president in speaking of mr air routs roots work as secretary of state said bald that tn in the whole history of the country there had been no jr greater reater secretary than ellhu root mr roosevelt d de e on mr root to give to the country a good many of his views on government there were some things in which mr roosevelt believed that mr root did not believe in but the president always knew how

the great story teller of the roosevelt cabinet it Is said that the colonel once declared that shaw was the author of the arabian nights for he be had bad heard beard him tell one thousand and one stories mr air shaws stories are not of state bu but of human interest shaw sold apple trees mr shaw was waa yankee born ile iia went west to grow up with the country as the time tried saying has baa it ib he wished to study law and in order to got get the money to do studying he sold apple troea trees they wore were good apple p le trees the farmers of the west as another has put it in tho the long winter evenings found their mouths watering for the succulent apples of the old eastern homestead it must bo be remembered that most moat of 0 these early day farmers in iowa were yankees shaw resolved that apples were his bis long suit and he set out scores of the great orchards of iowa lie ile dealt fairly and in delivering the goods lie be made friends and became known throughout the

was waa secretary of the department of commerce and labor postmaster general and secretary of tho the treasury in the roosevelt cabinet temperamentally mr cortelyou and ellhu roat hoot who was mr Roosevel ts secretary of state have been said to be much alike doth both of these men have hava been put down so as cold the word probably may do both of f them an injustice for perhaps the word reserved fits the case better it is understood der stood that mr cortelyou Is to support mr air tatt taft but he has not yet said the word that will set him in a way politically at least against his old chieftain when mr air cortelyou was appointed the first secretary of ane department of 0 commerce and labor as a republican of course some of at the disaffected ones said cortelyou originally was a democrat now in that saying s a thinK ot of a sneer aneer for or it was as known by those who saia oata it tibar w people P ordinarily havo have no great love f for the man who climbs over the fende when the field on the other side appears to hold advantages while the field that la Is loft left holds only principle when this was sold said of cortelyou some one went back into history and there found on record this remark ot at grover cleveland president ot of the united states chott mr cortelyou was given by him an appointment 1 I 1 dont care a rap it you aro are a republican so it if was waa left to a democratic P resident president to set at rest any doubt that the man who held thi thieo ee jobs one atter after another in the cabinet ot or a republican president was ever anything else than a political adherent ot of the republican party will support taft mr air cortelyou as has been said aalde probably will support president tatt taft as against theodore roosevelt for the republican nomination but it will bo be a personal wrench for him so to do it la Is not likely that mr cortelyou Corto lyou will get into the field as an active ram laign manager but he knows how it
