there any depth OF grovelliuc. slavish
abasenent to which the OmiJOh will not
descend in defence OF the performances OF
Theodore Roosevelt? In its Issue OF Jan
uary Q, discussing whether the President
was right or justified In saying. az he did
in his message hen referring 10 the amend =
ment to the sundry civil appropriations
bill. that the chief argument in favor of
the provision was that the Congressnen did
not themselves wish TO be investigated, &"
the Outlook says: ON the whole. in our
Judgment the Presidents affirmation that
this was the principal argument. while not
capa BILE OF demonstration, is fairly sustained
by a reading OF the Con1resaopdi Rscorf,
supplemented by MIR. Busbey's article.
This In the pious conclusion to which the
Outlook comes. and this Notwithstanding
IL appears. as was stated by Congressman
Weeks in bis speech In the House Jsnuary
:. that in the debate on this amendment,
which covers fourteen columns OF the
Record and more than 100 lines. less than
ten lines were devoted to any reference
whatever to the undesirability of spying
on the actions OF Congressman or other
officials. and that these ten
lines we're included in two questions asked
by Mr.. Sherley OF the gentleman who had
the floor" II would seem that nothing
remains now for the Outlook to do In order
10 demonstrate its absolute, shameless
veneration OF the Roosevelt idol except
to declare that his violence and mendacity
are shining and supernal virtues

cause | had been much in the State, the
ideal little Commonwealth which he repre-
sented here. Upon landscape OF unsur-
passed beauty there dwell in Vermont a
people OF heroic mould. Her population is
made up perhaps In larger proportion OF
the old Revolutionary stock. OF men who
were identified with the FIRST settlement OF
this country and who fought the war which
established our Independence, than that Of
any other State OF the North. and possibly
Of any other State in the Union. She has
Q history OF remarkable charm-worthy
of the race which inhabits her noble hills
and beautiful valleys. We admire the hero
ism Of those men OF Vermont Who In i71S
asserted their independence not only OF
Great Britain but also OF the other Colonies,
and especially OF the two OF three neigh
boring ones which claimed sovereignty
over her territory. Vermont was q little
republic In herself. independent of all the
rest OF mankind. and when It seemed best
to join with the other Colonies TO fght the
common foe her people did not even stop
to pass the code OF laws which were neces-
sary for governing their territory, but they
first devoted themselves. and with supreme
effect. TO the great struggle out Of which
the nation came.

President-elect Lowell.

Professor ABBOTT LAWRENCE LOWELL,
who will be formally elected president
of Harvard University next week, full
fills the most rigid conditions which the
most august member OF the corporation
could require. He is Of the Brahmin
caste. He is distinguished in letters.
He has had experience in financial
affairs and administrative boards. He
is an inheritor OF reasonable wealth. one
Of the class OF Bostonians who devote
themselves to the public in general and
to Harvard in particular. He is pub
lilo speaker of force and distinction,
even il he cannot equal that admirable
lucidity Of style which President ELIOT
has made for himself. Finally, and
this may be pleaded to the undergrad
uates in mitigation Of his intelligence
and his accomplishments, he was a
mighty runner in his youth.
1t win not displease those Of us who
may suffer from the handicap OF being
more than thirty-flve to know that
President-elect LOWELL is in his fifty
third year, a patriarch according to
some modern notions. He is probably
the fittest man for the post, which it is
President ELIoT's fame to have made
difficult for any successor; and We wish
him long and fruitful tenure.

TIE DOWNFALL.
The Public Demand for the Record ef
Presidents Humiliation.
From ne N.w York Commerctai

From me Nsw York Commercial
IL is OF the greatest Significance that the
popular demand for copies OF the Con0res-
sioHdI Record OF Friday last Ia something
entirely unprecedented In the history OF
that publication. This demand cannot be
met. and so great In the pressure being made
on Senators and Representatives by the
constituents that Congressman Langley OF
Kentucky has introduced resolution call
Ing for an edition OF two million copies OF
the Record. n the resolution is adopted. as
II probably will be. this will be the largest
edition of single Record ever issued. And
why all this demand for q publication that
ordinarily possesses little or no interest
outside OF Congress itself and the news
paper offices2 Simply this: that the issue
OF Friday, January 4. contains In exact de-
tail the proceedings OF the House OF Repre-
sentstives when the secret service portion
OF President Roosevelt's regular message
was under discussion as the subject OF
denunciatory report and was finally laid
on the table, along with the Presidents
other message In reply to the Houses re-
quest for information. Briefly. millions OF
the American people want to read and TO
preserve the Official Government record OF
the humiliation Of President OF the United
States-a record wherein the lower branch
OF Congress virtually declares that he Is
guilty Of untruthiulness. IL In not little
that only four years and two
months after the electorate OF his country
made Theodore Roosevelt President by
plurality OF 2.5t5.S1S votes over his Demo-
cratic opponent nearly as many people as
that plurality are eager to pos
sess the oficial record OF his discrediting.
