Controlled by Heira Locked in steel compartments of the Ubrary’s manuscript department are the presidential papers of Cleveland, Roosevelt and Taft. They are kept in privacy, not for any specific period, but until further orders are given by those having them in charge. The widows of Presidents Cleveland and velt may bestow the right of | | | ¢ 0 these collections, and this | M been given occasionally graphical or scientific research. Chief Justice Taft placed his com- munications as president in the li-| ry for safekeeping some years a No part of them may be seen ' out an order from him in writing.! The collection of Charles J. Bona- | Parte, attorney-general under Roose- velt, also is held pending further in- structions. These statesmen belong to the pres-! ent generation, or were so close to it that they or their executors felt that ; publication should be delayed until political animosities had faded and personal misunderstandings been for- gotten. Custodians of the papers say | there is little or nothing in them that would cause diplomatic embar- | rassment, but matters which might} re-open old.wounds or revive slumb ing controversies. These difficulties will be smoothed out with the years, and there will be no reason to with- hold publicity. Open to Students | No such inhibitions surround the writings of the early presidents. The mansuscripts of George Washington ie noane in large volumes, and may he studied in intimate detail by the | historian. Similar access is permitted | the writings of the succeeding | lpespgeh in Jone Ooi setiersor.

But, despite the apparent generosity of the gods, he continues to serve the Goiden Rule in his old capacity as stove-installer and general trouble- call man.

D., and spent my last cent putting up a shack that I could live in in the sum- mer time. In the winter, I continued to work in St. Paul.” Recently, Mr. Bernette returned from a trip to his homestead after ing that 8,000 feet under the) of oll had been dis, value of which Vm i Water" Didn't Work “They neve pected it,” he said, nth tha alone, a jBg0n.. caus fire and the volunteer fire crew be- \ Popa waar som @ well that had been for years. be. ause of the bad taste of the water.
