arose this morning apparently none the
worse for his 1900 mile Swing around
the circle" This morning he delivered
the principal address at the opening
session of the laymen's missionary
movement. He leaves this afternoon
for Middletown, Conn, and Hartford,
Conn.,, but he will be back by noon
Saturday, and Monday expects to
plunge into work.
President Taft is back in "just about
as good condition" as when he left the
capital Aug. last, as he told COM
mittee OF citizens who welcomed him as
he stepped from his train at the union
station at $3.50 last night. The historic
swring around the circle has been COM
pleted without mfshap, and now for
the serious work in preparation for an
important winter-the big legislative
program, the filling of many vacancies
in high places, the settlement of many
departmental policies and plans looking
ahead to party welfare in coming elec-
tons.
All the cabinet members. together
with Secretary Carpenter. General
oliver, the assistant secretary of war,
Chief Willkie of the secret service, Uni
ted States Marshal Palmer, District
Commissioner West and Major Sylves-
ter, superintendent of the metropolitan
police, were at the station to receive
the president.
Work and Politics Ahead.
The fine physical condition of the
president impressed all who saw him
He walked the long flight of stairs
without exertion and, surrounded by
detectives, he crossed the wide plat
form, where behind the fence several
hundred enthusiastic citizens had as
sembled, cheering him Justify.
Altho the president will leave Wash
ington again this afternoon for Con-
necticut, where he will attend the in
stallation of President Shanklin' OF
Wesleyan College and participate in the
dedication OF. an armory at Hartford on
Friday, returning to the White House
Saturday morning, and while he will
spend two days next week away from
the camp in attendance at the Norfolk
deep water ways convention and on a
visit of inspection to Hampton insti-
tute, he is, to all intents and purposes
that important matters will be taken
up early One of the first things un-
derstood to be on the schedule is a
general conference with members of the
cabinet and consideration of some OF
the most pressing matters that have
developed since the president has been
out of full touch with his advisers
That the recrudescence of the Bal.

signs of assuming more sensational
features than originally appeared, is
likely to form the subject Of early con-
sideration is believed in well-informe
circles. There are other matters which
members of the presidents officia

Politics in BaiIinger Case?
An effort is being made to have it ap.
pear that so-called attacks on individ-
uals connected with the administration
are designed to embarrass the admin.
istration as whole, and there is dis.
position In certain quarters-or a pro
fessed disposition-to attach great po
litical significance to the motives tina
are declared to underlie said attack.
The Ballinger case is one in point 1t Il
said that unofficial attacks aimed a
other members of the administration
together with some that seem to b,
anticipated, are inspired by common
purpose, the true animus of which will
be developed a few months later, whel
the political pot gets to boiling ant
<seething preliminary to various con
.vention and campaigns that will shap
the next and succeeding big battle be
tween the parties.
1t undoubtedly will be put up t
president Taft to judge whether ther
be any actual conspiracy to discredi
his administration with the possible in
tention of bringing Theodore Roosevelt
back ipto the national political arena a
central figure three years hence am
to act accordingly.
Not long ago it was the fight Of
Cannon" that inspired his friends AN,
managers to proclaim that the secre
Roosevelt movement was at the bot
tom Of 1t all. Now the attacks on Bal
linger, the latter personally going s
far as to intimate wider and deeper
motives than appear ON the surface
Anticipated attacks in certain othe
quarters bring out advance intimat tion
of wider and deeper" motives than tn
persons directly involved are able t
assaults on them personally.
