A cablegram was received here during

to refer the request to a committee, of

SEC'Y ROOT WILL co BACK
TO LARGE PRACTICE
Continued from page H.


The retiring Secretary of War still
looks young man. He would hardly
be taken for more than fifty years of
age. AS a matter of fact he will be
fifty-nine February Is next. But he
should be able in the next few years to
put aside enough to keep the gray wolf
from his door for the remainder of life
and also to provide for the wants of his
wife and children. He already has
money. Undoubtedly he will be able to
save 100000 a year from this time on
long as he cares to pursue actively
the profession of law.
Presumably Mr.. Root is going out of
public life forever, but that is by no
means certain. Party engencies may
call him back again, although it would
undoubtedly be for something greater
than a cabinet office. He was promi-
nently mentioned for the vice-presi-
dency in 1900 and is said to have been
the late President McKinley's prefer
ence for a running mate. The country
recognizes in Mr.. Root a man big
enough to adorn the Presidential office.
Just now there seems to be no prospect
of Mr.. Root ever being called. But in
1908 he will be but g. if living and the
age limit would not be against him. OF
course President Roosevelt's election
next year, apparently assured, would
give New York eight years in the White
House. The politicians would be averse
to giving the State another candidate
Immediately. But Mr.. Root will by no
means be lost sight of.
INTEREST IN NEW YORK.
At present New York State is decid-
eddy the center of interest in the polit-
zeal agitation which is raging with un-
accustomed fervor in Washington.
The Democratic National Committee
has held its meeting and decided the
date and city for it's convention. The
assembled politicians constantly sought
a sign from the New Workers, who were
present in numbers, but the New York
ers gave no sign. Boss Murphy of Tam
many mingled a little in the hotel lob
bies and attended a politicians dinner
or two, but he was always secretive
beyond stating what has already long
been known that he was for Cleveland.
Ex-senator p H. McCarren, the new
boss of Brooklyn and the ally of Tam
many Hall, was outspoken for Judge
Parker. That increased the belief that
New York State would eventually agree
upon the Judge for the standard bearer.
Nevertheless the German supporters
have been putting in some hard ticks
for their candidate and from the Wash
ington standpoint the Parker boom has
receded little since the Democratic
Committee adjourned. Should Mr.. Cor
man capture New York, the South
would promptly fall in line for him and
that would be very near assuring his
nomination. But the Bryan opposition

attitude, when he was in town at the
close of the Democratic meeting. for he,
seemed to indicate. strongly that he was
going to turn in next summer and do all
in his power to help towards the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidates.
ROOSEVELT'S PROSPECTS.
Friends of President Roosevelt are
well satisfied with his prospects. 1t
is true the opposition to him is max
ing considerable noise but it is the
wall of despair. AS Senator Foraker
of Ohio, said the other day, those men
are up against it," An opposition
man always makes as much noise as
three men standing for the administra-
ton. If one should listen to the talk
about the corridors of the Capitol and
in the hotels he would think that Dem
ocrats and opposition Republicans
were going to sweep the country at
the next election. But a few men
are making more commotion than all
the administration officials would make
in year. 1t is yet nine and a half
months to the next election and it is
the show of strength, not talk, that
counts.
But after all is said, one must re-
member that this is the quadrennial
noisy period. Every president for the
last half century has had to encounter
if~more or less, according to conditions
and circumstances. Representative
Burkett, of Nebraska. one of the rising
young men of the House. said today
that he was surprised there had not
been more of the noisy talk. The outs;
want to convince the country and get
in themselves. 1t is part of the great
American game of politics. The
President is holding his own and when
opposition politicians count the situa-
ton carefully, they are unable to see
for the life of them where the votes are
coming from to GUST him from four
more years in the White House.

PUBLIC BUILDING BILLS.

Delegate .Kalanianaole has also intro
duced several other bills during the past
week. Most of these are the same bills
that Mr. Mitchell introduced in the SEN
ate some weeks ago One of them pro-
vides for the purchase of a site and the
erection of public building at Hilo at
a cost not to exceed $4,000. Another
bill provides for the purchase of a site
and the erection of public building at
Honolulu at cost not to exceed $I,ooo,7
ooo. There is provision IN the bill for
the erection of the building ON any pub
lie ground in the city of Honolulu, but
in the event of no such public grounds
beng available, then proposals for the
sale of land for said site shall be in
vited."
The outlook just at present for pub
lie building legislation at this session of
Congress is very poor. 1t is certain that
no public buildings for Hawaii will be
authorized till there is more general leg
islation for public buildings on the main
land and at present the disposition of
Speaker Cannon is against allowing any
such legislation at this session. The adj
minlstration is 'practicing economy and
then the Supervising Architects Office of
the Treasury Department is several
months behind with the public building
projects already authorized, as is evident
by the months of delay in getting around
to the immigration station at Honolulu.
Therefore it is quite improbable that Ha-
wall will get any more public buildings
for over year. At the next session of
Congress some appropriations for public
buildings will undoubtedly be voted.

est to Hawaiian people to know that ex-
