ed that as the President was advo- eating measures which would call for the expenditure of more money than present revenues would provide he should also tell Congress how the ad- ditional funds. should be obtained. Secretary McAdoo's statement on the subject, and the general reference to it by the President in his address, are construed as willingness by the Ad- rlinistration to concede, in part at least, the justice of the argument ad- vanced by the Congressional leaders.
 It was estimated today that the Presidents address, upon which he was engaged in putting the finishing touches this afternoon, would com prise about $500 or $4,000 words. It will make it a rather longer document than most of those MT. Dilson read to the two Houses of Congress since he became President.

LORD WALLsCoURT

While the great majority of the noble families of Great Britain and Ireland have no reason to be ashamed of the military records of their men, and scores of the younger scions of old families have given up their lives for king and country, few black sheep have developed among them. A notable instance of this kind is that which has saddened the latter days of old Lord WaIlscourt, who is now in his seventy-hfth year. His eldest son and heir, the Hon. Charles William Joseph Blake, was recently tried by court-Tnartial and convicted of being in London without leave from his regiment, the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He was also accused of drunkenness and of conduct unbe- coming an officer and a gentleman Baron Wallscourt's heir fs1o1d, enough to know better, being past forty, but from his youth he was never credit to his family, having been mixed up in many drunken scrapes and unsav- ory scandals. He comes of a family prominent in Ireland since the th1r- teenth century, and is a descendant or Sir Richard Blake, the famous speak CT of the Council of Kilkenny in 164S. The family has it's ancestral seat in Galway. The title of baron was con ferred upon the family in 800, and the present Lord Wallscourt is the fourth of his line. His first wife, the mother of the notorious Hon. Charles, was a daughter of the seventh Earl of Harrington. The dfsgraced officer and heir; to a baronacy married, when he was twenty-two, a young widow, Mrs. Ellen Mayo Boisset, and his treat ment of her has been one of the scandaIous features of his career. Several years ago he was charged with brutality and cruelty toward his wife, and was convicted. During the course of the trial it developed that privately expressed great contempt the Hon. Charles had publicly and for his wife because she was of humble family and was inferior in birth to his own noble self! For years Lord Wal1scourt's heir has been persona non grata among the noble families of Ireland, and his latest escapade occasioned little surprise.

How they arrange their political
Jobs in Arizona is the title of n
little skit, staged by Walter Draw

The scene is laid in an office, with
two entrances In one of the doors
is seen Con Cronin, from Yuma, very
ardent seeker after the position OF
sergeant at arms in the state SEN
ate.
In the other door waits John w.
Weatherford of Flagstaff, ardent
seeker after the position OF ser
geant at arms in the state senate.
Both enter.
The polite conversation of the two
seekers is not necessary in TINS

body not at ease, so he bluffly ana

differences There are always diff

therefore, Messrs. Weatherford and
Cronin resorted to the time honored
method of drawing straWs, and that

heard advocating Con Cronin for the
office of sergeant at arms in the
