Hon Elihu Root, famous American
statesman, who may be called back in
to the political arena to lead the Re.
publican national ticket next fall, Is
II years old today. For fifty years he
has been one of the big lawyers OF
America, and his entry into politics
was as leader of the reform element
OF the Republican party. AS a corpo-
ration lawyer he handled some OF the
most famous litigation. NH. Root was
born at Clinton, \. y, on February Is,
1876, the son of noted educator. He
was a school teacher in his youth, but
sought the field of law. His national
career began in 1899, when President
Mckinley appointed him to his cabi-
ret as Secretary of War. He reorgan-
lied the department. and successfully
handled the situation in tho Philli-
pines and in Porto Rico. Government
policies took shape under his master
hand. The clearness of his vision
and his legal and business acumen
served his country well at an impor-
tant time. He left the cabinet in 1904
only to return in 1904 as Roosevelt's
Secretary of State, Secretary Root
established closer relations between the
United States and South and Central
American republics. lie served as 4
member Of the Alaskan Boundary Com
mission, was counsel for the United
States in the fisheries arbitration,
member of the permanent Court OF
Arbitration at the Hague, and became
president of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace. So widely
recognized was his work for inter
national peace that he was awarded
the Nobel peace prize few years ago
In 1909 Mr.. Root entered the Senate,
and he retired last March for a much
needed rest. His most recent work
was the shaping Of the defeated State
Constitution for Now York.

These fish grow very fast and when

They are excellent fish and furnish
