AnttKAT ex-president has said that an ex-jireslilent of Hie I'nlteil States Is u non entity. To some ili'RTPe the same may be said of'the vice-president. As a r.iie the most that Is ever heatd of him is iluiltiK the cnmpalun. Wu enture to ay that If the iivci-ukp ln telllKent citizen weie asked to name the vlce-piesldents tor the past twenty live yea i n he would find It a dlllicult task, so little Is' the public inliid Im pressed with the olllee a vice-president Mils. He Is mentioned but eiy few times In the constitution or the I'nl ted State, and then, with but two ex ceptions, Incidentally with leKard to his election or Impeachment. In the other Initiim-tti his duty as piesldliiK olllcer of the senate Is stated In two lines, and the tact Is noted that In case of the piesldent's lemoval by death or other wise he Is to serve in place of the chief cM'CUtlxf. In a wonl, tlie piliKlpal use of a vli ('-president seems lo be KPIieially that of furnishing campaign thun der, lo balance the tlekit and act as a ionolntloii pilze to the ills nll'eited He Is often selected mote fi 'im a seoKiaphlcil stand point than for any other reason or illness. He Is poittayed on uiin p.ilKh banners and exploited as a Pleat man for a little time and that Is the end of it in no respect is our distinctiveness as a Republic mine muiked than in lite selection of a man upon whom at any moment may fall the cliiet executive's lexponslbinjies. I'nder monarchial In stitution. Iouk training uud lietedltaiy Instinct aie supposed to lit a rtllei tor the thione l-'ioiu childhood this train ing s continued and the Instructions In state-ciatt and diplomacy are con sldeied as Impoitant as lessons In lan guage. We aim to select n man peeul lai ly adapted in mind and expeiience lo be out president but an a itile we take far less caie In the choice of his possible successor. Kven alter his election we give him olllclally no op portunity to collie clte-fl.i Into Much with the eeiutlve alfalis of the nation. He Is not a member ot the piesldent's cabinet. Theie Is no law of even courtes which demands thai he shall In consulted on1 the smallest detail of national questions. He does preside over the senate. Kuitliei than that we make no claims upon his lime or abili ties. In the i;ix of Colonel Koosevelt his select Ion dlffeied (loin many otheis In our country's hlstoiy In that by ion son of his Intense actlvlt and his fa milial Ity with gieat public mattci. he was pecullaily titled lo lollow as able a state-man and one witli such superb diplomatic poweis ns the man whom we mourn today. Yet even I'lesident Itoosevelt will be obliged to ask many questions 111 attempting to lontiniie tile policy ot the gieatest ruler of mod el n times. There are alwa.vs possibilities that the piPt-ltleiit may die In olllee Hod forbid thai It should ever again be by the hand ol an assassin and suielv the man who must In such an event fill this po-ltlon should be given every opor tunlly to bcoiue familiar with every detail of the administration's policy. Is It not possible, that our wisest thinkers m,i coon deem It necessary to ask for an amendment to the con stitution making the lce-piesldent a nieuibei of the president's cabinet V The guess Is made tll Slnalor Lodge will hugely shape the new executive's policy. It Is Inacciiiate. Ills policy has nheady been shaped and accepted. And the simper theieof was the late William .McKlnley. Coincidences. O.Mi: NOTRWOHTIIV colnol- dencc ale pointed out by Milton 11 Northrun. Syra cuse's veteran edltoi, In the I'Kst-.Staudaiil of that city. "Twenty enrs ago, as now," he writes, "a New Ymk vice-president succeeded to the piesldeney tluough a vacancy caused by the hand of an assassin. Then, as now, the stricken piesldent was an Ohloan. C.arlleld and McKluley weie produVts of the West ern Iteserve. while thelt suciessois, Arthur and Itonsevelt, weie citizens of the metropolis, (inrtlcld died In the seventh month of his term; .Mc Kluley in the M-vcnth of his. Among the witnesses of Atthur's oath-taking, In lil pilvate parlor in New Votk, was I-'lihu Hoot, who, although then hut a tew yents at the liar, had alteady achieved national fame as a lawyer. I 'Mini Knot has been one of the pillars of the McKlnley administration. It la safe to pi edict that he will he no less a power In the administration of 1'ies lilent Koosevelt. When. In the strug. gle for the Heptibllcan nomination for governor of New Yoik state In the fall of 189S, the opponents of Colonel Roosevelt sought his defeat on the giound of Ineligibility because of non i wldence in the slate. It will bo ie. called that It was ICIlhu Hoofs master ly speeih before the state convention which dissipated nil fears In this dl lection and removed the Ian obstacle to lloosevelt's nomination. "Theodore Roosevelt is the llfth New Yotkci to tome to the piosldent's chair; and It is remarkable that, of the live, thteo have leached this petition through death of the ptcsldeni. The tlrst of the ilvo was Mlllaid Kllhnore, who bat In the pi evidential ihalr Just fifty years ngo, and whose home, In which he died, was only a block 5 or two fiom the now historic Mllhurn house that has witnessed the pnthetle deathbed scenes of the Inte piesldent. John Tyler and Andtew .lohtmon, both coutheineis the one fiont Virginia, the other from Tennessee constitute the lemalnder of the list of vlee-ptesl-(lenls who weie inlled upon tu net us picsldents. "It Is Hlgnllicant thnt of the live pieslilents of this Republic whom death hns overtuken In olllee three met death fi-om violence. Four of the live died In the Mist year at the terms they were then serving. The elder Harrison, the lht president to die In olllee, lived but one month after his Inauguration. I.lnioln, after his second Inauguration, lived but one month and eleven days. I'lesident Taylor1, when death over look him, had completed Ills Hist year and was moie than u third of the vvn tluough his seiond yeut. Only two New Yorkers have sat in the chair of president by the votes of the people .Martin Van Hurcn and drover Cleve land. The death of I'lesident McKln ley leaves Cleveland the only mall liv ing who wiih elected piesldent of the I'nltcd Stales." In an Impoitant particular William -McKlnley dllfeied fiom many cotitem poiary public men He had the Millet i outage of his convictions. He was not dogmatic but he wns lit in. He "kept his eur lo the ground," not to learn what policies to advocate, hut when was the most favorable time to put Into effect the policies he had already shaped. He was a politician and a statesman combined. The epected battle of the doetois has begun. In a shoit time thousands of obscure physicians and surgeons, too "piofpsMlon.il" to pay for their ad veitlsing, as meiehaiits do, wlllbedelug inp the papers with lctteia telling how much moie they knew of the Mllhurn hoiiM' case than was known by the em inent idiyslclans and surgeons In dim Be. If there were any leasonlng in the minds of anarihlsts. which theie Is not, how disappointed they should be to discover that Czolgos.'s bullet. In stead of weakening our government, has, by its .summons to American pa tilutlsm, made it all the stionger. Press Greetings to th? New President A Satlsfnctoiy Inaugural.
