March 11—Pres ident Wilson has issued the most startling order ever emanated from the White House. He has served notice on the politicians that office seekers will not be received at the White House ex cept when he sends for them. He ogives them to understand that lie lias more important duties to /perform than merely questioning applicants for office. Mr. Wilson has also given no tice to the country that ambassa dors to the foreign coumvties will be selected by William J. Bryan the secretary of State. There is no instance in history where any president has divested him self of the appointing power over these great offices, and some of the politicians in Wsahington are beginning to wonder if this is not merely an act of gratitude on the part of Mr. Wilson for the great fight whierh Bryan made for him at Baltimore resulting in Wilson’s nomination and election. With this great power of pat ronage in Bryan’s hands and man rouage in Bryan’s hands and many of his personal friends hold ing p sitions in the cabinet Mr. Fiyan will be able to build up H great political organization by 1916 w'-kli will probably be abH to w-in him the nomination for the presidency. • The secretary of state has re *cie ‘-.1 m lice of the action oi the legislatures of ighteen staffs up on the proposed constitution! amendmert providing for He di rect election of senators by the people. S<o far not a single state has acted adversely. Tipplers berfrd with dismay that r edict has gme forth that the Wilson Ma--shall administration shall be a ‘‘white ribbon”’ affair, with no wines or liquors served a any entertainment. They will be tabood not only in the white house, but also by the vice pres ident and Mrs. Marshall, the sec retary of state and Mrs. Bryan and nearly all the cabinet. This is one of the most import ant changes in the social regime under the new administration, an. it is reckoned will save to the social set hundreds of thou sands of dollars spent by those who entertain frequently. 1 • Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes was *sthe lsat mistress of the white • house to taboo wines and liquors. C L. Lewis Gong. C. L. Lewis, the defunct mana ger of the local playhouse, has cut Winder after having sold his picture machine to Mr. An- Sharpton. This manip- Hpaior of the “movies” moved Tjust a little too fast for some of us, and we are now nursing un paid hills and wondering if there is much difference between (is and the original E. Z. Mark. This much can he said for the “beat.,” he put on a high class of '“moving pciture shows. Mr. Sharp ton has a contract with the same film company and will keep the shows up to the standard.
