WASHINGTON, April 1. (Special.)
In renewing: the friendship and asso
ciation which they enjoyed for years
iJnd which the campaign of 1912 inter
rupted, Colonel Roosevelt and ex-Senator
Root have taken a long step toward
concentrating the opposition to Presi
dent Wilson in the coming campaign.
This is the judgment rendered here
today by politicians of all parties. That
the two men would bury the hatchet
and resume their old intimate relations
lias been a foregone conclusion for a
long time. No one regretted more
deeply than did Colonel Roosevelt the
break with his former Secretary of
State and War.
Mr. Root was a tower of strength to
the Colonel during his Administration
and the latter relied upon the New
York statesman to an extent little
realized by the country at large. If
he had believed that Mr. Root could be
elected, he would have insisted on his
nomination in place of Mr. Taft in 1908.
As a matter of fact, at that time he
canvassed the situation and reluctant
ly abandoned consideration of Mr. Root
largely because of the view that his
election was not possible.
The one thing that Mr. Root could
riot follow the Colonel on in 1912 was
the proposal for the recall of judicial
decisions. If there is any one man
who stands for the existing judicial
system, it is Mr. Root. If that issue
had not been projected into the cam
paign, it is not at all unlikely that
Mr. Root would have backed his former
chief.
For the Colonel Mr. Root had, and
has today, an intense admiration. The
genius Colonel Roosevelt displayed in
handling foreign affairs peculiarly ap
pealed to a man of Mr. Root's tempera
ment. The two treated foreign affairs
in the same spirit. They thought
alike as to the permanent po""ies of
the country, and they proceeded in
negotiations on the theory that poli
tics stopped at the water's edge, and
that foreign questions should be treat
ed solely from a National point of view.
It is interesting to note that since
the war began, the views of Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr. Root were identical.
Colonel Roosevelt would have protested
against the invasion of Belgium and so
would have Mr. Roosevelt. The Colonel
would have taken drastic action in re
gard to the Lusitania outrage. Mr. Root
would have done likewise. If the Colo
nel had been President at the moment
of the outbreak of the war he would
have asked Congress for tremendous
addition to the Regular Army and Navy.
ir. iigui wuuiu nave taKen tne same
action.
They are agreed as to the mismanage
ment of the Mexican problem and to the
measures which should be adopted to
settle it, just as they are agreed as to
the steps that should be taken in con
nection with Germany's submarine op
trations against merchantmen.
It was inevitable, therefore, that
thinking alike as they do, the Colonel
and Mr. Root would exchange the olive
branches and resume the relations
which were a delight to both.
It can now be said that if Mr. Root
should be nominated for the Presi
dency Colonel Roosevelt undoubtedly
would support him. There is reason
also for the statement that Air. Root
would gladly support the Colonel,
should he be nominated. A bigger
thing from the country's standpoint,
however, is the fact that these two
men will co-operate in the future in
connection with great issues which ex
ist and which arise.
If one or the other should be nomi
nated and elected the man in power
will have the support and advice of
the friends of both. For the Republi
can party the meeting is regarded as
of high importance. Mr. Root has en
deared himself to the leaders of the
party, particularly of the conservative
element. Colonel Roosevelt repre
sents the progressive element. Thev
will be able, it is expected, to ex
change views and thus assure the sin
gle opposition to the President -which
all admit must be manifested if Presi
dent Wilson is to be defeated next No

