ORGANIZES FOR
SWAYNE TRIAL
SENATE MAKES PREPARATION
FOR HEARING
MI. Plat Of Connecticut Is Chosen to
Preslde--The Sergeant at Arms
Leaves to serve Summons
on Judge
IN As..clal.d prasa

IVY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2L-The senate
today took an important step I'm the
impeachment trial of United states
Judge Charles Swayne Of the north
ern district of Florida. The organiz-
alton for the trial was effected by the
swearing Of the senators for that pur-
pose; the managers of the house were
received for the purpose of formally
presenting the articles of impeachment
and resolution summoning Judge
Svayne to appear was adopted. Mr..
Platt Of Connecticut was elected to
preside at the trial sessions. Further
proceedings were postponed until Fri
day next. when Judge Swayne is ex-
pected to appear before the bar of the
senate.
The ceremony was impressive and
was witnessed by a full senate and
by well filled galleries.
Estimates as to the length of time
the trial will occupy have been from
ten days to a month after it is once
begun. 1t is believed that when Judge
CNdyne tPpSdTb next II Iludy lie VIII
ask few days to make answer. and
when he does answer that day or
two more will be given to the house
for the presentation of its replication.
A number of witnesses will be heard
and considerable time will be consumed
by attorneys. 1t is therefore probable
that the conclusion of the case will
not long precede the day of final adj
Iournment in March. A part of each
day will be given to the trial, when
the preliminaries are disposed of.
Judge Swayne is now in Wilmington,
Del, and Sergeant-at-Arms Ramsdell
of the senate left for that city tonight
to serve the senate's summons on him.
Other proceedings of the senate to-
day consisted of a speech on the state
hood bill by Mr.. McCumber and dis
cussion of the Bacon resolution of
inquiry concerning the agreement be-
tween the United States and Santa
Domingo. The resolution was referred
to the senate committee on foreign re-
lations.

PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
lFROM JOHN s. SARGENTS PORTRAYAL

Inconsistent he is the stronger he is
with the people. It is but just to say,
however, that his Inconsistencies are
harmless and do the country no
damage. He is full of hobbies which
he calls upon other people to ride but
which he seldom mounts himself.
He is the only president that ever
diGnitied the matter of game preserva-
ton to the extent of mentioning it in
a message, and he condemned, and
justly condemned, in the strongest
terms the wanton destruction of the
habitants Of forest, field and prairie
for the purpose of obtaining trophies
| or souvenirs. Yet, under his direction
the state dining room in the White
House was "modernized" by remov-
ing its historic paintings and
substituting in their places the fin
est specimens of the taxidermist's art
extant, and five sixths of the heads OF
the buffalo, mountain sheep, bear, elk
deer and other animals that adorn
that sumptuous apartment were
ruthlessly slaughtered for trophies and
souvenirs and no other purpose.
Forest protection is almost mania
with him and he talks it and urges il
constantly Yet for exercise he goes
across the Potomac and chops down
Virginia oaks centuries old.
While at Oyster Bay during the
last summer he arose at two O'Clock
in the morning and taking his sixteen
year old boy for company, rode thirty
miles across the country, in the face
of a binding storm to pay visit to d
relative, nearly running the valuable
animals they bestrode. The press oil
the country heralded it as a COM
mendable example of strenuousnesl
which it would be we'll for the young
men of the country to copy, but if any
other man in the United States were to
do the same thing, if his wife did not
take out commission of lunacy fol
him, he would be arrested by the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals.
He is a great champion of athletic
sports. He thinks he is great boxer,
wrestler, fencer, rifle and revolver shot
and in this belief he is encouraged by
sycophantic attendants and complai.
SAINT prets, but experts in these mat
tiers smile when they hear talk about
a man being in any way proficient in
these matters who can not see six feet
in front of his nose without spectacles
and who is compelled to wear convex
glasses for myopia.
He is the recognized champion OF
"Merit" in public service, always in
sisting that it should be made a
condition precedent, yet he has only
two strong men, John Hay and
Thomas Wilson, in his cabinet. all

desire TO reiterate what | stated
when / began this series OF articles,
and that is: | do not claim they are
accurate. / am simply giving the
impressions that the men prominent
in public life, that l have met during
the last twenty years, have made on
my mind. For the most part they
were written at the time l first came in
contact with them. They are simply
a revision of notes made at the time.
I have written frankly but absolutely
without malice. | make the state
ments in reply to the criticism that [
app rehend will follow the account of
my impressions of the man, the CLAM
our of whose commanding personality
has absolutely hypnotized the Ameri-
can people. At the present time, for
one to even intimate that the president
is not perfect, is almost, if not quite,
les majeste, with great majority of
the citizens of this nation who accord
him idolitrous worship.
l can truly say that l always was
and am now an admirer of Theodore
Roosevelt, but | am not a Roosevelt
maniac. l admire the President for
his sterling qualities of head and
heart; respect him for his fearless
courage; his answering integrity;
his rigid honesty and his unquestion-
ed intention to do right at all times,
but the same bluntness that is his
strongest characteristic impels me to
say that the marvellous reputation
he has achieved is not justified by his
attachments and accomplishments.
He is remarkable man, he posses
ses that marvellous power over men
exercised by the first Napoleon that
caused that member of the sold
Guard" to cry aloud "Vive Il Emper-
eur" when he was being led forth to
be shot by the Emperor's orders. In
fact the President is an American edi-
ton of Napoleon whom he resembles
more than any other man in history.
He is combination of strength and
weaknesses and like Napoleon, is more
loved for his weaknesses than for his
strength. There is something indescri-
able about him that inspires faith at
sight. Something that impels the
multitude to doff their hats and yell
and cheer the moment he makes his
appearance in public whether they
know and recognize him or not. As a
public speaker he is commonplace, he
is not in the same class with Mckinley,
Bryan, Depew, Dolliver, Towne,
Cousins or score of others that
might mention, yet his speeches make
q great impression and create more
enthusiasm than any man who is now,
or has been before the public during
this generation.
The President is a curious bundle
of Inconsistencies, but the more

