have State roads. They are macadamized
and well made. so travelling is a pleasure
and saves horses, bicycles and automo-
blcs.
They do it by taxing bicycles S. cents

Root a Future Possibility.

The numerous admirers of eX-Secretary
Elihu Root In New York are to give a
dinner in his honor this evening
in the Union League club and the an
nouncement Is serving to bring out inter
esting talk in connection with his name.
For example. 1t is stated that Mr.. Root is
to be a delegate to the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt is credited with the desire
that he either make the nominating speech
for him in the convention or become either
temporary or permanent chairman of the
convention.
1t manifestly requires only the ac-
quiescence of Mr.. Root himself to assure
him a conspicuous place politically in the
public eye. 1t will be recalled that Scna-
tor Plat and other leading republicans
of the Empire State said some time since
the eX-secretary would make an excel
lent candidate for the govcrnorship, and
now there are rumors afoat to the effect
that President Roosevelt would like to
see his late secretary of war nominated
by the New York republicans next fall
on the ground that he would make a
strong candidate and help to assure the
State a place in the presidential column
Be this as it may. it requires no argu-
ment to show that if Mr.. Root were to
be nominated and elected to the COVER
norship of New York, nothing could pre-
vent him from becoming the next candi-
date of his party for the presidency ex-
cept some egregious political blurder such
as he is not accustomed to make. Other
leaders in the Empire State will do well
to keep an eye on Root.

The extent to which the name of Sher-
man figured in connection with recent
national affairs is recalled by the an
nouncemcnt that the last of the famous
Sherman brothers has just died at Des
Moines, la. Major Hoyt Sherman. the
deceased, was a brother of the Hon. John
Sherman, long time United States senator
from Ohio and secretary of the United
States treasury, Gen. William Tccumseh
Sherman, United States Judge Charles T.
Sherman of Ohio and of James and Lamp
son p. Sherman, early settlers in Dcs
Moines. The disappearance of names OF
this character is one of the pathetic
features Of American public life.

give the name of the trust, which he
charged in his speech in New York with
contributing $4,000 to the Cleveland cam
paign fund in 1892. whenever IT becomes
necessary. 1t is impossible to say whom
the democrats will nominate for the

possibles already includes the names Of
Grover Cleveland and William Jennings
