George Washington Estab
lished the Precedent at the
Close of First Congress In
l7B9,Touring New England.
TnERE is nothing novel in the
idea of a presidential tour. It
has been a feature of the office
since the foundation of the re
public. The first and the greatest of
Mr. Taft’s predecessors was the man
who set the fashion for presidential
tours. Soon after the close of the first
session of the First congress, or on
Oct. 15, 1789, Washington started from
New York, which was the country’s
seat of government at the beginning of
his term, and rode up through Connec
ticut into Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, steering clear of Rhode Is
land on his tour, as that state had not
yet ratified the constitution and conse
quently was not yet part of the coun
try over which he presided. He was
back in New York on Nov. 13, return
ing by a different route. In the ab
sence of railways, steamboats or even
good roads his trip of four weeks was
attended by some labor. It was made
in bis carriage and, while he proceeded
by easy stages, the rough roads and
the meager accommodations at some
of the inns at which he stopped gave
the trip discomforts which are un
known to the ordinary traveler of to
day. It is scarcely necessary to say
that wherever he appeared Washing
ton received a welcome which was
noted for its fervor and universality.
In a particularly emphatic degree
Washington was the president of the
whole people.
Some Stay at Homes.
Adams, Jefferson and Madison kept
aloof from the people, except as re
gards those at the seat of government
and at their own homes. Each of them,
but particularly Jefferson, made visits
to bis home while In the service, but
none of them made tours or mingled
promiscuously with the people of the
various sections. Monroe, however, at
the beginning of his first term, made a
swing round a far wider circle than
that which Washington traversed, and

tie was longer on the road. Starting
out in 1817 from Washington on May
31, Monroe visited Baltimore. Philadel
phia, Trenton, New r York, Hartford and
Boston. The railways had not yet ap
peared, but the steamboat had made
its advent on some of the country’s
waterways. New York a few weeks
hence will celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of the appearance of Ful
ton’s Clermont pn the Hudson. Ste
vens placed a steamboat on the Dela
ware soon afterward. In 1811 Nicho
las J. Roosevelt, the recent president’s
granduncle, launched the New Orleans
at Pittsburg, and it went down the
Ohio and the Mississippi to engage in
the trade between New Orleans and
Natchez. In the summer of 1817 the
General Tike, the first steamboat which
appeared on the Mississippi north of
the mouth of the Ohio, tied up at the
levee in St. Louis. A steamboat was
launched on Lake Ontario in 1816.
Monroe Penetrated Wilderness.
The new method of transit, there
fore, had become somewhat familiar
to a few people on a few water courses
by the time that Monroe started on his
tour in 1817. He traveled by it on the
Delaware, the Hudson, Long Island
sound and wherever else he could util
ize it. But for only short distances,
and only in a few spots, was it avail
able. Monroe went as far north as
Portland, Me., that locality at that
time being still part of Massachusetts.
Then, byway of New Hampshire, Ver
mont and New York, he pushed west
as far as Detroit, which was on the
extreme verge of frontier settlement
at that time. Kentucky, Tennessee,
Ohio, Louisiana and Indiana were the
only states on the sunset side of the
Alleghenies then. Detroit had only a
few hundred inhabitants, and Michi
gan did not become a state until twenty
years later. Monroe penetrated far la
the wilderness on his trip. Returning
byway of Zanesville, Pittsburg and
Fredericktown, reaching Washington
on Sept. 17, he was three and a half
months absent. No other president
until Johnson covered as much terri
tory on any trip which he made.

