through with in the strenuous pace"
declared DR.. Thomas Morgan '"The
rumor that the president strained his
eyes in the Cuban campaign is all
bosh. l have attended the Roosevelts
long enough to know that their optic
weakness is hereditary. The presi-

piled. In a short while he may over
come all requirements for wearing
vision stretchers."

Accept the Portfolio of the State De
partment-He Will Give Up Entirely
His Law Practice.
Oyster Bay, July 7.-Oficial an
nouncement was made here today that
Elihu Root has been appointed secre
tary of state.
The announcement is made today by
authority of President Roosevelt or
the following statement given out by
Secretary Loeb:
''E]lihu Root has accepted the tender
by the president of the secretaryshir
of state. He will take the oath OF
office in a couple of weeks, but it will
necessarily be some little time before
he closes up his business affairs. He
will not go to Washington permanent
ly until some time in September"
President Roosevelt is much graft
fed at Mr. Roots acceptance and is
deeply sensible of the personal sacri
fees made by Mr.. Root in taking on
himself the burdens and duties of a.
member of the cabinet.
The decision of Mr.. Root was reach
ed finally on the presidents special
train during the return of the presiden
tial party from Cleveland. For per
sonal reasons entertained both by the
president and by Mr.. Root it was
deemed desirable not to announce the
decision publicly until the president
had returned to Sycamore Hill It
was determined, therefore, that the
official statement of the presidents
tender and Mr.. Roots decision to ac
cept ii would be made today.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Root to
assume the duties OF secretary Of state
practically at once, although it would
be perhaps two weeks before he for
mally will take the oath of office. His
professional interests are so large that
he will have to devote considerable
time to a satisfactory arrangement
of them before he goes to Washington
to take permanent charge of the state
department.
When he takes active charge of the
department he will give up entirely his
law practice.
