Twenty-Five men have been President
of the United States. They were chosen
for this high post for various reasons
some for their emineuce III civil life,
some on account of military distinction,
some because of successful party leader
ship. some because Of their conspicuous
Identification with commanding issues,
some through hero-worship or adven-
titious personal popularity, some
through party compromises, some
through the accidents Of politics or ma
ture. Not often, if ever, have the
American people deliberately set out to
train a man for the Presidency. to pre-
mare him through education and expert
ence and work for the responsibilities
of their highest and most exactng pub

interest.

fashion yesterday to get jobs on Chief Rhinelander Waldo's police force. The civil service examiners who were sent here to sift out the applicants had a hot pace set out for them. Many of the candidates were college graduates.
 A large percentage wanted to get on the mounted squad, The general senti- ment was that to be an aqueduct po- liceman under Waldo was equivalent to a summer vacation in the healthful and inspiring Catskils, with "a sl00 a month pin money thrown in,
 The candidates went through phys teal examination by Dr. J. P. Warbasa, a New York police surgeon. When he saw pnlcticed and skilled athletes. fresh from the gymnasium and football fields lined up before him and observ- ed the ease with which many of them took his tests, he exclaimed
 This body of men is one of the very best I ever looked over. They are healthy, well developed, and it is evil dent that they do not live in the New York environment"
 Among the applicants were sons or doctors, bankers, lawyers, in fact, all classes of professional men. The writ ten examination was voted easy by most of them. The successful ones will probably be assigned in a few days.
