TARIFF
{. ON LINCOLN EXHIBIT
Congressman Ben Johnson
Favors Letting Public See
0Idroyd Collection Gratis.

A quaint little drama, entitled
"Where Lincoln Died: or. Sightseers
Shall Not Pay a Cent to See the
Shrine" was enacted In the House
Saturday.
Ben Johnson. of Kentucky, who
represents the district in which Lin
coin was born, was the "heavy" OF
the sketch. Congressman Good
Wood. and Caldwell furnished the
supporting cast.
During debate on the sundry civil
bill in the House, an item of $500
"for painting and miscellaneous re-
pairs at the building where Lincoln
died." attracted the sharp eye OF
Congressman Johnson, and he asked
a bill OF particulars from Mr.. Good,
chairman OF the Appropriations Com
mittee.
The latter stated that the Govern
ment owned the building, but per.
mitted the housing of the Oldroyd
collection OF Lincolniana in It, allow
ing the owner to charge a fee OF 25
cents for visitors, and also giving
him a nominal sum yearly for re-
pairs. He thought the government
should buy the Oldroyd collection.
at seems to me that people from
over the country. who wish to go TO
that house out of a spirit of rever-
ence," replied Mr.. Johnson, should
be permitted to do so without paying
a fee. and i sincerely trust that in
the next bill provision will be made
by which the public will be relieved
from the payment OF fee from 60
ing into this house. No spirit OF
commercialism should enter into that
transaction"
Enter Congressman Blanton. like q
real villain. who made a point OF or
der against the item.
81 think we ought to take steps
to separate this matter from the
commercial side of it," said Blanton
land not let this man stay down
there day and night, and turn this
Government building over to him rent
free, and permit him even to sleer
there and maintain his family there
and charge every person that comes
in there to see hik private collection
However, the House decided to lei
Mr.. Oldroyd continue housing his col
lection. and living in the little red
brick structure on Tenth street-for
the present at least.

CAPITAL WAY STATION
FOR BIRDS AND AUTOS
Feathered Fliers and Tourists Stop
Here to Enjoy Greenery and
Weather.

Birds and motorists are on their
northern migration.
Washington is the halfway stop.
Regularly as the spring and fall
equinox the trail of the automobile
tourist turns through the Capital city.
following the route that the little
passengers Of the air have made ia
miliar for centuries in their ADJUST
ment to the seasons.
The birds are attracted by the
trees and shrubbery which make the
city beautiful and the hospitality
which is extended in the way OF
crumbs and seeds around many homes
OF bird-lovers.
Dust-covered motorists stop here for
hotel accommodations and to call on
their home Congressman and drive
around the Capital before returning
to the summer humdrum UP North.
Washington is one of the principal
routes from North to South. and the
highway from Richmond into the city
Is dotted every day with Northern
cars bearing Florida license tags and
loaded down with camping parapher-
MALTA.
Nearly everybody camps on the
road to apd from Florida Some carry
camp traiiers. but most Of them have
bundles of blankets and camp uten-
sils and cook their meals and sleep
by the roadside or in empty houses.
In Washington, they usually stop
at a hotel and send the car to a
garage to be cleaned and overhauled
before completing the journey over
improved roads and through more
populous and familiar territory.
Next fall. the tide will set In the
other direction, but Washington Is
always the half way station, both for
the motorists and the birds.
