Presidents Connection With the
Outlook and His Duties.
WILL DO SPECIAL WORK.

Position to Be Analogous to That OF
Consulting Engineer" In an Under
taking Like Panama Canal-Hailed
as World Leader-To Write What
He Pieases.
The Outlook. of which the Rev. Ly-
man Abbott is the editor, recently an
nounced the part that President Roose-
Welt will have in the conduct of the
magazine after he retires from the
presidency. This is the statement:
On and after March s, 1909, Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be associated with
the Outlooks editorial staff as special
contributing editor.
AS the beginning Of the nineteenth
century was characterized by the
movement toward political democracy,
SO the beginning of the twentieth CEN
fury has been characterized by move
ment toward Industrial democracy. In
this world movement Theodore Roose-
welt has been recognized as a world
believed that his leadership would
cease with his retirement from the
presidency. We congratulate ourselves
and our readers that this leadership,
exercised for the last seven years in
presidential messages, will be exer-
cised in the future through the col
umns of the Outlook, which will be the
exclusive channel for the expression
of his views on political, Industrial and
social topics.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be more than q
mere contributor. His headquarters
will be at the Outlook's Office, and he
will be in frequent and, we hope, in
constant consultation with its staff.
His position will thus be somewhat
analogous to that of a consulting en-
gineer who is called in to give the
benefit of his expert cooperation to the
staff of engineers in charge of great
undertaking like the Panama canal.
look will remain unchanged. Mr..
Roosevelt's contributions, though ed
itorial in their nature, will be signed
by his name and will be the absolute
| ly free and unmodiied expressions of
his personal convictions We antici-
! pate that on occasions both the inter-
est and the value of the Outlook will
be enhanced by frank discussions be-
tween this journal and it's distinguish
ed associate.
AS already announced In these col
umns, Mr. Roosevelt after retiring
from the presidency will sail for AT.
RIGA, and the reports Of his scientific
hunting expedition will be published
exclusively In Scribners Magazine,
| During this period his contributions
on questions Of the day will necessari-
ly be somewhat restricted. Yet the
| Outlook will have the benefit of his
foresight before he sails and will give
to it's readers occasional articles from
his pen on topics Of current interes
which will foreshadow his larger ed
itorial activity upon his return to his
native land.
