America’s Eldest Statesman Passes Away;lll 2 Weeks (Continuea from Page One) of the ideas embodied in the earlier Court of Arbitration at The Hague, ideas which were developed by him when, as Secretary of State, he made over the fabric of American treaty relationships to accord with his con- viction that among nations, as among reasonable men, law could be made to govern. Because of his part in this world development he was named in 1910 as a member of the arbitration tribunal. Was District Attorney Thrse world-wide recognitions of |his talents crowned a public career which started with his appoint- ment as a Federa] District Attorney by President Arthur in 1883. Buu after two years in that office he went back to private practice and he had only a meagre background of public service when, in 1889, he was called to Washington by President McKinley to be Secretary of War. This was on the heels of the Spanish-American conflict and he found the United States army re- flecting the effects of the scanda's which followed criticisms of its ad- ministration in 1898. “Embalmed beef” aromas hung over the depart- ment, to say nothirig of popular in- dignation over the fact that Ameri- can regulars and volunteers hac been forced to wear heavy woolen uniforms i tropical Cuba and fight with black powder ammunition whose smoke revealed their posi- tions clearly to Spanish forces using the smokeless variety. Staff System Changed Secretary Root reorganized the staff system and laid a sound ground work of Army Administration that withstood acid tests years later when submifted to the crucible of the World War. To his administration also was confided the beginnings of the Pan- ama Canal and when the Consti- tution followed the flag into the Philippines he had to draw up regu- lations for colonial administration something which was new to Ameri- can experience. The army also ad- ministered affairs in Cuba during the infancy of that Republic and suppressed with 70,000 men, the Philippine insurrection. That his work was good is writ- ten in the promptness with which he was called back to Washington to become Secretary of State under Roosevelt, against his own desire to go on with the practice of law in New York. Again it was his lot to reorganize a great governmental agency and he rebuilt the consular and diplomatic services. Through them he worked more than seventy-five treaties. Tour South America One of his achievements in this term was combating the feeling of distrust which had been engendered in Latin-America by the Panama, Porto Rico and Cuba developments. Governments and peoples in Central and South America saw threats to | their independence in the southward expansion of United States’ influ-y ences and ‘Secretary Root made a ‘long tour in which, by personal touch, he laid foundations for Pan- | American understanding and soli- darity. On the other side of the world fretful circumstances in the Pacific |and the Japanese immigration prob- lem called for the exercise of his genius for diplomacy. The Root- Takahira pact, famed as “the gentle- men’s agreement,” emerged to keep peace in the Pacific. Cabinet to Senate | Public life had claimed him defin- | tely now. He went from the Cabinet o the Senate, to stand squarely as \ champion of party regularity in| he hectic days of the Bull Moose movement, Wielding the gavel over the Re- »ublican National Convention at Zhicago, he held the party unwav- ringly to a course that meant de- ‘eat in the three-cornered battle of | 1912, He stuck to his guns, strong ! n the belief that the Roosevelt de- ! ‘ections was a passing mood, a be-! lief that proved itself within h!-;} lifetime. | At the end of his Senate term Mr. Root again sought retirement. But | with the World War came a new | luty, this time under a Democratic | 1dministration, when President Wil- | ion made him head of a special dip- ‘omatic mission to the ephemeral Kerensky regime in Russia. After the r Mr. Root was con-| cerned in the fight for American nembership in the League of Na- ions, trying his best he “die-hards” in the Senate to! wccept compromises which he was | sure would safe-guard this country from entangling European alli-| ances. Several times in later ye: he chided the men who blocked ti United States away from the Gene organization At Arms Conference gt | In 1921 President Harding named | him one of the American dele- gates to the Washington Arms Con- ferende. There he led the fight | against use of poison gases and the | right of submarines to attack mer- | chant vessels without warning. He engaged in the legal fight against the Volstead Act, arguing, albeit unsuccessfully, in the Su- preme Court against the constitu- tionality of that law. He maintained that congress had not the right, under the eighteenth amendment, to limit the alcoholic content of beverages to one-half of one per| cent.
