C, Oct. 12, 190R. There have been few seasons in Washington so devoid of interest as is this ante-Congressional period, the autumn ol 1008. Interest cen ters in the coming election, now less than four weeks oil. The President's return to the While House and his plunge into the midst of the campaign has been discussed and is no longer a sensa tion. Mr. Taft's election is ex pected by people in official life but it cannot be denied that there is a tinge of anxiety owing to what ap pears to be an apathetic, all pervad ing indifference throughout the country. The fact that the better odds are in tavor of Taft is .some what reassuring to pessimistic and skeptical Republicans. Every ef fort is being made to arouse the enthusiasm or the fear that it is hoped will bring out voters 011 elec tion day. It is well known that the Republican party is losing from two sources and losing all along the line from Maine to Mexico. These two sources are the labor vote and the colored vote. It is pointed out that the calling of the Chief of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers and the head of the Longshoremen's Union and other men distinguished for their official positions in the ranks of la bor, for conference with the Presi dent at the White House, is evi dence of anxiety on the part of the most distinguished promoter of the Taft campaign. It is known that anger signals are flying as a warn ing to Republicans in all the cen ters of population throughout the country. The fact that the situa tion requires the care and manipu- ation of that most astute master of politics, that mover of statesmen, that martinet of the Republican party, that wielderof the Big Stick, is giving great encouragement to those who hope for a complete change of administration and not merely for the substitution of a rep resentative of the Roosevelt poli cies. The Republican campaign niana' gers are dai.y niing tnrougn tne Vv lute House, making their reports, receiving commands and directions which it is expected will enable them to increase their effectiveness A week or two ago, there was much talk of the President's taking the stump. Then there appeared to be an inspired report through becreta ry Loeb that he would not take the stump, but now there is a revival of the rumor and indeed there ap pears to be an occasion for a charge with the forlorn hope.' He is. of course, tne most strenuous tuing in the party as well as its most export strategist and his presence on the stump would draw, even if it did not convince. It is argued that since Mr. Roosevelt is not his party'! nominee, tnere wouia De no impro prietv in his taking the most active part in tne campaign. 11 11 is per nussible tor the President to write letters and engage in argument with the opposition with his pen, why may not he use his voice with the same propriety ? The fact of it is that it is thoroughly unconven tional and without precedent for the chief office holder and president of the entire country to become partisan or party advocate. Evervbodv "who is who" as the saying is, has returned to Wash ineton. The social season nas not yet opened but there is much in formal sociability. Last week the President and his family attended the theatre where the latest play of the famous Jewish author and play wright, Zangwill, was produced In this olav. the author lias en deavored to promote the amalga mation of the Jewish race with Christian races an apparently im possible task.

Overworked Plea Insanity Dodge In Murder Triad to Murder. Incentive The Sunbury "Item" makes the timely observation that "the insan ity plea is being so industriously worked in behalf of murderers who have no other possible defense for their crimes that if juries generally are impressed by the plea it will be necessary to erect a large and ex pensive asylum for the alleged homicidal insane. A.s every acquit tal of this character is an incentive to new murders, there will be a constant and increasing procession of manslayers from the courts to the asylums. The insanity plea is being overworked. The Milton Record says that about 35,000 people " attended the Milton fair during the three days.
