"Now, l wished to secure as John
Hays successor, the man whom | re-
garded as of all the men in the country
that one best fitted to be such success
Sor. In asking him to accept the position
of secretary of state, l was asking him
TO submit to very great pecuniary
sacrifice, and l never even thought of
that as part of the question, for knew
ne would not either. | knew that what
ever other considerations he had to
weigh for and against taking the posi-
ton, the consideration of how it would
affect his personal fortune would not
be taken into account by Elihu Root
and he has accepted.
81 am not thinking of Hay and Root
as solitary exceptions. On the contrary
| am speaking of them as typical OF u
large class of men in public life.
Even when We hear SO much criti-
ciSin Of certain aspects of our public
lift and of certain of our public ser
wants, criticism which I regret to state
is in many cases deserved, il is well for
us to remember also the other side of
the picture. to remember that here i'll
America we now have and always have
had at the command of the nation in
any crisis, in any emergency the very
best ability to be found within the nd
ton. and that ability has been given
with the utmost freedom, given lavish
IL and generously. although at great
pecuniary loss to the man giving il.
'"There is not in my cabinet man to
whom it is not a financial disadvantage
to stay in the cabinet. There is no i'll
MY cabinet one man who does not have
to give up something substantial often
very much that is a very real hardship
to give up. in order that he may con-
tmue III the service of the public and
the only reward for which he looks or
for which he cares is the consciousness
OF having done service that was worth
rendering.
Il hope more and more throughout
this nation to see the spirit grow which
makes sucn service possible hope
more and more to see the sentiment of
the country as Il whole become such
that each man shall feel borne in Oh

greatest public services can be best

is the greatest chance that can come to
any man or any woman in our genera

that if such work can be well done it
is in itself the amplcst reward and the

President Roosevelt's references to

Inc most distinguished men E
Of the United States have no
hesitation in lending their influence to
assist in letting the public know Of the
merits of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore it
is almost a national curse, and it is of
national import that the people should
know of Peruna.
Catarrh is an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh is q result Of changeable
climate. Peruna is result of long and
careful experimentation.
Catarrb enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
centers to ropel and expd the catarrh
from the system.
Catarrh is systemic disease and
durable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must
aim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.
