Xew Vhito House Arrangement Made
Xoeessary by Numerous Applicants
from Congressmen Who Did Not
"Come Back" Washington Gossip.
Washington, D. C. They have
changed the Interior appointments of
the white house the internal archi
tecture, so to speak so aa to provide
a nice, comfortable substitute for the
time-honored navigation of Sart river
by politicians who didn't come back
on November 8. One of the spacious
corridors of the executive offices has
been converted into an additional
waiting room, to accommodate an as
tonishingly increased number of call
ers since the president's return from
Panama.
Some astute Individual discovered
that about 90 per cent of this dally
crowd who sought the presidential
presence were "lame ducks" seeking
some nice, soft berth to occupy after
March 4. Although this is the open
season for Jobs, so many are the
huntsmen and so keen the fervor of
the chase, that the poor hunted berths
are nearly all run to cover.
Naturally the white house is the
preserve where the game is thickest.
Energetic huntsmen frequent the
executive offices faithfully. They do
not intend to be far away when the
president lets a job loose.
And so It happens that the list of
waiting callers has been extraordi
narily augmented during these last
few weeks. A hundred or so job
hunters made a brave showing, but
they have overcrowded the spacious
reception rooms at the executive of
fices so that the patriots who have
other business at the white house than
chasing down vacancies on the gov
ernment payroll get lost in the shuf
fle. The "jobbed" ones didn't like to
rub elbows with the tentative job
less. So Secretary Charles D. Norton de
cided on the architectural arrange
ment above described, In order to
separate the sheep from the goats.
Those who call to point out to the
president their fitness for such-and-
such a job, and to recall to his mind
their varied services for the party,
are herded into the new reception
: room which is merety a corridor
screened off from the vestibule nice
ly decorated with chairs and green
palms. This new room has come to
be known definitely as "Lame Due
Alley."
Senator Thomas Carter of Mon-
tana, was-the first of the clan of the
soon-to-be-jobless to occupy the cor
ridor. Senator Depew of New York,
who will be succeeded by a democrat
was another "lame duck" among the
first to warm the leather on a chair
in the alley.
Kep. Kennedy of Ohio, who was
swirled out of place by that tidal
wave of November 8, has been almost
a daily called. Representative Cocks,
who succumbed with Stimson in New
York, has been on the Job. Many
other Injured members have been
much In evidence. i.jk
Bates Was Slandered.
But the saddest blow of all came
to Representative Arthur L. Bates,
of the 25th Pennsylvania district
"breezed" into the executive offices
the other day, still thinking grateful
ly of the 1100 majority with which the
constituents of his district had ex-
pressed their preference for him over
a democrat.
"Sorry you weren't elected, Bates,"
was the greeting he received from a
brother member.
"Yes, it was too bad," joined in an
other.
"I sympathize with you," added
third.
"But I was re-elected," replied the
astonished Pennsylvania .
"Well, all the news we've read was
that you went down," they replied.
Bates was a bit put out that his
1100 majority hadn't attracted atten
tion, but he went in to see President
Taft.
"Bates, I certainly shall miss you
next year," condoled the chief execu
tive. "It seems too bad to lose you.'
"But, I am re-elected by 1100 rmv
Jority," shouted Bates. "Every
where I go somebody sympathizes
with me. I don't wont any sympathy
want gongratulatlons."
And when Bates emerged, he serv-
ed notice on the doorkeepers that ?ie
would refuse to be seatd In "Lame
Duck Alley."
State Department Luxury.
If some young man, the son of poor
but honest parents, has the qualifi
cations for a diplomatic Job and wants
one, he probably can have It by ap
plying to Secretary of State Knox
and giving the necessary references.
Secretary Knox has no objections to
the rich. He himself can afford to
maintain a city home, a country place
and choose the livery of his coach
man to match the color of his horses.
But one must keep up appearances.
