m WASHINGTON LETTER m
e
Washington City,
August 18, 1913,
Saturday afternoon I went over
to the President’s Park at the White
House, sat down on the grass under
a big tree and listened to the fam
ous Marine Band.
This is an enclosed park of four
or five acres on the Southern side of
the President's home. It would be
the back yard if the White House
had any back yard, but it hasn’t.
The rear of the White House is real
ly more beautiful than the front,
having a large portico with great
celumns as though it were the front.
The Park is not smooth like a
lawn but consists of little hills and
dells, with lots of trees and shrub
béry and near the center a large
fountain, This fountain is simply
a pool about seventy-five feet across,
circular in form, with a cluster of
sprays in the center while a large
pipe runs around the edge with lit
tle pipes turned upward every few
feet to throw the water toward the
center, These jets around the outer
edge meet the jets that come up
from the center and the effect is
a bank of sprays sixty or seventy
teet across, There was the beauty
of the rainbow on the snowy spray
and music of falling water as we
walted for the band to play. ;
&¢& & %
It was a nice looking crowd that
gathered to hear the band—well
dressed ladies and men, pretty girls
and little children, It was like a
lawn party.
The Marine Band has something of
a reputation, It plays every Wed
pesday afternoon in Summer on the
Capitol Grounds but somehow I
don’t like its music. The leader is
a big, fat fellow who looks like he
has no music in his soul. Maybe I
think a musician ought to have long
hair like Paderewski but when I see
a fat man with a face like a keg of
beer I can’'t get over the fear that
the performance is going to run too
much to bass horns and drums,
which are alright in a way, but even ;
a good thing can be " overdone. I
think I counted six bass horns. 1 es
timated that there were seventy-five'
men in the band. ;
I admit that it is a good band I'll’
say that without inquiring .about its
politics, But, honest, I'd just as
soon hear our boys down home. They |
play pieces that are not out of my
reach. 1 used to have to go to the
opera house in Atlanta and hear a}
woman pound Wagnerian music out
of a grand piano and [ have h:ned"
her for thirty years |
®%% ¥ ¥
Well, they played some more of
the same.
Along in the midst of it came a
cornet solo, ‘““Therese,” and it was
very fine, It showed that the men
could play if the fat leader would
let' them and that the band did not
consist entirely of bass horns and
noise. -
When the ‘modest yvoung cornet
ist resumed his place in the band he
was encored until he came forward
again and played ‘‘Believe Me, If
All Those Endearing Young Charms.”
And you believe me, that was some
music. Maybe I don’t know enough
about music, but Sam Jones used to
say it dosen’t pay to know too much
—-especially if it ain't so.
Then, a little later in response to
a request they played a first class
rag time—l don’t know what it WAas,
for I'm not posted on turkey trot
music—but I got my money’s wortk.

Farm and Fireside says:
“Many Farmers are a great success
at growing crops, but they fall down
miserably when it comes to getting
the money out of those crops. What
we need at the present time more
than any other one thing is better
business talent on the part of our
farmers.”
ALL-RED WIRELESS
Canada Plans Exciusive Service
Across Atlantic Ocean.
Does Not Like the idea of Being De
pendent Upon the Big Companies
of the United States—Will
Supplement Cables.
\ St. John’s N. ¥F.—The recent an
nouncement by the Canadian postmas
‘ter general, L. P. Pelletier, that the
‘dominion government intends to es
tablish a system of wirelegs stations,
‘to supplement the transatlantic eable
services, {indicates the importance
which Canada attaches m' the utiliza
tion of this agency. The cable com
panies are equally alive io the need
of special efforts to cope with the
growing use of the wireless by sea
and land, a fact instanced by there
being in the world today 2,624 radio
telegraphic stations, of which 360 are
coast stations, 1,352 are on vessels of
the mercantile marine and 964 on
warships,
At the outset it may not be amiss
to point out that with the Anglo-
American, Western Union and Direct
United States Cable companies form
ing one merger; the Commercial Cable
company maintaining another in con
junction with the German cables, and
both being controlled by American
capital and executive officers, the rea
sons for a British controlled, state
owned cable system and a wireless
system, a 8 an alternative that can be
utilized in any emergency, are greatly
accentuated. Similarly, as all the ex
isting transatlantic cable companies
have seen it to be technically and
financially advantageous to land their
cables on the shores of Newfoundland
the last four years and to pay annual
landing taxes of $B,OOO to $20,000 for
the right to do so, Newfoundland
would seem to be the obvious place
also to land any proposed new ‘“All-
Red” cable or wireless system.
Newfoundland enjoys the distinc
tion of being the birthplace of trans
oceanic telegraphy, both by wire and
wireless. ’n August, 1868, more than
fifty years ago, Cyrus Field laid the
first submuarine cable between Kerry,
Irelend, and Trinity bay, Neswfound
land, and in December, 1901. Guglietl
mo Marconi received at St. John's the
firat electric signals through his wire
less medium transmitted across 2,000
miles of space from his station at
Poldhu, England.
It may be taken for granted that the
imperial and Canadian authorities can
sc¢arcely view with equanimity the ac
quisition by Americans of one group
of transatlantic oables which contains
the only one of British identity in the
lot—namely, the Anglo-American—
while another purely American organ
ization, the Commercial Cable com
pany, controls the second group, there
by depriving the British empire of
any direct supervision of these subma
rine agencies. It is quite true, of
courss, that under the imperial laws
the British government could assume
control of cable stations at the land
ing places in the British isles in the
event of war or other emergency, and
that similar powers are vested in the
governments of C(anada and New
foundland, where these cables have
their western terminals.
There are now seventeen working
cables across the Atlantic, distributed
as follows:
Four Anglo-American cables be
tween the British isles and America.
via Hearl’'s Content, Newfouundland.
Three Western Union cables, one
between the British isles and America,
via Bay Roberts, Newfoundiand, and
two via Canso, Nova Scotia.
Oue direct United States cable be
tween the British isles and America.
via Harbor Grace, Newfoundiand.
Five Commercial cables, two be
tween the British isles and America,
via St. John’s, Newfoundland; two via
(Canso, and one via Horta, Azoves.
Two Freach cables, ona between
Brest and New York, via St. Pierre,
Miquelon, and one via Cape (od.
Two German cables between Bor
kum and New York, via the Azores.
