MR.. ROOSEVELT
AS A SENATOR.

Nobody supposes that Theodore
Roosevelt is going to sit down and
twirl his thumbs after he leaves the
White House. He will be I'm the
prime OF life In 1909. less than 81
years old. Physically, he has per-
feet health, gigantic strength, won
derful endurance and restless ac-
tivity. We cannot imagine him an
ldler In mere physical sense.
And mentally and morally he Is
no vagrant and cannot be. There
have been men-some of them pres
idents-of more comprehensive In
tellect. The house was full of good
fairies when he was christened and
one OF them bestowed this on him
'He shall be fortunate" The CHIEF
hero of skirmish. IL made him
governor OF New York. In that Office
he refused To take orders from the
boss, who, TO employ old Sir Robert
Walpole's famous figure. kicked him
upstairs" to the vice presidency. He
became president i'm 1901, and no
one OF his predecessors I'm that great
place ever exercised the influence on
the destiny OF his country that he has
unless II was Andrew Jackson, who
was pretty much every man himself
In his day and generation.
When Jackson left the White
House he was 20 years older than
Roosevelt will be In 1909, a physi.
cal wreck, and suffering from the
wound of Dickinsons pistol that A.
nally killed him. yet Jackson die
tated the policy of his party until his
death. Had "Old Hickory" been In
his grave. we may be sure that James
x. Polk would not have been nomi.
mated I'm 1874.
What shall we do with our expires
ideDts? has long been discussed
John q. Adams made more reputa-
| ton as member of Congress the
last 8 years OF his life than i'm the
best OF his political career, the long
est OF any American. Andrew John
son died n senator.
We think the best suggestion as to
Mr.. Roosevelt's future is the propo-
sal TO send him to the Senate. The
| cauntry would not suffer from n
rough and tumble In that body be-
tween Theodore Roosevelt and Ben
jamin X. Tillman. A debate between
Roosevelt and Bailey, or Roosevelt
and Carmack, where they met al
arms length. would not be disad.
yantageous. Besides. the president
might learn thing or two from a
Mr.. Spooner. or Mr.. Foraker, or a
Mr.. Knox.
BY all means let It be Senator
Roosevelt.

SLEEP BENEATH
THE STARS

Night Is a dead. monotonous pc
riod under roof but In the open
world IL passes lightly, with it's stars
and dews and perfumes. and the
hours are marked by changes In the
face of Nature. What seems a kind
of temporal death to people choked
between walls and curtains Is only
a light and living slumber to the man
who sleeps a-field. All night long
he can hear Nature breathing deeply
and freely; even as she takes her
rest. she turns and smiles: and there
Is one stirring hour unknown to those
who dwell In houses, when a wake
full influence goes abroad over the
sleeping hemisphere. and all the out
door world are on their feet II Is
then that the cock first crows, not
| this time to announce the dawn, but
like cheerful watchman speeding
the course of night. Cattle awake on
the meadows; sheep break their fast
on the dewy hillsides. and change to
new lair among the ferns: and
homeless men, who have lain down
with the fowls. open their dim eyes
and behold the beauty of the night
At what inaudible summons, at
what gentle touch OF Nature, are all
these sleepers thus recalled in the
same hour TO life? Do the stars rain
down an influence, or do we share
! some thrill of Mother Earth below
our resting bodies? Even shepherds
and old country folks. who are the
deepest read In these arcana, have
not a guess as TO the means or pur-
/ pose Of this nightly resurrection. To-
ward two In the morning they declare
the Things takes place; and neither
know nor inuuire further. And at
least IT is n pleasant incident. We
are disturbed in our slumber only.
like the luxurious Montaigne that
we may the better and more sensibIy
relish IT," We have a moment to
look upon the stars. And there is a
special pleasue for some minds I'm
the reflection that we show the i'm
pulse with all outdoor creatures I'm
our neighborhood, that we have es-
capped out Of the BastiIle of ciyIliza-
ton, and are become, for the time
being, o mere kindly animal and =
sheep OF Natures flock.

River Changing Course

Railroad men of the Yuma-Bos An- geles division say that the river is shift ing it's channel near Araz siding at the foot of the grade west of Yuma, and ap- breaches the track SO closely at that point as to threaten to wash 1t away. The channel has formed sharp bend there and is pushing the point further to the northward so that for a couple of miles the current sets east of north It is possible that two or three miles of track will have to be moved possibly a new route to climb the mesa will have to be ound.-Yuma Sun.

From the following dispatch from SanDiego It would seem that the Home Telephone Company was making prep aratIons to build its line to this Valley:
 "An important meeting of the d. rectors of the Home Telephone Com pany will be held next Thursday night at which time the proposition of ex- tending the lines ot the company to the Imperial Valley will be taken up. Although none of the officers are will Ing to talk of the plan it Is learned from first. class authority that it is pro- posed to build lines from Julian and Cuyamaca across the desert to lmper- ial. Connections would be made with the towns of Imperial, Bravley Cslex- leo, Holtvllle, Fl Centro, Heber and other places | us affordng direct con- necton with San Diego and Los An geles. There is every reason to be- lleve that the plan will be adopted and that work on the extensions will be commenced within the next three months.

While the University suffered very heav- ilyD by tine loss of income property Tn the San Francisco fire, the University buildings and their contents at Berke- lev suffered very little damage. The University work will continue as usual, as soon as the refugees, who are housed in the various buildings on the campus have been cared for. The Academic Council met last night, and i'll consider ation of the fact that the University Cadets will probably be employed for some time further in guarding property and the women students of the Uniyer- sity will be busy with the Relief Work, the Council voted to suspend the rules, which requires that final examinations be given before marks for the term can be filed with the Recorder. The stu dents will be passed ill their subjects on the basis of the terms work, which was within one week of completion at the time of the earthquake.
 In case where the instructor IS doubt tul as to the students having satlstactor- ily done the work of the course, exami- nation will be deferred until the opening of college next August. Commence ment exercises will be held. The date of the exercises and the form they will take will be announced later.
 The members of the faculty are near ly all engaged in the Relief Work, hay ing rendered particularly valuable aid in the organization of the Executive and Sanitary Department Professor Lawson, of the Department of Geology, is at the head of committee to investi- gate the causes of the earthquake. ! Professor Cory, head of the Depart ment of Mechanical and Electrical En- gineering, is working with the Citizens Committee of San Francisco, planning the reconstruction of the new city.
 Professor Derleth, Jr.. of the Depart ment of Civil Engineering, together with a number of his assistants is in- vestigating the effects of the earthquake and fire on the different forms of con struction, and the materials used for building in San Francisco. Professor Hyde, Professor of Sanitary Engineer ing, is at the head of the Sanitary De- partment of the University Relief Com mittee and in addition is making a careful study of the sanitary situation. Captain J. T. Nance, COmmandant of the University Cadets, took the regi- ment to San Francisco on the day of the fire, where a strip of territory twen- ty-seven blocks long and nine blocks awide, in the residence district, was placed under their protection They ,remamed on duty in San Francisco un- 3til Friday evening, when they were re- |Elieved and returned to Berkeley at the request of the citizens of Berkeley, who !desired their services in guarding prop 'erty on this side of the bay. Their Ilwork in San Francisco called forth the Friendly praise of the regular troops land police, to whom they rendered ev- jery possible service.
