Roosevelt Writes of the
Duties of the President

In an article written for the Youths
Companion. Theodore Roosevelt gives
his ideas of the duties and responsible
tiles of the President of the United
States. Mr.. Roosevelt wrote the arti-
Gle in 1900, while he was Governor
of New York. and previous to the Re-
publican National convention which
nominated him for Vice President.
In it Mr.. Roosevelt says:
The President of the United States
occupies a position of peculiar import
ance. In the whole world there is no
other ruler-certainly no other ruler
under free whose power
compares with his. OF course, there
is the enormous personal factor Of
the incumbent himself to be consider
ed entirely apart from the power of
the Office itself. This is merely an
other way of stating that in any Of
flee the personal question is always Of
vital consequence.
"The Senator's are the expert con-
stitutional advisers of the President.
The Secretaries who form the Cabinet
advise him on matters of general pol
ity when he so desires it, With the
Senate the advice and consultation are
obligatory under the Constitution. The
Senate has no right to dictate to the
President who shall be appointed, but
they have an entire right to say who
shall not be appointed, for under the
Constitution this has been made their
duty.
although many men must share
with the President the responsibility
there is upon him always a heavy
burden of responsibility. 1t is easy
enough to give a bad administration,
but to give good administra ton de-
mands the most thought, no less than
very unusual powers of mind.
''There is every reason why the
President should be held to a sharp
accountability alike for what he does
and for what he leaves undone. But
we injure ourselves and the nation If
we fail to treat with proper respect,
the man who, in the highest office in
our land, is striving to do his duty.

| We have had Presidents who have
acted weakly or unwisely In particu-
lar crises, but we have never had ons
concerning whose personal integrity
there was so much as a shadow of
suspicion Appointments and policies
which are normally routine and un.
important may suddenly become of
absolute vital consequence.
"The War department was utterly
neglected for over 80 years after the
Civil war. Neither the regular efaees
nor the regular soldier takes any part
in politics as a rule, so thar the dspa.
gogue and bread and butter politio4sn
have no fear of his voteI and 10 both
of them, and also to the cheap, ssnsa-
tional newspaper, the army offers a
favorite subject for attack. So II often
happens that some amiable people real
ly get little afraid of the army and
have some idea that it may be used
some time or other against our liber-
ties. The army never has been-and,
l am sure, it never VIII or can be-a
menace to anybody, or aught but q
source of pride to every good and far
sighted American.
When an emergency like that caus-
ed by the Spanish war arises the Sec
retary of War becomes the most i'm
portant factor.
Altogether there are few harder
tasks than that of filing we'll and
ably the office of President of the
United States. But If the man. at the
close of his term, is able to feel that
he has done his duty well he has the
satisfaction of feeling that he has per-
formed one of the great world tasks,
and the mere performance is in itself
the greatest of all possible rewards"

BIG ELEVATORS
For Handling Freight Being

Two of the most expensive freight
elevators ever placed in an Akron fac

class of direct electric elevators and

steps in these matters will be taken
soon, and it is likely that work on the
buildings will be commenced about
the first OF the year. 1t is believed
that If the enterprise is managed prop

very first, with the possibility OF be-
coming a source of revenue for the
city later. The returns will be In the

addition being built to the plant of the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. The
Haughton company has been keeping
two men busy in Akron, installing
freight elevators. This good trade
is the result Of the great satisfaction
given by the Haughton elevators
wherever they have been tried in Ak
ron. The Haughton company is an
independent concern and the success of
its work keeps it in the very front
rank and its stock is always above par.

AMENDMENT TO
THB TARIFF BILL
Senate Committee on Philip
pines Considers Measure
Duty Is Reduced 25 Per CCnt.-All
Amendments Suggested by Re-
publicanS We're Adopted

Washington, Jan. 17.-The senate
committee on the Philippine Islands
yesterday had under consideration the
house Philippine tariff bill, but upon
the request OF the Democratic mem
bers for more time adjourned until
next Monday, without reporting the
bill
All the amendments suggested by
the Republican members were adopt
ed. The most important of these
amendments reduces to the extent of
25 per cent. the rate OF duty collected
upon Philippine articles coming into
the United States, and also provides
for n further reduction equivalent to
the export duty charged on such ar
ticles when shipped from the Philip
pines. The 25 per cent. reduction is
accomplished by providing for the
payment Of rs per cent. Of the duty re-
Qulred by the Dingley tariff act. The
provision concerning the export duty
is as follows: "The rates OF duty
which are required hereby. TO be lev
led, collected and paid upon products
Of the Philippine archipelago coming
into the United States shall be less
any duty or taxes levied, collected
and paid thereon upon the expectation
thereof from the Philippine archi-
pelago, as provided by the act of the
United States commission under such
rules and regulations as the secretary
OF the treasury may prescribe"
Another amendment permits the
employment of foreign vessels in the
inter-island traffic, as we'll as in the
traf!c between the United States and
the islands. Still another, custody
and control of the officers Of the GUS
toms. upon which duties have been
paid. shall be entitled on shipment
to the Philippine Islands within three
years from the date Of the original
arrival to a return of the duties paid
less ] per cent, and merchandise upon
which duties have not been paid may
be shipped without the payment OF
duties to the Philippine Islands with
in said period. under such bonds and
regulations as may be prescribed by
the secretary Of the treasury.
Senator Lodge chairman Of the
committee, expressed the opinion after
the committee adjourned that a report
on the bill would be secured at the
meeting Monday. lie also said tha
the total reduction made by the com
mittee on Philippine sugar cominl
into the United States would amour
70 about 35 per cent.
The Democratic members of tn
committee did not suggest any amend
ments. but it is understood that the
will press for a still further redu'
f tion of rates.
