brought against the steel trust?'
It will be interesting to note the
colonei's reply-if it ever comes.

Those who are familiar with the
political history Of the past half cen
fury will remember that it has been
the evil fate of every third party
movement to attract to itself, on the
one hand, the broken-down bosses and
disappointed outcasts from other par
ties, and on the other hand, the sky
scraping Areformerso of SO radical and
extreme a type as to be wholly inn
practicable. That the new third party
is not to escape the bane of its pre-
cecessors is already becoming appar-
ent. Not only is it suffering from the
attachment of the Bill Flynn type of
ex-bosses, but in Illinois at least the
organization has fallen into the
hands OF extremists who are driving
away from it the sincere but level
headed advocates of reform.
The most notable detection here in
Chicago is that of Mr.. Ralph C. Otis,
I; representative business man OF this
city, who was the head and front Of
the Roosevelt movement in its earlier
stages. He was president of the
original Roosevelt league, chairman OF
the third term party's national con-
Eention committee, and one of the
most liberal contributors to the cam
patgn fund There was CONSERVATION
In the new party camp therefore when
he announced the other day that he
could no longer be identified with the
movement Il am through. declared
Mr.. Otis. We started out on con-
sentative lines and we're accomplish
ing a lot of good. But now the radi.
Gals and impracticals have taken over
the organization
That the country generally viii
reach the same conclusion long be-
fore the ideas of November is the
confident expectation of the most ex-
perienced political observers.
And with that conclusion reached,
the reelection of President Taft will
be assured. From every action of
the country come reports that the
candidacy of Professor Wilson is
arousing little interest. That is par |
ticularly true in places where his !
speeches have been heard and his
hopelessly academic view of public
questions made apparent. There
never was any hope Of his election |
except that which arose from the
llvision within the Republican ranks.
That hope will disappear when the
whole country recognizes, as it will T
before snow flies. the utter futility Of
he third term movement.

GENIUS OF TWO NATIONS

London, July 20.-The Pilgrims, the So
siety that brings into association some of
the brains OF Britain and America, mark
ed its first decade of existence by a din
ner at the Savoy Hotel London.
There is no club quite like the Pilgrims,
that calls politician to sit check by jowl
with churchman, novelist with soldier,
diplomatist with financier; and this in the
dinner-table spirit of conviviality and
good humor.
Lord Roberts, fresh-faced. alert and
active, was in the chair, and men of
every sort OF eminence crowded the room.

TO GIVE HEARING
ON BRIDGE PROBLEM
Gen. Oliver and Col. Langftt to De.
eide Question of Draw Spans
Over Anacostia River.

Gen. Robert Shaw Oliver. Acting See
retary of War. will grant a public hear
ing to all concerned. before deciding
tia River, between Anacostia Bridge and
the District Line, shall be equipped with
draw spans 100 feet in width. The hear
ing will be held next week by Col. Lang
fit. the engineer officer. who is chairman
of the board in charge Of the reclamation
of the Anacostia River above the Ana
castia Bridge.
At present the limit OF navigation is
the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge. Should
1t be decided that the Commercial inter-
ests of the city demand the free naviga-
ton Of the river above that point, the
War Department is authorized under the
statutes to require the removal of all
distractions at the expense Of those re-
sponsible therefor. In the case of bridges,
the requirement would be met by the
construction Of draw spans. Should the
structure OF the bridges make this impos-
sible. new bridges might be required.
Two Of the bridges involved are public;
those on Pennsylvania Avenue and Ben
ming Road. The other two are owned
by the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. respectively. 1t is estimated
that draw span may cost from SO, 900
to 100000. according to conditions. The
expense of altering the two public bridges
would lie either with the United States,
or the District, or both.
Should the bridges be considered OBJ
structions to navigation. the railroads
owning bridges would have to bear the
expense of alterations; but IL the changes
were required for other reasons the
