MRS. CLEVELAND'S IDEAL
"No woman could ask a greater interest than
her children," said Mrs. Grover Cleveland at her
summer home at Tamworth, N. H., just before
her departure for Europe. "Other interests come
into every woman's life, but that is the main one,
I think. It has been my greatest interest for 18
years.
"I want my children to be in the country as
much as possible during their childhood, out of
the confusion of city life. Of course, we are in
the country at our home in Princeton, but it is
not like this.
"I am so glad that they are not public chil-
dren any more," she added. "It is different with
older people, I think. But both Mr. Cleveland
and myself always were careful to guard our
home life."
"Photographs of children always look to me like caricatures. In a pic-
ture you see just one expression, while you know that a child has hundreds
of little moods and tenses. It does not seem to me as If a photograph was
ever as beautiful as a child. I sometimes feel that way about my friends. It
never seems as if their photographs do them Justice.
"About our country life? Why, there is little to tell. WTe live out of
doors. No not on the piazzas, she added, smiling, as her visitor involuntarily
glanced out on the broad veranda that rimmed the western wing of the
house. "Out doors, in fields, in pastures, everywhere.
WHITE HOUSE POSSIBILITY
s
The National Monthly, edited by Chairman
Norman E. Mack of the Democratic national com-
mittee, recently printod an article by Judson Har-
mon, governor of Ohio, bitterly assailing the Re-
publican administration at Washington on ac-
count of the new tariff bill.
Gov. Harmon was the principal speaker on
"Democratic day" at the Texas state fair at Dal-
las, October 16, and his address there, taken in
connection with his article in Chairman Mack's
National Monthly, has given rise to the state-
ment in political quarters iu close relation with
Mr. Mack, that the chairman has dropped Bryan
as a presidential possibility and is now grooming
Gov. Harmon for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
It is too early to nssert that Gov. Harmon Is
to be regarded as the political heir of the late Gov. Johnson of Minnesota in
a national sense, but unquestionably it makes the Ohio executive stand out
more prominently in the political arena.
