ROOT ideal MAN
thinks DEPEW
Former Senator Says He
Would Be Best Repubi-
can Candidate.
PREDICTS UNITED PARTY
Declares Country Is Tired Of Having
inexperienced Man in White
House.

IF the Republican party will vote the
way I want II to, II will nominate Emu
Root as its Presidential candidate. de-
cIared former Senator Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, Of New York. at the Willard last
evening.
1T is not a new thing to say that Mr..
Root Is the brainiest man and the most
astute statesman this country has turn
ed out in the past half century he
would make an ideal man for the White
House when the present war in Europe
ceases.
And I think the people Of this coun-
try have awakened to the fallacy OF the
idea Of putting a man in the White
House who has not had any polltical eA-
perience and of having him learn poll
tics while in office.
the convention in Chicago will go almost
equally divided between Mr.. Justice
Hughes and Mr. Root. Mr.. Roosevelt mas
a few delegates, but the majority Oh
them are divided between the other TWO.
These three New York men stand out
above all the favOrite sons in the con-
sideration of Presidential timber thoush
one must remember that Hayes and Gar
field we're two Of the dark horses OF tne
marty who were nominated after the dele
gates had reached practical deadlockt
over the recognized candidates.
Predicts Quiet Convention.
Il hardly look for evidences Of any
rancor or bitterness in this convention
such as was shown in the last one.
THAT condition has passed away ana
7 really believe the party will forget It's
differences and work unitedly behind any
candidate the convention chooses. the
country will elect its choice because the
people want a man in the White House
who has backbone and cleverness, rather
than pure scholastic training.
IF this convention will do as its old
est member desFes, it will name Mr-
Root for the head OF its ticket ne as
serted Il am not looking for any polit-
cal pIuns. have no axes to grind or
preiudices to satisfy; I favor the best
man in this country for the Presidency,
and I do sincerely hope the Grand OLD
Party will name him"

$4,000 MEN Will
TRAIN in CAMPS
Citizens Will Spend ,000,-
900 This Summer for Mill
tary knowledge.
HARVARD HOLDS LEAD
Cambridge Institution to Have Larger
University Representation-Local
Colleges Will Send Students.

Statistics revealing the scope Of pre-
paredness sentiment in the United States
and showing how many American men
are eager for military training in the So
called ''Plattsburg camps this summer
have just been complied.
1t Is estimated that more than $1,000
men will take the ''Plattsburg' training
during the summer at various camps
throughout the country.
Each man will be required to nav about
$50 for his expenses in camp. The $1,000
"citizen soldiers" in this way will spend
100000 in cleaning military knowledge
and practical experience.
Harvard Leads.
The percentage of university men who
are going to take the camp treatment
is astounding. OF 5000 already enlisted,
approximately 1000 are university men.
In the number OF men enlisted. Harvard
leads. with Yale, Princeton, Columbia,
Pennsylvania, Cornell and Williams fol-
folwing in the order named.
Harvard already has S46 enrolled, Yale
473 and Princeton 4O4. George Washing
ton University has %. the University Of
Virginia q and Georgetown IS.
The big camp, of course, Is Plattsburg
and for the five sessions which are to be
held, so far about 5000 men have regis.
tered. The number is increasing each
week. and the authorities believe that
before the season is over they will have
the 10000 for which they have planned.
The first session at Fort Oglethrope
has already begun, with about 800 men
at present in camp.
The first training camps were neld in
1913. the movement originating with col.
lege undergraduates. The idea took hold
of the country, and last year the camp al
Plattsburg for business and professional
men had an attendance OF about 1,sO[
men.
This year the movement has taken on 4
national scope, and 1t is expected that
Congress will recognize It in the shape OF
appropriations to help defray the ex-
penses OF the camps.

Reckoning the Dead

On the rugged coast of Washington by
the Copalis sands writes a friend of The
Companion) there is tower from which
Indians watch for sea otter. They are very
eager after that game, for the hide of one
of those creatures is worth all the way from
$500 to 81, 900. Two young Indians were
watching one day, when they saw sea
otter off in the surf. Two shots from their
rifles killed the otter and then they rushed
down to their surfboat. The sea was heavy,
and when they were out some distance from
the shore their boat broke in two over
comber, and the men were thrown into the
sea. One of the Indians drifted ashore on
piece of wreckage. The other, although
a splendid swimmer, was drowned. The
news spread to the reservation, and the
Indians from far and near came to the beach
and stood on the sands, silently reckoning
to the sea to give up its dead.
1t was solemn impressive sight-the
stalwart rugged, copper-colored men and
women standing at the verge of the sea
foam asking the sea by the motion of their
hands to send the body ashore. For three
days they waited and beckoned, and then
dark object was seen drifting into shallow
water. Sometimes it was buried COM
pletely from view by the heavy surf; then
it was seen again little nearer, and SO the
body of the dead Indian came ashore at the
call of his tribesmen.-Ex.

Forgive! Forget!

Forgive! Forget! the hour is passing by,
The fortune of the future waits thy
word;
After the storm is heard the singing
After the rain appears the happy sky:
Not long do Nature aspects hold regret:
Forgive! Forget!
Forget! Forgive! Remembering the past,
Far silent land in memory S moonlight
fair!
That shadow on its landscape like de-
spair
Is by regret for unforgiveness cast.
Only by Loves forgiveness can we live;
Forget! Forgive
Forget Forgive! 1t is the nobler part.
These are the only cures for heartache
ills;
These are the graces of the strongest
wills;
These are the powers of the humblest
heart.
All, spend them ere Loves moment shall
have set.
