Prospects for Social Season Are Bright

ture, but with the White House opened
many of the embassies will follow
suit.
Washington is a great gathering
place for conventions, especially in the
autumn, and this year the season
opened with the tuberculosis con-
gress, which brought together distin-
guished men from all parts of the
world, many of them with their wives
and other feminine kin. This made
necessary a reception or two and many
%luncheons and dinners, and these
started the ball rolling. Although the
ball may slow up when the delegates
depart for their English, French, Ger
man, or other homes, it will be kept
going on the way toward the new year
and a new administration.
Meantime, there will be the official
opening of the White House, with a re-
ception for congress and the introduc-
ton of Miss Ethel Roosevelt into so
ciety. Miss Roosevelt is planning to
have a stream of young house guests
and all the cousins" will take turns
at joining in the entertainments, Of
fetal and otherwise. Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth will chaperon her sister on
most occasions, relieved by her uncle,
Admiral William S. Cowles, who filled
the same genial Office for Mrs. Long
worth when she made her debut.

No Hunters to Accompany the President

used in Washington from the govern
ment service and the monthly check
for 81, 1866 % will be going to some
other man. 1t will be incumbent upon
him to mind his pennies, else, instead
of a trip of profit, it will develop into
one of expense.
President Roosevelt does not yet
know the scientists that are to accom-
pany him. All he knows is that he in
tends presenting specimens of African
animals to the National museum, and
that he has asked that institution to
the specimens and the other to make
notes that will be of benefit to natural
history.
No definite itinerary has been yet
arranged. The president will go
where he can find the game, and if he
fails to find it n place he will go to
another, and when he has found it he
will camp there. The details of the
trip will not be arranged, therefore,
until after he has consulted his guides,
who will not be from the United
States. The caravan will be mustered
in after he reaches the African coast.
Reports that the president has ac-
copied an invitation from this or that
official or dignitary are also premature.
The president has received no invi-
tations and his plans at present will
hardly admit of his accepting any.

FOR ROOSEVELT DYNASTY.
The DEMOCRATIC NLXN

No u~tterance of the campaign has
attracted more attention than the pre-
diction of Congressman Nicholas Long.
worth, the presidents son-in-law, who
in a speech at Rock Island, ILL.,, declared
that after eight years of Taft, it would
be Roosevelt in the White House
again. This u%tterance has caused Re.
publican campaign managers no little
annoyance. The Republican view of
the incident is we'll set forth by the
Chicago Inter Ocean, one of the lead
ing Republican papers in the entire
west. The Inter Ocean said:
The Hon. Nicholas Longworth pro-
posed to 10000 American citizens in
Rock Island on Friday that Mr.. Taft
should be made president of the Uni
ted States for the next eight years and
Mr.. Roosevelt for the eight years fol
lowing Mr.. Taft's second term.
las Mr.. Longworth is President
R%oosevelts son-in-law, his words are
accepted usually as semi-oficial for
the White House. This is the unfortu-
present instance.
The American people are rot look
ing for a lord protector. Even the
most ardent admirers of Mr.. Roosevelt
would not care to make him another
DiaZ.
With some eight years of the presi-
dency behind him next March and
with eight years of Mr.. Taft before
him, Mr.. Roosevelt, according to his
son-in-law's ideas, would be able to
celebrate on March 4, 1925, nearly a
quarter of a century of personal rule
over this republic.
Aside from Mr.. Longworth's plain
assumption that Mr.. Taft's two terms
would not constitute even a substan-
tial interregnum-with which no real
friend of Mr.. Taft can agree-such re-
marks regarding the institution of a
Roosevelt dynasty are not only shock
ing but absolutely damaging to the
Republican candidate and the Repub.
lican party"
Speaking of the Longworth incident,
Mr.. Josephus Daniels, chairman of the
publicity bureau at Democratic head
quarters, said:
The people may take it in their
heads in November to knock Mr..
Longworth's nice family arrangement
in the head by going outside the close
corporation and family monopoly of
the presidency That would be sad
for the s%on-in-law, but good for the
country. The remark of Mr.. Long.
worth shows that long tenures in of.
flee for one party makes those in
power think they w the government.
If for no other reason than to teach
the son-in-law and others near the
throne that this is a republic, the
voters will decide upon a change in
November"

the German embassy. She has a right
to the salary of her husband and to
the occupancy of the embassy in
Washington for three months after the
ambassadors demise. AS the widow
of a diplomat who died in service, the
former beautiful Miss Langham of
Louisville will enjoy a considerable
pension from the German government.
No more sumptuous hospitality was
lavished in Washington than that
emanated from Baron Won S%ternberg

wife. The white ballroom of the Ger
