Washington notes a dispute over moving the Marine Band weekly concerts from the White House lawn to a riverside site. Critics say the plan hurts middle class concertgoers lacking cars, while supporters cite convenience for officials. The bandstand opened amid protests as Mr and Mrs Taft attended the inaugural performance.
A Washington rumor claims Vice President Sherman may join Taft’s golf set, with Uncle Joe Cannon spotlighted as a rising figure. Once a Danville shinny champion, Cannon reportedly seeks golf mastery at Chevy Chase, while critics note his tennis misadventure.
The two and a half story green cottage at Beverly Masses shoreside estate will house the Tafts this summer. Entrance from Ober street is guarded by stone posts, with a porte cochere and a broad veranda around three sides. The ocean facing tower tops a dome, and the second floor dining room veranda connects to all bedrooms. Interiors include a white music room and a cherry lined library. The house has electric lighting and modern conveniences. A stable for six horses and a sizable garage complete the property.
Senator McCumber proposes a joint meeting of Senate and House pension committees to limit pension bills. He notes the rapid rise in pension legislation, with about 1,000 bills in the current session and similar figures in the last, urging an agreed cap to avoid turning committees into large pension bureaus.
A long argument asserts dollar wheat is here to stay and Canada’s prairies Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta will supply a growing share of US bread. It notes Wheat prices above a dollar and predicts Canada will become the US bread basket within a decade, aided by immigration, investment, and homesteads.
Fragmentary ad clippings push a garish mix of household products and moral slogans. Vague references to Daisy Fly Killer, Garfield Tea, Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and a Brooklyn address mingle with dated moral quips about marriage and propriety.
