WORLD THINKS IT UNBECOMING Chef MAGIS-
TRATE SHOULD BECOME AN EDITOR

The New York World advocates ofTheodoreRoose
vet Tom Pa the United States in the fol-
lowing vigorous language
"Any president OF the United States has
gained experience invaluable the nation and should not be
lost knowledge foreign relations which Of the utmost
Importance to the the consideration of treaties His faml
ar with all the administrative departments makes HIM yertabe
cycopaeda of information regard many questions OF legislation
his policies be good bad whether his judgment be
sound or weak experience the White House great national
asset which the American people should have the benefit Of
Moreover the dignity office snocngy lowered when
president United the end Of his thrust into pr
vate life shift living for himself and family best he can 1t
is not seemy that Grant should lend his to firm OF Wall
street gamblers that Cevean dsoud be compelled accept
Ryan that Harrison should have appear before the
United States supreme that street railway company
franchises perpetual
Much as we respect the profession journalism eey
periodical the Outlook should be able to
capitalize presidents prestige and popularity and use him to adyer
business four months advance OF his retirement from the
White House The the constitutional officer the
American government who the representative Of all the people and
after expired his influence and experience should be re-
tanned by the people of the general welfare Least Of
all should he be exploited like patent liver pill skin
For this reason fundamental question of principle The
World has long urged that retiring president should receive pen
sion of at $4,000 year and that he should have seat in the
senate better way of setting this highly desirable re-
form in motion than York make Mr. Roosevelt United
States
In advocating Mr. Roosevelt The World
by public considerations Without doubt we should
have ever criticised Roosevelt We should to be
abused by quite vcousy and vndctvey he abuses every
body who the truth about him We should expect that as sen
ator he would continue manifest Of the worst faults he has
shown but for all that the senate itself would re-
strain his violence his mpetuos check his impusveness
chain his superabdant energy give him the best possible field
exercising his unquestioned talents for the public good
By all means let New York legislature elect Theodore Roose
vet senator congress of the United States succeed Thomas
C Platt Who else S SO we'll qualified?
New Haven (Conn) Union (Dem) seems futile to fight
the Republican organization from the outsire Why not hight
from the If every Democrat to register Repu6
can and Join the Republican organization the @ P would GER
anly to use Jerry Simpsons phrase mot know where was at
The organization as such would be destroyed No would know
exactly who was who and this way something effective the
way Of reform might be accomplished We print this not as ed
conviction on the part The Union what ought to be done but
as suggestion mind as to what might be done
We have tried 10 Repubean from the outside with every
sort Of combination have gnay failed Like the Greeks
Of Old in order to take G. O. p citadel must crawl into
the Republican elephant and let them like Trojans drag us within
the walls to their undoing?
