Elihu Root.

Mr.. Root il an unusual man having an
unusual experience. His DESIRE several
timessexpressed. 10 to retire from active
politics. He gives his age as the princi-
pal reason But AZ he 10 only in his

Root would prove a weak candidate be-
fore the people He has never sought Of
flee at the polls. His honors have come
in another way. Early in his career he
was federal district attorney by appoint
ment His two cabinet places came to
him of course in the same way. His
election to the Senate was by the state
legislature. So that in the campaign ap-
preaching he would be an untried man.
His opponents assert that both his
temperament and his record would mill
tate against him in an appeal to the peo-
pie. They regard him as too intellec-
tual for the stump. and as having been
while in private life too long an adviser
of Big Business to catch the rank and
file of voters at this time when Big
Business is under charges and stricter
regulation is on the cards.
But Mr.. Roots friends take the other
view. According to their opinion, New
York is not to be won this year by
cart-tail oratory: and a man who under
stands business and can discuss the sub
ject with full intelligence will find ap-
preciative listeners wherever he goes. In
the state pre-eminently of business big
and little. there is none of the prejudice
against business which long agitation
has produced elsewhere.
Should Mr.. Root be nominated by the
republicans. the democrats would find
their difficulties increased. They could
not hope to match him, but it would be
necessary for them to sort out their SEN
atorial material with great care. Any
old nomination would not do Their best
man would be required. and their most
capable men have all had part on one
side or the other in the factionaI turmoil
with which the party has been AFFLICTED
for several years.

The Trust Debate,

The trust bills should be and will be
thoroughly discussed. The Senate was
never under heavier obligations to the
country than with regard to those meas
ures. They touch business in the most
intimate way. and business Is in an ex-
ceedingly nervous condition. Faulty trust
legislation at this time might produce
grave and far-reaching disaster.
The President would be satisfied with
the bills that passed the House. So would
he have been with the tariff bill as it
passed the House, and with the House
currency bill.
But both those measures were held up
by the Senate, and greatly improved.
Nobody disputes that fact now. For
tunately for the country and for the
democratic party. the Senate resisted
White House pressure in both cases, and
gave expression of its own to the bust
ness In hand And the House acquiesced.
although while the Senate was proceed
ing there was gossip that the House
would not yield, having the President be-
hind it.
1t is true, of course, as urged by the
Presidents supporters in this controversy,
that the Baltimore platform promised ad-
ditional trust regulation along with tariff
and currency revision. 1t is likewise true
that the democracy, upon assuming full
power, took up the questions in the proper
order-the tariff first, the currency next,
and then the trusts.
But the platform did not prescribe the
speed with which the work was to be
done. Necessarily, that was left to the
party leaders as Informed by experience.
The fact was recognized that as all the
reforms could not be inaugurated in a
day, tine would be an element in the
preparation of reform measures.
The original law for the regulation Of
trusts was the work of the ablest lawyers
then in the Senate. Called the Sherman
law, it really owed its best features to
Mr.. Edmunds of Vermont and Mr.. Hoar
of Massachusetts. who gave a good deal
Of time to an examination of the whole
subject. then new.
That was in 1880. But for years the law
was practically dead letter. The trusts
multiplied, and went their way SO con-
fidently that they seemed convinced. not
only that they had not been. but that
they could not be, ''shackled.''
At last. however. an Attorney General
Philander c. knox-who in private prac-
tice had had much to do with corp ora
tions, showed that the law had teeth ;
and since then every Attorney General
has applied it. more than one with
marked success. .....
The Presidents position is that not only
is additional regulation necessary. but
necessary now. He wants 1t enacted into
law at this session Of Congress. But If
Congress yields the point 1t could do SO
only after such discussion as comprehends
the original law and its purposes. the
work accomplished with it. and what re-
mains to be done to stamp out offensive
monopoly. .-. 5-...

So safe and sane we've made the day
That no one dares to knock it.
Well organize a picnic crowd
Well have a fine attendance
And father will recite aloud
About our Independence.
Some pickles and some eggs well take
And pie-well have to risk it.
Well have Ice cream. sardines and cake
And special homemade biscuit
We are bold ana hardy race,

The only perils we can face
Are those Of Indigestion

A BOXER WITH BRAINS
b YHUGH s. FULLERTON

Fred Gilmore, fighter, fight
manager, son of Harry Fillmore,
the veteran trainer and manager
of fighters, is coming back
Young Gilmore's experiment with
himself is one of the most in
teresting developments in ring
history of years. Let it not be a
surprise if Fred Gilmore is well
terweight champion of the world
inside of the next year.
IL Gilmore succeeds in his ex-
pertinent and attains the cham
pionship to which he aspires, ii
will be another triumph of brains,
and 1t will not surprise me to
have him go straight to the front
and hold the title.
Fred Gilmore was trained as a
boxer from babyhood. He threat
ened to go into the front ranks of
the feathers before he was Is
years old. He fought a dozen or
more battles, then decided to re-
tire from the ring and devote his
time to managing other fighters.
Now he has decided to come back,
and, after hard preliminary train
ing, is at work In the gymnasium
getting ready to meet the best of
his class at t41 pounds, ringside,
or four hours before
