Beverly, Mass, Sept. 14.-The trip to
Panama which President Taft had
planned to take in November may be
given up. It is understood that sew
eral of the Republican leaders have
tried to convince the president that
the political situation at home will
require his presence in this country.
Arrangements for the trip of three
weeks provide for the presidents de-

the November elections.
Next Sunday Mr. Taft will visit Gin

Oct. 1, he will address the National

Back Home Again.

Back Home Again.
Back home from your summer out
ing?" Yes; the comparatively few Of
us who can afford a summer outing
have returned and settled down to the
everydayness of life. 1t is quite pos
sible that too few Of us take a little
time off in the heated season for q
change of scene and a period Of rest
or recreation. President Taft thinks q
two or three months vacation is the
proper thing. and perhaps it is-for the
president of the United States. The
generality of mankind. not holding
such a strenuous job, cannot afford
such long vacation. But the general
ity of mankind. it would seem, ought
to be able to afford week or so every
year away from work. away from
home, out somewhere in the open. get

different. doing things out of the GUS

Vacations have become much more
general in very recent years. All the
great cities have nearby watering
places or country resorts to which
their inhabitants may repair at moder-
ate cost Every town ought to have
some nearby locality that can be made
into a modest summer resort. where
people can spend their vacations with
out spending all their savings. Safe
and sane summer outings appeal to
the best intelligence of the age. 1t is
wise to get into Gods great outdoors
now and then-go fishing, camp out,
live in temporary hut or shack, at
tend an outdoor Chautauqua encamp-
ment or even spend a week or so as a
boarder at farmhouse. Rest does not
mean rust. 1t means identification.

Committee IN BAD TANGLE
Chairman Nelson Adjourns Meeting Of
Ballinger Probers.


Minneapolis, Sept. 10.-Using his
power as chairman of the Ballinger-
PinchOt committee, called to meet at
the West hotel, Senator Knute Nelson
adjourned the committee meeting un-
til Tuesday, Sept. Is, when the men,
bers are directed to meet in Chicago
at the Auditorium Annex hotel at 10
o'clock in the morning.
Senator Nelson was the only major
ity member present when the COM
>mittee met. He presented state
ment saying that Representative Ohm
sted of Pennsylvania would not be
able to attend. He said that Senator
Root could not reach Minneapolis be-
fore Tuesday. He therefore asked that
the committee adjourn until next
Tuesday.
The Democratic members replied
that they were there to do business
and a quorum was present and that
they saw no reason for further delay.
Then Senator Nelson suggested that
they adjourn to meet in Chicago next
Monday, where they might meet Sen
,ator Root This proposition was also
declined by the Democratic members.
Shortly before noon Senator Nelson
left the committee room and half an
hour later the notice of the Chicago
meeting was served on all the mem
bers at present in the city.
Following this action the minority
members held another session, decided
not to attend the Chicago meeting and
made public their findings in the case.
