Naming His Successor.

New York Evening Post.
 "Presidents as a rule do not attempt to name their successors" said MT. Wilcox of the Public Service Com mission. after a talk with MT. Roose- welt yesterday. Whether this gnomie saying was intended to show how this Administration is breaking all prece- dents. we do not know. But we have it semi officially that the President is determined" that no Republican shall he nominated to succeed him who will no. say ditto to Roosevelt. This has a bearing on the third-term ques- tion> What is the real difference oe- tween President scheming toA re nominate himself, and one simply us ing all the vast power of his office to dictate his successor? As the his- toran. Schouler has pointed out, the real reason fSr renouncins third term Is the Presidents desire to as sure the country that he will not use patronage for selfish ends. But II would take skilled easuist to make q moral distinction between such an abuse of office for ones own advan- tage. and working night and day lo get Federal officeho!ders to "set things up" for a Presidential double.

Chicago is fast working itself into a place alongside Philadelphia 1t seems. The Chattanooga Times remarks that the reformers have been looking into things in that city of late and have found that the administration has been keeping a small army of snow shovel- CTS on the pay roll continuously since 1905. The queer complexity of Chicago weather would be indicated by the fact that in January. 1906. it only re- quired 1900 of these shovelers, but in July it demanded 1.5Oo-that is, 1t would indicate weather complexity if it did not more prove official graft"
 Prevention Is better than cure, we have been told, and to be prepared against trouble is always commenda- bIe: therefore, the Chicago officials may be wise in their generation. How can they foretell when a snowstorm may come? It might happen aleng and fill the streets on the Fourth of July and then if they had no brigade of snow shoveIers ready to hand how would they get rid of the trouble? Nothing like foresight and preparation and graft.

THURSDAY, DEoEmBER ,s, 1907.
LEFT ADAM OUT.

Now comes the information that the good people of Cleveland are in a state of mind bordering on anarchy over discovery that has just been made. It is not about politics this time, though they always have more or less of that --or them--in that city. Nor is the trouble connected with Mayor Johnson and his street car regulations No, the trouble all comes up over the re- cent discovery that two of the school histories now in use do not once mem tion the name of Adam! And the mat ter is aggravated by the fact that one of these histories is an old one. not modern innovation. Many of the new histories are so taken up with modern names and happenings that they over look many of the old names that once were considered important.
 Now, we are free to admit that his torical knowledge of Adam is some what limited. In fact. history has treated Adam badly. The Bible gives us about all we know of him, and that isn't much. It gives us a brief biog- raphy, tells us some of his doings and sayings, but not enough of either to put us in possession of all the facts about him. If we had a history of him as complete as we have of some later celebrities we might be able to learn a great deal about his life and public services that we are now who'll ly ignorant of. We can really learn Adam, if we leave out the short Bible narrative.
 And yet, the fact that historians can find so little data upon which to found a history of our first progenitor, Is nc excuse for a man who writes a history for public use, or for the schools and leaves Adam out entirely. Hep is re- puted to be the first of long line of human beings, and the failure to men, tion him was palpably an insult to his memory. And the worst feature of il
 
 intentional. for we cannot conceive that a man with enough of learnirs 2 and sense to write history could be ig norant of inc existence of the origi- nator of humanity Nor as The Kan sas City Journal puts it. can he escape criticism "by pleading that any men tion of Adam in d medieval or modert history would he anachronistic. Adam is not a negligible quantity in the worlds affairs. He must be. reck onet with. if all the facts are to be brough out. Erase Adam from our ealcula tIons and where would we all be toda. -or any day? The wisest thing tha author could do would be to get ou an 'errata' correcting this omission an abjectly apologizing therefor to tn family survivors of the deceased"

If, says The New Bedford Standard, the Democrats can sink the everlast- ing habit of playing for factional su- premacy within the party. and can get together on a sensible determination to be a party in which brains and prin- ciple combine to effect a purpose worth while, probably there is no other man so well calculated to be strong Pres idential candidate for them as Cover nor Johnson of Minnesota. All right; we'll think about it. Meanwhile, If the Republicans can quit trying to eat each other up and want to put up really good man we suspect that Governor Hughes might fill the bill.

A California man lived for fourteen days on an exclusive diet of cactus. and found that he not only enjoyed it but gained slightly in weight during the time. Possibly the experiment. will be worth something. Most species of cactus will flourish where no other vegetation will grow, and if the new diet is palatable and wholesome it may "Hn a a%Iong-felt want" and also fill many empty stomachs. Now if Luther Burbank will find way to grow cac- tus without thorns the job will be worth something.

 The total commerce of the world in 1900 was about one and a half bil- lions of dollars: in 1900 1t was more than twenty billions of dollars. Other figures show that in wealth and the growth of various industrial agencies the increase has been far swifter fhan that of population.

 The recent conviction in Montgom- cry County of white man and sen. tence upon him by Judge Thomas ot five years in the penitentiary is good beginning, Mayor Teague and Chtef Taylor too deserve commendation TOT their recent action.

 The great American public already is exercising its right to petition the new Congress. The body is less than week old and the petitions already in are over-flOwing storage room.

Where there are nun dreds of thousands of signatures to a petition on one subject legislation pc- casionally results.
