Senator Root at 20 Years.

Senator Root is 10 years old today.
I asked him how he felt to be 20. He
sat back with a broad smile and said
that he fel, that he couldn't be criti-
cised for not living TO the age OF man.
Further, he said he was now at the
age when he could personally dght Of
decline TO fight If such a contest
should ever be put up to him. I con-
graduated him on his birthday. He
is a very strong man and / regret thar
he closes his service in the Senate
March 4th"-Extract from letter
from Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh Of Feb.
IS, 1915.
We wonder If every member Of the
United States Senate would not say
as Senator BurIeigh did: He is a
strong man and I regret that he closes
his service in the Senate March 4th.'
Regardless Of politics Senator Root
has long been recognized as one Of the
country's greatest statesmen. His
services have been pre-eminent in the
ration. All his life he has been a good
fighter and fair. Muldoon declared
Eiihu Root the ''cleverest boxer !
have ever been up against" In
political set-tos Dernocracys fastest
and shiftiest fighters have admitted
the same. An exchange says Of him:
Roots father. professor Of
mathematics at Hamilton College and
effectionately known as Cube Root,
wanted his son to follow the same
calling. so marked were his attain
ments. But Root, applying his talents
10 the practice Of his profession, be-
came one OF the greatest lawyers
OF his time. with a professional in
come estimated at $500, 600 year. He
has figured in scores Of great cases,
but to Uncle Sam. as client, he has
rendered. without material considera-
ton. his most distinguished services.
But upon the Senator's accomplish
naent OF living TO the age Of man he
fears 10 criticism. not even from Or.
Osler He has reached an age when
he can fight or decline to fight. he
says. We can hardly picture him as
declining. If the cause were wortl
while. From our understanding Of his
characteristics as indicated In his life
and works, he will not reach the de-
clining age for another 20 years.

wAsTERLAlN CONCERT WAS
 VERY SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR

DOUGLAS. June IS Those who at. tended the concert at the Alaska Catholic club last night had treat that was unexpected Most of those who wont were prepared 10 hear little girl play the violin and piano. but were totally uuprepared for the artistic and finished work that was rendered. The playing of Little Miss Wasterlaiu on the violin is nothing short Of wonderful when her age, 10 years. is considered Her rendition of Daucla's Air Varie was especially artistic and deserving of credit.
 Sho has been pupil of Vaughn Ar thur of Seattle for the past three years and will probably study in Eu- rope after the war Is over. 1t is claimed that no child musician like her has been heard on the coast since the days of Paloma and Karla Schram.
 Although not born in Alaska. we can claim her as our own. as her parents have made their home in Douglas almost continuously since Miss Wasterlain was one year old.
 It is probable that series of con certs will be given in Southeastern Alaska this summer by Miss Vast erlain. The first one will probably be given in Juneau.
 Other numbers on the program last night that were well received were cornet solo by Ed Schanda, reeita- ton by Frank Landsbcrg, trombone solo by Fred Wasterlain. and vocal solo by M. A. Snow.
