ROOTS
FUNERAL SET
FOR TUESDAY
Brilliant Statesman's Pass
ing Early Sunday Was
Unexpected

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. (UP).-
Statesman Elihu Root, who once
was called the greatest secretary
of state in American history, vii
be buried Tuesday at Clinton, N
Y. where he was born 81 years
ago.
The brilliant, white-haired Ju'
rist died at 1890 a. m. Sunday OF
pneumonia, eight days before nc
would have celebrated his 92nd
birthday. He was the last of a fa'
nous trio including William How
ard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt
Root died Unexpectedly, for his
condition was not believed serious.
AT his bedside were Mr.. and Mrs.
Elihu Root, Jr., of New York; an
other son, Edward Wales Root, OF
Clinton, and a daughter, Mrs
Edith Root Grant.
He left reputation as one OF
the greatest thinkers of his time
AS secretary of war in President
McKinley's cabinet, secretary OF
state in President Theodore Roosc-
yelt's cabinet. winner of the No
bel peace prize in 1912 and a
leader in the pace movement dur
ing his last few years, Root re-
served a distinguished niche IN
American history for himself.
By his friends Root was consld'
cred a brilliant intellectual; by his
enemies a conservative and reac.
tionary. But little was known OF
his sardonic wit and the story OF
his cabinet days with President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War
Taft.
They called themselves the
"three musketeers" and signed
themselves Athos for Root, Por'
thos for Taft and Aramis fol-
Roosevelt. Letters arrived for the
president of the United States
marked "Private, Confidential and
Foolish" They were invariably
from Root.
Roosevelt once asked Root how
a Serbian prince could be dlstln,
guished from an imposter. Root
replied:
"The best method to tell wheth'
er a Serbian prince is genuine Is
to place a piece of litmus paper
in his month. If the reaction is
acid, he's a genuine Serb
Athos."
He was born on Feb. Is, 1845
at Clinton, the third son of Prof
Oren Root of the mathematics
staff of Hamilton college.
He was graduated from Hamil,
ton college at 20, studied law al
New York university and received
his degree in 1867.
He scored a brilliant diplomatic
victory as secretary Of state un'
der Roosevelt. He obtained the
"gentleman's agreement" from ia
pan by which Japan promised to
limit immigration into the United
States. He perpetuated Johr
Hays open door policy in China
bettered relations with Japan and
cemented friendship between the
United States and South Amcri'
can republics.
Root became u. S. senator IN
1909 by vote of the legislature
He served six years. The period
was momentous from two points
he broke with Roosevelt and
sided with Taft in the famous
"Bull Moose" affair and nc re-
ceived the $4,000 Nobel peace
prize for his eminent merits IN
the pacifcation of the Philippines
and Cuba and in handling the
Russo-Japanese dispute.
Root at II in 1916 ran for the
Republican nomination for presl'
dent which was won by Charles
Evans Hughes on the third ballot
In 1920 Root drew up the for
mula which led to the world court
For years he fought unsuccessful-
ly for U. S. participation.

Every fish is healthy specimen"
Orsineer says. To overcome the lack
OF sunlight. the fish get vitanin diets
OF shredded beef hearts, shrimps, oat-
meal, cooked spinach. The frogs are
fed with spoon. Orsinger has tanned
the tank fish so that they eat out Of
his hand. Then there are the Ana
Dascendas, which can walk from ons
pond to another propelled by their
pectoral fins. They obligingly walked
plank for Orsinger. The Testadons
make ball Of themselves protectingly
when their bellies are scratched. The
little sunflsh are doing their bit by
picking lice off the big fish. A goldfish
with red cross on his back is new
acquisition. The donor wanted the
little fellow to be near the National
Red Cross headquarters
A native Of La Sale, Ill, where h.
was born in 1877. Orsinger spent his
boyhood collecting FISH, clutterinT uo
his house with tanks, fishing every
body OF water in three States. Every
man should have hobby to get avay
from the pressure of life" Orsineer
says. Mine has always been fish"
A heating and ventilating engineer Of
Chicago, Orsinger says that his voca-
tion In the heating business provided
the vherewithal to pursue his avoca-
tion Of fishing, until the two became
one when he became director Of the
aquarium.
When John G Shedd offered three
millions to Chicago for any educational
purpose, the city chose an aquarium.
Orsinger was appointed fresh water
curator and collector. His accuain-
tance with ichthyoloeists and fisher
men in the States made his efforts
most successful. When the late Mr..
Henry O'Malley. then commissioner
OF fisheries, moved the old aquarium
material from Sixth and B streets,
he borrowed Orsinger for the Job.
This led to his present appointment.

