Congressional News Bureau,
; January 10.
One month ago practically all of
e interest in the presidential situa>n
was centered in the coming
emocratic National Convention and
ho would be the lucky candidate to
ill down tym plum. Four weeks
;o the inevitable and almost cerin
nomination of President Taft
us conceded even by thoso of his
irty who were not his supporters
id many Republicans high in the
tuncils of their party openly asrted
that his nomination spelt deat
and also that the nomination of
uFolIette or any well known kiroessive
leader would end the Vine
ay. Today the political homon
resents a different aspect. The
jople have sent a messenger to the
aders to reform them as to popular
ntimentand now the African june
hunter and the "Theodore'' of
ough Rider fame looms up a conlicuous
figure. It is believed by
lany that the tour of Senator Laollettc
through Ohio, Taft's home
Late, was a preconcerted plan on
ic part of Roosevelt and the proressive
leaders to drive away from
le president his own people and to
i-monstrate to him in his home
late the fallacy of his candidacy,
rom the secret information made
ublic from time to time by Gifford
inchot, the ex-president's.^ rjjjht
and bower, and the attitude of
arfield and many others of the
rominent progressive Republican
aders, it would seem that Mr.
oosevelt has again cast his anchor
> the windward and has trained his
Lins upon his old home?the White
[ume. That Roosevelt is one of the
irewdest politicians of the day eanot
be denied; that Taft is no policrnn
at all his presidential record
ives evidence; but what will be the
atcome even the most far-sighted
olitical prophets cannot prophesy,
aft, though troubled and restless,
;fuses to begin open warfare against
is old time friend and sponsor and
oosevelt declines to commit him;lf
as to what he will do. He has
laced himself in a ViirB nrnmin?nt
nd strategic position in the eyes of
le country and it is the opinion of
le writer that he is only waiting
>r developments before his voice
ill be heard. If he believes that
/en though tendered the nominaon
he will be defeated he will
racefully declare himself out of the
ice and may assign his reason #Wi
> doing to his opposition to wi
lird term tenure rule. Then aws
Mr. Roosevelt is confident of jBRl
lection if nominated and the?
itions are still unfavorable fo*
j-election of Mr. Taft he will aiiounce
himself the chosen prophet
) lead his party out of the wilderess.
Heie the political genius of
Teddyshines with a brilliancy
nd lustre that dazzles and con-,
unds. The fact that no Denio atic
candidate of those thus far
lentioned for the presidency lias
vept the people off their feet or has
ypnotized the party leaders makes
le situation in the Republican
irty even more complex. The iste
still hangs in the balance and
ie slightest of events may tip the
ale. Some presidents are born,
.hers are the result of factionalism
i conventions, but be as it may
me will tell.
It will no doubt be a surprise to
iany to know that the old home of
rancis Scott Key, the author of
ie Star Spangled Banner, which is
cated in Georgetown, a suburb of
'ashington, will soon be torn down
lless through the patriotism of
me good people it may be saved,
lie owners of this building have
id that if they do not get S1"?,<KX)

The o#ner of the building the other | |

become the rendezvous of tramps. j:
This historic old bui'ding was the *
home for many years of Francis T1
Scott Key and is known as the Key {I
mansion. It is over 100 years old. ? i
It is located in a conspicuous place, ^
being on the street leading to the
bridge over the Potomac which one *T
takes in going to Ailington cemetery, \ .
the old home of General Lee. The <? I
place has been visited by thousands ^ |
and thousands of those who revere e t
the memory of the man who wrote ?
our national anthem. This old *
relic should be preserved for it calls T 1
to mind what Key did and that ^ I
causee the heart of every American ? i
to beat with pride. It is, of course, r i
sentimental for us to preserve any t
of the relics of />ur great men but it
is this sentiment that makes us bet- t1
ter citizens and is a duty we owe ? I
ourselves and our posterity. It 11
seems that We have just been a little ? i
derelict in that duty. ^
C. P. Grandfield, first assistant "
postmaster general, has just made ' 1 ?
his report to Congress and it con- ?
tains some very interesting informs- ? I
tion. He states' that on June 30th, ; ,
1911, there were in operation SO,- j .
237 post ofiices of all classes. The ;
expenditures for the service for the '
same time was 8237,648,926 68. 1
The city delivery service is now in
operation in 1,541 cities, serving j|
more than 46,000,000 people. On ! '
the 42,000 rural routes 20,000,000
people receive their mail from rural ' J*
carriers.
Perhaps it may be of interest to ?
know the actual strength of our &
military establishment. At the 3
present time we have 4,281 officers
and 70,001 enlisted men in the reg- 1?
ular army and 179 officers and 5,401
enlisted men in the Philippine ?ii
SScouts, making a total of 4,460offi- a
cers and 75,402 enlisted men. The 3!
figures given here do not include the TT
strength of the Hospital Corps
(?i a -? =
viiiouii/ai uc|ianuiout;, WHICH WHS X"
3,453 enlisted men. The total au- ||
thorized strength of the army is ? |
88,283 men while the actual J.
strength shows 80,253 ofilcers and r
men. Over 59,000 of our soldiers * J
are in the United States while the 4 *
remainder are statioded in our vari- <{ I
ous island possessions and Alaska.. J |

now a bill pending in the House of
Representatives providing for federal j '
pay for State militiamen and the
same is receiving much considera- I'
tion. Many members of Congress, jv
who are unfavorable to an increase
in our regulir army, arc adherents Mr'
of this bill, believing that the stan- 1^1

by encouraging the militiamen in I.
