Two Remarkable Men.

Two of the most remarkable men who
have been in public life within the pres
ent generation are Elihu Root, who has
just retired as secretary of war. and his
successor, William II. Taft of Ohio, for
merly governor general of the Philippines
President Roosevelt was quoted a short
time ago as saying: "Elihu Root is the
ablest man have ever known in our gov
ernment service. l will go further, he is
tho greatest man that has appeared in
any country in any position. on either
side of the ocean, in my time" In the
four and half years that he was in the
cabinet the army was reorganized and a
new militia law was carried into effect
Tho rebellion in the Philippines has been
ended and civil governments have been
established in the Philippines and Porto
Rico He performed a great service to
the country at large personal loss. Mr..
Taft, also, is one of the highest type of
public servants, and what he accomplished
In the Philippines is generally known. 1t
was Secretary Root who was requested by
President Mckinley to secure, If possible
Mr.. Tafts consent to go to the Philip
pines, and this is the conversation which
took place between the two men:
Judge, we need you in the Philippines.
You are now occupying an honorable life
position on the federal bench, with the
prospect in the near future of reaching a
seat on the Supreme Court bench, the goal
of every lawyers ambition who puts rep
utation above dollars You have money
enough to live comfortably. You can re-
main on the Supreme bench for life. on
the other hand, we need you in the Phil
ippines. You may be Frustrated and
wrecked physically by the diseases Incl
dent to the climate; you may die at your
post. You may have the opportunity of
being the saviour of the little brown men,
advancing them centuries in civilization,
and still be damned by the public for
your work, You will have to resign your
Circuit Judgeship; the chance of going
upon the Supreme bench may never come
again to you. Which will you accept?"
Il go to the Philippines" was the reply.

Boston has had subway in use some
time. New York is nearly ready for its
system Of rapid underground transit, but
Chicago proposes to lead both in this
direction. and is planning for l20 miles
of subway, with the ultimate object, of
doing away with most of the surface
trucking There are now about 20 miles of
tunnels honeycombing certain sections OF
the city and 100 miles more will be built
Electric motors will he used, and trains
will run 20 miles an hour The tunnels
will be made terminal transfers and the
underground road will deliver freight at
depot tunnels and trains will carry this
freight to business houses. Coal and
goods of every description will thus be
handled from the railroad yards to places
where they are consumed. So far about
sS,OOOO00 has been spent. The plans con-
template the delivery of 80. 900 tons of
freight a day ON or about Jan. |. 1905.

Members OF the diplomatic corps in
Washington believe there will he war be-
tween Russia and Japan. Russia has Of
fered to Japan certain concessions. Ja-
pan demands that these concessions snail
be embodied in the form of treaty stipula-
tions. II Russia yields to Japan she will
humiiate herself before the world, con-
Tossing that she is not in a position to

have money enough in sight to pay the ex-
