NO Cessation OF
WORK MONDAY
Cabinet to Place Liberal coustruc-
ton on Statutes for
One Day.
TUESDAY THE DEAD LINE"

President Taft and his Cabinet advisers
decided yesterday to place liberal con-
struction upon the law prohibiting the
employment by the government Of labor
without pay, and will continue to run
the government Monday as usual, not
withstanding the fact that Congress has
adjourned for the remainder Of the cur
rent fiscal year without providing funds
for the next year. It was decided to
take a chance for one day, July /, but
If the necessary action is not taken by
Congress on that day practically the en-
tire government plant will be closed
down at Monday midnight until money
is appropriated.
This decision was reached following a
pledge made to the President during the
Cabinet meeting by Representative Fitz-
gerald Of New York, chairman Of the
House Committee on Appropriations, that
he has already prepared a joint reso-
luaon which will be introduced in both
Houses Immediately upon reconvening
Monday. Assurances were given that
10th Houses would act promptly and the
resolution would be adopted In time to
reach the President for his signature be-
fore the close Of the regular government
business hours that day. With this as
surance, the executive departments were
Instructed ito pursue their regular duties
Monday. Those that had already Issued
notices to employees that they would be
suspended Monday we're instructed to
amend the notices by notifying the en-
pioyes TO work Monday. but that IL the
required legislation is not passed Mon
day, they will be suspended until It is
passed.

This action was decided upon. on the
guarantee Of Representative Fitzgerald.
on two grounds. First, It was decided
by the Cabinet upon the opinions Of the
loyal authorities Of the Department. and
by members Of the Appropriations Com
mittee, that the desired legislation passes
on Monday would not have to be retroac-
tive 10 include the full day; second, 1t
was held not to be the spirit OF the
law to prevent clerks and others Regular
ly employed by the government to render
service gratis. II the legislation is OBJ
tained Monday. there will be no service
without pay. II il should not be passed
until Tuesday or later, and cannot be
made retroactive. then all who work
Monday will be unable TO collect pay
for their services. Since this situation
is a bare possibility, II was decided not
to require any one to work Monday
against his wishes. So far. there does
not appear to be any anxiety on the
part of the clerks. over this feature,
and It is believed that every one will
be at work Monday as usual
Notwithstanding this agreement. Post
master General Hitchcock gave out
statement following the Cabinet meeting,
in which he took very pessimistiC view
of the situation. He pointed out the
vast extent to which the shutting down
of the government would reach, by Grip
pIing practically all private business. He
declared that failure to provide appro-
priations Monday would be felt by the
whole country.

all he said. will have their pay stopped

MaderO and Mexico.

What has got the Madero govern
ment into this long-drawu trouble was
to be foreseen. No constitutional gov
ernment can hope to stand up and sur
vive under a burden of inexcusable
abuses.
The object of any constitutional gov
ernment is to establish and maintain a
good government. Only by so doing
can it confirm and uphold its status at
home and abroad When Diaz quit
and the Madero rebellion had proved
successful, the present administration
had fine chance, and its opportunities
for good were practically unlimited. Ma
dero has missed this chance He was
not the man for the high and response
bic place into which circumstances, pro-
voked into being through his insurrec-
ton, had placed him. Instead of pro-
claiming an amnesty then and there in
order TO pacify the disturbed and dis
turbing elements in the country and lead
up to law and order rule. he did just
the opposite. Hence Orozco.
His former friend, to whom Madero
had broken all promises, after, so to
say, having succeeded through Orozeo's
shrewd strategy and active aid, was not
the man to put up with such treatment.
Result: Another rebellion. If we are
correctly informed, the very loans
which European bankers made to the
Madero government were owing to
their belief in the concerted pacifying
action of Madero and Orozco."
We do not believe in the oft-repeated
rumor of a near-at-hand surrender by
Orozco, and that in consequence the
regular governnIOt soon will have
everything its own way in our sister
republic 1t does not sound, it does
not look like Orozco, to do this thing
He is a fighter, full of resources, and
has a number of states and districts
with him who hate Madero, and as for
his disloyalty to Emilio Vasquez Gomez,
the alleged head Of the provisional gov
ernment established at Chihuahua, it
sounds just ridiculous and nothing else
Who among the rebels-his own men
will be found, rash or disloyai enough
to lay hands on Orozco, to deliver him
up TO the Vasquistas? What does
Orozco, without whose partisanship and
fighting there would not have been a
provisional government in Mexico, care
for Gomez?
All this sort of talk is ''bosh." Gomez
needs Orozco. Even if the latter
should Surrender" to the former, what
good would there be in their disruption,
when one cannot possibly get along
without the other:
Madero is too shifty to remain long
at the head of the republic, anyway,
and if anything should happen in Mex
,ico City, the two insurgent leaders must
act combined in order to insure sue
cess. Peace is not as near at hand
down there as administration papers
would like the people of this country
to believe

