PRESIDENT WILL NOT
BE A SENATOR

Chicago. Feb. 1s.--Writing from
Washington, Walter Wellman says:
What will President Roosevelt do az
ter his present term EXPRESS little more
than a year hence? This is a question
which many have asked, and which
no one is able to answer. The presi-
dent himself canon answer it, for the
simple reason that he does not know.
But there is one point as to his flu
ture as to which he has finally and
definitely made up his mind. He will
not accept a seat in the United States
Senate. Within the past As hours the
his decision as to that.
1.-The determining factor in this de
cision is found in the peculiar duties
Of a senator. The nat is a legisla-
tive council. 1t must give advice and
consent to the president in all treaties
and appointments. If Mr.. Roosevelt
should become a member Of the Senate
the day he retires from the White
House. his duties as a member OF that
body would be peculiarly delicate.
IF, for instance. Mr.. Taft were to
become president the same day. the
former president, as senator, wou'l find
1t necessary either to champion the adj
ministraticn and acts of his successor,
or to criticise them from time to time.
because with Roosevelt there is no mid
RAISING. The president remarked:
'When I leave the White House 1
do not wish to be placed in a position
where I shall have to be telling the
man who takes my job what he should
do and should not do. 1 have had SO
much of that myself. l am resolved to
keep my lips tightly closed"

BOY TEACHER, 10,
A CLEVER SWlNDlER

Freeman. S. D.. Feb. 19.-Uneasiness
has been caused by the disappearance
Of David P. Hofer, who for some little
time had been teaching county,
school in what is known as the Sterf1
school district, near here. Hofer is only~
19 years old. 1t was at first feared he
might have been the victim Of foul
play, but developments during the past
day or two indicate that he left the
country for fear Of being arrested. A
short time before his departure. it Is
said, he asked Philip Huber. a well
know resident of Freeman, to sign a
paper which he stated approved his
school work. Huber had no reason to
doubt his word n signed the pur-
ported testimonial without reading 1t.
1t now turns out hat the paper Huber
signed was a note for s4oc. Hofer aban-
doned his wife.
One of his former pupils received q
letter from him dated at Sioux City.
while a friend residing at Emery re-
ceived a letter from him dated at Chi-
cago. This is the last that has been
heard Of the missing man.
