The following from the Youths
Companion is worth preserving: At a
dinner in New York in February, Sec
rotary Shaw. responding to the toast,
The President put some well known
facts in a new way. Speaking of the
office. not of the incumbent, Mr.. Shaw
said:
The president, while properly a
most potent influence in the realm of
ereign has greater authority, and few
have an authority SO extensive. No
sovereign has greater responsibilities,
and few have responsibilities so heavy.
Think what the president has done
in the last six years! The president
has called an army into existence. of
ficered it, armed it, equipped 1t; he has
collected a navy; then, as commander
in-chief of both, he has prosecuted
successfully a wal with results per-
haps as far reaching and important as
any ever waged on the globe.
Then the president, through his Sec
rotary of war, took possession of Gu
ba, paciied it's people, stood guard
and protected it from outside inter
ference and from international conten-
ton while a government authorized by
congress was created, a constitution
adopted, an insular congress elected.
and then the president through his
secretary of war, said:
Are you ready?"
And the answer came: AYE, aye,
sir" the president replied: Hoist
away" and a new flag sprung forth.

PATRIOTIC PEOPLE.

The patriotic demonstrations which
were made this morning in Santa Fe
and this afternoon in Albuquerque in
honor of President Roosevelt, and
which are typical of the attention he
has received along the whole course of
his remarkable tour, are thoroughly
wholesome manifestations of national
pride and patriotic spirit. Among peo-
plies who are not imbued with a high
sense of civic responsibility there is
some ground for the argument that
centralized government is essential to
good order. But no suggestion that a
more personal rule would be beneficial
to the United States will ever find
Judgment in the American heart. The
presidential Office is one of great pow.
er and responsibility. but it is wisely
protected against abuse. for 1t is the
creation of the people and its occupant
is always subject to the will of the peo.
pie.
1t is not strange, therefore, says the
Kansas City Star, hat ever in this
free and Independent land, in which a
rational people has been the basis Of
the most amazing progress the world
has ever known, there should be a
great reverence for the office of the
chief magistrate. This post is the
most honorable to which an American
citizen may be called, and he who oc-
cupies it, so long as he does not betray
the trust vested in him. will receive
the plaudits of the people. Popular
demonstrations may vary in degree in
accordance with the distinction that
marks the succeeding administrations
of the duties Of chief executive, but
under all normal conditions the spirit
of citizenship supersedes that of part
isanship in the attentions shown by
the public to the president.
President Roosevelt has merited and
received the unprejudiced welcome of
the whole community in every place in
which he has made his appearance. He
is a party man, but so far as 1t is posi-
BILE for a president To be nonpartisan
in his acts, President Roosevelt has
represented the whole people. His
courage, wisdom and energy have APP
pealed to all classes. He is, in his in
dividual character and sympathy, a
particularly good representative of the
entire country. His Americanism is

THE VOTING POPULATION.

The following figures representing
the popular vote at the presidential
election since 1880 are interesting in
showing the rapid growth of the vot-
ing population of the United States
in twenty years:
1SS0-Garfield, ~4,454,416; Hancock,
4.444 1852; total, S,S99,36S
1SS4-Cleveland, 4,S74,9S6; Blaine,
4,S51, 981; total, 9,726,96
1SSS-Harrison, 5,493, 1853; Cleve-
land, $40, 3O9; total, 10.980, 1852.
1S92-Cleveland, 5,554,437; Harri-
son, 5,175, 2S7; total, 10, 729, 724.
1S96-McKinley, 7,1O2,272; Bryan,
6,273, 624; total, 3,375,S9
1900-McKinley, 1919, 101; Bryan,
6,357 ,054; total, 1856, 155.
1t will be seen that the total vote in
creased nearly so per cent in twenty
years. The great gain in the vote OF
1896 over that of 1892 was probably
due to the intense interest felt in that
election, while the slight increase In
1900 over 1896 was undoubtedly owing
to the impression which prevailed that
Mckinley was sure of election. The
figures are not encouraging to Mr.
Bryan. 1t will be seen that while the
popular vote against him was over
whelming in 1896 it was worse in 1900
Cleveland had a majority of the pop
ular vote at all three of the elections
at which he ran. Even in 1888 wher
he vas defeated by Harrison he re
ceived 10000 more votes than his op
ponent.
