DRIFTING.

The newspapers report that during
his two days stay in New York, With
Oyster Bay only thirty-three miles
away, there was no communication be-
tween the Colonel and the President.
The last meeting between these emf
nent men was at New Haven. and it
would be Just rs we'll If they should
never meet again.
If the President had been Pinchot, or
Garfield, or Seth Bullock, or Abernethy,
the case would have been entirely DIFF
ferent; but why should the Colonel
have gone to New York to call on old
Taft? The Colonel Is very busy these
days. and the President has nothing to
do! The people of the country have
been making note of good many
things of late and they can't under
stand why it is that the Colonel should
treat the President with SO much con-
tempt lust the same the President is

state of mind, confident as he must
be. of the good opinion of all his self

because of the humorous potations he
had taken. and the next morning he
