Mr.. Roosevelt and the Future.

The New Yorker who bases his predic-
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt will be his party 5
next candidate for mayor Of that town on
the fact that the mayoralty is the one
office Mr.. Roosevelt has failed to get after
seeking. and that on that account the
office is sort of challenge to him. cites
true history, even if he should miss his
guess about the man.
In nearly thirty years of Office holding
and great success in office, the mayoralty
of New York stands out as Mr.. Roose-
velt's one miss. First came his election to
the New York assembly Then his ap-
pointment as civil service commissioner.
Then his appointment as police commits
sioner in New York. Then his appoint
ment as assistant secretary of the navy.
Then his election as Governor of New
York. Then his election as Vice Presi-
dent, and then his election as President.
But in three-cornered race for mayor Of
New York he was badly defeated. Does
the memory haunt him? And would he
repair it?
New Workers like home. 1t is one of
their strong qualities. Sometimes it be-
comes too strong. They are apt to forget
that there is a country outside of their
state. All west of Buffalo counts for lit
tie with many of them. Some Of them
prefer Office at home to Office elsewhere.
In early days New Yorker would leave
Washington for a place at home. And
today the spirit continues. Tim
Sullivan-in many things typical New
York poltician-tried Washington for a
year or SO, but yielded to his longing for
Albany and returned there. With him a
state senatorship outweighed a seat in
the national House of Representatives. :.
All sorts of speculation has been In
dulged In about Mr.. Roosevelt's future.
He is leaving the White House at an age
when many men are but beginning in
politics His official honors' have been
crowned with the highest honor of all.
But he is not going out of politics. He is
both too young and too fond of the game.
and plays it too well. for that. His writ
ing engagement will occupy but small
portion of his time. 1t seems altogether
likely, therefore. that he will try for
office again. But what office?
Here is a suggestion about the mayor
atty of New York There is another about
the seat in the Senate now occupied by
Mr.. Depew. And many believe Mr.. R0ose-
Welt would make a capital governor gem
eral of the Philippines. Still others think
he would find the job of his life superin-
tending the completion of the Panama
canal. And there are politicians who
would not be surprised to see Mr. Roose-
Welt offer again for the presidency.
1t is an interesting subject; The man
is in class all by himself. and no career
that has gone before affords any standards
of comparison, or means of reading the
riddle.

That Students Row at Frisco.

The Japanese vice consul at San
Francisco seems to have said the fit
word about the attack on the japanese
student in the grounds of the Univef-
sity of California. In itself it is case
for the police court. And let us hope 1t
may go there, and end there.
At the same time it is one of those
small things which when delicate neSo-
tations are in progress about large
things contain the germs of trouble
We counsel patience on the part OF the
Japanese, and it is good counsel But
it is easy to see how sentiment in this
country would be stirred were the con-
ditions reversed. Were an American
student i'm Japan set upon by hall
dozen japanese students and kicked
and cuffed about we should all feel in
dignant. And if the young American
complained to his country's representa-
tive in Japan and the representative
took the matter up we should think 1t
both proper and natural.
President Wheeler is not certain that
the assailants were students. The uni
versity grounds are open to the public.
and visiting rowdies might have done
the deed. Maybe. The probability,
legislators are openly abusing the Jap
anese, and urging 1.-The enactment OF
laws prejudiciaI to the treaty rights
of Japanese in this country, are
college boys on the scene likely to be
miracles of liberation and discretion:
The responsibility, as we all know. is
higher than the college boys. Those real
ly responsible are the men. in the Cali
fornia legislature and out, who are trying
10 persuade us that Japan is our enemy
and preparing TO attack us: that war Is
close upon us and we should hurry to
get ready. Though not SO intended, this
:ncites the immature and the reckless to
violence. No half-baked boy of eXcitable
temperament, or full-Srown mobile, needs
more to set him off. He wants a go
at the first Japanese he lays his eyes
on. In his opinion, derived from reading
anti-JapaneSe TRADES, every man of them
in America is a spy helping along the
anti-American program, and all should be
put aboard ship and deported at once.
This is the basis of the trouble. Japan's
professions of friendship go for nothing.
The assurances of President Roosevelt
who has official knowledge of many
things unknown to the multitude and
whose responsibility is great. go for moth
ing. The spirit of the mob is to hit
Japanese head upon any old trumped-up
provocation. Consequences? What do
college boys in anger care about conse-
quences? And as for the mobiles. they
want war. They have been told that if
we do not hit the first lick, and pretty
quick, Japan will, and have us at a dis
advantage. That is the story.

Ruling Out Drunkenness.
rom the Columbus Journal

The Medical Society of Philadelphia has
prepared bill, which it will urge the leg
slature to enact into law. providing for
the forfeit of his license and expulsion
from the professor Of any physician who
stupefies himself with liquor or drugs. a
good law that. 1t is bad enough for any
body to get drunk or to muddle his brain
with drugs. but for doctor to do it
would be INDUSTRIOUS. He is liable to be
called upon at any time to minister to

mans life when he needs clear head
and clean heart, it is when he is work

.Americanization of Canada.

From the f0lUOn ODsefveT.
The Canadian problem is a cause OF
grave and increasing and well justified
anxiety TO all thoughtful imperialists. The
Dominion Is literally saturated with
American influence. and. in spite OF Lord
Grey's splendid and devoted efforts. the
imperial sentiment is weakening in the
absence of any vigorous effort to promote
it ON the part of the mother country.

Political Tendency.

There is distinct tendency reasserting
itself within both parties. 1t is a ten
dency to emphasize government by par

and to keep Presidents and governors
within the bounds of their constitution

dency simultaneously affects both parties,

Of the Blue Front. five flights up from

colder every moment.
Suddenly, Bill's right foot slipped,
there followed crash Of glass, and he
fell. He reached out to save himself
and the gun went skimming across the
roof like pebble on the water. There
