Tliomlore Itoosevelt, who has become prosltlent of the United Stales through the leath of Mr. McKlnley, lor two tlecmlrn iwit has bii one of the most unique nml picturesque figures In American public life, soys the New York Time.

Mr. Itooaerelt tbe man Is the exact physical antithesis of Theodore Itoose volt tbe Iwjr, thomci) the toeiital charac teristics exhibited In early youth by the iwesldent are conceded to be tbe nme as those which bare how made him f mows. l'roin n romantic and norellstlc point of view Theodore Iloostvelt stnrtwl life with two of the greatest handicaps an ambitious youth could hnve wealth and 111 hcnlth. In further contraven tion of well established tradition con cerning nntlonul heroes the president was born In n great city. Ills birth plnco was 28 Hast Twentieth street, New York city; the date, Oct 27, 1653, which makes him the youngest of nil the presidents. IIIm father, Theodore, was n wealthy descendant of an old Knickerbocker family ond was well known throughout tho city ns n philan thropist and pntrlot. Ills mother was n dcKcciiduut of Archibald Ilullock, first presldcut of Georgia durlus the devolution. Klglit generations of President Iloose velt's family hnvo lived In New York, nml from the middle of the seventeenth century the name has been common In the annals of the city, hnvlng been til inost equally prominent In political, business and social affairs. The found er of the family In America wuh KIiiss Mnrenson Itooscvclt, who came from Holland In 1011 and settled In New York. The young Theodore Is described In early youth ns n "weak eyed, pig chest ed boy, too frail to take part In thu aportH of lads of his nge." Though frnll, however, young Theodore, or "Teddy," as ho was familiarly called by his playniatCH, a name which clunir to 1 ) I in In later years was not nt all lacking In ambition or In courage. In the veins of IiIh ancestors there flowed Dutch, Irish, Scotch and French Hu guenot blood. "He obtained his nnme," writes one of his blogrnpherH, "from the Dutch, from tlio .Scotch IiIh obstinacy, from tho French bis Impetuosity and from the Irish his 'blarney, or gift of tongue." Young Roosevelt was sent to private kcIiooIh during his early school years and preparation for Harvard universi ty to avoid the rough treatment of boys In the public schools. He entered Har vard with the determination to make n man of himself mentally and physical ly. Ity obedience to the lawn of he. I'ti nd careful exercise the puny, sickly boy grew to robust manhood. At Har vard the tastes of young Itooscvclt. al ready exhibited, for naturol history nml hunting wore plainly manifested. His rllle, with which tho hud roamed the woods In summer near his Oyuter Day home, with the trophies of the chase, wero tho most conspicuous ob jects In his room. Dive turtles, other animals and Insects wero kept fre quently In his room. His stubborn de fense of bis own convictions even ngalnst the opinion of his Instructors nie still remembered by his classmates with vividness. Athletes at Harvard received from him due consideration. He soon bo emtio thu champion lightweight boxer In tho gymnasium. Not long since Mr. Itoosevelt said about this boxing: "When I was In Harvard and sparred for the championship, 1 suffered a heavier punishment than any man there did, and I have been knocked out ut polo twlco. I thoroughly believe In boxing and football nnd other rough nnd manly games." Young Itoosevelt was also n fair cntelwu-entcli-cnn wrestler, a good runner and a lively polo player. For a time ho was cap tain of tho college polo club. Under his captaincy the team never won a championship. Young Itoosevelt was graduated from Harvard In 1SS0 and, though a close student, with uo Impairment of health. After extended travel In lixi rope he returned to She United States, studied law for a few mouths and then plunged at once into tho uiael Htroin of municipal (tolltles. lie was elected In 1X81 as nsseniblyman from the Twenly tirst assembly district. At Albany ho was promptly dubbed h "silk stocking' and n "freak" of a jwp lllar election. Mr. Itoosevelt, then but twenty-three years old. soon succeeded in making himself a storm center. In his opinion "politics and war are the two biggest games that arc played." In one year Mr. Itoosevelt was known nil over the country as a new power In the Albany halls of legislation. His best known work In the legislature at this time was In connection with the passage of tho acts abolishing tho fee system In county olllces nnd In deprlv lug the board of aldermen of their veto p.wr of the mayors appointments. TLi win a n lb- of the 1 wn-d regime. In i4-! Mr. Itoosevelt went to ('bit-ago as balrinoii of the New York delega tion to the lti-publlcan national f-tiTpti-tlon. He opposed tbe nomination of Maine, but when Mr. Itlalne tK-'-nni" the Hi-pnbllcan choice Mr. Itxmevelt fell Into line and worked for tbe party candidate's sutci-ss. The next t y.nra of tin- president s life bore anexp--til and unforeseen fruit They mode him an author, pav ed his way for apiolntnient as assist ant secretary of tbe navy and undoubt edly Buppested to him the formation of the famous regiment of rough riders. After retirement from the legislature Mr. Itoosevelt went each summer to tbe ranch Le had purcuawd in the Itad Inds of North Dakota. He became there an expert rider of tin- vicious horse and gained a reputation as n courageous man. an indefatigable hunt er of big game and a sportsman of abil ity. There he became Intimately ac quainted with tbe ranchmen, rustlers ami cow punchers who subsequently formed tbe nucleus of the regiment of rough riders. In 1386 Itoosevelt was again In the turmoil of New York city politics. Henry George was a candidate for mayor. A brum S. Hewitt was thu nominee of the Democrats. Mr. Itoose Telt was pot In tbe Held by the Repub licans. Mr. Hewitt won. Itoosevelt next attracted notice as n hunter of big game. He delighted In hunting (he grlxsly bean and