ROOSEVELT AND THE SENATE.

There lis nothing at all startling in the announcement
that President Roosevelt is ambitious to succeed Thomas
c. Platt as United States senator from New York 1t
quite conceivable that the active and tireess president
should have his eye upon that position especially in view
of the fact that will be easily within his reach Sen
ator Plat is aged and broken and Il not at all prob
able that he will again be candidate before the
New York Legislature But il he should be- is not
likely that he could succeed against Theodore Roose-
welt.

as student and man of PUBLIC affairs lie has held many
offices, both appontye and elective state and national
lie is now only As years old and the youngest man
ever maugurated president IIe will not be so when his
present term expires 1t may be said of him that he

turn to his native state where he may indulge his bent
full of honors and beyond all temptations to stoop to
the small expedients of the mere politician AS senator
from New York, he would be entirely independn of all
administration restraint; he would be in the best sense
the leader of the party state and national and his posi-
ton would be secure,
BY negative, what else could Mr.. Roosevelt doi He
could write books and travel But for man who had led
life of such various achievements either or both of
these things would not suffice He has shown that he can
write books and essays while he is president and the
duties of the senatorshp would not be exactng He
would not be satisfied simple onooker. And then
again, he is young, and who knows but what at some
time later he might again answer his counrys call to
