Roosevelt is home. He arrived N
schedule and New York greeted him
something like this: fs,r
Crack! Boom! Toot-toot! Hurray.
Has anybody here seen Teddy? Three
cheers! Followed by three cheers
and several more) What's the mat
ter with Oh, you Teddy Siss-
boom! T-o-o-o-o-t! Whoop Wow.
Roosevelt forever! He's coming!
Y-e-e-e-h-o-o-o! Bling! Bang! Tump-e-
tump-tump! Ow-ow-ow! Hurray for
Teddy! Hoop-la! Hail to the chief!
My country, It's loot! Boom!
Crash!
The American people are waiting 70

virtual emperor, that he will eud the
republic and that he will be the begin,
ming of "the new dark ages" Thus
the thing is seen to be not without
an element of the fantastic, especially
when dealt with by fantastic mind
It is perhaps as well to keep ourselves
within the bounds of sanity when deal
Ing with Roosevelt or with other things
As to whether he will or will not be
come presidential candidate he alone
can answer. OF only two things are
We sure-that he will have the great
est reception ever given an American
citizen on his Homecoming and that
he will go to Cheyenne in August and
presumably will greet certain bevies
and swarms Of delighted citizens on
the way and back. This much will
come of the suggestion of a western
of San Francisco and tear up the vocal
apparatus of the country on his way
east. That he could not do because it
would bring him home too late for his
sons wedding. But he yielded to the
suggestion to the extent of taking n
later round trip to Cheyenne. Be-
yond these meager details 1t Is given
out that he will lecture. write books
and help to edit the Outlook. What
else the future holds for him and fo;
US the American people and Theodore
Roosevelt himself alone can tell.
Z Certain 1t is that he will have plenty
to do after he informs himself OF what
has taken place during his fifteen
months absence, and whatever he
does 1t will keep the country on the
jump. It is impossible that his per-
ennial energies should be bottled.
They will find an outlet, and political
outlet Mt that. OF late the adviccs
have linked his name with an ambi-
tious tour of twenty-four states, with
an address at one big mass meeting in
each. This tour is to be made in con-
nection with the Cheyenne trip, and
the fortunate commonwealths included
are as follows:
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
Wisconsin. Minnesota, South Dakota.
Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Ala,
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Car.
olina, North Carolina. Virginia, Penn
sylvania. Maryland, Delaware and

Walter Wellman, who has been with
him on the European tour, intimates
that II the country demands it Roose-
welt will again run for president. Nv
the way, Wellman in one of his letters
has a touch that is too good to be lost
1t recounts how young Englishman
came down to the wharf in Eeynt to
see the former president. He gazed
long and earnestly at that picture Of
health. Then he turned and said.
And just to think that man is now rs.
