TRIBUTE TO SECRETARY ROOT
Mr.. JOHN BARRETT SAYS HE IS
GREATEST STATESMAN.
Address Before Society Of the Oregon
COMPATIBILITY influence
in Washington.

Ellhu Root, Secretary OF State was pro-
claimed the greatest living statesman OF
this country and the abiest Secretary OF
States this country has ever had by John
Barrett. director OF the bureau of Ameri-
can republics. last night. before the So
ciety or the Oregon Country, at its club
house. III G street northwest He made a
comparison between Mr.. Root and former
Secretary John Hay, saying that Hay was
a great and lovable man and master Of
affairs. but he was not Roots equal in
brilliancy or in supreme diplomacy.
In declaring Mr.. Root to be the great
est statesman OF our time said Mr.. Bar
rett, Il do SO with all due respect to
President Roosevelt. but 1 have had a
good opportunity to see what Mr.. Root has
done and what he Is capable OF doing. He
accomplished more for the United States
upon the occasion of his visit to the South
American republics last fall than all the
diplomatic correspondence that could be
brought to bear In the past 100 years. At
the various cities in which Mr. Root spoke
he was warmly received, and he COM
pletely changed the attitude OF every one
of these twenty-one countries. l regret to
say that they did not cherish the best
feeling toward the United States and they
Cuba. but now they look upon US differ
emily and they have every confidence in
the United States"
Mr.. Barrett is an Oregonian and aside
from being invited to address the meeting
of the society he was unanimously elected
to both honorary and active membership
OF the society. The subject assigned to
him was The Influence Of the Pacific
Coast in the Eastern States" but he touch
ed lightly upon this subject, and talked
chiefly upon South America and its enor-
nous possibilities and Secretary Roots
Latin American trip.
Influx of the Wealthy
In speaking Of the east, Mr.. Barrett de-
clared that Washington is suffering by an
influx of the wealthy. who lack public
spirit and who come here to drop state
ties and make this city a social center
In speaking on this subject, he said
Washington is In no greater danger today
than from the influence OF an increasing
number of people who come here with
great wealth and social aspirations. This
is the grave peril that confronts the city's
welfare and progress. The idea OF wealth
and society threatens to dominate the ma
tional capital. This does not mean dis
credit to this city, but simply demonstrates
the necessity Of organizing and making an
effort to better the city along physical,
educational. artistic and commercial lines
Mr.. Barrett suggested as a remedy that
the states build up great and powerful
organizations that will make themselves
felt.
