Washington, Sept. 27;-No man in the United States today has had 90 distinguished a public career, nor been so much in the public eye dur Elihu Root, whom President Hard ing his selected as the second mem- Der of the American Big Four" to negotiate an armament understand ing with the great powers of the world.
 Few men have been so praised and so castigated, few men have so many warm friends and admirers and few have more bitter enemies. Yet, friend or foe, it is universally recognized that there is no man in America to- day more qualified by experience or training to represent the United States at this conference than Elihu Root.
 Theodore Roosevelt once said of him: 'I would walk on my hands and knees from Washington to Oyster Bay to make him President" And later this same positive T. R. said: He stands as the representative of the men and the policies of reaction; he is the representative of the bosses and of special privilege
 And, curiously enough. it is quite probable that T. R. was sincere in both utterances. His first statement referred to E1iru Roots amazing abil- ity a sa thinker, an executive and a lawyer. his second referred to E1ihu Root as the master legal mind for Boss Tweed. as counsel for the Steel Trust, for the Sugar Trust, Standard Oil. for the Gould Railroads and for scores of other Big interests and corporations.
 A man of curious paradoxes is E1ihu Root, now nearing his 77th year and
 about to engage on another great public duty with all the enthusiasm of a boy of 21 for his work. He is a maker and breaker of con-
 stitutions. He is quoted as having once said that he "cou1d drive a horse and wagon through every article and amendment of the Costitution." It is perhaps doubtful if he ever said it, because Root is a modest man, but whether he did Or did not the quota magnificent legal attainments. Throughout his long legal career he has figuratively driven a horse and wagon through many of the Federal laws. On the other and more con-

NORTHWEST STICKS
 TO CHINOOK JARGON
Queer Dialect of Pioneer Traders Still Current in
 Vicinity of Tacoma.

Tacoma Wash. Sept 27-The Chi nook jargon, the prevalent means of communication in pioneer days be- E tween traders of all nations and the Indians, is still heard in the North west when old settlers meet in reun- ion or at pioneer picnics. The jargon 2 IS said to date back to the early part of the 18th century when English and spanish naViSators adopted certain xowels and consonants to convey their meaning to the Indians The dialect grew in the course of the t years, uncn finally words were evolv- ed to express almost every idea that might occur It was the universal ! language during the early trading pe- TIod, aand was known by Indians, English, French, ,Spaniards and Amer jeans alike. One of the first things Northwest was to learn Chinook so kthat he cC~A converse with the In- Edians- Eacn tribe had a language of its own, but all knew Chionok.
 Some of the most common Chinook ! expressions and their meanings are as follows: Klahowya, good morn Eins; kahtah mika, what ails you;
 kumtux mika Boston wawa. do you sokoke opalo. where did you catch that | trout; kahta mika, how are you; fchahco yahkwa. come here friend Ez1bba, very we'll Boston man, Aneri- !

 Fal, gum
 Some of these words have become
 kfairly current in this section. In or
 dinary speech a man often refers to a
 kdear friend as his ''tilicun''; a person
 who is of little account is aften called
 f"cu1tus," and "skookum' is often ap-
 tplied to a man of great strength or
 physical vigor.
