CABINET MEMBERS
RETURN THIS WEEK
TO MAP OUT WORK
All Are Expected To Submit
Their Estimates BY
October /.

BY the end of this week, which also
is the end of this month, practically
every member OF the Cabinet will have
returned to Washington, and the win
ters business season In the Govern
ment departments at Washington will
commence.
Some Of the members of the Cabinet
may not remain here. but nearly all
Of them are expected. for the rea-
son that under the law they are re-
quired to submit their annual esti-
mates to the Treasury Department by
the first day of October.
The departmental estimates are, per-
haps, the most important questions
tnan come before the department heads
during the year. These estimates are
the foundation for the Treasury budget
recommendation to Congress. and,
therefore, the basis Of all the big
appropriations.
For months each of the departments
has been working on its estimates, but
all Of them are now ready for final re-
view. This will bring the Cabinet offl-
GERS TO Washington. and while they
are here they will inaugurate their win
ter programs of work.
Secretary Of the Navy Meyer will
reach here tonight from Massachusetts.
He has before him a number Of import
take action. The commands Of the var
ious ships Of the feet are to be changed.
the annual winter cruise Is to lie de-
cided upon, and the navy ward reforms
are to be settled. All this Is in addi-

Corporations do not do wrong. In

direct and use them for selfish and
illegitimate purposes. Guilt, as has
been very truly said, Is always personal
You cannot punish corporations. Fines
fall upon the wrong persons, more
heavily. upon the innocent than upon
the guilty.

porations, you throw great undertakings

terprise. am not jealous Of its size
or might, II you VIII abandon the
fatuous, antiquated, and unnecessary
fiction which treats 1t as a legal per-
son, as a responsible individual.
THE big evil to be corrected is the
control of politics and of our life by
great combinations of wealth. Men
sometimes talk as IL II were wealth

In true. America has not the slightest
jealousy Of the legitimate accumula-

turn to take up anew the questions in
volved IN the trust busting program of
the Department. Postmaster General
Hitchcock has been in Washington most
or the summer, but Is now temporarily
away. He will return before the first
of the month.
Secretary Wilson also has already
reached this city, and Secretary Knox
has stated that he would be back for
a few days about the first of the month.
Secretary Mac Eeagn Will De here TO re-
ceive the final estimates from the other
departments.
At the Department of Commerce and
Labor, II Is said Secretary Nagel will
be here on the first of the month. Sec
retary Fisher Is hurrying East and
hopes to arrive in time to go over
the estimates of his department, per-
sonally, before they are submitted to
the Trasury.
Secretary Stimson, Of the War De-
partment, will be absent until about the
fifteenth OF the month. He is In the
West, inspecting army posts. He pre-
pared his estimates, however, before he
departed.
After this week, there will be no more
Saturday half holidays for the clerks,
either. This always marks the ind Of
summer for the thousands OF Govern
ment employees.

PROPHETS THANK
CAPITAL MASONS
FOR HOSPITALITY
Convention Held To Be Most
Successful In History
Of Order.

In spite Of the fact that a much larger
number of prophets and their families
attended the annual meeting of the su.
preme grand council of the Mystic order
of Yelled Prophets, in Washington this
week, than had been expected, Kali
Ipolis Grotto will not lose any money
on the convention, which closed yester'
day.
The various committees have not yet
gotten together and made their re-
ports, but It is known the grotto will
come out even, If not a few dollars to
the good.
The convention, which opened Monday
was the most successful in the history
of the organization The Washington
prophets were required to entertain a
much larger crowd than any other city
in which the organization has met in
former years. Before leaving for their
homes in various parts Of the United
States the visitors publicly thanked the
Washington Masons for the courtesies
shown them during their stay here.
Hundreds of Prophets and their fam
eral days yet. The greater part OF

Kallipolis Grotto, the members OF
which were SO busy during the week
that they had no time to make social
calls on the visitors, performed that
duty last night. The officers Of the
grotto and a score or more members
of the several committees visited the
visitors at their hotels.

We Have Saved You
Something Like 1000

If you know anything at all about
realty values, you will see how impossible
it would be for you to build such home
for cash at anywhere near our price
$4,000. These homes are part of an oper-
alton representing about $50 houses. They
were all planned, constructed, and priced
in conjunction with one another.
In this way we saved on the price of
the lots, on the price of the materials, and
on the price of the construction. All these
savings have been deducted from the pur-
chase price. The minute you see these
homes it will become apparent to you that
here are no ordinary $1,000 structures.
