knows how to keep
itself from overstepplng the line of
extravaganza in form and in func-
ton.
It is probable that the Wilson's en-
deavors ito keep entertaining sane"
will be followed in the diplomatic, the
congressional, the army and navy and
the residential society circles. These
win 60 beyond the White House. but
they probably win tone the nature Of
their entertainments to be at least In
comparative keeping with the form Of
those which are givenan the executive
mansion.
Where was no wine served at the
table Of President and Mrs. Hayes
except, II is said. on the occasions
when the diplomats were entertained
The foreigners In Washington would
look upon dinner party without wine
as Seotchman would look upon
breakfast without oatmeal. The truth
is foreign diplomat does not seem
TO be able to enjoy dinner unless he
has little light wine to wash It
down. It is understood that the VIII
sons will not have wine at the table
on ordinary occasions. 1t is probable
that they will forego this rule when
they entertain the Austrians. the Ger
mans, the French and the rest Of the
foreigners. and also at the greater
state affairs.
Has Time to Work and Sleep.
President Wilson has been shatter-
ing precedents from the moment that
he entered the White House. His first
order that all offlce-seelxers consult
cabinet officers and should not come
10 him, except on one visit, created
good deal OF a sensation, but the presi-
dent It is said, knew what he was do
ing. He may have offended some Of
fce-seekers and some senators and
representatives, but the order enabled
bin to save hours day for the con
sideration OF public business which
has nothing to do with Office seeking.
Sir. Wilson learns all about office
seekers through his cabinet officers
and he is able to pass upon their quail
ificatioas. It is held, just az well as IL
the applications had been made to
him direct. The president has not
been able to get his nine hours sleep
which he said was necessary, but he
has been getting in seven and half
and eight hours and he probably could
not have done this If he had attempt
ed to consider the claims of each man
who wanted a job, and to do it in add
ton to the other work Of his office.
Washington is wondering If Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan
have come to some kind of an under
standing about the plank Of the Demo
cratic platform which declares in ia
vor of the principle Of single presi-
dental term. Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
BRYAN thus far are seemingly in en-
tire accord and there does not seem to
be any reason to fear that they are
going to fall out. No one here ap-
parently expects the president to say
anything definite about the one term
matter until he has been in office for
a long time. and there is no belief
that Mr. Wilson is going to try to
force this issue.
Democrats Getting Places.
There are only a few seekers after
Office left in Washington. Perhaps 1t
is not accurate to say that there are
only few left, because there are
good many here. but there are only
few in comparison to the multitude
which was pressing in and about the
White House at the time Mr. Wilson
issued his order to put up the bars
against the job hunters Scores Of
Republicans already have been super
seeded in office by Democrats and be-
fore long more will have been re-
placed. 1t does not follow that, be-
carse Mr.. Wilson does not wish to see
the office-seekers personally, he is not
going to make appointments. He will
fill every vacant place and presum-
ably in nearly every case will fill it
with Democrat
1t is certain. the Democratic leaders
say, that when the new congress
meets. Mr.. Wilson viii do what 1t was
prophesied some time ago that he
was to do--use his personal influence
in what he considers a proper way to
induce the national legislators to
make good the promises Of the
party platform. Not since he
first said some time ago that
no intended to go to the cap
itol occasionally to get in touch
With legislation has Mr. Wilson re-
