"MY PUBLIC CAREER
DRAWS TO A CLOSE"
Senator Reiterates Argument
That Currency Bill Opens
Way to Initiation.
IIrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. 1e.-In a speech
through which ran a strain OF valedictory'
foreshadowing his retirement from public
life. Senator Root put an end to-day 10
the talk of his nomination for the Presi-
dency OF the United States by declaring
that he would be too old for the task.

its place In the horizon for my future,
he said. II look with sympathy and in
terest upon the younger and more Nigor-
GUS men who surround me. who rghtfully
cherish ambitions for place and useful
ness OF service for our country, but have
no part in them
The immediate occasion for the state
ment by the Senator from New York was
the intimation made by Senator Reed and
others or the Democratic side that he was
actuated by selfish motives in his denun-
citation OF the administration currency Dill
as an inflationary measure. The charge
was made that the statement issued by
Senator GallinGer. that the Republican
party would lose an opportunity II II did
not nominate Senator Root, was prepared
before Mr.. Roots speech on the currency
bill and was not maze AS lcsuI' VI IT,

ATTORNEY ATTACKS
NEW BILLBOARD LAW
Measure Proposed Makes Stringent
Regulation on Erection of Adver-
tising Signs; Tax Imposed.

Objections against the city billboard
ordinance were laid before the city
commission yesterday by Attorney
Richard W, Young, representing the
billboard interests. 1t is probable that
some changes will be made in the meas
ure by the commission, though no ac'
tion was taken yesterday.
The new ordinance forbids the plac.
ing of billboards closer than fifteen
feet back from the property line. Also
tax Of 81 for every five liueal feet
is imposed, and billboards, under the
ordinance, shall not exceed fifteen feet
in height.
Attorney Young argued that the or
dinance was discriminatory TO the bill
board interests, and is unwarranted as
compared to requirements in other
cities.
The provision prohibiting the plac
ing Of the sign boards within fifteen
feet of the property line was attacked
on the ground that a sign board SO
placed in the business district would
have no value, as the thanking build
ings would hide it from view.

TWO CAN THINK OCCASIONALLY


1t was a literary dinner. Things
had been going rather SLOW in the
conversation line, when someone
turned the talk to the various curious
methods of working employed by lit
erary geniuses.
Several tales had gone the round
and evoked feeble smiles, when an
elderly man seated at the top Of the
table, cited the case Of a weIl-known
writer who was wont to arouse his
spouse in the wee sma' hours and ex-
claim:
Jessie, get up; I've thought Of a
good word" WheFeupon Jessie
would obediently arise, crawl out of
bed, and make a note of the word.
A little later, as likely as not, a new
inspiration would seize him, and his
better-or working-half would
again be aroused from her slumbers
with:
Get up, wife; I've thought of
better word.
The company listened to this an
ecdote with rapt interest, when sud-
denly witty girl, who until then had
been bored to death by the evenings
proceedings, remarked:
''Well, if he'd been my husband,
know what I should have done;
should have replied: My dear, get
up yourself; I've thought of a bad
wOrdr"
