The Presidents Tent.

The presidential tent in the White
House grounds seems to establish prec
cdenf, So far as memory serves this is
the first time a President has camped out
under canvas in those grounds even dur
ing the DAY. Many Presidents have
sought a change from summer life in the
White House. and il may be recalled that
Fifty years ago this summer President
Lincoln was spending what is usually
called the heated term in that cottage of
the Soldiers Home officially known as
the Anderson building, but generally
known as the Lincoln cottage-a roomy
Pebble-dash building with wide verandas
Immediately west of Scott Hall. or the
main building. II was there Lincoln was
living in July, 1854 when the news of
the approach of Early and the crash of
guns in the fortifications along the north
ern line of the civil war defenses of
Washington called Lincoln to Fort Ste
vens. The situation OF the White House
and the increasing demands of business
there have several times prompted the
proposition that a national executive res
ldeuce be erected in the residence section
or the suburbs of tho capital, and such
proposal will probably at some time
prevail.

Members Of Congress deplore a sum

sons Some of them are not very
arduouslv engaged in the performance
of their legislative duties, even when
the weather is mildest or most invis-
Grating. Most men can find good eX-
cuse for getting away from their office,
especially if the pay gees on. Then,
congressmen have big interests at home.
They must keep up their personal &C
uuaintance with all the farmers and
other boys in their districts. 1t is
necessary part of the game. 1t is also
good business for a congressman to
insist that there is no place like home
that the air and water are better. the
men wiser, the corn taller and the hogs
fatter than anywhere else. and that
nothing could keep him in a distant
place like Washington excepting his
stern sense of public duty.

Converting Vera Cruz.

Reports indicate that Vera Cruz is be-
ing converted by the American ''invad-
ers- American straight dealing and
American band eoncerts-es especially the
band concertS-are said to be exercising
powerful influence for good the Next
can population. 1t has been said before
that music hath charms. etc. On the
other hand it may be considered a com
pliment to the navy and army bands that
people reputed to be so unsteady critical
as the Mexicans approve and applaud
their music. In the reported conversion
of Vera Cruz Mexicans some credit
ought TO be given to the American gold
that is being spent and will be spent in
the shops of that city. But Vera Cruzans
have not vet really felt the power of
American conversion. That is to come
later. The Star said recently:
For the present the men of the fleet
are TO be denied shore liberty. as they
will have much work to do in cleaning
their equipment and the doctors are de-
sirous that they be given a change in the
cool air of the outer harbor. When liberty
IS granted them Lieut. Alfred NJ. Cohen
of the Arkansas, an athletic officer. who
has been acting ordnance officer on
Rear Admiral Fletchers stan. hopes to
start base ball league. and will issue
suit in giving Vera Cruz a championship
series as its first introduction to the
American national sport"
Base bali will be the real converter
American music may be powerful and
tuneful, but band concert in comparison
with base ball game makes few con-
verts. Let the Vera Cruzans become in
oculated with the base bali bug or the
base bal virus and there will be no room
in their systems for thoughts of revolu-
ton and pilage. They will look on the
gringos as their brother fans
Some pessimist may argue that the
Mexican is so attached TO the sanguinary
sports of bull lighting and cock fighting
that he may be immune to the charms
of base ball This theory is negatived
by experience in Cuba and the Philip
pines. In those lands traditional Spanish
sports held the affection OF the people
But wherever base ball has been brought
into direct competition with the redder
and brutal sports bull fighting and cock
fighting have declined and base ball has
gained until row in Cuba and the Philip
pines base ball clubs and base ball
leagues are making hits and runs
throughout those lands Base ball as a
sport is a conqueror and as a cvilizer II
is a converter.
