that he would not for the world go

cry saloon and gambling house in the
city was closed up by order of the
mayor, who instructed the police to
see that the places remained closed
under penalty of criminal prosecu-
tion. The order applies to hotels also,
and the thirst of the legislators will
be something terrible to contemplate.
Last night thirty leading business
men got together and talked the mat
ter over and decided the saloons and
gamblers must go. They sent for the
mayor and made known their wishes,
stating they would stand by him to a
finish. The sheriff also agreed to help
clean up.
The chief of police was sent for and
Instructed by the mayor at the time
to close the pigs. and card games at
once and then keep them closed, and
the chief and the sheriff at once noti-
fed the gang to close. There is gem
eral satisfaction expressed all around

Washington. Jan. Secretary Root
Of the state department Is not only an
able lawyer and statesman, but he is
man Of method.
Soon after he entered the state de-
partment he inaugurated new card
index system. He sent first one man
and then another over to the war de-
partment from the state department
TO go through course of instructions
He got General Ainsworth, the mlli-
tary secretary. to teach the business
until the right man was settled apon.
and then he got some Of the best men
in the war department to go over to the
state department. placing them in va
cancies which existed, and in that way
started the state department on the
war department System in the preser-
walton, indexing and card cataloguing
and cross-referencing of documents
Now he wants congress to provide the
clerks to carry on that work
We are dealing today with matters. :"
said Secretary Root, "that have been
going on during the entire history of
the government Expressions that
were used by former secretaries of
state are being pulled on us by foreign
countries now.
Take for instance, the Newfound-
land fisheries question. We are i'm
volved now in dealing with questions
which have been discussed in various
phases and in a multitude of forms
since away back to the time of the
treaty ofN17Ss, then 1918, then 1854,
then 1871, then the discussion of the
Hay Bond treaty and the Halifax
award. There is hardly year to be
found for the 120 years back In which
there has not been something on that
subject. Now / have got to be able
to get hold of it; otherwise / might
make a most humiliating mistake in
answering arguments by the British
foreign Office if | overlooked something
that has been done and said in the
state department during the last cen-
tury.
Take the fur seal fisheries. 1t has
been the subject of enormous cores
