Roosevelt Speaks For Himself.

Speaking of himself, Governor Roose-
welt writes on THE Personal Equation
in Politics in the June number of The
Review of the Republic, and says: I
am a little inclined to envy a man who
can look forward to a long and steady
course of public service; but in my own
case such a career is out of the ques-
ton; and personally it seems to me that
a mans comfort and usefulness are
greatly impaired the moment he begins
to get worrying about how his votes
and actions will affect his own future
When I was in the legislature 1 soon
found that for my own happiness as well
as for the sake of doing good work. I
had to cast aside all thoughts of my
own future; and as soon as had made
up my mind to this and voted simply as
1 thought right, not only disregarding
politicians. but even disregarding peo-
I pie themselves. if I honestly thought
them all wrong on a matter of principle,
not of mere expediency, then 1 began
