PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT declares he
will not be candidate for the office
again. This is wise, and doubtless
sincere. But is not the spirit of this
pledge violated when he affirms that
Mr. Root is his candidate for his
successor, and that he will appoint
nobody to his Cabinet excepting
the champions of Mr.. Root? If it is
not safe and wise for President to
accept a third term, because he
would be tempted to use the ma
chiuerv of his office to secure such a
denomination, is il any safer or more
patriotic to use his office to secure
the success of a friend? To prosti-
