The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-09-02

Judge Nathan Goff is not and will
not be candidate for the Presidency.
Neither does he aspire to a seat on
the bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States. He says he would not
accept a seat IL it were rendered to
him. He is not candidate nor will
he be for the Senatorship. 1t will be
observed that while he emphatically
says that he would not accept a seat
on the bench of our highest court.
yet he does not go SO far as regards
the Presidency and the Senatorship.
Judge Goff plainly leaves the inference
that he would accept either one of
the two last named positions If It
should be rendered to him. The fact
that such is the inference will still
cause his name to be coupled with
those positions. While he was at 1t
instead Of saying that he would not be
candidate for any political position
while holding the commission of Uni.
ted States Judge, he should have said,
as he did OF the Supreme Court
bench, that he would not accept the
Presidency or Senatorship il either
or both should be rendered to him. 1t
would have required but little more
effort to have said this, and then he
would have been entirely out OF all DO
litical calculations. AS 1t is he will
still be talked of for the Senatorship,
for the inference is plain, as above
stated, that he would accept it. II
he wants to be let alone he should
have been more explicit.

First citizen Of the world.

Il =
From the New York Telegraph.j <
Important as the peace of Ports.
mouth Island its Importance to all
the world is not qui6lSly1to be estk
mated-the eyes of all the world to-
day are fixed, not upon the Mikado
or the Gar; not upon NJ. WHITE or
Baron Komura. but upon Theodore
Roosevelt
II is Roosevelt peace. Single
handed and alone he wrought it. The
achievement marks him easily as the
First Citizen of the World.
This distinction is awarded to the
man as much as to the President.
How much his great office may have
helped to the master achievement
may not be known until the clouds of
diplomacy shall have cleared away.
Not little. doubtless. The Presi-
dent Of this Republic speaks with a
great authority in the councils OF the
world. With great and growing au.
thority.
But we have to consider how far
a weak President could have gone
along the lines which have led to this
splendid result. Weakness or cow
ardice. or even respectable measure
of their opposites, would not have
supplied the initiative or the compell-
ing force.
II was Theodore Roosevelt the
man. or his own motion, going far
outside the routine of his duties, he
made the conference possible. The
diplomatic world sneared at 1t. II
was impossible and in plain violation
of all the usages. Theodore Roose.
welt knows no such word as impossible
and has not respect for mere usage.
When the delegates came they at
once fell under the spell of his. mas
terful personality. Some were known
to him and knew him-his strength.
his enthusiasm and his honesty.
There is no reason to doubt that he
became from the start personal fac.
tor II not member Of the confer
ence.
We know that during the delibera.
lions he was in constant touch, not
only with the conferees, but with
their chiefs. None of the ENJOYS
worked harder at Portsmouth than
did Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay. The wires to Toxic and Peters.
burg were kept alive with the cleo
trio energy of the man who had
caused the conference to be. called
and was determined that It should
be success.
What means he employed. whether
compulsion or persuasion. we are
not permitted to know. Perhaps
there was some. of each. Chiefly. we
suspect, he communicated by one
method or another to the contestants
a sense of that tremendous personal
force, that intensity, that devotion to
the end in view which distinguishes
the great man from the small. We
know that difficulties arose day by
day and that day by day the ENJOYS
were on the point of abandoning their
task as one beyond human skill. IT,
was at these crises that the hand of
Theodore Roosevelt appeared, wheth-
er In the council at Portsmouth or
at the court of Toxic or Petersburg.
and then again there was hope.
The master achievement of truly
great mantle greatest in the world.
America is proud of him. Humanity
Is proud Of him. :,-.-- ,.....- : 49,.

gin her first session as instrmctress
IN TWO ladies took passage on the
Juniata Wednesday night in Boston
bound for Hampton Roads. When but
few hours from Boston a five.mast-
ted schooner ran into the Juniata and
stove large hole in her side. They
arrived home yesterday morning on
the steamer Providence
Stateroom on Opposite Side.
Miss Clarke in discussing her ex-
perence yesterday said that she had
just retired for the night. when the
terrible crash came. Fortunately for
her her s.aterocm was on the opposite
side from where the schooner rammed
the Juniata and further than a rather
severe shaking up and fright Miss
Clarke escaped injury.
Miss Clarke gives vivid descrip-
ton of the grinding anu crushing
noist. For second after the crash
everything was excitement, while the
passengers on the steamer ran from
their statcrooms in all manners of
costumes.
Men Proved Themselves Heroes.
Miss Clarke says that the officers
and men Of the Juniata showed great
bravery throughout the terrible ordeal
and tina. they used every precaution in
1uicting the passengers and calmly de-
clarcd that the accident in no wise
would sink the vessel. Tho assurances
Of the officers Guictcd down the ex-
citement and the passengers soon
learned there was no further danger.
AS soon as possible. Miss Clarke
says, the Juniata put back to Boston,
where the passengers were given the
option of proceeding by the Provi-
dcnce line or having their money re-
funded. Most of the passengers, how.
ever, accepted the offer of continuing
the trip OH the Providence line, which
left Boston Thursday night.
Passengers Cheer Crew.
Miss Clarke says that when the
passengers left the Juniata at Boston
they showed their appreciation of the
splendid manner in which the cap
tain and officers of the ship acted by
giving three lusty cheers for the
crew and especially the captain, who
was badly injured. Notwithstanding
his injuries, Miss Clarke says. the
officer showed great concern and
anxiety for the passengers comfort.