SU M MER
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF "At Good Old SIwaah."

Summer began oficiaIly on the I'D.
but has been doing spring training in
sunstrokes and thirsts for almost a
month. 1t is That quarter Of the year
in which the sun gets up early takes
a position directly over the earth, and
shines on It for sixteen hours with no
time on for meals.
The result is so uncomfortable that
people frequently travel 5000 miles to find
a spot where the sun observes union
hours
Summer comes in very gradually and
quietly like legislation in behalf of the
interests, but can be readily detected by
consulting the thermometer. II the mer-
curry registers 100 degrees and the paint
Is peellng on. II is perfectly safe to
remove ones winter underwear Even
those who have no thermometer and
have to depend on the ice water instru-
ments used by the Government Weather
Bureaus can detect the arrival OF sum-
meT by the affectiOnate and clammy
manner in which their clothes cling to
them. When a mans shoes seem filled
TO bursting with hot, moist feet and
his collar fops down on his neck and
begins 10 trickle down his spine. he can
feel perfectly safe in putting on a straw
hat without offending the calendar. Sum
mer can also be distinguished by the
firm and dictatorial manner in which
a mans throat takes him and leads him
into a drug store or a beer gardin, even
when he is in a great hurry.
Summer lasts in prosperous localities
until the vacation money is exhausted
and in working circles until father be-
gins to eat supper with his coat on.
II is extremely beneficial to mankind
producing more crops in a minute than
winter could turn out in a century. But
like other medicine It is hard to take.
II is especially hard on fat men. After

body win deny that she knows how to
take care Of a convention, no matter
how big, or that the natives there,
though not at all seorning money (they
are not likely to in chicago) have had
the sense to remember that there IS a
future and that exploitation, when
ruthless, in the end is far less remuner-
alive than a milder variety paired with
decency.
Baltimore promised not to put up
any prices during convention week, and
having given this promise coolly went
to work multiplying them. according to
opportunity. The first result was that
the expected muititudes did not ma
terialize, and that, instead of making out
of those who had to come and did come
a fortune, it seems questionable now
whether even the cost of the prepara-
ton for the expected harvest may be
realized. A perusal of the daily papers
demonstrates the fact that many who
had decided to attend the convention
changed their minds when they read
what Baltimore was charging for COM
modities.
All this the city will pay for in the
future. But what we did not like to
believe was that Mr.. Farnan's we'll

when facing the task so ably performed
by the Chicago police, proved them
selves not up to the mark and expec-
tations. The dispatches repeatedly have
told US of the irritation and the angry
bowling of delegates who were not pro-
tected and had to fight their way in TO
their seats as best they could. That was
bad. Taking all these things into con-
sideration, it is a safe bet that our
neighbor will not soon get another ns-
tional convention.

If these few extracts do not fully con-

Church, 1t would be useless TO prolong
the discussion. I might add, for Mr.
Kinks information, that the Hebrew

the cleaness Of their family life. There

Baltimore is not likely to get another
National Convention in a hurry In

that city ever try to get another such
