country to live with his children.
i Morrisville News and Citizen.
There has been some talk. for a
day or two past about the especial
qualifications" which Mr.. Elihu
Root does or does not possess for
the office to which the President has
now appointed him. Let nobody
disturb himself about Mr.. Roots
stock of special qualifications. He
has lot of them and in the list you
will surely find brains, force of char
acter, honesty of purpose, uncommon
experience Of men and OF the ways of
men, congenial and carefully trained
faculty for doing things in the right
way to produce the desired result.
These will do to start with, we
should say. Perhaps Mr.. Root will
develop some more special qnali6ca-
tions later on. He is a very energetic
person; and the best thing about his
main spring is that it is regulated by
a remarkably well-adjusted escape
