Root TO the Rescue.

Secretary Roots redhot speech IN Utica

Republican nomination for the legisla-

The nomination was made in convention.
Mir Root placed the name Of Theodore

Elihu Root who appeared before the
state convention which nominated Mr..
Roosevelt Tor governor nen the opposi-

the charge that he was a tax dodger Mir.
| Root made. on that occasion. one OF the
most powerful legal arguments Of his
I life. Between these two crises there
have been numerous others Of less i'm
portance in the Presidents great career
which have been attended 20 by Mr. Root
in a masterful manner Their relations
for twenty-five years have been closer
and more trustful than can be asserted
of the relations between any other two
Americans OF prominence. Had II not

Roosevelt in the severest crisis Of his
career. Mr.. Root would not have re-
entered public life after having retired

The Modern Congressman.

From The Kansas City Journal.
The best Congressman in these busy
times OF practical things is the type of
man who works hard for the interests of
his constituents and has the force OF
character to get himself appointed on
committees where he can serve their in
terests best. Oratory is still a fine accom-
plishment, but It does not accomplish
much. What is needed in Congress is a
hard worker. not q howery taIker.
