New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-07-18

Of the constitutional delegates said, there
isn't more vigorous man in the convention
and none more mentally active.
An endeavor to have him discuss the po-
litical outlook met with a fiat refusal. 10
his mind the interest in things political, the
discussion Of political platforms, combinations
and candidates. at this hour is not unusual
it is the recurring movement previous 10 inc
meeting Of the parties that comes every -FOUR
years Perhaps there is little more lntehS-
ity lust now because of ,-e unusual world con-
ditions. but the process is the same, and the
forces that control and govern are still the
forces that control and govern in quieter and
less parlous times.
The work of the convention is the thing
that is on his mind now-not national politics.
There was no impotence, but there was chill
ing clarity when he spoke of the loose way
in which the terms radical" and "conserva-
tive" are used. They are in most instances
terms of method. The man who proposes
new way of doing a thing dubs those OPP
posed to him "cOnservativc,' and Is promptly
described as radical" by those he has put IN
the conservative class. One OF the important
proposals before the Constitutional Conven-
ton has for its object the reforming OF court
procedure and the essening of the laws de-
lays to the end that the poor ltigant does not
spend his life and his means in adjudication.
Such reform, in the opinion of Senator Root,
is radical, but that does not mean that the
constitution that will be submitted this fall
will be radical.
From the point of view of those who believe
in the referendum, the recall, etc. 1t will be
conservative constitution, and yet those who
are carefully watching the process of evolution
day by day point out that President Root has
placed at the head of the important committees
men of the type of Seth Low, Herbert Parsons
and Henry L. Stimson, all of whom are liberals
they don't use the word Progressive much IN
Albany these days.
Will the committee finish on time? 1t WILL
And then? The president of the convention
shrugged his shoulders, followed by one of the
surprises of this interesting talk, for he de-
scribed himself as "lazy man. content with
thinking about one job at time.
LAZY man"-pGr erempieP
When the convention is over ne will go to
his country place and on horse and with long
walks "freshen up" for he came to the Con-
stitutional Convention almost Immediately
after two gruelling sessions of Congress, and
many all-night debates when the Ship Pur-
chase Bill was before the Senate.
As an ex-Secretary of State, Mr.. Root has
refrained from making any comments on the
international situation. A man who has occu-
pied this position knows that frequently
there are facts which do not appear on the
surface or in the published statements and
because he does not feel that he is in pos
session of all the facts, and because he does
not wish to appear as crticising those who
are trying to do their duty he has refrained,
despite much urging, to comment on the recent
events that have stirred the country.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-07-18

when he was a younger man, and perhaps
less impressed with the inevitable sequence
of events without any regard for mans most
momentous preparations and awesome prog
nostications. imagine that he did little
prophesying. Some people have written that
he is ambitious, but there has never been
much evidence of his getting out into the
arena for his own personal benefit. To some
people he would seem a fatalst-the Law, to
the study and exposition of which his life has
been given, governs in its inevitable way as
much in the selection of candidates as it does
in other things.
The mention of his name for the Presi-
dency does not apparently interest Elihu Root
very much; certainly it does not and will not
stir him to any activity in his own behalf.
1t is not that ne is not appreciative of the
honor, his intimate friends say, but because
his is not the nature to enter into a scramble
for an office. His difiidence may also be ex-
planned on the ground that he feels that
Younger man could do better, although, as one

known Elihu Root-and I imagine there are
several Of them.
In the sixteen years of his official life Mr..
Root found that all that he felt called on to
say to the public he could say through the
medium of speeches and public documents
The fact that the interviewer has never been
called in to assist in the production or TO deco
rate these expressions is because Mr.. Root is
basicaly opposed to that very decoration.
One of the things that he admitted was not
quite fair was the occasional publication by
some magazine or newspaper of speech de
lvered some years before, as if it were pro-
duction of that week. While careless or su-
perfcal readers may sense no difference, a
man who chooses words as carefully as Elihu
Root knows that more sensitive minds feel
the disonture Of words selected at another
Hme. under other conditions and in differ
ent atmosphere, even though the topic be the
same and the ideas apparently relevant to
later issue.
To such a mind, it can be readily perceived,
political forecasting has no appeal Even

WHEAT, AFTER DECLINE,
RALLIES IN CHICAGO
Grain Company President Says All
Obtainable Can Be Used
at $1.65.

CHICAGO. March 4. Wheat prices
rallied today after a decline at the
start. Development of strength result
ed from the fact that the seaboard had
advanced bids on spot cash delivery
ar: from the absence of any sign that
rural offerings were likely to become
more free.
The president of one of the large
grain companies here was quoted as
saying all the wheat obtainable at
present could be disposed of as readily
at sl.65 as at S1.45.
The opening. which was u to IL
lower. was followed by a rise to well
above last nights level.
! Corn swayed with wheat. Trade was
light. After opening unchanged to n
ass off the market scored moderate
general advance.
| Active demand from the east gave in
dependent f1rmness to oats. Sellers
were scarce

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady on overnight
buying orders with first prices points
higher to points lower, but soon
weakened under increased southern
selling and scattering liquidation.
Liverpool was also considerable
seller here during the early trading.
presumably on straddle account, and
before the end Of the first hour active
months worked some to points I'M
der last nights closing figures. Wall
street houses and local bulls bought on
the decline.
Cotton futures opened steady: March.
8.54 May, $50; July, 8.94; October
9.18: December. 9.37.
Spot house brokers were very heavy
sellers later in the morning, and there
were rumors that cotton held by ex-
porters for certain continental &C
counts was being hedged in the con-
tract markets. while there were also
predictions of increased arrivals here
for delivery.
Commission houses were moderate
buyers on a scale down, but the market
was unsettled and active months sold
about IA to Is points net lower during
the early afternoon.

LONDON MARKET STEADY.
Closing Quotations Fraction Below
HIGHEST Advance,

LONDON, March Mooney was easy
today. Discount rates were steadier
on the bank return.
The stock market was quiet with a
good business in investment securities
owing to further dividend disburse-
ments. Several American gold bonds
were included in the markings. War
loan issues were a fraction easier, but
oil shares attracted considerable at
tention at hardening prices.
American securities opened steady in
sympathy with New York. There were
more dealings than recently. and the
market closed steady fraction below
the best.
The large depletion OF the reserve
of the Bank of England is attributed to
gold set aside for Egyptian, Argentine
and other accounts against purchases
made.
A million pounds was also earmarked
for the treasury note reserve. which
now stands at f27.50o.o0o ts137.500.-
