(By the Editor)
The Review has not gone to the pol¬ itical situation so fur as the fight be¬ tween Taft and Roosevelt is concerned, but there is an item in this month's Student, issued this week, written by "Tree "14," which is one of the best political items of its kind we have seen, and which is well worth reading.
Ok ing to a pleasing rush of late advertising we are obliged to condense our news this week, much to eur regret. *
