Berlin. Aug. 16.-The press of all sections treats King Edwards visit to Emperor William from the stand roint of being a sign of improved re- lations between him and the emperor and the belief and hope are generally expressed that the visit will have a beneficial effect on the peoples Of both countries, besides putting their polit- ical relations on better footing. The papers, however, avoid all ex- travagant hopes In this direction, evil dentIy trying to keep within the safe minimum of practical results. No- body expects positive political ar rangements but the Cologne Gazette which usually reflects the views of the foreign office. expects the rulers fully to discuss all political questions concerning Germany and Great Britain besides the general position of Flu iopean politics.
 A tone of sincere admiration for the king pervades all the leading articles.

ing upon the denomination Of Roosei

has reached Washington is that a few
days ago the President sent for the
editor OF the paper and talked ave
the matter with him. MI. Roosevelt
said that the advocacy of his renom
nation by the paper was very Ills.
tasteful to him. and asked the editor
to discontinue 1t, suytns Anything yon

in order t o keep the way clear for him
self, in case 1t becomes necessary for
him to show to the will of the people,
and to accept the nomination.
In support Of this theory these men
point to a significant fact, which comes
as part OF the story. 1t is that while
the President was urging the editor
to stop thee "distasteful" advocacy
of his reorganization he referred to his
statement on the night of ais cleo
ton when he declared that under no
circumstances" would he again be a
candidate, and continued that he
couldn't see how he could accept a
nomination after that, do you?" 1t
is the do you" which is held 10 con.
firm the belief that nevertheless
Roosevelt might enter another race
for the Presidency.
The mix-up in Republican politics in
Ohio led to the charge that President
Roosevelt has tnterfered in that State:
contrary to the repeated announce
ment on his behalf that he would not
have anything to do with the SQUAD
bles In any State this year. 1t is also
declared that this interference is dt-
rectIy in the interest of the Presiden-
tial candidacy Of Taft.
The Republican pot is sizzling in
Ohio, and the opposition to the ma
chine is creating complications that
are extremely troublesome to Sena.
tors Dick and Foraker, despite their
alliance of last winter. Up to the
time Secretary Taft made his Akron
speech, to which the Ohio machine at.
Ttributed the defeat of Herrick for gov
ernor, Dick had been avowedly in
favor of the nomination of Taft in
1908. Soon after that, however, SEN
ator Dick changed his mind, and after
his alliance with Forager began to ex-
press the opinion that Taft would not
do under any circumstances.
