BRYAN, Roosevelt and the Senate.

In his reference to the Senate the other
night, Mr.. Bryan confessed that when
young he aspired to a seat in that body,
not that he was at present cherishing
such an aspiration. Those who wish to
make Mr.. Hitchcock uncomfortable have
another thought coming.
One can easily understand how seat
in the Senate appealed to the young man
in whom ambition was beginning to stir.
He had the stuff in him for eminent pub
lie service, and it was moving him to
dreams and plans. The Senate must
have looked both great and good.
Not improbably had he not scored with
his brilliant speech at Chicago in 1885,
he might at an opportune time have made
play for the Senate. He had had a taste
of the House. and while representative
had surveyed the Senate close up. And
close up the Senate looks to an expert
enced man as good as to gifted lad just
waking to opportunity.
But the Senate now u.s. or should be
out of Mr.. Bryan's calculations. He
scored at Chicago. and thereby developed
a quality taking him out of the Senate's
line. His work is of another kind, and
he does it not only effectively, but with
relish. Ills slItS dTc AOF dSltdtlOH dnu
entertainment, rather than for the de-
tails Of legislation. The Senate would cir
cumscribe his powers and opportunity. As
a senator he would be one Of many. AS
an eloquent agitator and entertainer he
is one of a few. There are not many in
his class.
Now and then it Is suggested that Mr.
Roosevelt may round up in the Senate
He would be as much out of place there
as Mr.. Bryan. His talents and tastes
are wholly unsenatorial. His forte is
agitation. True. when young he served
In tho New York legislature, and when
Governor Of New York, and, later, when
President. helped shape legislation. But

Goethals and New York.

From the New York Times.
We hope that no offer or appeal will
persuade Col. Goethals to accept the po-
lice sionership of New York city.
Col Goethals is the great builder. HIS
reputation belongs to the nation. TO the
world. He ought not to consent, we
ought not to ask him to consent, to take
the step down from that great place 10 q
civil appointment like the police commits
sionership. His reputation Is too rich a
possession to be imperiled in such way:
The police commissionership Is trust
which. within recent memory. no man
has accepted without misgiving or laid
aside save under some discredit. The
New York police commissioner is at the
mercy Of other men. Col. Goethals. 1t is
reported, imposes conditions that would
make the ONCE more Independent. less
dangerous to hold. These conditions
would evidently involve changes in exist
ing laws that it might be difficult or i'm
possible to secure. But even II the condi-
lions could be met. and although our need
is great, we think New York should not
ask Col Goethals to be its police COM
missioner, nor should he accept the place
if rendered. The country would be best
pleased, it would be best served. If he
should hold the chief post Of administra-
ton on the isthmus after the canal has
been finished and in operation. That
would be fitting and seemly.

Mexico.

1t is early to be casting lots for
Huerta's garments They have not yet
been stripped from his hack. He is a
stubborn fighter, and seems to be still
very much alive. His downfall has been
appointed frequently, the public has
begun to distrust predictions.
But. for arguments sake let us suppose
him done for-down and out-a prisoner
IN the hands of his enemies. or on board
ship making for Cuba or Europe What
then? Should we be permitted to name
his successor? Would the victors be dis
posed to refer the question to us?
Or. for arguments sake. let US suppose
the question referred to us. Should we
accept the responsibility If We did
should we not become answerable not
only to Mexico but to all outside powers
for the performances i'll office of the man
chosen? In a sense, he would be our
man-almost our agent and attorney in
fact-eXpected to keep his eyes trained
Americaward for a sign of approval or
the raising of an admonitory finger.
And upon whom would our choice fall?
There are some good and competent men
in Mexico, who know and love their coun-
try, and have had experience in public
affairs. They compare favorably with
our own public men in point of ability
We met one of them in debate last year
at the beginning of John Lind's special
mission and he stated the Mexican side
of the controversy with much diplomacy
and spirit. His paper was admired even
by his opponents.
But If Huerta is overthrow will not
the men acclaimed as victors-the men
who as commanders in the field have
borne the heat and burden of the day
insist on choosing the new leader and ar
ranging for an election? Will 1t be In
the nature of Carranza, Villa, Zapata and
the rest of the rough riders to suddenly
eface themselves and put the countrys
troubles up to the United States for set
Element: What less likely? What men
OF their class anywhere ever relinquishsd
advantages won by months of hard
fighting?
Upon whom, then. would their choice
fall? Carranza would feel qualified for
the task, and might aspire to it. But
would Villa and zapata consent? They,
Of course, could not reasonably aspire
to civil leadership. both being but rough
and uneducated fellows Of the bandit
class.
The remarkable QeVeiOp1iSul u lIiiiSS
is the consideration we are Obliged no"
to give Huerta in the equation. Admit
ting that he is bad lot from our point
Of view, it must also be admitted that
there are worse in Mexico. Should we
gain anything, or would Mexico pron''
by the substitution in the presidency OF
a man whose way there had been stained
with blood shed by bandits for man
who profited-though he holds himself
personally innocent-by the shedding OF
Madero's blood?
Our difficulties with regard to Mexico
are very great, and there is every reason
why both the President and Congress
should be giving them the thought re-
ported.

Ing patience and federation. He would
either languish and become unnatural
in such an environment. or else to save
himself. would resign and return to duties
congenial to his equipment.
The field Of agitation is always
open. and many enter; but few en-
trants in this country have done so
much there as Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roose-
welt. Both have the knack of interesting
crowds. Mr.. Roosevelt has been the
more favored by fate. Had death not
cleared the way for him. he might not
have reached the White House. He Wouio
certainly have tried to go from the vice
presidency to the presidency by the
regular means. but might have failed. his
radicalism might have disrupted his party
as Mr.. Bryan's did his W hen Mr.. Roose-
Welt ran in 1904 it was with the aid OF
the presidency in hand. When Mr.. Bryan
ran he had no such assistance.

New England Weather.

It is pleasant to learn that in the
opinion of Washington officials. New
England surpasses all the winterland
in her intelligent regard for weather.
OF course, every one knows that our
weather compels attention: New
and contrast; not even Texas has as
much weather to the square mile and
passing hour. Mark Twain's classic
diatribe on our climate Is the least
exaggerated Of his writings. But the
experts from the central Office mean
more. They agree that we not only
notice our weather. but seek to UNDER
stand 1t.

From the Buffalo Express.

Despite the adverse criticism. foot ball
seems to have lost none of its popularity.
According to figures compiled by Parke
Davis, Princeton's member of the rules
committee, 400 colleges and 5000 schools
were represented by foot ball elevens
last fall. The 1900 games played by
these teams were viewed by some 49,,
OOO, 600 spectators and participated in by
10000 players.
