Roosevelt's Future Plans Include Long Foreign Tour
The report repeats that President Roosevelt contemplates a lengthy foreign journey and even leases a London house for a 1909 season. Observers expect him to be a prominent figure abroad, receiving great respect and tributes, with Britain viewed as curious but admiring of the United States leader. Some doubt remains about the length of exile from his homeland. The motive cited is reasonable given beliefs about Tarr's likely presidency.

Conditional Promise of Cheap Cabs Sparks Debate
Thomas D Fry, president of the Independent Hackmen Association, says if special cab privileges are removed and all cabs have equal rights, he would carry passengers for 25 cents a mile. He projects a 19 cent per mile cost to drivers, with 6 cents for wear and tear, and claims a $10 daily profit with two cabs working twelve hours. He argues the public seeks cheap service and supports broader access, while critics note cab drivers often favor high fares for fewer riders.
