BUSINESSE VRSUS POLITICS
After months of debate the
food control bili became a law.
During that time Mr. Hoover
had been at work, had organized
his department with volunteers,
had analyzed the factors of the
situation, and when the bill was
signed he had thought out and
laid before the people a well-de
fined plan of action.
While the Senate talked Hoov
er worked and acted. When it
got through talking he was ready
to act.
There is a world of difference
between a business man and a
politician. To the business man
action is the only thing that
counts, and words are of use
only to expedite action. To the
politician words are everything,
and he is proud when he scans
the Congressional Record and re
flects that they are full of words,
largely his own.
His chief anxiety being to hole
his job. he shirks from action
lest it should cause loss of votes,
and covers his cowardice with a
cloud of words, as the devilfish
covers his retreat with a flood of
ink.
THE FALL FESTIVAL
Nothing connected with the
industrial life of the people of
this country is of greater impor
tance at this time than the
country and neighborhood fairs.
Whatever else we may be
tempted to neglect, the fair should
not be allowed to suffer. Every
effort should be put forth to
make the fair this fall bigger,
better and of more far reaching
influence than any previous ef
fort.
At this stage of our history the
big question, the question that
overshadows all others, is that of
production. We must produce,
and produce, and keep producing.
In times past this passion of
production was based largely on
desire; we desired the fruits of
our labors for our gratification

Voiced His Joy In Returning to His
Clover Fields—Johnson Also Depart
ed With Feelings of Deep Relief.
The varied circumstances under
which presidents of the United States
left Washington following tbe ending
of their terms of office is interesting,
for no two followed exactly tbe same
Each president’s manner of
course.
farewell depended upon bis tempera
ment or upon his success In office
Washington and John Adams and Jef
ferson all said farewell with gladness
in their hearts, for each of these was
well along in life at tbe time, and each
was glad to lay down tbe formalities
of public office.
John Quincy Adams, like bis father
before him, did not wait to witness tbe
inauguration of his successor. Thomas
Jefferson, after two terms in tbe White
House, said, with tears In his eyes,
that he was glad beyond expression to
return to the “clover fields of his farm
at Monticello.”
Andrew Jackson left the White
House without regret. Not that be was
tired of serving bls country, but that
age was creeping upon him and the
mental and physical strain of public
life was beginning to tell upon bis gen
eral health.
President Van Buren left the White
House on foot, becoming thus of a sud
den once more an ordinary citizen, the
transition taking place with as much
apparent indifference as was his com
ing to the White House. An Albany
newspaper of the time relates that “on
Monday, March 1, a large number of
the Democracy called upon Mr. Van
Buren and were received by him in the
celebrated east room, where be bid
them farewell. He walked down the
avenue today (March 4) as unconcern
ed as the most humble spectator in the
crowd.”
President Tyler, before leaving the
White House, engaged quarters at a
Washington hotel and, after welcom
ing his successor, President Polk,
drove to his temporary home with Mrs
Tyler. President Johnson, beset by en
emies whose attacks had continued to
harass him all during bls term of office,
left the White House with feelings of
deep relief. Reporters of that day tell
us bow, on the 3d of March, 1869, the
day before General Grant came to the
White House, “at 12 o’clock President
Johnson's private reception room was
thrown open to an immense throng of
visitors. Tbe president was in tbe
room and shook hands with all tbe vis-
itors, many of whom seemed much af
fected, being personal friends."
When President Hayes took bis de
parture from the White House be re
mained for a short time in Washington
as the guest of Senator Sherman, sec-
retary of tbe treasury, and of Mr. Sut
ton. The evening before President
Harrison's leavetaking his daughter.
Mrs. McKee, held a farewell reception.
Tbe majority of the presidents have
accompanied their successors to tbe
capitol to be sworn in. departing after
ward in their owu private carriages.
Many of them later revisited the White
House, but tbe most striking of these
revisits were those of President Grant
aud Benjamin Harrison. It was more
than twelve years after his second term
that Grant paid bls visit to the White
House. It was during President Ar
thur's term.
He arrived there un
announced and was wandering about
tbe building renewing old acquaint-
ances, when be was taken in band by
Thomas Pendel, tbe head doorkeeper,
who bad occupied tbe same position
during the Grant administration.
While President McKinley was the
tenant of tbe White House be was one
day approached by one of tbe ushers,
who aald: “Mr. President, ex-President
Harrison is in tbe east room Just to
look around and says not to disturb
you." Mr. McKinley at the time was
holding a cabinet meeting, which he
instantly adjourned and went to tbe re
ception room to welcome General Har
rison and bis wife. They spent a pleas
ant hour with tbe president and Mrs
McKinley in their private apartments.

Our National Hymn.
Why not. lu all civil service and pro
fessional tests, make the ability to re
peat the “Star Spangled Banner" from
memory required? Not one person In
a hundred can repeat this hymn from
the beginning to tbe end. The same
way with "America." Knowing these
grand anthems speaks well for tbe pa
triotie instincts of a people, while the
ignorance of them shows a marked
deficit in our citizenship.
No one
should teach school, practice law. Oil
a public office or preach tbe gospel who
cannot repeat the "Star Spangled Ban
nor” all through.—Ohio State Journal.