second term, Jackson made a tour
through the old middle states and
New England, which carried him
to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and Boston and which proceeded as
far as Concord, N. H., at which point'
ill health compelled him to return to ;
Washington. He was old and Infirm, !
but the enthusiastic greetings which
he received, even in the old time Fed- j
eralist stronghold of New England. !
made his tour very interesting. Jack
son had just overthrown Calhoun and !
the nullifiers of South Carolina, and
on this account he received the plaudits
of Boston and the fastnesses of the
Essex junto. Ten years later Tyler
went to Boston to attend, the dedica
tion of the Bunker Hill monument.
Polk made a tour of the south and
also visited New England during the
Mexican war, but he did not receive
the welcome In the latter section which
was given to Old Hickory.
Johnson’s Speeches Significant.
Nothing which Mr. Taft will say on
his coming trip to the Pacific coast
will be likely to attract so much atten
tion or to arouse so much comment as
did some of the remarks which John
son made when on his way from
Washington in 1860 to lay the corner
stone of the monument in Chicago to
Stephen A. Douglas. That trip car
ried him as far west as St. Louis. He
was then engaged in his feud with
congress on the reconstruction ques
tion. Lincoln’s policy of state restora
tion, which Johnson was trying to
carry out, was opposed by the Repub
lican leaders, and the Republican
party bad an immense majority in
each branch of congress. Probably
the policy would have been defeated if
Lincoln bad lived, as the majority of
his party thought it was too lenient to
the states of the late Confederacy.
Under Johnson, who was not a Re
publican at all, but who was placed
on the Lincoln ticket in 1864 as a
tribute to the services of the war
Democrats, failure was certaiD.
During his eight years iu the White
House Grant traveled much and far.
and this called out a resolution from
the Democratic house of representa
tives in 1876 asking Grant what execu
tive duties had been transacted by
presidents while away from the seat
of government. This gave him a
chance to counter on his enemies,
which he did effectually. In a special
message he gave a long list of ab
sences from the national capital by
most of his predecessors, along to and
Including Buchanan, and told some of
the executive acts which they perform
ed while away. The revelations sur
prised the country and silenced Grant’s
critics. Garfield was beginning his
contemplated tour of New England
when he was shot by Guiteau on July
2, 1881. Arthur made one or two trips
which took him long distances from
the capital. In 1887 Cleveland, then in
his first term, made a trip which took
him into the Mississippi valley. As he
had been married only about a year
at the time his wife received much
attention on the tour. In 1891, in the
latter half of his service, Harrison
paade a long trip to the west and
South. The trip on which McKinley
started in 1901 and which was ended
by his assassination In Buffalo was in
number of miles covered the longest
which had been made by any president.
As in many other things, Roosevelt
broke the record In length of presiden
tial tours, and he also called out more
tumultuous greetings than any of his
predecessors had received. During his
service in the White House he visited
nearly every state and was in all the
territories. Moreover, he went out
side the country’s boundaries, going
to Fanama and spending several days
there. He contemplated a visit to
Alaska, too, but pressing duties pre
vented that trip. As a member of an
administration whose representatives
covered a larger portion of the globe
In the performance of their duties than
did the official family of any preceding
president Mr. Taft acquired the trav
eling habit before he reached the
White House.

PULITZER IS GOING TO

Editor New York World Is
Going I here
New York, Oct. 2.—Joseph Pulitzer,
proprietor of the New York World,
takes up his permanent residence in
Berlin. The Germans welcome him
with gusto in contrast to the flocking
of rich Americans to Paris or London.
He goes to the German capital with 16
servants and will live in a most fash
ionable part of the town, having made
for himself the most remarkable ca
reer of any immigrant from Prussia
into the United States. The propor
tions of it are best seen in the un
doubted fact that as an unofficial am
bassador from the United States Mr.
Pulitzer may easily do much to keep
serene, substantial relations of har
mony between the United States and
the great military power of Europe.
It is not only possible. It is extremely
well worth keeping in mind.

“CAN T BE A PREACHER
AND STILT BE HONEST”
Declares a Dominie Who
Quits The Job
Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 2.—”1 don't be
lieve a minister of the gospel can lead
an honest life now” was the startling
statement by Rev. D. F. Carrick, after
he had resigned the pastorate of the
North Lawrence Christian church. Mr.
Carrick has given up his ambition to
teach the religion of Christ and has
accepted a job with the Lawrence
Street Railway Company as a con
ductor.
“The public never sees behind the
screen of the pastor’s home,” said Mr.
Carrick, “or it might realize the trials,
the griefs and pains the pastor and
his wife are forced to bear.
“A preacher's wife can not even
make a pretense of dressing or dining
well or the people will think they
are paying their pastor too much, or
that he ought to save part of his sal
ary and give It to the missions. He
can not put on a pair of patent leather
shoes without every single person who
has contributed the smallest mite to
ward his salary looking at them as if
to say, 'I helped to pay for those
shoes; there's where our money goes.’
“No, sir; I don't believe a preacher
can live a really honest life. If he
preaches the truth he will he con
demning the lives of most of his con
gregation and condemning them.”

WORLD BELIEVES IN COOK;
FIRST MAN AT THE POLE.
New York, Oct. 2.- There is a strain
of the pathetic in Commander Teary's
statement that he has “decided not
to accept any Invitation to receptions
or any ovations until the present con
troversy is settled by competent au
thority.”
It would almost look as if he con
strued a widespread belief in the suc
cess of Dr. Cook as doubt cast upon
his own achievement.
Practically no one doubLs that Peary
reached the North Pole, but the ma
jority of civilization believes as firmly
that Cook got there first. That is
where the shoe pinches.
Wonder what’s under “John’s Hat”
anyhow?
WOMAN OFFERS A MILLION
TO BEAUTIFY THE LAKE.'
Chicago, Oct. 2.—Mrs. Edith Rocke
feller McCormick has offered $1,000,-
000 toward the improvement of the
Lake Michigan shore, if other wealthy
residents will make up an equal
amount. It is evident that while J. D.
Rockefeller has showered millions in
Institutions he has not been stingy
with his children.
“John and His Hat" is the platform
hit of the year.
Words to have weight must be
