From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C. Sent. 28. 1008
The President is again and for
the last time, it is said, in the
White House and interest again
centers 111 and about that historic
mansion, for it is now occupied
even in this presidential vear bv a
1
personality more interesting to the
renerai pudiic man any or. me can
didates. Uthough he is bronzed
bv the outdoor life at Sacaniore
Hill, the President looks a bit care
worn and tired at the end of his
vacation. It has been the busiest
holiday period that he has rased
In many years and the strain of the
campaign has made itselt ielt. 1 he
number of visitoss at his country
home this summer was the larcrest
during his seven years in the office
ol president. The contest about
the nomination of Governor Hughes
occupied much of the President's
time and that strucele was onlv
part of the greater one which he is
making to Dring aoottt the election
of Mr. Taft. From now until the
eve of election in November, the
President it is said, will bend every
energy to winning the fight for
Judge Taft and he has intimated
that he will stop at nothing that is
lair to get a victory. As soon as
that election is over, Mr. Roosevelt
will turn his attention to the bic
game hunting trip in Africa which
, he has had in view for nearly a
year.
When the President alighted from
the special train at the Union Sta
tion in this city, he found himself
surrounded by a number of mem
bers of his cabinet. He greeted
them most cordially and was snec
ially demonstrative toward Secreta
ry Mraus of the Department of
Commerce and Labor who, with
Mrs. Straus was one of the first to
get the President's hand. He call
ed Secretary Wilson of the Agri
cultural Department "Dear old
Nestor" and Postmaster General,
ex-ambassador to Russia Meyer,
"My dear George." The Postmas
ter General, who is credited with
being the practical politician of the
cabinet, complimented the Presi
dent on his letter in the morning
newspapers arraigning Senator For
alter and Governor Haskell of Ok
lahoma. After the greetings were
over, the entire party, lead by the
President, who had on each side of
him one of his military aides, Col.
Bromwell and Capt. Butt and was
encircled by the secret service men,
walked to where the carriages were
waiting outside.
There are indications that from
now onward the real headquarters
of the Republican campaign will be
the Executive Mansion and the
real manager of the campaign the
President himself. Judge Taft has
sent a reassuring telegram to Chair
man Frank H. Hitchcock, but it is
within the knowledge of well in
formed persons that Mr. Hitchcock
from now on will in a degree be
obliged to take advice from older
statesmen, including Mr. Roose
velt. It is understood that the
President is returning to Washing
ton earlier than is customary in or
der to facilitate conferences with
campaign leaders where he will be
more accessible than he was at
Oyster Bay. The President has
made engagements with a number
of distinguished politicians, leaders
of his party, to meet him at the
White House within the next few
Jays and Chairman Hitchcock is
expected among them. It is a fact
that the management of Mr. Hitch
cock has not been entirely satisfac
tory to the Republican candidate,
and it is also true that Mr. Roose
velt was more anxious than Mr.
Xaft concerning the complaints of
party leaders with reference to

Ilitch ock's reticence. They inter
preted his reticence to mean that
lie was not quite sure what he was
doing or going to do and therefore
averse to talking about it.
It became known in Democratic
circles last week that several na
tional committeemen are preparing
to use their influence for the remov
al of Governor Charles N. Haskell
from the office of Treasurer of the
National Committee. He is regard
ed by some prominent Democrats
as very much in the relation of Sen
ator Foraker to the Republican
party. They are both to all ap
pearances under a dark cloud.
There may be exculpatory circum
stances, but in the midst of a hot
campaign there is no time lor de
fense. The decks must be cleared
of everything except the best fight
ing material.
The President is evidently deter
mined to run amuck in the present
campaign and to issue from the
White House, bulls of ex-communication.
His strictures will be
read by all and will be believed by
some. Promiuent democrats are of
opinion that Governor Haskell will
not have sufficient time to answer
the President and vindicate himself
and it is not improbable that within
the next few days, he may resign
and thus relieve Mr. Bryan of a
situation which may embarrass the
clean and splendid campaign he is
waging.
The Racial Pot-Pourri of the Isthmus
In one of his interesting sketches
of travel Richard Harding Davis
has referred to Port Said as the
human clearing-house of all the
world. But he wrote that before a
far-seeing President at Washington
decided to take up the abandoned
task of the discredited De Lessens
and complete the severing of the
two Americas. There is now prob
ably no spot on the face of the earth
where there are congregated togeth
er the representatives of so many
different nations as ou the Isthmus
of Panama.
It is related that a certain earnest
seeker after facts, one of those be
ings who wallow in statistics and
make boast of their shame, inquir
ed of an authority concerning the
number of distinct peoples oflicially
recognized in the population of the
Zone. Whereupon the authority
desired to know how many branch
es of the human family there were
tabulated.; on being told fifty-two,
or such a matter, he pointed out to
th e earnest one that he had most
satisfactorily answered his own
question.
The news that the "Big Ditch"
was to be reopened was a veritable

brotherhood of the Wanderlust.

