Washington,Doc. Ii6.^The public ro-^reption given by (he presides! of tha^UnMsd States on tha Ifl of January is^a survival of tho old faakhlBBd custom^of receiving on New Year's (lay. It Is^about all that la left of that bubtorn. ,^for nowhere' else in the country is the '^lirst day Ol Ik* your col-lent,-.1 as a!^day for making and receiving BOX ial^visits as It Is in Washington. Here,^however, the custom is OOD.fined to tin-^people in otti' ial otrobS), ami KsW^Year's dn^ beoumes the occasion for^the people In official life ami the mtt^public as well to eall on the president^and wish him many happy returns Of^the day. The custom BseHM now likely^to be permanent, Rut some day a vim-^da) president may overturn even this
eoioniairelic, and the 1st of January^may at as quiet and uneventful at the^capita! as II is In New York.
Thewhite house reception on New^Year's day is an odd survival, anyway.^No olflcinl of the government else^^where, no governor ol a state or mayor^of a large city, feels it necessary to
holda public rapi prion on Die arat day^of till) year. If Washington had not^been so neal tho South, it is doubtful It^the custom would have survived here^so long as It has. Tho social life of the^capital takes much of Its character
fromthe rBatumi af Iks South.^...e white house reception, however,
servesa useful purpose. It gives ;ui
opportunityto the rsprsBsntatlvas of
thenations of the world to pay their^raapat la formally to taa egscutlvs rep^^resentative of the i altad States. It^gives oecastoa for the leglslatlvs and^Judicial branches of the government,^through their representatives, to meet
sociallyand ;o strike hands at the otll-^i-i.d home of the head of the executive
branchof the government, and finally
itgives the public a chance to see the^white house in its glory and to shake^bands with the president. That the^public is anxious to avail itself of this^opportunity is shown by the long line^which stands OB IVnnsylvuuia avenue^on the day of the reception waiting fur^hours, often In snow or rain, for the^doers of the executive mansion to be^thrown open to the public.^Till; PEOPLE AND Till'. PRE8I*^DENT,
Thepeople of the United Stabs,^whether they live at Washington or
havehomes in other parta of the coun^^try, have a strong Feeling thai il,.'^property id the government is their^property. They havs paid iax^^. and
withtheir mono] have been bought the
greatcapltol at Washington, the^executive mansion, the department^buildings and all the other properties^necessary to carry on the business of^government. Even the president of the^I'nitcd Slates, created by their suf^^frages, is their own. And in the pbbi^of Airs. Clevi land the people bava an
