ConcernltiK Vice-Presidents.
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.