What Happened to a Girl Seeking
Shelter in New York.
What happened to seventeen
year-old Lucy Green last winter
when she arrived in New York
seeking work, without friends or
money, is the real story of a real
girl, told by the girl herself in Oc
tober Woman' Home Companion.
The first day she was directed to
the Margaret Louisa Home, con
ducted by the Young Women's
Christian Association. After many
waits and delays she was passed on
to the chaplain of the institution
This is what took place with the
chaplain :
"As gently as possible she broke
the news that the Margaret Louisa
Home was not the boarding place
for which I was seeking. The rates
were too high for any one save
gin wno was already well hxed in
business. A single room would
cost me sixty cents a day, breakfast
and luncheon twenty-five cents each
ana dinner tniny-hve cents. 1 was
probably looking for a working

gins nome. i apologized tor my
mistake, saying that I had lead
much of the Margaret Louisa Home
and supposed it was a home for
working girls. And then as gently
as before she explained that it was
a transient hotel for self-supporting
women, not tor er working girls.
1 saw the distinction.
"She then gave me the addresses
of real homes for working girls
Mrs. Huntington's at 140 East 16th
Street, and 'The Co-operato,' 444
west 23d street.
' Can you suggest where I had
best look for work ?' I inquired has
tily.
woritf wen, this is a very
oad time ot the year to get into the
stores, ihey are letting girls out.
Governesses, too, have all been en
gaged !
"By this time she was standing
up. She hoped I would enroll with
the association. It cost onlv one
dollar a year, and I would eniov
the library. The Tuesday night
lecture for members was especially
interesting. She said good-by, with
out offering to shake hands and
my relations with the Young Wom
en's Christian Association were
closed.
"Apparently the New York
branch of the Y. W. C. A. is for
women who have proven their abil
ity to be self-supporting. It offers
nothing to the girls starting on the
road to self-support. The Margaret
Louisa Home is not a 'home.' It
is an admirably conducted, reason
ably priced transient hotel for wom
en who do not care to patronize
hotels where men are admitted."

"LET THE PEOPLE RULE"
APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS
lor Bryan and Korn Campaifift Fund, from
Iho Democratic National Commutes.
To Geo. E. Elwell, Editor of the
Columbian.
There are no secrets in this Cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
preaches, Mr. Bryan will not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not a dollar is tobe accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOV
ERNMENT.
Mr. liryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang
ling alliances, free to serve all class
es of honest citizens alike, or he
will not enter at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
The people must pay the necessa
ry campaign expenses if they want
public servants who will serve their
interests.
Special interests and favored class
es, having secured "SWOLLEN
FORTUNES" by purchasing fa
vors in the past with MILLIONS
CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL
ELECTIONS, stand ready to give
MILLIONS MOKE FOR CON
TINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar ttuless it
buvs a pledge.
Mr. Bryan sa3's, from March 4th,
Iqoq, LIST THE PISOl'LIS
RULE."
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control
their own elections.
"BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS
BEARING GIFTS.'"
That policy of the favored few
buying a mortgage on the Govern
ment meant that the Candidate for
President knew a few people only
in an entire State
Bryan says, "We will take the
cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home
to the people and will know people
in every county."
You can serve the grand cause of
popular government.
Your paper reaches the fireside
of the patriot who loves his country
for his country s GOOD; as distin
guished from the greedy possessor
of swollen fortunes who loves his
country only for his country s
GOODS.
Asking every one who favors
Government by the people to pay
you, at once, as many dollars as be
can spare to aid the Campaign for
BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE S
RULE. You forward these gifts
of honest hearts and home every
two weeks to the Treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee,
with the name of each contributor
and amounts given The Treasurer
will forward you a certificate for
each one, asking you to deliver
these certificates.
Once more, you should be a part
of the Great Organization bearing
the Lamp of Light to every nook
and corner of Free America.
Our Country is for the People;
its Government must be bv the
eople.
