EASTER EGG ROLLING

The Easter egg rolling in the
White House Grounds is to be re-

damage done to lawns and shrubbery

for doing all toat is expe ted of them

GATES NOW OPEN WIDE
FOR VISITING PUBLIC.

The White House gates are open,
and that in itself Is symbolical OF
what may be expected under the new
regime. What the new Administration
is going to do with the tariff, how
it is going to handle the prohibition
enforcement, how far 1t is going to
cut loose from entangling alliances,
it's policy toward Russia, Mexico,
Japan, it's attitude toward labor, the
soldier question, who is to get the
latest plums, even how far the wom-
en- voters who certainly helped in the
election, are going TO share in the
spoils-all these are undoubtedly i'm
portant and interesting. but pale into
inst gnincance beside the fact that the
White House gates are open.
Any one who has been in Washing
ton for the last two years knows how
Washington-and the stranger within
her gates-has felt about those closed
gates, and the absurd, entirely dis
proportionate resentment they have
aroused. Old residents who did not
enter the White House grounds once
q year, unless by invitation, and with
the intention of also entering the
house, were as much-perhaps more
riled by those closed and guarded
gates, as the war workers or tourists
who might not pass this way again,
and felt that they had not seen
Washington when they were only al
lowed to see the White House from 81
very respectful distance and through
iron bars. 1t was not the bars them
selves, it was what they stood for
their symbolizing to the man and
woman on the street all the aloofness
that made the Wilson regime unpop-
ular. And now the White House gates
are open!
