BY PHILIP C. JESSUP.


The resemblance between Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt
is not wholly nominal nor is 1t con-
fined to the coincidence that both
served in the Navy Department, the
New York governorship and the
White House In the 1882 campaign
there were a number of instances
like the use of the word "dee-lighted'
which suggested that the later
Roosevelt was quite aware of the
political value of reminding people OF
T. R.
Both men are marked by great
physical vitality, the magic power Of
oratorical appeal to the people and
the cordial dislike of what is known
as Wall Street" The one had hi,
'malefactors of good wealth." the
other has his economic royalists.
Both expressed dissatisfaction-to put
it mildly-wth the courts; both ad.
vocated progressive social and labor
policies
Perhaps their differences are ever
more marked One of these differ.
ences is the fact that Theodore Roose.
welt had at his side, during most ol
his public career, Elihu Root Roo
was there in 1908 when a small group
of men, all close friends Of T. r.

he sent word to Root that he felt very
strongly about the foreign diplomats
addressing him as "Excelency" ana
would Root please see that they did
not do it, the first member OF the
cabinet wrote back: why not soak
the foreign gent one when he does it7"
Root Gave Primary Law Advice.
Just a few days before the abrupt
note which frightened the Governors
STAFF. Root had advised him on the
subject Of 4 new primary law, and
Roosevelt had replied: Il cannot
thank you enough, old man. for the
literally invaluable aid you are giving
me-"
Root, attorney for Thomas Fortune
RYAN and others with interests in the
New York street railways, opposed
Roosevelt's attempt to tax the
franchises. Yet Roosevelt rather
chided him for leaning over backward
in not urging upon him the interests
of his clients in various matters while
others were bombsrding him with
their own interests. He apparently
took it for granted that Root was dis
gruntled about the franchise tax
matter, but such was far from being
he case. Root kept his law practice
and his clients interests wholly sepa-
rate and apart from his duties as a
citizen.
ITO be q lawyer working for fees is
not to be any the less q citizen whose
unbought service Is due to his COM
munity and his country with his best
and constant effort" Root told the
students at Yale in 1904.
Some years later Root argued
against the constitutionality of this
franchise tax law in the United States
Supreme Court. The court decided
against him-"Quite properly" he said
later. Roosevelt never could see that
a lawyer could argue q case under a
law which gave his clients rights and
not be responsible for the policy Of
the law. OF course, you can't deprive
a client Of his rights under the law
Just because you think the law ought
to be repealed. When a lawyer is in
case he is looking out for his
clients rights. and II they rest on
statute he is bound to give him the
benefit of them and he isn't think
ing OF the policy Of the statute.

dent Of Warrington, where he had
been acting rs Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy. Like many taxpayer,
he felt that he was being overtaxed:
he had for = time . house In New
York City and he had 4 permanent
place at Oyster Bay. He was paying
taxes regularly, but his statements
~ to residence were conflicting. Ac-
cording to the constitution Of New
York, the Governor must have been
. resident of the State for the pre-
ceding nve years. Roosevelt was
frightened, probably excessively 80.
Root later described the situation:
Roosevelt was youngster. He didn't
know much about business affairs.
He got caught in little inconsistency
OF an anndavit about his tax. Jack
Roosevelt, who was looking after his
affairs, had made the afidavit AZ
strong Is he could, and it was open
to possible, but not a natural, In
terpretation which would have dis
qualified Roosevelt for the governor
ship. I went all over 1t and came to
the conclusion that it was all right.
It was = question Of using the word
residence In one OF several senses.
I went up to Stockbridge to get Choate
to come in on 1t and Choate wouldn't
do 1t, but said to me: I don't see
anything for 1t, Root, but for you to
10 up to the convention and jump 1t
on them So went"
Root Eliminated Danger.
He made 4 mastery technical ex-
position before the convention and
won his case; the convention nomi-
mated Roosevelt. Roosevelt was grate-
full with all the warmth Of his exuber-
ant nature, which had exaggerated the
danger and therefore exaggerated the
importance of his escape from it.
Assuming that it was . rea. danger,
there Is no question that Root alone
eliminated it.
On January 27, 1899, shortly after
his Inauguration, Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt received shock. As he ar
rived at his Office. he noted an at
mosphere of gloom. In came his
private secretary with an expression
which combined bewilderment, anxiety
and indignation. He sent the stenog-
rapher out of the room, closed the door
and laid before the Governor the fol-
lowing letter:
Sir: In view of the inclosed article
must decline your further acquaint-
ance. Yours truly, E. ROOT.
The inclosure was a newspaper clip
ping with = far-fetched attack on
Roosevelt After "a moments awful
calm" Roosevelt wrote to Root, he re-
allied it was Rootian jest; he was
later to become familiar with them
and to derive constant Joy from them
but this was his flrst experience. As
President, he would grin with delight
when Secretary Of State Root returned

The Inauguration of President

Washington, today, everyone is
arlxiously wondering as to what
sort Of weather viii prevail during
the festivities. Climatic history has
been scanned and citizens have been
pleasantly surprised to find that, as
an average, January goth has been
found to be more delightful than
the average March 4th, the date of

ception of that of George Washing
ton. who took office in New York
on April 80, 1889.
From Abraham Lincoln to Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt, only
four other men have ridden twice
from the White House to the, Cap
itol to take the oath of Office. Those
reelected to the Presidency after
serving full terms were Grant,
Cleveland, Mckinley and Wilson.
During the past summer / be-
came greatly interested in the de-
velopment of visual education in the
schools of the state. Dr.. e. o. Hol-
land, president of the washington
State College, offered the facilities
of that institution as a depository
for government films. When this
fact became known, schools of the
state quickly ratified the idea and
furnished concrete evidence that IA
cilities exist which can make use of
government films. I am happy to
report that the Department of the
Interior has already designated me
Washington State College as a de-
pository for such films as it has a.
valuable, while am endeavoring to
secure the same concession from the
Department of Agriculture. This is,
indeed a feature of government CO.
operation which should prove of
great value to the states schools.
