The official statement sets out that Mr. Roosevelt will pay his own personal traveling expenses, for the fun he will’ derive from shooting big game, but as Kermlt 1s to be the official pho- sographer, his expenses will come out of the appropriation. This In- stitution is maintained by interest onafund held in trust by the gov- ernment and by annual appropria- tions from congress, The position is well taken by some that the Smith- sonian is @ government Institution, and that an appropriation for a hunting expedition for year’s junk- eting for Mr. Roosevelt, the then ex- president, will have to come out of the government appropriation, that congress ought, and’ possibly will, have some things to say about the proposed appropriation for , that purpose. It now looks as ff the prestdent’s proposed hunt for big _game at the expense of the people may become an {esue in congress. ———SSEEEee The second session of the Sixtiesh Congrees convened at the national capitol on monday.

But suppose the ex-preeident should escape such a delightful fate, then what {s to become of the ex-preeident and the precedent? County Court convened on Mon day with all members present.
