It is believed that .Mr. Roosevelt will support Mr. Pmeliot in the Ballinger- I'liichot controversy, but it does not follow that to do that lie will be compelled to criticise the ac tion of Mr. Taft as president. It is even predicted by some ot tin* politicians that Mr. |{...<>.. \, *l l will not endorse 11»«* Tatt ad ministration, but it is not believ ed that he will risk Ins present popularity by openly criticising it Perhaps tin* former president will take middle ground ami thereby keep .ait of tin* political turmoil that threatens to engulf hi** party. —>avannau Press.

He has been in the house seven full jtcfms, and is now serving on his eight, though h** is only IS years old mill looks even younger tltis n that. He is a member of the ways and means committee, is even-tempered and level-headed and, in ease tlmre is a democratic house, may be chairman of the ways and means committee.
