What, then, is the matter with this office that so many respectable & wealthy statesmen refuses to move in? Are gas-pipes in bad condition? Do plumbing need attention to? Are Hon. janitor careless about hot & cold water? Or what?
When Hon. Real Estate man have a office what nobody will took he decorate it up with wall-paper, etc., to look rich. Pretty soonly somebody will be careless & take it. Are not U. S. Government splandid enough business man to repair Vice-President office so that it will not look so dubyus? I require no answer.
I am injured in nerve to see so many grand Americans regarding that To Let sign with eye-wink. Yet what-say following Statesmen about it?
Hon. Cannon say: “I shall be old with dignity.”
Hon. Fairbanks say: “I have tried it, thank you.”
Hon. Hughes say: “It are a hall-room.”
Hon. Haze Hammond say: “Too much salary for repairs.”
Hon. Nox say: “I can hide elsewheres.”
I am confused by such proud answers. To Sydney Katsu, Jr., I inquire: “I can not understand why persons refuses gifts what is offered to take free.”