incidentally, Congress itself has by
law indicated that it does not approve
Of persons taking Office who are not
confirmed when there has been a
chance for them to win confirmation.
The revised statutes of the United
States ever since 1869 have provided:
No money shall be paid from the
Treasury as a salary to any person
appointed during the recess OF the
Senate to fill vacancy in any existing
office, II the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session, and was BY

The most important court decision
Of recent years bearing on the point
at issue was in Colorado in 1928 when
clause in the State constitution
virtually the same as that in the Fed
eral Constitution was construed by the
Supreme Court of Colorado to mean
that once a vacancy occurs during 4
session OF the upper house OF the Legis-
lature nomination must then be
made or else recess appointment Is
barred. The Colorado Legislature met
on January 7, 1925. and sat in con-
tinuous session till April II, 1928. But
notwithstanding that vacancy oc-
CURED in the State Board Of Land
Commissioners on January Is. 1928,
the Governor waited until April 16,
1925. the very day the Senate WAS
preparing to adjourn. and the nomina-
tion was left unacted upon for lack of
time. The Supreme Court Of Colorado
refused to recognize recess appoint
ment, saying:
ut cannot be disputed that it is the
Governors constitutional duty to nom-
mate to the Senate when 1t Is in
session and upon their consent to
appoint to AL every vacant ofice.
1t follows that the Governor cannot
make an ad interim appointment in
the present case, bust must await the
session Of the Senate or call a special

that consequently there must be dim
Guilty in adjusting the two, and hence
that the conference may be so pro-
longed as to prevent enactment this
session.
In that possibility there is not much
substance. II prevention OF the bill
that way were possible it would not
be desirable Deadlock between
House and Senate would be duck
soup for President Roosevelt and the
New Dealers, for several reasons. Mr..
Roosevelt has . ''peeve" on Congress
and would be delighted to see them
held here in contention and discom-
fort.
More serious than that. deadlock
between House and Senate, inability
Of Congress to function even if only
temporarily, would be grist for the
radicals. those whom Gen. Hugh john
son calls the "Machiavells." They
would have the chance to say. Look
at that, look At Congress, look at gov
ernment by old-fashioned parliament

At all times now. the most impor-
tant yardstick by which TO test events

ton OF = changed form Of govern
ment. Essential in the process by
which one-man government was
brought to Europe WAS the discredit-
ing Of government by parliament, II
the new form Is to be imposed on
America, destroying respect for Con-
gress Is a requisite. Destroying re-
spect for Congress is as necessary as
destroying respect for the courts. Any
one who, for the sake Of temporary
Icy. wishes to see Congress function
badly or not at albany such person
IA playing into the hands of the
Machiavellis. BY al means, let Con-
gress pass the wage and hour bill,
now that 1t has got this far Amend
the bill, perfect 1t, pass the best YER
sion attainable-but pass 1t.
To say whether the pending measure,
any version Of 1t, Is good or bad public
policy Is not easy. A minimum wage
law, outlawing wages below = certain
low minimum and limited to that
objective. Is practicable, constitutional
and desirable. This objective is not
only worthy from = humanitarian
point Of view. but feasible from a prac-
tical point Of view.
