And then this ancestor Of the present
Marquis of Salisbury goes on to show
that the duties of Secretary Of State
practically included then, as they do to-
day. all those which are not otherwise
definitely assigned by patent, oath or
commission.
In course of time the work became too
oner0us for one Secretary Of State, and
two were appointed, the one being known
as Secretary of the North and the other
as the Secretary OF the South. The
former had charge Of foreign affairs,
whereas the Secretary Of the South was
intrusted more particularly with the af-
fairs of the United Kingdom. Ireland,
the colonies. and even the southeast of
Europe This arrangement continued
until near the close OF the eighteenth
century when the responsibilities of the
Foreign Department were more strictly
defined and d third secretaryship Of

nobody can hear him, for simultaneous

At the same time there burst out
the thousands Of incandescent lights
which outline the beautiful cathedral
towers and the buildings around the
plaza with their graceful arcades. A
very shower of fireworks goes up from
a dozen points, while from ,faroff comes
the booming of the cannon in the Gu

roar continues unabated; then, still
shouting "Viva la republica! Viva ell
presidente" the crowds dispense, ready
for the further celebrations on the
morrow.
In order that this centennial ami
versary may be made the more impress
sive and lasting in it's effects, the novel
plan has been adopted of making this
year the occasion for inaugurating
many civic improvements in various
cities and towns of the country and of
dedicating numerous public buildings
which are now in course of construc-
ton. The c~entennial's official medal is
a fine piece Of work cast in silver
and copper. One cast of the medal is
of gold. which will be presented to
President Diaz on his birthday, On

Of the New York assembly was the
chap they had in view for that Job.
Wadsworth had the votes. but for
some reason concluded not to stand
for the place, and as a result Sherman
was decided on at the eleventh hour.
Roosevelt's friends are still seething
over the trick they claim was en-
ployed to beat him. First they say
that Taft's attitude was misrepresent-
ed. Then they ave that the com.
mitteeman from Roosevelt's own dis
trict was told that nothing important
would occur at the meeting and so
gave his proxy to Secretary Gleason,
who voted against the colonel. They
also assert that the three committee
men from the extreme western end
OF the state were kept away by the
same Misrepresentation and that they
are Roosevelt men. Had all these
been present the vote would have
stood 10 to 10. The colonel himself
avoids this crying W spilled milk
attitude and only laughs about 1t all.
Is 1t not just possible that he meant
what he said when he expressed his
relief at the occurrence? For my own
part, l believe the Roosevelt luck was
never more in evidence than in this
very rundown. There Is scarcely
anything could have happened that
would have SO helped him with the
country at large.
Since the minority report of the com.
mittee on cost Of living has come out
the whole thing looks like a partisan
affair on both sides. The Republican
members find that high prices have
many causes. but that the tariff is not
among them. The Democratic men,
