President Theodore Roosevelt.
President Theodore Roosevelt ! The
title, the honors and the colossal bur
dens of the highest office in the greatest
nation in the world have come to him
prematurely, but he will wear and bear
them well. Of that, no one need have
thesliglt st fear. He will prove him
self worthy in every single regard of his
proud position and he will win such
favor that the nation willbe glad to con
tinue him at the head of public affairs.
Mr. Roosevelt will not suffer the fate
of his predecessors elevated by accident
or crime to the presidency, Of that.
none need have any misgivings, He will
wear the mantle of President McKinley
right nobly and well and his adminis
tration will not stiffer by comparison,
except, perhaps, in the eyes of those of
whose opinions lie will be utterly indif
ferent.
President Roosevelt would gladly give
up his present honors and all that he
ma v most reasonably expect, if be could
thereby restore his beloved ami revered
chief to life. His ambition never for one
single fraction of a second caused him to
feel anything but the most profound sol
icit mlc for the stricken chief magistrate.
His pr.a vers—he is as consistent and ear
nest a Christian as the departed presi
dent—were ever for recovery. He would
«almost have given his own life if the sac
rifice would have availed. It is true—
and to his glorious honor—that he had
set himself the task of winning the presi
dency, but he wanted it only by the di
rect suffrages of the people. No one can
tell what profound sorrow the news of
death brought to him.
Mr. Roosevelt is the youngest man that
has ever occupied the prcsidental chair.
But what of that ? No one will denv
that lie is well equipped for the duties ol
the grandest of offices, lie has been for
over twenty years a student of state
craft ami lor almost as long lie has held
positions of eminent responsibility. As
legislator of New York, «as civil service
commissioner, as reform police commis
sioner of New York cil v, «asorganizer and
colonel of the world renowned Rough
Riders, «as assistant secretary of the navy
«at a crucial period and then as governor
of the liinpire state, he never failed his
friends and followers in one iota. I lis re
cord was clean ami clear «ami brilliant —
that ol thorough statesman in every one
ol those offices. Even lii.s bitterest ene
mies could fiml surprising little to crap
at anv where ami their hatred was forced
to content itself with caricature ami car
toon, with no solidity to their assaults.
As vice president, Mr. Roosevelt reas
Burcd the confidence of his friends and
confounded his foes. He presided over
the senate with raredignitv and firmness
and won the highest respect and confi
dence of statesmen old enough to be his
father, lie made no mistakes of judg
ment and his rulings were impartial and
just, while he held all in superb con
trol.
In taking the oath ofoffice of president,
Mr. Roosevelt declared that lie proposed
to carry out “absolutely and without
change the policy of President McKinlev
for the pcave and prosperity of our be
loved country.” That he will do this in
a manner to win encomiums from all
wholTe respect he cares, is beyond que -
tionl He will do all that in him lies to
keep pile United States at the head of the
worl/las the great jieacefiil power and
lue will strive ever to add to its marvel
ous pros|ierity. He will not fail in the
slightest, for failure is « t word of which
he is absolutely ignorant.
Mr. Roosevelt represents the younger
generation of men—those who have risen
to pre-eminence entirely apart from the
civil war. _________________
