OFFICE SEEKERS
LEAVING CAPITAL
Find Washington an Expensive
Place While Waiting for
Plum Tree to Shake.
By r. ii. MCGOWAN.

Washington, March 1S.-Every train
leaving Washington. going in a south
ernly direction. carries on it's lists of
disappointed office seekers Some OF
these came TO Washington just after
Christmas when Congress assembled:
others came to the Inauguration, and
still others have arrived since They
are going home because they have be-
come thoroughly convinced that the ma
tional capital is very expensive
place in which to live while waiting,
for the plum tree to shake.
The home goers are not from any
one State. OF from any one section of
the country, for that matter, although
1t is true that for obvious reasons more
of them are from he South than else
where.
But here Is something else the job
hunters have recently discovered.
They have become convinced that Ii
will do them no good to remain in
Washington. Once having placed their
interests in the hands of their respec-
tive Congressman, there is little else
that can now be done Secretary Bryan
will not return to his Office for some
time from his Western trip, and sew
eral of the other Cabinet members ex-
pect 10 be away more or less during
the early spring months. Added to
this is the friendly advice handed out
to the weary walters by the Congress
men that longer tarrying here would
not only be Of no avail, but in many
cases probably useless
There is much dissatisfaction among
some OF those who have been dis
appointed, but this was to be expect
ed. 1t was never contemplated By
those we'll informed that the new adj
ministration would summarily turn out
former employees and oficeholders to
make room for others, but this fact
apparently does not suit many Of those
now turning their faces homeward.
Many of them will go back to their
people with alluring stories of what
they did in the national capital while
waiting for something to turn up"
glad. no doubt. that after all they are
at home again. Many appointments
are going to be made, but not just now.
In time the plum tree will shake for
keeps, but that. will come with the
extra session of Congress-
