time, can not possibly ignore it now.
But whether the heads of the various
executive departments will take note
of this condition or whether they will
make their estimates as usual and
pass the responsibility on to congress
is not yet known. 1t will be practically
impossible for congress to put any
new scheme of tariff taxes into opera =
ton in time to meet the situation for
the first half of the next fiscal year,
which means from July 1, 1909, to Jan.
1, 1910. Congress, of course, might
levy some special internal revenue
taxes. but that would be exceedingly
unpopular and would not be under
taken except in a very extreme situa-
ton.
The logic of thei situation points to
a feverish effort at curtailment all
along the line during the late autumn
and coming winter, not as affecting the
expenditures of the last months of the
Roosevelt administration, which have
already been fixed by law but for the
year of the administration that sue
ceeds it.

WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-"The boss
is coming back-get busy!' This is
the, word that has been passed about
among the employees of the White
House, and as a result the cleaners and
busters and gardeners and men of all
work have been laboring overtime
during the last week. The executive
mansion has now assumed a spick and
span appearance and will be ready for
it's occupants when the president and
his family arrive from Oyster Bay
three days hence.
A lot of pleasant official vacations in
September have been cut very short.
The president is returning. All the
others of his executive force must gov
ern themselves accordingly. 1t seems
to have been overlooked that THE pres
ident might return to be present dur
ing the sessions of the tuberculosis
congress- When he departed, however,
it was generally understood that the
White House doors would not swing
open for him and his family till Oct. l.
That was the date of his return last
summer So the big and little official
vacations were builded around that
date.
Postmaster General Meyer formed
the advance cabinet guard Washing
tonward this year. AS he returned
Secretary of War Wright fastened

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, and therefore

Secretary of the Navy Metcalf and
Attorney General Bonaparta are
among the early corners. The former
has been away a long while, and
there is lot of navy business awaiting
his attention. AS soon as the federal
courts begin their October session Mr..
Bonaparte and his assistants will have
quantity of legal business to attend
to. Some Of this must have attention in
| advance. Then there is to be a new
trust buster in charge of that activity
at the department of justice before
| long-Attorney-G General Wade H. Ellis
| of Ohio. In the meantime Mr.. Bona
parte must look after much of that
| work himself. Mr.. Ellis, as assistant to
| the attorney general, must also have a
| little time to look over the pending
| cases and familiarize himself with
| them.
The first official tasks in hand this
autumn after the linen covers have
| been removed from official desks and
the accumulated work disposed of muS
be the preparation of annual reports
and the making up of annual estimates.
The later promises to be an embarrass-
ing task. The revenues are scant. For
the next fiscal year, beginning July I
next, these revenues will plainly be
many millions less than the current
expenditures Of the federal govern
ment. By the time this fiscal year has
passed and another is at hand there is
every promise that the present sur
plus will be pretty we'll depleted.

ulexing one for the next administration

Preparing Fruit
for Big Exhibit

n. B. Wight, of San Francisco, who
has been employed by the ALL
commission of the county, to cake
charge of the fruit exhibit and preserve
the specimens used, has installed all
his working apparatus in the basement
OF the court house and has settled down
to work preparing the fruit for exhi-
bition purposes.
Already many fine specimens If
peaches, pears, prunes, and apples
have been brought in and are in the
preserving solutions. At present, in
the first stage of the process, they are
black and most unlikely looking OBJ
iects to win prizes, but Mr.. Wighe goes
about it in a manner which assures
that he knows his business and there
is no doubt that he does.
1--WE would like to get people here
more interested" said Mr.. Wight today.
We want fruit and there is plnty or
il for the purpose. 1t would be little
trouble for anyone to bring the fruit
co us, while if we have to go out for 1t
it will be an added expense to the tax
PAYERS OF the county. l never saw any

it. In fact we have scarcely begun.
But we are going to keep after it..
The commissioners are enthusiastic in
their work and are devoting their time
without pay to the securing of the
fruic. If they can do that it seems that
the fruit growers ought to be willing
to spare enough time and fruit to nelp
us out. -.
ITO those who will do this, we will
be grateful If they will leave 1t any
