Elihu Root, who. although then but
a few years at the bar, had already
achieved national fame as lawyer.
Elihu Root has been one of the pillars
of the Mckinley administration. 1t is
safe to predict that he will be no less
a power in the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt. When, in the strug-
gle for the Republican nomination for
governor of New York state in the

Roosevelt sought his defeat on the
ground of inelgibility because of non.

work of many a playwright in the past, But
some adaptcs have gone few points farther

'The Volunteer Organist," the story OF which,
with elaboration, has been taken by William b.

The great success of ''fhe Volunteer Organst"

Not a Party Wrecker.

From the New Nork Tribnno'
There Is not even any fear among Republicans
that President Roosevelt will encourage the
growth Of factionaliSm in the party in any pare
OF the country While governor OF New York he
showed no disposition tu reward personal friends
and punish enemies for the sake of strength
cning the one class and weakening the other. On
the contrary, his political course left the party
in the Empire state stronger and more cOmpactly
united than it has been tor wears.

4 n the United States is non
entity. 70 some degree the
same may be said of'the vice. president.
As rLie the most that is ever heard
of him IS during the campaign. We
venture to say that If the average in
telligent citizen were asked to name
the ice-presidents for the past twenty
five years he would find it "A difficult
task, so little is the public mind inn
pressed with the Office a vice. president
fills. He is mentioned but very few
times in the constitution of the Uni
ted States. and then. with but two eN-
ceptions. incidentally with regard to his
election or Impeachment. In the other
instances his duty as presiding officer
of the senate is stated in two lines,
and the fact is noted that in case of the
presidents removal ny death or other
wise he is to serve in place of the
chief executive.
In word, the principal use of "a
vice-presidcnt seems to be generally
that of furnishing campaign thun-
as consolation prize to the dis
affected He is often selected
more from geographical stand
point than for any other reason
or fitness. He is portrayed on cam
paiGn banners and exploited as a great
man for a little time and that is the
end of it,
In no respect is our distinctivcness
as Republic more marked than in the
selection of man upon whom at any
moment may fall the chief executives
responsibilities Under monarchial in
stitutions. long training and hereditary
instinct are supposed to fit ruler for
the throne. From childhood this train
ing Is continued and the instructions
in state-craft and diplomacy are con-
sidered as important as lessons in Ian
guago. We aim to select man pecul-
iarly adapted i'm mind and experience
to be our president but as rule We
take far less care in the choice of his
possible successor. Even after his
election We give him officially no op-
u
with the executive affairs of the nation
He is not member OF the presidents
cabinet. There is no law of even
courtesy which demands that he shall
be consulted on the smallest detail Of
national questions. He does preside
over the senate. Further than that We
make no claims upon his time or abili-
ties.
In the case of Colonel Roosevelt his
selection differed from many others in
our country's history in that by rca-
son of his intense activity and his fa-
miliaritY with great public matters he
was peculiarly fitted to follow as able
a statesman and one with such superb
diplomatic powers as the man whom
we mourn today. Vet even President
Roosevelt will be obliged to ask many
questions in attempting to continue
the policy of the greatest ruler Of mod
ern times.
There are always possibilities that
the president may die in ofiice--Ciod
forbid thar it should ever again be by
the hand Oi an assassin-and surely the
man who must in such an event All this
position should be given every opor-
tunity to boone familiar with every
detail of the administrations policy.
Is it not possible that our wisest
thinkers may soon deem it necessary
to ask for an amendment to the con-
stitution making the vice-presidcnt a
member of the presidents cabinet?
