The President considered remaining
at his Sycamore Hill home until
tie middle, or latter part OF October
but both personal and official reasons
induced him TO plan his return to
Washington at about his usual time.
Three Of tie children are in school
here and il was deemed desirable by
the presid nit a I'd Mrs Roosevelt that
they should start IN witt the other
pupils at the beginning of the autumn
term. Some official matters re.
uuired the Presidents attention in
Washington and lac desires to get
them out OF the way before he stats
on his trip to the Isthm1s of Panama.
Soon after he reaches Washington,
the president will make flying
trip to Pennsylvania. whore he will
deliver addresses at Harrisburg and
York.
One Of the ugly questions which
the president will have to take up
soon after he gets back to Washington
is that relating to the situation in
the government printing office. The
big printery is in state of distur
ance which NAV become one of vio-
lent ERUPTION at almost any moment
The nolicy pursued bv Public Printer
Stillings, appointed by the President
EAST winter, has disorQanized the
VIII ,le office Although Mr. Stillings
mas been In charge of the government
printing Office less than year. he has
had NOR trouble with the employees
than ALI tbs predecessors in office have
had in 20 wears. As disorgsnizer aud
distrrber he has minifested remarka.
BILE ability and his 1ypncity of doing
the wrong thing is really astonishing.
As consequence. even before the last
ses ion Of congress closed, public bus
,iness began to suffer and keen criti.
scIsm was shot at Mr., Stillings by mem
bers, of congress of both branches.
The situation has grown worse during
the summer and now is little short of
Boleration. The matter will be pre-.
scented to the president soon after his
arrival in Washington. What the out
come may be. Cannot be foretold. Mr.
Sttllings will have to get the results
which the president demanded of Linn
when he appointed him or he will
hav. TO relinq lish his place How he
cau get 'esulfs'' in such circamstau
ces Of chaos as surrounds him now isl
TOO hard conuudrum for the ordinary
mind TO solve. 1t is simply mp to Mr.
Stillings
When the prs ,ident aud Mrs. R1ose-
welt reach the White House they will
find that thu mansiol has undergone
important repairs and renovation. 1t
will oa ~ perfect order and more heau-
tiful than it was before. Notable re-
pairs. amounting almost to recon
stuctio0. have been made in the lower
part of the holse. which has been torn
up for manv weeks. The east and
west terraces have been re'roofed en-
tirely and many changes have been
made in the interiors
Secretary Loeb will not return to
Washington with the president. as
usual. He expects TO leave Oyster Bay
the middle of this month for the yell
low tone Park region on hunting
and hshing-trip. Mrs. Loeb will ar
com oany .him. He probably will re-
sumo his duties about the middle of
October,
