Gavs Root What Root Had
Psss»d Out to Oapaw.
Senator Depew told a little story on
himself and Seuatur Root In a siieecb
at a dinner In Washington to Mr.
Root by the New York Republican
congressional delegation.
"When Root wna secretary of state."
said Senator De|>ew, "I went over to
see him aud asked him If be couldn't
do something for me In tbe line of
consular appointments. He said: ’Sen­
ator. I'm sorry. I would like t<> do
something for New York, but'—and
Mr. Root picked up a paper from bis
desk—*1 see that New York's quota Is
now exceeded by 14 per cent.’
"Well." continued Senator Depew. “I
kept going to see Senator Root for a
year. Every time 1 went to see him
be would remind me that New York's
quota was exceeded by 14 per cent.
Finally I said. 'Mr. Secretary, 1 think
you're a great statesman, but your
mathematics are Inclined to be auto-
matic.'
“After awhile Mr. Knox became sec­
retary of state." Senator Depew said
when the laughter bud subsided. "Sen

said Mr Knox, ‘but’—aud he turned to