other fierce wild animals of tho west rre' Jent Harrison It. 1880 nj pointed .Mr. Itoosevelt United States civil serv ice commissioner. lie was a Arm be liever In the competitive merit system uud put his Ideas In force at once. I'rcsldeut Cleveland retained him In olllee, although Mr. Itoosevelt resigned In 181)5 to become president of tho New Y'ork board of police commissioners. The police department had Ju.U been exposed ns corrupt to such an extent that many felt that ouly a reorganiza tion would work any radical Improve ment. The Itoosevelt police regime Is remembered yet In the police depnrt- mnt ns one of thu ablest the depart ment ever knew. Under Mr. Itoose velt tho morale of the force became higher than It has ever been since, nnd the elllclency of the men advanced In proportion. Mr. Itoosevelt began by saying what he meant. He told thu police to be honest nnd that If they were not they would suffer for It and that If they were they would not be persecuted therefor by any Individual or political party. He determined that the law requiring bunduy closing or saloons must be enforced. He enforc ed It This net aroused much criticism from press and pr -le, but It effectual ly stopped the ponce blackmail of su- loon keepers. President McKlnley nominnted Mr. Itoosevelt on April 11, 18117, to bo assist ant secretary of the navy. From the very first he foresaw the possibility of a conflict with .Spain, nnd he set about preparing his department for It He left nothing undone that could secure the highest elllclency In tho service when the time for action came. When actual hostilities began. Mr. Itoosevelt resigned his post In the navy depart nient, returned to tho Had Lands and organized a regiment of rough riders. He did not think his oxperlence was sullleleut to qualify lit m to command a regiment, nnd so when tho rough rid ers were organized ho declined to be come colonel. He beenmo tho second In command. Dr. Leonard Wood was made colonel. The history of Itoosevelt and his rough riders during the Snntlago cam- pulgn Is too well known to be repeated After Guaslmns and San Juan Hill Colonel Wood was made n brigadier general ami Lieutenant Colonel Itoose velt the regiment's colouol. After the campaign was over Colonel Itoosevelt returned to tho United States, tbe Idol of the country. Ho found himself nl ready talked of for tho gubornatorlol nomination of this state. Not until ho was n prlvato citizen again, on Sept. 15, would he talk politics. Ho then en tered Into tbe campaign with his cus ternary vigor and impetuosity and was, after nomination at Saratoga by thu Republican convention on Sept. 27. 1SU.S, elected governor of tint state of Now York over Augustus Van Wyck, the Democratic eandhidate, by 17.7SU vote. Front the governor's ohnlr to tho vice presidency wits but a step, although an unwilling one, for Mr. Roosevelt. He was nominated nt Philadelphia .Mine 21, 11)00. for tho second highest olllee In the gift of the peoplu of the United Stntes. Mr. Roosevelt was unwilling to have his iiitino presented to the eon ventlon, declaring (hut ho did not de sire the nomination. Tho popular tie urn ml for his nomination was so great that he liimlly was forced to yield to the delegates' desire and accept the nomination ns President McKluley's running mate. Ouo of the most astonishing things in the president's life Is the groat amount of literary work ho bus accomplished despite his manifold other concerns, He began to write before he left Har vard, and In the year after he was graduated he produced bis "Naval War of ISI'2." Do wrote n "Life of Thomas 11. Hen ton" and also a blog raphy of Oouverneur Morris, which was followed lu 1S88 by his "Raueh Life and Hunting Trail," which proved a very popular IkkIc. "Tbe Wlnniug of the West." however, lie considers his greatest literary work. Other productions of his ion are "Historic Towns," "History of New York City." "Kssays on Practical Pol Itlcs" ami "The Wilderness Hunter.' He also wrote "American Political Ido ills" uud, In collaboration with Henry Cabot Lodge, produced it volume entl tied "Hem Tales From American Ills tory."

Liiomla Sn,'a Our Siati-r It.-pulillca IlilVL- to I, earn Hcaiioiiallilllly, Francis It. Loomls, minister to Por tugal and former minister to Venezue la, recently lectured before the Nnvnl War college class at Newport, H. I., tnkhiK as his text "South American Relations." He said In substance: "It cannot be doubted by those fa miliar with conditions In certain Latin American countries lu the tropical part of .South and Central America that some of the most embarrassing ques tions which the United Stntes will have to meet In the future will nrlse from Its relations with those republics. These questions, of a dllllcult and delicate nature, will arise through no fault of the government of the United States. "The world has ns yet made no de mand upon the productive cnpnclty of South nnd Central America. This lost portion of the western hemisphere han been reserved for the future. Hut In the strenuous rivalry for vaster com mercial relations every nvnllable part of the earth's surface will be scanned, nnd one way or another every land will have to respond to tho world's de mand. "If our commercial sway Is to he widened, the building of an Isthmus canal Is the first essential stop In that .direction, and It logically follows that control of tho canal must be with us. Tho building of an Isthmus cnnul will be of enormous benefit to tho Latin American republics bordering tho Car ibbean sen. "It hoonis to me, however, thnt 0110 of the plain duties which the Immedi ate future will enforce upon tho gov ernment of the United Stntes will be that of Insisting upon a hlghor degree of responsibility on tho part of some of tho republics In tropical Lntln-Amerl-ca. This will not bo n pleasant duty, but It Is one that will have to bo per formed, and, on tho whole, perhaps tho Hoonor It Is done tho better will It be for the world In general."
