The Chicago Tribune reports mixed views on Theodore Roosevelt's handling of forest reserves and Japanese policy.

Some writers call for a conservative candidate to carry out Roosevelt policies. The piece also notes Taft’s growing strength in key states and moderating Rooseveltan support in the far West. The Washington conference agenda and the next International Tuberculosis Congress in Vienna are also touched upon.
