Roosevelt Belongs to Efficient Type


AS the vigorous trial and prompt de-
cision in the Northern Securities case
are undoubtedly due to the president
our attention is again called to the
kind of Executive who now heads this
government. Mr.. Roosevelt has few
resemblances to any of the men who
have preceded him in Office. He be-
longs to the popular and efficient type
yet he is utterly unlike his leading
predecessor in that type. President
jackson was more original than Mr.
Roosevelt, but the power of his nature
was often used for evil, because he
was wilful and without docility. Mr.
Roosevelt has shown much ability to
learn. It may be Mr.. Hay, Mr.. Knox,
or Mr.. Root who thinks out an in
lellectual problem, but it is Mr.. Roose-
welt who employs these men and large
ly makes their ideas effective. Anv-
body who remembers the tone of his
observations on the Venezuela affair of
1895, and compares it with the moder,
ate and tactful conduct of the recent
complication, will appreciate how Mr..
Roosevelt has ripened. He is no
longer looked upon, outside of Wall
Street and the headquarters of political
bosses, as a danger. He has kept
his energy and improved his Judgment.
He may say one thing about the tariff
or the trusts last year and another
thing to-day, but it only means that
he is going earnestly but cautiously
| along, under the best advice, to ex-
ecute right and extirpate wrong. Mr..
Mckinley had rare tact and so much
ability to learn that he progressed in
a Jew years from silver to gold
from relentless protection to an
enlightened view of protection
but he would hardly have had the
force to do as much as Mr.. Roosevelt
has done, toward capital, toward labor,
toward Cuba. Mr.. Cleveland is one oil
the largest and most honorable figures
in the story OF our country since the
war one who will be much praised
by historians; but he had, with his
courage and bulldog patience, a lack
of tact that limited his utility. He
saved the currency and he raised the
moral tone of politics, but he would
have done more had he possessed Mr..
Roosevelt's adaptability, his readiness
to yield little points in order to gain
large ones, his unexpected but notable
ability to take part in team-play. Il
now looks as if, with six Yeas ahead
the president would leave remark.

ALLEGED BooDLER WILL BE RE
TURNED FROM MEXICO AS AN
ACT OF Comfy.

Washington, D. c., Oct. "a The
state department has arranged for the
return from Mexico to st. Louis for
trial of the alleged boodler, Charles
Kratz. The constitution OF Mexico
making it impossible to surrender fugi-
tives from this country who are charg-
ed with bribery committed prior to the
negotiations of the new extradition
treaty, the state department has call
ed upon the Mexican government to
surrender Kratz as an act OF comfy,
very unusual proceeAngs on the part
of this government. Mexico has a
law allowing fugitives to be surrender
ed under such call even when their
alleged crimes are not extraditable un-
der the treaty.
