CANAL PRAISES ELIHU ROOT
Editor of Costa Rican Paper Speaks
for Latin America.
Declares secretary's Visit Produced
dents Attitude Toward south.

Under the title Of Pending Questions, %
c. J. Canal, Harvard graduate and sdi-
tor Of the paper Ia RepubIica, and a resi-
dent Of San Jose, Costa Rlca. is circu-
lating a political folder in Latin America
the following extracts from which may
be taken as criterion of the general
view and esteem Of America and Ameri-
cans.
".dr. Root tried 90 pour OIL ON the
wives and water on the FIRE. He did it
not because he was afraid-no-he took
pains in the matter because he had really
become a good friend Of ours
When he left New York he was rather
prepossessed by strange ideas and preju-
dices against the people whom he was
going to visit. When he got close TO our
shores all that northern mist had been
dissipated by the rays Of the tropical
sun. In close relationship with US he felt
a touch Of sympathy
He looked az US with q great deal OF
interest. and we were all in love with
him. Il was almost an idyL there is no
question about that
1t has become apparent 20 the close
observer-and appearances IN this case
have all the probability OF truth-that
when Mr.. Root went home he had ex-
pcrienced a radical change In his ideas
in regard 20 South America and South
Americans He has expressed his views
on several occasions. and his sentences
were particularly significant and en-
phatic al the Trans Mississippi Congress.
When he discussed the Monroe doctrine
before that assembly. he said that it sim
ply meant that the European powers had
no business TO establish colonies of their
own in this continent OF ours. This doc
trine is all right so EAR, and We only re-
greet that il IS not complete The Monroe
doctrine is not bad thing after all. but
II is too short of words, that IS the
trouble
The good results Of Mr. Roots visit
have been SO far-reaching that they have
worked a visible change in the DISPOSE
ton Of the President himself. We had
always seen in Mr.. Roosevelt relentless
enemy Of ours. with whom we should
have to contend in a most desperate way
To-day. If We are not mistaken or de-
luded we see In him. to our greatest sur
prise the possibility of a friend. Would
to God that when Mr.. Roosevelt retires

In regard TO the Presidents Panama
trip. the folder SAYS.
The Washington Herald brings about
a suggestive cut, which proves that when
Mr.. Roosevelt went on board he carried
no sticks Of my kind, either big or small

Roosevelt has been improved and re-
formed 10 a considerable extent. There

of making material progress. and that
Spain could no longer remain inactive

In speaking Of the Philippines, Senior

deep regret over the loss Of those Islands

cent amount of 10 cents and il consisted
of nickel and five pennies.
He picked out "a pretty saucer that he
thought would be about the right thing

down into his trousers pocket To get out
his money he found there but cents In
some way he had lost 10 per cent Of his
cash on hand.
He hesitated, and then put cents
ruefully back into his pocket.
That's all right, said the storckoepcr

that If you once get into debt IL is hard

mo amount OF argument on the part
of all of US would induce the boy TO take
the saucer and bring the one cent some
other time. or let US pay il. He mounted
his pony and started back home three
miles to get the other cent.
AT the Westinghouse he found the
missing copper where II had dropped from
his pocket. and in a few minutes he was
back to pay over the full amount and get
the saucer.

evidence in hand that Cardozo had writ

THE first count depends upon the
second. You must consider whether the
publication Of this letter hurt the board

that the letter was not written by Car

further with this charge. r. the proof is

that it was not libel if true. Mr. Nc

therefor. In respect to the third charge,

evidence that could have been offered
