Mr. Loeb in the Cnmnnirn.

II is pretty plain that the faithful Loeb
is not to be allowed TO drop into innocu-
Gus desuetude during the coming summer
OF course. with President Roosevelt
spending most Of his time reading up for
his African expedition and getting ready
for the big-game holiday. it might have
been expected that Secretary Loebs
duties would be fairly light
But It appears that he will find some
thing to do in the matter OF giving out
information to an expectant country The
press has been gravely informed by Mr.
Loeb that "a letter was received at the
executive Office to-day from forme, New
York state senator and Tammany Hall
man. in which he said that ne intended
this year 10 support the Republican nomi-
nee for the Presidency. His name was
not announced" This would Indicate that
there Is no doubt as to the part that the
executive Office will play in the coming
campaign. and IT, because OF the dignity
of the chief magistracy, President Roose-
welt cannot very well afford himself to
give out the interesting items OF political
news-favorlng my candidate" Of course
the case Is quite different with Mr.
Loeb. He, who has so patiently and per
sistently acted as sort Of buffer and
scapegoat, has new duties 20 perform.
the nature of which may be judged by
the statement here quoted.
II is going 10 be very interesting
summer for Mr. Loeb!
