bility alike for what he does and for
what he leaves undone. But we injnre our
selves 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 unwsely in particu-
lar crises, but we have never had one con-
corning whose personal integrity there was
so much as a shadow of suspicion. APP
pointments and policies which are normally
routine and unimportant may suddenly be-

War Department was utterly neglected for
over thirty years after the civil war.

so 1t often happens that some amiable
people really get little afraid of the
army and have some idea that 1t may be

ROOSEVELT ON THE PRESIDENCY
Article in Youths Companion Written
While Governor of New York,

A dispatch from Boston Yesterday saws:
In an article written for the Youths Com
panion, which will be published next week.
Iheooore Roosevelt gives his ideas of the
duties and responsibilities of the President
OF the United States. Mr. Roosevelt wrote
the artiNe in 1900, while he was governor
OF New Y<rk and previous to the republican
national convention which nominated him
for Vice President. In it Mr.. Roosevelt
says:
THE President of the United States oc-
cuples a position OF peculiar Importance
In the whole world there is no other ruler,
certainly no other ruler under free insti-
Lutlons, whose power compares with his.
VI course, there is the enormous personal
FACTOR OF the incumbent himself to be con-
sidered entirely apart from the power Of
the office itself. This is merely another
way of stating that in any office the per-
sonal question is always of vital conse-
qdence.
The senator's are the constitutional ad-
Vlsers or the President. The secretaries
who form the cabinet advise him on mat
tiers of general policy when he $50 desires
1t. With the Senate the advice and con-
sultation are obligatory under the Con-
stitution. The Senate has no right to
dictate to the President who shall be APP
pointed, but they have an entire right to
say who shall not be appointed, for un-
der sthe Constitution this has been made
their duty.
Although many, men must share with
the President the esppnsiblity, there Is
upon him always heavy burden Of re-
sponsibility. It is easy enough to give a
bad administration, but to give good ad-
ministraton demands the most anxious
thought, no less thansyery unusual pow
ers Of mind.

PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
California's Board of Health Denounc-
ed by Other Boards

The principal feature of yesterdays ses-
sion of the state and provincial boards Of
health of North America at New Haven,
Conn, yesterday was the adoption of set
of resolutions censuring the health authori-
ties of San Francisco for their alleged
negligence in the matter of bubonic plague
in that city.
Prof F. c. Robinson of Bowdoin Col
lege, Brunswick, Me-, presented to the con-
ference a voluminous array of figures as a
preliminary to the resolution. This report
was designed to show that while San Fran
cisco was denying the existence of bubonic
plague, new cases were developing. and
that much was done to hamper the health
officers in preventing the spread of the
plague.
After listening to the report by Pref.
Robinson, the conference passed the follow
ing:
THAT the national conference of state
and provincial boards of health of North
America views with adherence the ire
trievable disgrace of the present state board
of health of California, and pronounce the
grave national concern.
: That the national conference of state
and provincial boards of health of North
America does hereby advise the various
to consider the propriety of calling on the
surgeon general of the United States pub
lie health and marine hospital service to ar.
range at the earliest possible date joint
conference for the purpose of eradica ting
plague from the United States"
1t was voted to send copy of the resolu-
ton TO Governor Henry T. Gage of Callfor.
