The retirement of Senator Foraker

ably mean the end of his public career.
But in the light Of the long years Of
political struggle of ups and downs
which have made up that career, it does
not seem safe 10 be certain about any
thing
Foraker has indeed been a stormy
petrol of politics. Where He was there
might be found the center Of disturb
auce. He was a soldier in the Union
army at sixteen years and fought clear
through the war, earning a commission
by Eauantry- He has been fighting ever
since. lie has never had time to dis
cover that the war is over, because for
him it has never been over.
Foraker fought all the machines jU
his State, one by one. until az last H..
got to the top and came to have one o.
his own. and now at last his organiza-
ti0u iu turn has been wTeuChed from
him by the Taft-Roosevelt Presidential
forces, his Senatorial tOga goes along,
and Foraker retires under circumstances
which, especially at his age, render very
doubtful mis- political rehabilitation. He
