egotlsm, of Incorporate speech, of
reckless impulses and fiighty judg-
ment. He stands for vicious policies
and stoops to the arts of the dema-
gogue to advance them. In the Sen
ate he would have only the official
standing of any other member, be
subject to the same rules of conduct
and have only one vote. Within his
sphere he would be a useful Senator
because of his familiarity with public
affairs and his experience In admin
stration. I.
But aside from Mr.. Roosevelt's
personality, the principle remains
that some way ought to be found to
keep ex-Presidents from engaging in
business. Mr. Roosevelt's election to
the Senate would pave the way to-
ward conferring a seat in the Sen
ate and an assured income upon all
Presidents upon retirement. BY the
lending of Grants name to a shady
wal street firm, by Cleveland's ac-
ceptance of a Ryan sinecure. by the
appearance of Harrison in court as
attorney for a street railway concern
that had forfeited its franchises, the
dignity of the Presidential office and
of the country was compromised. It
ought never again to be possible for
an ex-President to be reduced to turn
ing to commercial profit the prestige
and reputation acquired in office The
title Of the Presidency of the United
States should not be made the head
line on billboard posters and railway
signs in return for private compen-
sation.
The Legislature of New York is
Republican. A Republican will be
chosen to succeed Senator Platt. The
election of Mr.. Roosevelt will prevent
the danger that New York, after be-
ing represented by man like Platt,
might be represented by Woodruff or
some other local politician; or by
Elihu Root, who, while most prom
inently mentioned, should be dis
qualified for the place through being
implicated in Thomas F. Ryan's trac-
tion and State Trust operations.
The New York Legislature should
elect Theodore Roosevelt Senator OF
the United States to succeed Thomas
c. Platt. New York World.

FOR CANNON
Vice President will Plead
"Uncle Joe's" Cause
with Taft.

I Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 70 .--Theo-
dore Burton, congressman from Cleve-
land, expected "wednesday will not
arrive until today. Vice President
elect James 8. Sherman is coming as
an advocate of Joseph G.. Cannon for
reelection as speaker Burton Is
the man most prominently mentioned
as a rival Republican candidate for
the place.
On the other hand, Mr.. Burton is
an active candidate for the senate to
succeed Joseph b. Foraker of Ohio.
Charles p. Taft, brother OF the presi-
dent-eloct, also desires the senator
ship. Burton and the Tafts have
been friends, personally and political
ly, and the situation is embarrassing.
If Mr.. Burton could succeed in dis
placing Mr.. Cannon the way would
he cleared in Ohio for G.. p. Taft. On
the other hand the new president will
need the cordial support of congress
and how far he can go in opposing
Mr.. Cannon without antagonizing a
large part of the house is a question
to be considered.
MIR. and Mrs. Taft were patrons
last night at the lecture for the ben
eft of the blind, given in the ball
room of the Homestead hotel by
Mrs. Walker Fearn, widow of the
late American minister to Greece and
Roumania. Mrs. Fearn told of work
being done for the blind by the King
and Queen of Roumania. she was
introduced by Winston Churchill of
New Hampshire.
Judge Taft devoted himself during
the day to the preparation of his
speech to be delivered at Brooklyn.

FOR 5DNATOR-ROCSEVELT
The response TO the Worlds sugges-
ion that Theodore Roosevelt be elect
ID to succeed Thomas c.. P!att in the
United States Senate has been ex-

Gratis and Republicans alike, Gov
9rnors, United States Senators, Rep
resentatiyes, leaders of public opinion
IN the Pacific coast, in the Rocky
Mountain section, in the South, in
the Middle West in New England,
join in indorsing him as the logical
candidate.
Neither partisanship nor locality
governs their opinions. Gov. Cham
Jerlain, of Oregon, and Senator Perk-
lns, of California, Gov. Guild, of
Massachusetts, and Senator Gallinger,
Of New Hampshire, Gov. Cutler of
Utah, Gov Sheldon, of Nebraska.
Gov. Broward. of Florida, Gov.
Blanchard of Louisiana. Senator
Smith, of Michigan, Senator Owen,
Of Oklahoma, Senator Curtis, of Kan
sas and scores of Representatives
have put themselves on record in
favor OF Mr.. Roosevelts election.
That the President on retiring
should step from the White House
into the United States Senate is
not a matter that concerns merely the
State of New York or the United
81
States only. 1t is matter of world
wide interest. The prompt approval
of teWorld's position by the Lon

practice of leaving the President after
his term is ended, to life of private
gain.

the fact that it never pays to get so
ruffled over politics that the senses
are lost. Senator Carmack lost his
head when he 50 bitterly assailed his
antagonists in the Tennessee prima-

head when he opened fire upon the
senator. Politics is a game and those
