By JAMES A. EDCERTON.
~HE career of Theodore Roose-
welt has been full Of paradoxes,
but the greatest paradox of all
has now come to light. He is
trying to effact himself He, the high
priest Of self assertion, has suddenly
become the worlds most conspicuous
example Of self abnegation. 1t tran
spires that his chief reason for going
ito Africa is that he may take himself
out of Mr.. Taft's way. Roosevelt
wants his successor to have a free
hand, to be his own president He
win stop the mouths of all those who
would place the brand ST. r." on the
Taft administration. To make sure
that their mouths are stopped he will
betake himself to the most inaccessible
part Of the earth's surface. He will
cut the wires with civilization and
bury himself for year in the African
jungle. It has been said that s.greater
love hath no man than this-that q
man lay down his life for his friend"
but I am not sure. For man of
Roosevelt's type to efface himself for
friend must be even a greater sacri-
fee.
If this was really the determining
motive in the African trip, as friends
Of Roosevelt assert, it is the greatest
thing he ever did. And for the truth
Of it we have not only their word, but
corroborative evidence. Indeed, the re-

specimens collected will be sent. It
was reported recently that F. C.
Selous, the famous African hunter,
will also join the party.
At Naples the members of the expe-
dition will take steamer for Kiln
DIM harbor, Mombasa island, which
they will reach about the end of April.
They will then proceed by the Uganda
railway to Nairobi, which will be their
base of supplies for the big hunt. Mai
robi is 1927 miles up the line from Nom
hasa. In this section of Africa there
are two rainy seasons, one in the
spring and another shorter one in the
late fall The aim Of Mr.. Roosevelt
and his associates is to take advantage
of the six months between the two
seasons. In October the expedition will
go on by rail to Port Florence, on Lake
Victoria Nyanza, making journey of
5S4 miles by rail all told. It will then
cross the Uganda by caravan, doing
some hunting and exploring doubtless
on the way, and then will pass down
the whole length of the Nile, reaching
Khartum about April, 1910. There,
according to present plans, it will be
Joined by Mrs. Roosevelt, who will ac-
company her husband down the river
to Cairo.
Here the expedition will separate,
the scientists returning at once to the
United States, the Roosevelts proceed
ing to Europe, where they will spend
year on the continent and in Eng
land. During this time Mr.. Roosevelt
will deliver the Romanes lecture at
Oxford, will give an address at the
Sorbonne, in Paris, and another before
the University of Berlin, in which city
he will be the guest of the kaiser. He
will also visit the home of his ances-
tors in Holland and there will proba-
bly, speak again. Each Of these lee
lures, as before mentioned, will be in
the language Of the country in which
it is delivered. Here is the bare out
line Of the two years outing as it has
been given to the press, presumably
from inspired sources. Flesh the skel-
eton with action, adventure, danger,
exploration, discovery, slaughter, rough
riding, strenuosity- a word, with

fusal to run for a third term was
proof in itself. So was the tactful and
considerate act Of letting Taft ride
back to the White House alone. Not
without bearing, too, is Mr.. Roosevelts
firm stand that he will not be inter-
viewed or allow his picture in the
papers. The further fact that no news
paper correspondent will be permitted
to accompany him to Africa and his
declared purpose that when he visits
Europe at the end Of the African trip
it will be quietly and without ostenta-
ton are actions in kind. Is this new
Roosevelt or only new view of the
old Roosevelt? At any rate, it is so
novel and welcome that for one have
not yet recovered from the wonder
of it.
, Will He Come Back Alive?
Professor Frederick Starr of the Chi
cago university, himself an African
traveler Of some note, has been report
ed as saying that Roosevelt will never
return from the dark continent alive
not that the beasts will get him, but
the fevers. Ex-senator Thomas C.
PLAT, who admits that he made Roose-
welt governor and vice president, says
the same thing, and, while Plat is not
ian authority on Africa, he should be an
expert on death-at least of the polit-
ical variety. On the other hand, Carl
tAkely, the taxidermist of the Field mu-
scum, who has been over practically the
same ground that Roosevelt will trav-
erse, says the ex-president will be as
safe in Africa as he would he in Oyster
Bay and safer than in Chicago. Where
doctors thus disagree suppose the rest
(of US are entitled to form our own con-
illusions. At any rate, am going to
form mine, and here it is: Neither Pro-
Ifessor Starr nor Senator Plat nor all
the pessimists combined can kill off
Theodore Roosevelt in Africa. In spite
of fevers, mosquitoes, tsetse flies,
sleeping sickness and beasts of the jun
lyle, lie will come forth unscathed. Has
he not braved Hartman and the ami
Imals Of Wall street? Has Africa any
Eterrors for him after that? Not any.

QUEER COINCIDENCE.
Birthdays Of Martyr Presidents Come
on Same Day Of tho Week.

A somewhat remarkable cofnct'
dence was brought to the attention OF
the congregation at the First NJ. E.
Church yesterday by the Rev. G. D.
Smith. Rev. Smith showed that the
birthdays OF the three martyr Prest-
dsnts OF the United States oil come
on the same day Of the week, and on
the same day Of the week also as
Christmas and New Years. The dates
all come on Friday this year and they
always come on the same day In the
week. Tho dates are rs follows: Gar.
Geld, November 10: Mckinley, J1nuary
20, and Lincoln. February IL.
or course there IS no significance in
the coincidcnt Of the dates al falling
on the same day Of the week but 1t is
Interesting.
