BY EDWARD 3. CLARK

10 pOpuldI anu pl0uIlIttI III our pFOlluC
midst. Theodore Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, is notable adj
dition.
President Ulysses S. Grant has lent a
distinguished addition to the coterie of
Presidents children and grandchildren
now citizens of the capital, in the res
idence here of Prince and Princess
Cantacuzene, of Russia. The princess,
the former Julia Grant, here as a
child, became more popular with her
lectures, magazine articles and work
in the interest of the Russian suf-
ferers.
In the group with Grants distin-
guished granddaughter are Robert
Todd Lincoln, son of the first mar
tyred President, and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the former Princess Alice.
Mrs. Rosa Gouverneur Hoes, great
granddaughter of President James
Monroe, with relationship to several
other Presidents, is an expert in col
lecting costumes for the Presidential
display in the national museums from
Martha Washington to Florence King
Harding.
Engaged in Law. Practice.
Thomas Watt Gregory, Wilson's at
torney general from Texas, has law
office in Washington, as has A. Mitch
ell Palmer, his successor in office. The
whole Of Mr.. Wilson's three sec
retaries of state are iii a receptive
mood for briefs William Jennings
Bryan is prepared fully to practice be-
fore the District courts.
Two former Presidents are settled
down here for the rest Of their nat
ural lives. Or. Woodrow Wilson has
hung out his single, as a pledge that
he means to stick to law. Joe Tumul-
ty has announced his Washington in
tentions legally and locally. William
Howard Taft, chief justice of the Unit
ed States, surely is fixed for life.
Another secretary of state, Balm
bridge Colby, junior member of the
legal firm Of Wilson & Colby, is fixed
fast in this fair city. Robert Lansing,
busy in the practice of law the year
before he hooked III with DR.. Wilson
as secretary of state, is now in part
nership here with Lester FL. Woolsey.
OF "Learned Profession"
BY authority of the United States
government, it has been decided that
a newspaper man is member of a
learned profession
The decision will bring deep relief
to many persons in and out of the
'sgame." For long there has been con-
fusion on this vital question. Some
newspaper men have described them
selves as Journalists which has
moved others to define journalist as
a newspaper man out of job. Others
have frankly aligned themselves with
labor, accepting the benefits and the
depriyations of such alliance with ap-
parent equanimity.
Demand for Pure-Bred Horses.
That the horse is more than hold
ing his own in spite of the increased
use of motor vehicles is the surprising
condition revealed by the census bu-
reau figures, just issued, which show
that there is one horse for every house
in the United States while, only one
family in four can hope to have an
automobile.
The horse census shows total of
21,84S,066 horses in the country, Iowa
leading all other states with total
of 1885, 22; with Illinois a close Sec
ond, Kansas third, then Texas, Ne
braska, Minnesota and Missouri. Only
six in every thousand horses, however,
are pure-bred
The government is giving practical
assistance to farmers and breeders in
improving the breed of American
horses, through the remount service
Of the army, which last year supplied
the use of 12O highly bred stations
purchased at cost of $4,000, by
congressional appropriation. The num-
Der was further augmented through.
the donation of 50 pure-bred stations,
valued conservatiyely at $250,00O, by
members of the American Remount as
ISOLATION.
'While the number Of horses in the
country at present is sufficient and our
draft stock unsurpassed, there is
woeful shortage of good horses" said
A. A. Cederwald, secretary Of the as
sociation here recently. "This is evil
dent from the demand and the prices
at which the best sell, while the in
ferior ones cannot be sold for what it
has cost to raise them.
"This is the age of efficiency in
everything, and this applies as strong
ly to the horse as to anything else.
The demand is for the horse that can
do the job efficiently and economically,
pulling heavy load or working I'M
der the saddle. If one is breeding
draft horses, he should produce the
best draft horses possible, and if
breeding riding horses, ne should pro-
duce the best riding horses possible"
Market for Draft Type Horse.
Leading horse breeders assert that
every farmer, whether he is raising
horses or not, should be booster for
horses. Every time horse is replaced
by truck or tractor, they say, not
only is the market for another horse
