THE ANSWER.

M r. ROOSEVELT may well feel
4 happy This morning. He became
President, not by the votes Of the people,
but as the result OF tragedy which re-
moved his chief He has nearly served
out the term for which Mckinley was
elected and his administration has re-.
ceived an endorsement that no other
president has been able to commend.
The New York World attributes the
result to Democratic mismanagement and
stupidity; and yet We have heard the
boast that the Democrats were Mt last
united and militant There is yet some
thing that needs TO be taken into ac-
counting, and we think this is IL;
The American people by vast ma.
ioriiy were in sympathy with the policies
Of the Roosevelt administration. Ii it
was the "big stick" policy, they liked it,.
If IL represented imperialism, they ap-
proved. Ii we had "a man on horseback. 70
they wanted him to continue 70 ride.
Undoubtedly the people generally are
satisfied with om Philippine policy, en-.
thusiastic over prospect Of an lsthmian
canal, reioiced that we are 10 maintain
an adequate army and navy, and content
with the policy Of protection
And to show their sentiments, they not
only gave the administration the en-.
dorsement of their votes, but they elected
