WASHINGTON. - The Roosevelt
w tennis cabinet" is to make one
more bid for public recognition before
it takes permanently to the shelf
where it was laid upon the departure
of it's chief from the White House
Two of it's most prominent members
in the persons of James Rudolph Gar
field, late secretary of the interior
and Clifford Pinchot, chief forester OF
the department of agriculture, have
put their heads together and the
fruits of their conniving will be a
large and interesting volume entitled
"Roosevelts Administration"
1t is whispered about Washington
that other members of the now IA
nous aggregation of comparatively
young federal oficehOlders and all
around hustlers from all walks OF
life whom Mr. Roosevelt invited by
successive stages to his council room,
luncheon table and tennis court, are
preparing to give the public some in
side facts concerning the great seven
years of the administration recently
closed. Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. PinchOt,
however, are the first to be actually
discovered at their task.

ing of the forests of the country has

Congressional Club Losing Members

gloom into the hearts of the would
be's" who have lately come to Wash
ington to preside over congressional
homes and had been led to believe
that membership in the COMPRESSION
al club would fling open to them the
doors of every smart household in
Washington.
1t is matter of the clubs history
that the ultra-smart women in the con-
gressional set joined the club in the
beginning because they were persist
emily urged to do so in order that
their names might give the Organi-
zation something of the social stand
ing 1t needed. These women freely
paid the SO entrance fees, with mani
testify no intention of hobnobbing with
the women who came from many
rural districts throughout the coun-
try and jumped at the chance to be-
long to the club.
That the really smart women in the
congressional set at Washington do
not care a rap for the Congressional
club or it's success has been made
plain. True, they have been induced
on rare occasions to visit the club
rooms, but only when some particular
ly important affair has been given
as, for instance, a tea in honor of
the president and Mrs. Taft, shortly
before Mr. Taft was inaugurated.

TILTRA-SMART women in the con-
~ gressional set in Washington have
virtually withdrawn their support
from the Congressional club, and the
organization faces either extinction or
humdrum monotOny, which nobody
dared to predict when the club was
formed just before the close of the
last session of congress.
Trouble has been brewing in the
club these many months, but it was
formally brought before the body only
at the last meeting, just before many
of the officers were about to leave the
city for the summer. 1t came to
crisis when certain members failed to
pay their annual dues. As the club has
leased a fashionable home in K street
and the rent man and the grocer have
to be dealt with before long, dues are
a matter of vital importance.
Behind this practical phase of the
situation lies another, which is casting

THE LIQUOR CURSE
IN COLLEGE LIFE.

Prohibition Sentiment Growing Rapid
ly Among University Men.
College men throughout the country
are enthusiastically coming out fol
the Prohibition movement. Thousands
Of them are already enlisted under the
banners of the Intercollegiate Prohlbl-
ton association, and large number OF
college men will engage in practical
Prohibition field work during the com
ing summer.
No recent popular movement has at
tracted so much interest and won such
hearty Endorsement among the young
college men of the nation as the battle
against the liquor traffic.
There are two reasons for this. One
is that the Prohibition movement ap-
peals to the ideals and practical good
sense Of the open minded undergrad
uate; the other is the fact that the
drink curse is In startling evidence in

The book will contain complete
and detailed account of the things
done at the White House the last four
years of Mr.. Roosevelt's occupancy OF
the Office of president. There will be
fairly definite account of what took
place in the inner councils of three
years previous. for although the ten

in its organization until some time
after Mr. Roosevelt's presidential ca

President McKinley's so-called "kitch-

Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and had
become a captain when honOrably
mustered out of the Third United
States volunteer infantry, at the
end of the war.
In June, 1904, he married Mile.

daughter of Sir Charles Halle, a dis
tinguished English musician. Before
the marriage Mr.. Sartoris joined the
Catholic church.
The origin of the feud in the Grant
family is not related by those of the
ex-president's descendants who admit
its existence. 1t is asserted, however,
that the quarrel has been on for some
years, and that the family is divided
into two bitterly hostile camps. AT
the head of one faction is Mrs. Nellie
Grant Sartoris, favorite daughter OF
President Grant and almost idolized
by the American public at the time
of her marriage to Sartoris, the Brit
ish diplomat, during her fathers stay
at the White House. The other fac
ton is led by Gen. F. D. Grant, whose
popularity with the American public
is matter of more recent growth.

Interesting Pair of Glaring Senators

posite sides of the big question, but
they are opposite in temperament,
character, training, and every other
respect
Senator Aldrich punched a few
street railroads in his native state,
sold and resold them until he can
afford to be United States senator
as long as he lives. Senator La Fol,
lette grabbed at fame with one hand
and carved out lecture career with
the other in order to make a living on
the side. He wants money only to
blow it in on his show.
Senator Aldrich has a sublime faith
in the wisdom of men with money,
and he fights for them as he would
for principles. What is best for them
he considers best for the whole coun-l
try. If they prosper and are salts
fed, it follows, according to his doc
trine, that all must be prosperous and
contented Senator La Toilette takeal
the other end of the game. He Is for
the man who has very little money.
for the one who individually works for
every dollar he gets. And they stand
up in the senate about six feet apart
and fight it out along these lines.

