ROOT To RESIGN.
Will Leave the Document in
Presidents Hands
To Be Used if Necessary Before His
Return from Europe.
Expected, However, That Will Be Held
Till Congress Meets.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Bcfore Secrc-
tary Root sails for London to sit with
the Alaskan commission he will place
his resignation in the hands of Presi-
dent Roosevelt IN order that the Presi-
dent may appoint secretary of war
if it is deemed necessary during MIR.
Roots absence. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the resignation will not be
acted upon until after Congress meets.
The appointment of Mr.. Roots sue
cessor will depend somewhat upon the
length of time that Secretary Root will
be engaged upon the Alaskan boun-
dairy commission.
1t has been known for some time
that Secretary Root intended to retire
but he did not wish to leave the dc
partment until the general staff bill
was in operation and other matters
pertaining to the department We're well
under way. 1t is understood that the
matter of his successor has been dis
cuSSed and While nothing official can
be obtained it is believed that the po-
sition will be rendered to GOV. Taft
While Secretary Root is in London
he will remain in communication with
the war department and matters per-
tanning to the general staff and other
important affairs will be referred to
him. If the sittings of the Alaskan
commission extend beyond Dec. !, it
is likely that the secretary's resigna-
ton will be accepted and his successor
appointed at that time. If thee situa-
ton in the war department becomes
such that secretary is needed to take
charge of affairs. one will be appointed
earlier. 1t is believed here that there
will be Il great deal of delay in con-
sideration of the Ala skan boundary
case and that the United States COM
missioners may be detained in Lon
don several months
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds His family does not like the
life in Washington and the secretary
desires also TO return to his law prac-
tiCe in New York city. The great
questions that We're pending in the war
department. relating mainly to the ad-
miniStration OF the islands acquired
from Spain and the establishment of 4
government in Cuba have been accom-
plishcd during Secretary Roots admin
istration. The reorganization of the
army under the general staff plan is
| now under way and the secretary feels
| that he has accomplished the work that
| h. was called on to do when he became
| secretary of war.

warning against brother, they went
into the ranks of the union. Well
may the old academy feel proud of it's
100 years, of what it has seen and
known, and of the part its sons and
daughters have played in all.
It was in the year 1900, 20 years be-
fore our own State was Incorporated,
that the good people of Monmouth got
together and decided that something
definite must be done for the educa-
ton of the sturdy young men and wo-
men who We're growing up in the town.
And one year later, January 5, 1861,
they submitted a long petition to the
general court of Massachusetts, pray
ing for a grant of land for the support
of free grammar school in the town
of Monmouth. The Massachusetts
fathers knew the value of education
to be only less than that of religion,
and they made grant of 10000 acres
