ANOTHER CENSUS

The census committee of the house of
representatives is said to favor taking
another federal census in 1925, thus
breaking the decennial precedcnts of 40
years.
1t is admitted that the last census re-
suited in widespread dissatisfaction and
dispute Very few cities were content
with the population figures credited to
them. Conditions, too. were so unsettled
that it was difficult to obtain normal data
regarding employment, valuations and
other matters.
1t is doubtful, nevertheless, whether it
is worth while to start right in so soon
and do the things all over again. There
is no telling now whether conditions in
1925 are going to be any more settled
and the statistics gathered any more
satisfactory than they were in 1920. In
all probability, cities and states would
kick and quarrel about the returns just
the same, no matter when the count or
what the result. And there is no telling
what congress would want to do in the
way of increased membership.
Surely once in a decade is often enough
to turn everything upside down and get
everybody incensed over census. Why
hasten trouble?

CORN AND WHEAT FOR RUSSIA

One of the symptoms of return to
normality is that the American people
are now plying the Russians instead of
abusing them. Leninc is still sovicting
but our people are forgetting about Lc-
nine in the contemplation of the great
tragedy represented by the starving of
many million people-human beings like
Ourselves-Over a vast area. Lenine,
with all his sins, is not responsible for
that famine. And to give the Devil his
due, his government seems to be doing
its poor best to relieve the suffering
There has been ready response on the
part of the American public to President
Harding's proposal that public funds be
used to send 100000 bushels of corn
and 100000 bushels of seed wheat to
the famine region. That is only about
half as much as was asked for by former
Gov. Goodrich of Indiana. who made a
survey of the Volga district for Secretary
Hoover. Congress surely cannot neglect
this modest request. Prompt action is
more important than the quantity given
he gives twice who gives quickly

PLANT FLOWERS

While flowers are considered the language of love, they are also the language expressing the esthetic taste of the home A vase of blos- sons reposing in the center of the table adds a charm such as no other establishment can add. They convey the tenderest emotions of the house. wife and reflect their beauty in con. sonance with the general atmosphere of the home.
 And there are the flowers of the yard and garden, all of which serve to set off the premises and reflect the desire of the householder to sur round him or herself with the things that go to make tenure on this sphere one carrying it's full meas ure of joy and contentment. The humblest home may be transforme ed into a bower of beauty and clothed in a mystic charm by the addition of a flower bed, hop vine over the porch or arching the walk serves to break the monotony of the drab street or forbidding the landscape

ding exterior. Under MT. Harding there seems to be cordial and friendly air surrounding the White House. It is as if the president had said: This place belongs to the people and l am the chief servant of the people. Enter here and be welcome" That is the general feel ing of everybody who visits Wash ington, and few visitors to the na- tional capital fail to go to the White House while they are here.
 The Washington corps of cores pondents, numbering about 300, and representing practically every daily newspaper in the United States that takes special telegraphic dispatches from Washington, are especially pleased with the change of admins tration. Under the Wilson admins tration even the correspondents were barred from the White House. They could not see the President and had to depend on Tumulty for their in- formation. It often became iinpos- sible at times to even see Tumulty.
 Under the new conditions the corps of correspondents see Mr. Christian daily at 10 a. m., and it is the geu- eral opinion among the newspaper men that there has never been a bet ter private secretary to any presi- dent ill many years The newspaper men see the president himself on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Mir Hard ing at these conferences is always willing to answer questions and give information concerning the cabinet meetings, which are held on these days, or on any other subject the newspapers require information upon. Not all of the information given by the president at these conferences can be printed. MT. Harding states what can be used in the press and suggests what should be kept confi- dential until he is ready to announce such news. These condolences are never violated. Such is the impress sion already made on the correspond ents by the new president that all are ready to swear by him, and it is fact that every correspondent al ready feels that he is MT. Harding's real friend, and MT. Harding is his friend
 The atmosphere of the cabinet has also undergone a great change. The cabinet officers in this administra- tion see the correspondents regular ly and are always willing to give out information that the newspapers de- sire The Wilson cabineteers seemed to care nothing for public opinion. Consequently they had few friends among the Washington writers.
 This was one of the causes of the failure of the Wilson administration.

A NEW WHITE HOUSE

There is now a new White House It is the same old building on historic Pennsylvania Avenue that has housed our presidents for many years, but the atmosphere is totally different
 For the past eightyears, under the Wilson administration, the White House was practically barred to visit OTIS. When Mr. Wilson first became president he threw the White House open to the public and any citizens could always go there and get a hear ing. It was an easy matter to see the president then. But soon this was changed. MT. Wilson started out to see the Washington correspondents regularly, but this custom was after a time discontinued. Everybody had to see Mr. Tumulty. Consequently MT. Tumulty soon acquired an import ance out of all proportion to his posi- tion. He became a sort of unofficial president, with practically all the power of the real president in his hands. When the war began the White House grounds were closed to everybody. Military and police guard ed the big white mansion and it's large grounds so closely that a rab- bit could not have gained access to the White House undetected. The whole block bounding the White House was practically forbidden to the public. After the armistice and the Paris conference Mr. Wilson fell sick. Though the war had end ed the White House remained shroud- ed in the same seclusion as during the war. The public was still barred from the house and the grounds, and though the military guards were fin ally removed the police remained This condition prevailed right up to the day that MT. Wilson left the White House, though he had so far recovered his health that he was able to accompany MT. Harding to the Capitol on March 4, last, when the new president took office.
 All this is now changed. MT. Harding had no sooner entered upon his duties than the White House grounds were thrown open to the public. So was part of the White House itself. The humblest citizen can now come to Washington and wander at will through the magnifi- cent gardens and lawns, and even en- ter and inspect certain rooms of the house itself. Anybody that has busi- ness with MT. Harding can easily see the president by arranging an inter- view through his efficient secretary George B. Christian, Jr.
 In addition to these material changes there is change in the very atmosphere of the executive man. sion. Under MT. Wilson the building seemed to take on cold, and forbid.
