Nobody doubts that Mr.. Roosevelt
will make clean sweep of the present
cabinet. that he will make revolu-
tionary changes in the personnel of
officials holding presidential offices
not alone in Washington, but all over
the country, that he would immedi-
ately enter upon reforms in the war
and navy departments. with both of
which he has repeatedly quarreled in
the past, and that he would revive
questions and issues which have been
partly suppressed by the friends of the
present administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign for the
presidential nomination in 1904, which
he has been carrying on with char
acteristic vigor ever since last March
has committed him to groups of repub
lican politicians all over the country
who have not enjoyed favors at the
hands of the present administration
It is recalled that when Chester A
Arthur succeeded President Garfield
following the tragic death of that pres
ident the first thing he did was to sur
round himself with an entirely new
cabinet. President Johnson followed
the same course after the death of Lin
coin.

Theodore Roosevelt was born in
New York city October 81, 1858. Eight
generations of his fathers family have
lived in New York. From 1862 to the
present time the name has always
been found in contemporary records;
it has figured prominently in the bust
ness, social and political affairs of the
city, while members of the family
have taken active parts in all the wars
OF the country, from the revolution
to the Spanish war.
OF mingled Dutch, Scotch Irish and
French Huguenot ancestry, Theodore
Roosevelt was born in a home of
wealth, but not to a life of idleness.
He was brought up with the constant
injunction to be active and industri
Gus. He was a delicate boy, and sc
his first business in life was to make
himself strong and well. By the time
he entered Harvard he was able tc
take part in all kinds of sports, and
while he never greatly eXcelled il
college athletics, yet he bore his par
we'll and was graduated in 1880 witt
a sound body and well trained mind.
