the Chief Executive a glimpse of him and they
are able to take home the treasured pictures.
This procedure is easier for the President and
seems to satisfy the visitors.
AS Mr.. Akerson, secretary to the President,
recently said regarding the position of the Chief
Executive: He must be protected from the
smaller details and non-essentials, and yet he
must be accessible to all those who are particle
pating with him in the conduct of the Govern
ment."
That means that SO Senators and 435 Repre-
sentatives, the members of the legislative
branch, must be able to confer with him at any
time that they desire. fortunately, the major
ity In both houses realize the tremendous bur-
dens of the presidency and come to see the
Chief Executive only on urgent business
Some persons have come to the White House
who received an interview with the President
because Of their frankness and appeal. Not

Pri0uSe Pearl Robbery

Mrs rockingham had thought Of borrowing GA
the invested capital, but this would have re-
quired the consent of Landseer. And how could
she explain wanting $4,000 above her regular
income?
Nevertheless on the morning Of the theft at
Fontelle,s she had decided to take desperate
chance and ask Judge Landseer's approval OF
her loan.

When II got them-I intended to pawn q
few and get them back when my money came
in. I've pawned four pearls already"
'But how did you get hold of them in the

"I know said Doll.

Mrs. rockingham whispered. I'm going to

risen and laid firm hand on a dropping
shoulder. II know the way detectives behave,

pered something in her ear.
An impatient ring at the bell spelled Hector.
It was Doll who opened the door to behold
her husband, thanking the weeping Rosa on one
side while large detective guarded her on the
other. In his right hand Hec held a paper bag.

President Roosevelt In his fourth AM

ing to remember that Washington had
no compulsory school attendance law
and that careful inquiries indicate the
habitual absence from the school IT
required the President Of the United
States to be mortified TO obtain relief
for the schools. Since President Harri-
son, all of the Presidents have asked
Congress to meet the many needs Of the
District Of Columbia, yet no inquiry was
made into the reasons for the real and
actual need Of assistance. President
Arthur, In one Of his annual reports,
said:
"The report Of the Commissioners
Of the District Of Columbia Is herewith
transmitted. I ask for It's careful at
which relate to assessments, arrears Of
taxes and increase Of water supply.
The Commissioners who were appointed
under the act of June Is, 1883, entitled

their duties. The then President had
forgotten that the Commissioners Of the
District Of Columbia were not the same

Conditions Held DepIOrable.
1.-THE conditions of the District Of Co
Iumbia as they now exist, without SUI.
frage for the citizenship and without
residents in official life Is deplorable.
Lacking vote, residents for years have
been appealing to Congress to be priv
ileged to vote for President and Vice
President and for representation In the
House Of Representatives and the Sem
ate.
THE claim for national representa-
ton Is based upon the fundamental
right of a citizen Of a republic to par
ticipate in that government by and
through representatives Of his own
choosing. The idea, after all, is to re-
lieve the Nation of the embarrassment,
at heart, Of being un-Amer1can and to
undertake the lack Of ability to cure
this evil. The proposed amendment to
the Constitution empowers Congress to
give and grant unto to residents Of the

and privilege that Is given to the resi-
dent Of any of the insular or other pos
sessions. There Is nothing In the
amendment suggested that does In any

United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. Suggestions
that r-collegiate football be en-
dowed by alumni groups and gate
receipts be abolished to relieve
"overemphasis" met with unanimous
criticism today from athletic direc-
tors and educational leaders OF Big
Ten conference schools.
Although the suggestions, ad-
vanced by DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of the Columbia
university of New York, generally
we're accepted as a unique and revo-
lutionary idea, University Of Chi
cago officials pointed out that the
same plans were advocated in 1904
y DR.. William Rainey Harper, then
president of the Chicago school.
Even then, according to President
Harper, the idea was not new. DR.,
Harper, in making his 1904 athletic
report, suggested many other
changes which have since been
adopted almost universally, but his
alumni endowment and free ad-
mission proposals were rejected.
Present day Chicago officials op-
pose the endowment plan. Athletic
Director A. A. Stage sees nothing
wrong in the administration of ath-
letics in the Big Ten conference and
prefers to keep sports out of the
hands Of the alumni.
George Huff, athletic director at
the University of Illinois, called the
endowment suggestion absurd and
ridiculous.
"The proposal that athletics be
financed by means of alumni en-
dOwments is absurd" said Huff. IF
alumni have money to give they
can find plenty of places for it in
every educational institution with
out indorsing an activity which is
paying its own way.
L do not regard it as an i'm
possibility for a university to main
tain intellectuals and standards and
still gain a degree OF success in
athletics. Most Of our present trou-
BILE comes from the ambition of
