Another Messenger to Mr.. Roosevelt.

History, in a measure, is repeating it
self. Again special messenger de-
parts to meet Mr.. Roosevelt. and give
him before he reaches home an ac-
count of things political that have
happened in his absence.
1t was clifford Pinchot who per-
formed the first mission. He journeyed
to Italy and communicated with Mr.
Roosevelt about happenings at home
during the 1atter's long hunting stay in
Africa Conservation was the theme
of their discourse. and the Taft ad-
ministration's record the illustration.
Mr.. Roosevelt had left home a re-
publican, and was still a republican
He remained a republican until two
years later. when, after failing to dis
lodge Mr.. Taft as the leader of the
party, he seeded and established
party of his own. BY that time Mr.
Pinchot and his friends had found
other objections to the Taft regime, and
supported Mr. Roosevelt in assaults
on 1t.
The messenger this time is Theodore
Douglas Robinson, a nephew of Mr..
Roosevelt, who will meet his uncle in
Spain, and describe to him existing
political conditions in New York. Mr.
Roosevelt left home a bull mooser. and
presumably is still one. He will prob
ably return of that faith, and in some
way direct the bull moose activities
in the coming campaign. Whether as
rowing stumper going INTO many
states, or as his party's candidate for
Governor of New York and combining
himself largely to that state. is not now
known. 1nterrogated on the point on
the eve of his departure, Mr.. Robinson
declined to venture an opinion.
If anybody had predicted in 1910 that
Mr.. Roosevelt would head bolt from
the republican party two years later
and by doing SO give the victory to the
democrats he would have been char
acterized as either joker or
dreamer. And yet that very thing hap
Jened. After angrily protesting against
the use Of his name in connection with
further service in the White House. Mr..
Roosevelt whipped completely around.
encouraged the men booming him for
President attended the republican ma
tional convention. tried to stampede it
In his own behalf, and, failing, or
ganized a convention of boilers and ac-
eepted it's presidential nomination.
There are politicians today who in
their forecasts give Mr.. Roosevelt but
two years more of life as bull
mooser. They predict beggarly show
Ing by the bull moose party in this
years campaigns. and the party's col
lapse soon after. They figure that by
1916 Mr.. Roosevelt will have returned
to the old republican home. eager for
the prodigafs meal of veal. and full of
promises for the future If properly
served.
Are they right? Willing as Mr. Roose-
welt may be to resume his old affilia-
lions. is 1t easy. is 1t possible. to be-
heve that the republicans would ac-
cept him for leader again on any terms?

The Calvert Street Loop and Bridge.

The public utilities commission has de-
cided that there is no present need Of a
change In the location of the Calvert
street loop Of the Capital Traction Com
pany or any extension of the through
service. Representative Madden, writing
as a resident of Washington, and not
as a legislator, declares that there is
need of additional service. and proposes
to continue his efforts to secure it. The
outcome of this endeavor will be worth
watching. 1t is inevitable, judging from
the course of developments in traction
service in this District, that ultimately
the loop will be removed to a point
farther out and that there will be an
increase in the through service. Just now
the commission holds that the time for
the change has not arrived. 1t Is the
arbiter in such matters. made such by

A welcoming arch and the closing of

part in the convention.
Prohibition and Suffrage.
Just how far they will get with it is
the problem, but some of the Polk

they intend to land somewhere with a
prohibition plank. John r. Hamilton,
nominee for governor, said he did not
