Sounds like the same old story. When

II will be the duty Of each cabinet officer
to hand in his resignation, II President

be. OF course. I do not know whether

such an invitation. whether would stay
in the cabinet. II democrat is elected
President would surely resign March f."
This was the brief statement made by
Mr.. Wickersham as he left todays cabi'
net meeting at the White House. He
seemed surprised At stories Of his intend
ed resignation. AS pointed out by tn,
Attorney General, all cabinet officers Will
resign should Mr.. Taft be reelected, &c
that he may be free to nominate whom h
desires In the new cabinet. 1t has been
known q long time that Mr.. WfckershaM
has found the duties OF his position most
exActing and thanxless. but his loyalt,
to President Taft has prevented any
thought of resignation before next March
1t is doubtful, according to his friends
IL he would wish to stay In ofncial life
another four years.

tically all of the boxes available last
year have been disposed of. and that a
large number Of the new boxes now being
added have been sold.
Officials Of the association are tubflant
over the situation, believing that II fore
casts the largest attendance at any horse
show given in the capital. The fact that
5000 worth Of prizes are offered, nearly
$1,000 more than was the case last spring,
and that approximately sixty more classes
are provided is believed to be responsible
for the rush for seats.
Thirty-nine boxes were available for the

more than thirty already have been dis
posed of for the coming meet. to be held

MARYLAND SUBURB IN LINE.
Council of Takoma Park to Have
Cleanup Campaign.

That The Stars cleaning-up campaign
is being fruit was evidenced last night
when it jumped across the District line
and extended into the town Of Takoma
Park, Md. The matter was brought UP
at q meeting of the town council last
night and resulted in the health commit
tee being instructed to get busy" and
start a cleaning-up movement in the
suburb.
1t was frankly admitted that there were
q number Of places in the town which
could be improved by such q campaign
and efforts will be made to have condi-
tons changed at once. not only from the
standpoint OF appearance, but from
health standpoint as well. There never
has been q satisfactory service within
the corporation limits for the removal OF
garbage and ashes. AS result the va
cant lots and a number of back yards of
private residences are piled high with
ashes tin cans, rubbish, ETC.. for which
no blame is attached to the householder
or property owner. The council appre-
ciates that 1t is really up to the town to
furnish suitable service, and to this
extent determined last night that a serv-
leo shall be installed and the unsightly
piles removed within the near future.
Vacant Spaces to Have Attention.
Along with the campaign will be a gen.
eral cleaning up Of the vacant lots
throughout the suburbs. This action on
the part Of the council was taken in an
ticipation Of q petition which il now be-
ing circulated through the town for pre-
sentation to the council. requesting the in
stallation Of regular weekly ash and gar
bage, collections. 1t Is understood to
contain up to the present time several
hundred names and before presentation to
the council will bear tho signature OF
every householder in the park. The Pc
tition had not made its appearance UP to
the hour Of adjournment of the council
last night, but this did not, however, deter
the town officials from taking the initia-
tive in the matter.
The mayor and members Of the coun-
ell expressed q desire to assist the citi-
Gems in every way and favored the prop
osition to clean up the town. At the con-
clusion of the discussion the health COM
mittee. composed Of Councilmen H. Z.