Things have come to such a pass that
the state department is rapidly de
veloping into a target for hostile crit
icism as a putocratlc institution, not
merely tinted, but smeared all over,
with affluence, like Mr. Midlas. To
balance things, it is necessary to have
a few young gentlemen who can con
sistently take up the high cost of liv
ing cry and give the touch of healthy
democracy to this executive depart
ment, which is on the verge of being
engulfed with luxury. The strain of
trying to look por Is rapidly becom
ing too great for the state department
officials to bear.
Aa things stand now not mention
ing the diplomats in the foreign ser
vice, who are kullty of being enor
mously wealthy there are a goodly
number of offenders of this charac
ter, right here at home. The secre
tary himself can afford to choose be
tween the automobile and the horse.
Assistant Secretary Wilson, when In
need of relaxation, can run over to
Thlrd Assistant Chanlor Hale is not
pinched with penury either.
But listen, how things have chang
ed even In the lower ranks.
Hugh Gibson, secretary to the as
sistant secretary, who ranks as a sec
retary of embassy on the diplomatic
list, works eighteen hours out of
twenty-four. When anything is
wanted, Gibson gets it If it is nec
essary toilo some overtime work, the
poor government clerk, who gets down
at nine o'clock, goes home, and Gib
son, who is usually on the Job at 7:30,
says and does It. When he gets twen
ty minutes off for luncheon, Gibson
rushes over to the Metropolitan club,
and bolts a wretched pheasant, or bit
of quail, and .hurried back to the
grind again.
Another recent addition to the de
partment's force is Arthur Orr, of
Evanston, who was a secretary at the
London embassy before he ' came to
Washington as assistant to the chief
of the bureau of information. Orr
tried hard to hide his Iniquity. For
months he was not even suspected ex
cept by his Russian cigarettes, which
are imported especially for him. But
the ter-r-r-ible truth came out at last
Orr, in a fit of recklessness, rented
a house next to that of Secretary
Knox, and wheeled up and down the
avenue in his limousine, within sight
of the secretary's drawing room win
dows. It ia true that most of his
wheeling was done in the early morn
ing, when he was hurrying, to work
or late at night, when he was coming
Home, but it is a large car, none the
less, and the indictment stands. Both
Orr and Gibson, when they have any
ieisure, which Is seldom, walk up th
street like anybody else, but all thi
is a mere sham intended to deceive
the public. Huntington Wilson ha
even been known to ride in an ordl
nary taxicab.
So there you are. This Is the prob
lem that Secretary Knox has on his
hands. There are openings for the
poor young man, but the poor young
man will not avail himself of the op
portunities. He fights shy of a diplo
mane career, i ne iaea tnat a poor
man cannot afford to take up diplo
macy is spreading, it Is a situation
for the great American public to
ponder. Think how discouraging it
is for the poor farmer, who has gone
back to spend a month or two of the
summer at his old home in Europe to
D6 obliged to place himself under the
protection of the millionaire who rep
resents his country.
A new national holiday is proposed
in a bill now in the committee on ju
diclary of the house of representatives
that, if adopted, will make April
of every year a day of general jolifi
cation.
The bill proposes the setting asld
of that date for doing honor to the
name "America," as the cognomen
of the continent. Plans for national-
state and. civic celebrations each year
are included in the measure which is
a lengthy document, outlining the
means by which the name America
was given to the continent, the voy
ages of discovery of Americus Ves
pucci, the Italian explorer.
Representative Hamill, of New Jer
sey, the author of the bill declares it
will fill a long felt want. He say
tnat the whole contnent of America
from Hudson's Bay to the Isthmus of
Panama would join in celebrating the
uay.
TAKE CARE I
Remember that when your kidneys
are affected, your life Is in danger.
so.. Mayer, Rochester, N. T., says
oiey Kidney Pills are a wosderful
discovery and I heartily recommend
their use. My trouble started with
a sharp shooting pain over my back
wnicn grew worse each day. I felt
sluggish and tired, my kidney action
was irregular and Infrequent with a
fine sand-like substance. While the
disease was at Its worst I started us
ing .roiey Kidney Pills. Their
prompt and efficient action was mar
venous, n-ach dose seemed to put
new lire and strength into me, and
now I am completely cured and feel
better and stronger than for years."
