A White House rose with any other |name does not smell as sweet to Ohio l| jadmirers, “Pat” McKenna, chief usher l||at the executive mansion, has found out. Oneq of these “personally con- | ducted tour” tellows from Columbus, Ohio, got together a big party of ‘state folks to see the National Capi- Il tal and as a chief attraction promised | to arrange for them to visit with | President Harding for a while at the White House. When tney arrived there, with all the ladies wearing their prettiest and || the men brushed up to discuss inter- Il national politics, they met “Pat” Mc- || Kenna. Presenting his most impres- sive front, thetour manager asked to see Fellow-citizen Harding, remark- ing that “we home folks thought wé'd drop in and gossip A bit with him.” “Pat” was equal to the occasion and brought out Charlle Hard, former postmaster at Portsmouth, Ohio, per- sonal friend of the President for il [ many years and mnow appointment i] | clerk ati the White House. Hard likes to shake hands with the home-folks and oftentimes saves the President much of this sort of welcoming. When McKenna brought out Hard the tour conductor stepped forward eagerly, his face beaming and hand extended. Then a wave of surprise, ] | distrust, chagrin and near-anger i1 | swept over his countenance. “This il | is not Mr. Harding,” he gasped, before ] | McKenna' could finish his -introduc- tion: “Here is Mr. Hard—" You ] | never saw a more disappointed man than the tour manager. But it was finally fixed up all right. The Ohio party was given tickets to look over the White House, and afterward they came back and passed in review be- fore the President at one of his pub- lic receptions. * K ok % David F.

After the Mexican war govern- ment expenses again doubled and clung at the new high level. After the civil war the cost of gov- ernment guadrupled, and never slumped lower than three times the pre-war_ total. After the little rumpus with in the federal expenses went up about 50 per cent and never got back to the old normal. Participation in the world war drove the mounting thermometer of governmental expense up to five times the old costs, with the Ar‘ny and Navy budget 50 per cent er Supper Dance Minster's Orchestra Piano, Violin, Cornet, Saxophone and Drum.

The last war .cost the American people more than a billion dollars a month. “Hell Maria” Dawes in his budget work and Walter F. Brown &s chair- man of the government reotgamisa- tion committee-are finding that war and the obligations resulting from wars are the big burden of govern- ment and that it.is hard to curtail the mounting costs. All of which gives point to the slogan suggested for-the comyng con- ference—"Disarm or Bust."” * x x % Congress is a polygot.
