Blaine failed it will be to his lasting
credit. The people have much more
confidence in Root than in Blaine.
The latter was more brilliant, per-
haps, and certainly secured an admir-
alton that has never been Roots por-
ton, but he was not as deep. not as
far.seeing, and he was not as sincere.
He had n good purpose IN view, but
he did not bring TO his tasks the care.

which was acquired by Secretary
Root before he undertook his mission
Blaine would not have made the sac
America which Root has made. Root
probably does not look upon it as a
sacrifice, although it took time out
of n very busy life. but he regarded
1t as necessary to carry out the pur-
pose which he had in view.
Secretary Root will not abandon
the work until 1t has been demon
strated that South America will not
interest the American people. He
will use every effort to convince the
people of the country that our atten-
tion should be turned toward the
South. He will leave nothing undone
In THAT direction. One reason why
he has had Hon. John Barrett select
ed as head of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Republics is because he knows
that Barrett is good advertiser.
Barrett will talk about South America
and his own work, and will talk in

Secretary can do. with the construc-
ton of the Panama Canal going on,
with the desire TO build UP strong re
tons with our neighbors on the same

1t was n bold undertaking for Root.
