White House.
Today the White House is visit
ed by more than 1000 persons
every day. More historical
events have centered around this
building than any in the world
during the last century Twenty
eight Presidents and their fami-
lies have lived in it and two have
died within its walls. Lincoln
went from its red room to his as
sassination at Ford Theatre;
Garfield was carried unconscious
to its shelter, where he fingered
in pain for some time efore he
was removed to ,Elbelon. The
greatest statesman of the world
have assembled here to discuss
the deStinies of nations. Its
magnificent ballroom has been
the scene of functions whose
splendor has rivaled those of the
most sumptuous of European
courts. Here the chief executive
conducts his business.
To maintain the White House
requires over. $3.50, GOO a year,
including horses and vehicles,
ETC., $35, 600; fuel, 5000; light
ing, $4,000. Today the White
House has been enlarged to ac-
commodate the growing official
family of the Presidents.

The White House

One hundred years ago the
Presidents palace, " at Wash
ington was Quilted by fire. 1t
was at the time of the war of
1872. In the Pickering light of
burning Washington, the scarlet
coated figures of the incendiaries,
the soldiers of the British King,
We're to be seen rioting in the
streets of the city they had cap
tured after President Madison
and his Cabinet and most of the
citizens had fled at theirapproach.
In the general fight, Dolly Madi-
son. the Presidents wife, linger-
ed long enough to cut George
Washington's portrait from the
frame and carry it off to safety.
tits related that the Presidents
dinner was still steaming on the
table when the British burst in
to the palace, : as it was then
called. In the light cast by the
burning capitol, the treasury
building, the arsenal and one
thousand volumes contained in
the congressional library, the
troopers rush ed to the palace. "
Some seized flaming brands from
a burning saloon and thrust
them into the draperies of the
Presidents house. Mirrors,
furniture and bric-a-brac were
smashed, while the flames burned
until they had Quilted the interior
and scorched the exterior. When
the palace" was repaired the
fire marks were obiterated on the
outside with white paint. This,
it is said is the way in which the

A Cautious Owner

A Pennsylvania farmer was
the owner of a good Attorney
COW. A stranger, having admir-
ed the animal, asked the farmer;
What will you take for your
cow"
The farmer scratched his head

Look a-here, be you the tax as

the railroad?"- The Argonaut.

The South's Trouble Mostly Scare

The planners plan, and the
spieIers spiel, and already there
is in prospect a probability of
more than one row over who is
the true father Of various
schemes designed to snatch the
cotton farmer from the Jaws of
bankruptcy. Naturally a man
who is interested in saving the
farmer and in nothing else, is
not going to be worried over who
gets the credit for any scheme. so
the scheme works. But if a man
has planned a plan incidentally
to aid the farmers but primarily
to get for himself a strong pull
with that large element of the
population, then when some
other planner comes along max
ing motions as if he were intend
ing to steal that plan then is the
time to stand tip-toe and stuff
cotton in your ears, for there is
going to be some Slight concus-
sion noticeable.
The only cheerful element in
the situation is the attitude of
the farmers. The aver age farm
er appears to be stoutll opposed
to being saved by anybody's
plan, for the very good reason
that he has not as yet been con-
WINGED that he is lost. Mill men,
merchants, bankers. editors and
politicians are working overtime
in their frantic effort to rescue
the perishing tilIer of the soil,
when as a matter of fact he of
the horny hand is on the average
in better position than other bu-
5iness men. The farmer doesn't
have to settle up until November
in any case, and the chances are
strongly in favor of the presence
IN the market of the English
spinner by that time. In the
meantime he is going about his
business as usual and, if reports
are to be trusted, hanging to his
cotton with the matter-of fact
persistence of a bull pup to a
.errier's throat.
1t is quite true that some
hing may happen to the south
yet. But so far the south has
lot been hurt in the least. 1t is
Only scared stiff. The difference
between being paralyzed by %
leavy blow and being merely
igid with fright may not be APP
'arent at the moment but once
he true situation is realized the
after disappears. We believe
hat the south is becoming more
rmly convinced every day that
er trouble is SO per cent scare.

CAN'T STAND STILL.

The issue of determining tonight within the business mems member ship in the League whether there shall be consolidation of the two commercial bodies with a view of taking on renewed energy for the work ahead of Hot Springs, is one that ought to be enthusiastically met by the business men.
 To stay at home win not be an swering the question.
 The situation is one that deserves the influence of every business man of Hot Springs.
 1t is not so important what your opinion is in the matter, as that you have an opinion and give expression to that opinion.
 Understand fully that an appeal has been made to you, business men of Hot Springs, from an organization of 500 men, asking you to cooperate al least with your interest, in the matter of consolidating the conner cial bodies.
 You may not agree with that pro posal, but if you don't, come out and say so, and say that you are going to stand behind one or the other or ganizations, or both, or neither. Say something, and do something, in the matter.
 Before we know Tt another state fair will be on us, which is entitled to the enthusiastic support of a strong commercial body. It is time now that active steps were taken to the formulating and outlining of the work Hot Springs has to lay before the state legislature.
 The work of making for a big win. ter season next year is upon us now. There are public improvements there are public policies that must be held to strict account. There is much to be done.
 The success of these various things means the success vr Hot Springs. How best to work them all out is of interest to you. ls the old way is satisfactory, say so. If the influence and the strength Of the organization that has stood behind other proposed movements is, in your opinion, all that could be secured in a consoli- dated body, well enough. But come out and express yourself.
 This meeting tonight ought to be one in which the business man feels 6 selfish interest. f is of enough importance to get a crowd, even in torrid weather like this. It ought to be a meeting where men assemble on plant of public interest only, and discuss with reason and without prejudice or personalities, just what they believe would be best. and when all have agreed, get in behind the load and push until there are accomplishments.