except the welfare of the people, and
the people ever generous, gave him
credit for Intention and were willing
to trust to futurity for accomplish
ment.
The American people were not
pleased with the platform OF the Re-
publican party. Roosevelt was a
platform in himself that entirely
superseded the convention platform.
He stood by his public utterances for
three things dear to the heart of vast
majority of American citizens:
Tariff revision,
Strict Governmental control of
trusts,
Regulation of transportation rates.
Roosevelt believes in these PROPOSE
tons, or all his public utterances are
merely vapid vaporings of the dema-
gogue, which even his bitterest
enemies do not believe.
The people look to him and not to
congress to make good. Can he do
it? He can. viii he do it? The
future can only answer that question.
He can't do it by writing essays and
messages of which he is so fond of
doing. He can't do it by making a
speechmaking tour through the
country as the daily papers of Tues
day proclaimed was his intention.
Yet it is within his power to accom-
plish all and more than he declares.
This Congress will do nothing along
these lines. They are playing the old
game of dilly dallying and delay of
which the representatives of corporate
interests in those bodies are pay
masters. This congress will adjourn
without any trust legislation, tariff
revision or rate legislation.
Let the President call an extra
session of Congress as soon as possible
after the fourth of March. Let moth
ing be discussed therein except these
three propositions. Let the President
outline the legislation demanded in
one OF his mastery messages and if
his bidding is not done, and speedily,
those who stand in the pathway of
such legislation will never again have
an opportunity to misrepresent con-
stItuency. The President of the
United States backed by the people
can accomplish anything in the way
of legislation he desires to accomplish
| have drifted away from the text of
my article into political discussion,
but it is almost impossible to discuss
Roosevelt without discussing politics
for he is pre-eminently a politician.
The President is the most charming
subject for character sketch now
before the public. He has more
character and more different kinds of
character than any prominent man OF
today, but he cannot be correctly
judged until his work is finished and
his career is ended. Then, and only
then, can full justice be done to the
multiferious phases of his manyside1
character. Today he is the political
idol of the nation. He has the conf
dence of the people as no other
executive possessed it, not even Lin
coin. The people love him, honor him
and are proud of him, still they are
secretly delighted that there are not
any more public men like him.
One Roosevelt is enough for a gen.

the others are below the ordinary,
measured by the standard of ability
of men who have occupied the same
positions under former administra-
tons.
Like all strong characters the Presi-
dent is vain. and the easiest way, and
l might add the only way he can
be managed is to flatter that vanity.
He plays favorites. At one time 1
visited the White House in company
with congressional delegation
After the business was finished the
talk drifted to Minnesota matters.
The President, whose knowledge of
everything is almost phenomenal,
remarked in speaking of Senator
Nelson, 81 understand that anyone
who stood by the Senator in his great
fight against Kindred comes pretty
near being next to him." "You are
absolutely correct, Mr.. President, -
remarked member of the Minnesota
delegation, "and there is another i'm
preston prevailing in our state.''
"What is it?" he asked. "That a
man who is a graduate of Harvard, a
noted foot ball player or Rough
Rider, he comes pretty near being
next to the President" And if the
Harvard graduates, foot ball players,
and Rough Riders were to be dismissed
from the government service there
would be an awful hole left.
The President treats congress like
school boys and compels them to do
his bidding but they dare not protest.
Ii as in the early days of the Republic,
the House OF Representatives nomi-
mated the President instead of dele
gates selected by the people, the
President wouldn't even had look
in for the nomination.
l have heard dozens of members OF
congress abuse him like a pickpocket
in the cloak rooms and then go back
to their constituents and eulogize
him to the skies, and have been
creditably informed that similar
condition exists in the Senate only to
a much more marked degree. John
Williams told the truth when with
| flashing eyes he faced the republican
side vi the House and tainted them
when they cheered the Presidents
name. sob yes, Roosevelt is the
man you are all hOllering for and
| mighty few of YOU want"
The hold that Roosevelt has on the
people outside of the politicians is
something marvellous. They do not
care whether he is favorite with the
Senate and House or not. In fact
the more he snubs these organizations
the better the people like it, and to-
day Roosevelt is almost as much adj
mired by large portion Of the
democratic party as he is by the re-
publicans. His opportunity fol-
accomplishing reforms is unlimited.
The people, despite the peculiarities
possessed by him, are almost unani-
mously behind him.
have been asked, when expressed
ONE of the views here given in private,
if what l said was true, why was it
that Roosevelt was so overwhelmingly
triumphant? will answer the ques-
ton. Rockwell is masterful, and de-
spite over boosted independence the
American people dote on master. He
is spectacular and the American people
are fond of spectacularism and grand
stand play. He is strong they admire
strength. He is impulsive they like
! impulsiveness.
He is honest and honesty suits
them. He is courageous and they
love courage. He always wants to do
the right thing and has no ambition
