INVITATION TO MR. ROOT.
TO Represent Department of State
Regarded as Significant.
FFno,, THE TRIBUNE BUREAU. /

Washington. July 3-The Presidents invita-
tion to ex-Secretary OF War Elihu Root to repre-
sent the Department of State at Secretary Hays
funeral is regarded by many persons in Wash
ington as strongly significant of an intention on
the part OF the President TO invite Mr.. Root TO
accept the portfolio of State. That the Pres-
dent would be happy to have the former Secre-
tary Of War in his Cabinet more is un-
doubtedly true. but If Mr.. Root were TO accept
the invitation it would prove a surprise to those
to whom he confided his reasons FOR wishing to
retire from the Cabinet. little more than a
year ago.
Mr.. Root at that time expressed a grave dis
taste for public life. and often even before it
was possible for him to reIirquish the portfolio
OF War gave voice 10 a longing Tor the freedom
and retirement OF private life. Long before the
last American soldier had left Cuban soil. Mr..
Root had promised himself and assured his
friends that soon as Cuba was wholly and
entirely free he would 10 private life. and
as soon as that end accomplished he carried
his purpose into effect 1t is appreciated that in
many respects the portfolio Of State must pre-
sent unusual attractions to man of Mr. Roots
exceptional ability. and it is of possible
that he will consent once more to enter the
Cabinet, and especially if the President urges
him TO do so, but that 1t would surprise some of
his most intimate friends were he to do so Is
certain.
Other men discussed as likely to be chosen for
secretary of State are Senator SpoOner and
Secretary Taft That Secretary Taft would
make most admirable selection is generally
conceded. but it is equally true that the Presi-
dent feels keenly the need of Mr.. Tafts services
IN the field 10 which he is devoting himself.
There is no one in the administration who is so
well posted on the needs of the Philippines as
Secretary Taft, and the same is equally true
with regard to the necessities of the Panama
Canal II is also a fact that Secretary Taft has
he to Faf N nrGS
position until he at least secure from Con-
gresS some of the legislation which he regards
as essential 10 the welfare of the little brown
man.. When some time ago there some
discussion Of the possibility Of Secretary Taft's
succeeding Mr.. Moody the latter's retirement
from the Department Of Justice, II was asserted
authOrttattvely that nothing would induce the
Secretary of War TO make the change until he
had secured certain legislative benefits for the