The Arnold & Windsor print works to

employes arc affected.
THEODORE ECRTON, of Ohio, for
many years a member of Congress
and later United States Senator
from that state, one of the leading Re
publican "Presidential possibilities,"
will be in Oregon three days this
month, if plans already made are car
ried out.
The iays lie will devote to Oregon in
the course of a. speaking trip through
the West in the interests of his candi
dacy for the Republican nomination for
President, will be Agril 17, 18 and 19.
Senator Burton is to arrive in Oregon
over the Union Pacific. His plans call
for lo-minute speeches at such towns
as Baker, Pendleton, I.a Grande and
The Dalles, and shorter speeches ac
cording to the length of time the train
stops at other towns. He is to be in
Portland April 19.
Though the formal announcement of
his speaking dates In Oregon and Port
land have not yet been received, the
Oregon Republican Club following its
policy of holding a meeting for any Re
publican of National prominence who
visits the city, is arranging a. Repub
lican rally for the night of April 19 in
honor of Senator Burton, at which he
will be the principal speaker.
Details of the rally will be announced
later, after definite word has been re
ceived from Senator Burton.
As he announced in Saturday's Ore
gonian he would do, Arthur Lang
guth. Municipal Judge of Portland, yes
terday forwarded his resignation as
State Senator from Multnomah County
to Governor Withycombe. In his let
ter of resignation. Judge Langguth
says:
"I beg leave to tender to you this,
my resignation, as State Senator from
the 13th Senatorial district (Multno
mah County).
"When I sought the nomination and
election to that office I did it solely
to gratify my desires to render such
service to the community as I could,
believing that every citizen who can
serve the public ought to serve at
least to some extent. I count it not
only a duty, but one of the opportuni
ties and great pleasures of my life,
that I was permitted to give to my
state the best that was in me, while
it honored me with a seat in the State
Senate. The privilege of public serv
ice is to be cherished and appreciated
by him whom the people permit to
serve, and were It not for the fact
that I have more than one man's share
of public duties, I should gladly re
main and work with the Senators to
render such service as I might during
the next session of the Legislative as
sembly, and enjoy the distinction of
being least among them.
"After two months as Judge of the
Municipal Court of the City of Port
land, I have concluded that that court
not only affords ample opportunity to,
but demands much of a public ser
vant in being of service to many in
dividuals who find, themselves there;
large numbers of whom are victims
of circumstances, weak or unfor
tunate. Here we touch human nature
closely. Here we endeavor to do the
thing that ought to be done with these
people, settling differences, working
out justice with a view of producing
harmony and happiness. To some, good
counsel and advice is sufficient; to an
other, a helping hand and for a time
some support and close touch must
be given, and out of the very nature
of things, some must be stung to make
them learn.
"It would be physicially Impossible
for me to serve in the State Senate
and attend to mjt duties in the Mu
nicipal Court in Portland at the same
time. It is for this larger work that
I give up the State Senate and re
sign therefrom at this date, so that
the same people and the same primary
who nominated me in 1914 can have
the opportunity to nominate my suc
cessor in May, 1916.
"Appreciating deeply the kind co
operation you, as Governor, and the
members of the Senate gave me during
the 1915 session of the assembly. I
beg to remain. Your obedient servant,
"Arthur Langguth."

to create harmony between employer

the present act should be corrected.
Every endeavor will be directed to

WASHINGTON. April 1. The German
government has informed Ambassador
Gerard that it is without official con
firmation concerning the explosions
which damaged the British channel
steamer Sussex and sunk the British
horse ship Englishman, both of which
were carrying American citizens.
In a dispatch dated Thursday and
reaching the State Department today
Mr. Gerard said the German govern
ment had only newspaper reports on
the two cases and was making an in
vestigation which might be concluded
within three or four days. The Berlin
Foreign Office promised to inform Mr.
Gerard when the inquiry is completed.
It is realized here it may be a week be
fore all the German submarine com
manders who might have been con
cerned have had opportunity to report.
American Inquiry Goes On.
Meanwhile the State Department's
own investigation into the cases of the
Sussex and the other ships which, while
carrying American citizens, recently
have been overtaken by disaster, will
be continued. Secretary Lansing said
today he had received no new dis
patches of importance, but additional
information is expected hourly.
While the situation still is a waiting
one. it is apparent that many officials
view the accumulation of circumstantial
evidence as indicating almost to the
point of proof that German submarines
have violated the solemn assurances
given the United States by the Berlin
government. It admittedly is an open
question what will be done if Germany
finally disclaims any knowledge of the
attacks.
BERLIN, March 31, via London, April
1. Now that discussion on the subma
rine question in the budget committee
of th'e Reichstag has been concluded
and the results published, it is appar
ent that the Conservatives are not
wholly satisfied.
Conservative Press Ilissatisf led.
While accepting the compromise
agreement embodied in the resolution
to be presented to the Reichstag, the
Conservative press shows a spirit of
resignation that is not wholly resigned.
Count von Reventlow, naval critic, is
outspoken in regrets that it is impos
sible to explain publicly why. He com
plains that the resolution leaves en
tirely in the discretion of the govern
ment the manner of employing subma
rines. He adds that only the principle
of the free use of submarines is saved,
whereas there is no guaranty that the
will exists thus to employ them.