Courtesies Exchanged.

Gov. Noel is in receipt of a pleasant
and felicitousIy phrased letter from
Capt. John C. Fremont, commanding the
battleship Mississippi, now at the Phila-
delphia navy yard, in which this gal
liant naval commander gives expression,
officially and personally, to the intense
qualification which he and his staff and
crew feel toward the people of Missis-
sippi, not only for the handsome testi-
monial presented during his visit to
their shores and ports, but for the hos
pitality and cordiality displayed at every
point and stage of the journeyings of
the big ship. Gov. Noel, in acknowledge
ing this communication, took occasion
to assure Capt. Fremont that the pleas
ures of the Mississippi's visit were by
no means one-sided, and that the visit
of the vessel will long be held in pleas
ant memory by all Mississippians.

Of campaign in the future, and for the
present it is announced there will be no
change of system or from the policy
and work had in review and in hand by
the former director. Dr. Lowe has the
following to say: The State is rich in
several lines of undeveloped or partially
developed resources which need to be de-
veloped. The proper function of the sur
vey is to find out our possible resources,
the extent to which and the cost at
which they may be developed, the facili-
ties for development and related data,
and then to properly bring these facts to
public notice-in bulletins for distribu-
ton and in exhibits properly placed"

Urges Soil Survey.

The necessity for an immediate soil
survey of the Seventh Mississippi Dis
trict was urged upon Secretary Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture by
Representative Dickson, who declared
that boil weevil favages had rendered
necessary the cultivation of some other
crop than cotton To ascertain the
adaptability of the soil of the Seventh
District will require careful soil sur
vey, and Representative Dickson believes
that the exigency of the situation in his
district demands an early survey. Secre-
tary Wilson did not hold out any en-
couragement to Mr.. Dickson, for the
reason that nearly the entire staff of
soil experts now is engaged in making
surveys in Northern States, where the
work of the bureau can only be done
in the summer months. He promised,
however, to send experts to the Seventh
District at the first opportunity. A sur
vey is now being made in Representa-
tive Gamblers district, and if possible
Representative Dickson will have the eX-
perts now engaged in that field sent into
his own district when they shall have
finished their task.

Institute and College. President Whit
fed devoted goodly amount of time
TO studying and arranging for a sue
cessful summer school and indications
from last weeks work are that his de-
sires will be fulfilled. Ore of the most
interesting studies being pursued this
summer is that of agriculture, which 10
handled by Miss Frances P. Hooper, OF
the college faculty. The college has a
model farm, which is under Mr.. Whit
fields personal direction, and in its pres
ent condition it furnishes good subject
matter for the study of agriculture.
Practical demonstrations are under way,
and many new, valuable ideas will be
cleaned from the work.

of June. The balance on hand at the
beginning of the monthly period was

or the month $2,3OO1o, but the board
sold debentures to the amount of $780,
600, making total receipts $241, S2O.S9.
Very little levee improvement work
was carried on during the month, owing
to high water, the disbursements amount
ing to only S8,3OS.97, leaving balance

Crop Outlook Discouraging.

The prospects for the State making
anything like a remunerative or average
crop of either cotton or corn are still
dubious. Superintendent highlands, of
the penitentiary, who has been making
crops year in and year out for score
or more years, declares it to be about as
sorry an outlook as he can recall, and
the State farms of which he has general
charge are all very backward, with little
prospect for paying crops.

NAV Consider General Legislation.

Gov. Noel is up against the question
of whether to let loose the flood gates
and permit legislation of all kinds to be
considered at the approaching session,
or to limit the lawmaking body to the
consideration of revenue and appropria-
ton measures, as provided by the consti-
tuition. No bill of any kind, aside from
revenue and appropriation measures, can
be considered by the lawmakers at other
than the quadriennial general sessions,
unless recommended by the chief execu-
tive. While he has announced no con-
cusion on the subject, it is the general
belief that the governor will let down
the barriers and permit the lawmakers to
consider all subjects on which bills are
introduced.

Curtailing Lumber Output.

A gradual curtailment of the lumber
output is taking place in South Missis-
sippi and it is very doubtful whether the
present ratio of timber cutting will ex-
coed 60 per cent. of the normal. The un'
satisfactory condition of the market is
the chief cause of curtailment. Coupled
with this is the fact that the Mississippi
Pine Association and the Southern Vel
low Pine Manufacturers Association
have been waging an aggressive cam
paign to reduce the output by at least
one-third, in order to strengthen the
market.
