Roosevelt Wish Obeved.

WHEN you hear President Roose-
wlt's voice simulated over the
radio, you can rest assured that the
White House has given consent. But
you probably won't hear him in MINI
icry as often as you will hear him in
person.
Ever since the early days Of the
Roosevelt administration, when the
March of Time" produced an actor
whose voice can initiate the Presi-
dents almost exactly, the White House
has frowned upon the practice. It
asked the producers Of the program to
cease and desist, and they did, al
though there is nothing in the law
which forbids it.
When professional mimic at
tempted to initiate the Presidents mi
crophone voice over local station
in New York last week, he was imme-
diately cut off. The station explained
that the taboo was self-imposed "be-
cause too many in the unseen audi
ence might think it was actually Mr..
Roosevelt at the microphone It ex-
planned further that many radio anna
teurs offer themselves as imitators or
burlesquers of the President, and are
always refused.
Shortly after Bill Adams of the
March OF Time" staff began taking
excerpts from presidential pronounce
ments and speaking them in a voice
almost exactly like the Presidents, S,
the White House requested that this
be done no more without specific per-
mission. The permission has been
granted on several occasions.

HEROES

A literary review reports that in past months
there has been great decline in the public de-
mand for "debunling" biographies and books Of
the sort lconocasm once the ladder by which as
piring writer's climbed to the literary heights, is
now passe with NAH jong and Clara Bow.
1t was to be expected. For short while the
reading public enjoyed seeing pedestas topple
and the images Of great men trampled in the dust.
They We're awed at the boldness of the staggering
hteratus who flung his m11rky ink at the helpless
dead. But there certain to be a revulsion of
feeling.
The trouble With the iconoclasts was that they
shattered our heroes and gave us nothing what
ever with which to replace them The world needs
heroes, whether not their reputation is de-
served In most there is dim, inchoate ideal
ism, CROPPING hunger for perfection, yearning
that finds expression in reverence for those who
have made history and bulded empires
And when a respected man walks with feet of
clay through modern novel. the average reader
is not really happy. The splendor in which he has
mentally clothed that figure may be the stuff of
illusion, but illusion itself is harmless enough 1t
can be as pleasant the play of sunlight on run
ming Watef-or laughter in the eyes of a child.

REvITALIZING THE LEGISLATURE

REVITALIZING THE LEGISLATURE
With all this discussion arising as to who will
run for president in 1910, perhaps the year 1887
isn't too early to begin thinking about some of our
other political problems, even though it is plea
SAINT to have as long lull possible between our
political campaigns.
One phase of our state government which we
believe could we'll be revitalized is the legislature
Each session during the past decade or so has
seemed to approach nearer to the likeness OF a
madhouse, and it is about time that something
done to- bring order out of the existing chaos
Reapportionment of the state for legislative
purposes has often been mentioned, but has never
developed beyond the documentary stages. Under
existing conditions, King county and the populous
centers of the state control large aorty of the
votes in both the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives, which may be fair the basis of rep
resentation by population but far from fair on
the basis of representation by geographical units.
We believe that it would be in the best interests
of all parts of the state, and all citizens of the
state, to adopt the federal system for our legis-
lature-that is, election of one senator from each
county, with apportionment in the house of rep
resentatives based on population.
Such a system would leave the house as it is
constituted today, with the metropolitan centers
having the bulk of the representation and the
thinly populated sections with two representa-
tives for each two to four counties.
In the senate, however, each county would have
representative each, thus giving a vote to
many counties which are not now represented in
either body.
Such a system would provide better balance
for our state government and would eliminate
much of the injustice of the present system of
representation.

BACHELOR CAMPAIGNERS

TODAY'S accepted view of the
L way to ballyhoo the voter is,
broadly speaking, to tell him first
one of two things-either the candi-
date recommended was reared on
the farm or he has sold newspa-
pers.
When this has been established
the campaign manager next
begins to issue a swelling stream
of pictures, mostly of the candidate
in the bosom of his family. The
larger the family, so much better
the results, is the political rea-
soning.
With this in mind it is interest
ing to reflect that two of the 81
Presidents challenged the accept
ed political belief that it couldn't
be DONE" and campaigned for
the office successfully while unmar-
ried. They were James Buchanan,
and Grover Cleveland.
Cleveland, after little more than
a year in the White House, mar
ried Frances Folsom there on
June 2, 1886. Buchanan remained
unmarried and was, therefore, the
only bachelor President.
Most of our Presidents have per-
formed nobly in lifting the aver
age size of White House families.
Theodore Roosevelt customarily
is regarded as pioneer among
advocates of large families. The
fact is that T. r. was something of
a piker in this respect when his
record is compared with that of
his predecessors.
The Republican Roosevelt mar
ried twice, with one child from
the first union and five from the
second. But John Tyler, also twice
married, was father to three sons
and four daughters by his first wife
and to five sons and two daughters
by the second.
Tyler may have taken his cue
from William H. Harrison, preced-
ing White House resident, who
sired six sons and four daughters.
Six Presidents, including the
immortal George Washington, were
childless. But Rutherford B. Hayes
with eight, and Thomas Jefferson
and Zachary Taylor, with six chill
dren apiece, helped raise the av-
erage.
Youngest to marry was An

eighteen on May S, 1927 when he
we'd Eliza McCardie the woman
