dent Roosevelt Will have another
month at Oyster Bay before his vaca.
ton is broken up. According To the
present schedule he will leave his
summer home the 2Sth of September
and reach Canton. Ohio. the 3Oth OF
the month, about noon. In the after.
non OF that day he will participate in
the dedication of that magnificent
monument to the late President Nc
kinley, making the principal address
of that occasion The same evening
he will leave Canton for keokuk.
Iowa, which will be reached October
t After looking over the Mississip
pi at Keokuk the President. accom-.
panied by the members of the inland
waterways commission. will take a
steamer for an inspection trip down
the great river. He will make three
or four stops, among them being
Cairo. st. Louis. Memphis. The Ten
essee city will be reached about the
there the President will start for
Washington. getting here on the 9th
of the month.
Private reports from Oyster Bay
are that the President is really in the
pink of condition and that he has
spent the most restful summer at the
little New York town he has had
since he became chief executive. II
is at least certain that during no sum
mer in the past has the President
seen so few people. II has been as
hard to make an engagement with
him as to discover paying gold mine
in Texas. Secretary Loeb received
positive instructions from the Presi-
dent that he was to keep everybody
of. making mighty few exceptions.
and he has done so, even TO the eX.
! tent of adding enemies to the list he
already had. The President, however
has benefited. He has had a good
rest and quiet and that Is what his
| friends and physicians told him he
must have when he left here. The
truth is that the President left wash
| igton in a run down condition. He
was not exactly a sick man. but his
hard work had begun TO tell upon his
nerves. Many people saw it, too and
it was surprising that stories of his
alleged Illness did not get out among
| yellow papers. The robustness and
strength OF former years were SLOWLY
\ giving way under the additional years
and the strain of planning and carry
ing out big political schemes.
There We're other reasons. too. fol
wanting a long holiday at oyster Bay
The President irad given his wore
that he would not he a candidate fol
another term. II he had been activ,
at Oyster Bay and held conferences
with politicians he would have beer
charged with scheming for his renom
ination. The fact that he is freel!
charged with doing that because HI
Is keeping quiet does not worry hin
so much. He is at least doing moth
ing openly TO bring to focus the de
mand for his accepting the nomina
tion next year.
The Western trip of the Presiden
will be the last one he will make un
I'll he ends his term as President, un
less Secretary TAFT should be nomin
ated by the republicans, in which
case 1t is a practical certainty tha
the President will make number o
speeches in his favor.
Should Mr.. Roosevelt be nominated
he will not make n single speech, fol
lowing the example of 1904. The
presidents reasons for making M
more trips is that he might be accus
ed of pushing himself for another
term. By remaining in the White
House and pushing along Legislation
of n reform nature he viii have his
hands fnll and at the same time vii
be in daily touch with the people o.
the country.
The coming "Trip of the chief eXecu
tive will be watched with keen inter
est by politicians. To some extent Il
will determine whether the President
is as popular in portions Of the Wesi
as is claimed While he will not cross
the Mississippi far enough to get
among those who are said TO believe
so strongly in him he will be in the
middle West, upon which he will have
TO depend for votes should he be nom
mated for a third term.
