THE Copper King"

Rumors come from Boston that the
threatened mov of Thomas w. Law
son. hat city's famous Copper
King" which was going to smash the
Standard Oil Trust to smithereens
and put Amalgamated Copper utterly
to the bad. IS off.
Lawson, so it is said, prepared a
series of eighteen magazine articles
loaded to the muzzle with discomfort
ing statistics; but for some reason or
other he has concluded not to publish.
Inasmuch rs Mr.. Lawson, in COM
pany with many others, is reputed to
have dropped a neat bunch of real
money when the bottom went out of
the stock market something over a
year ago, the quality, if not the guam
tity, of the Lawson persuasive may
be guessed.
Thomas w. Lawson is a living refU-
tation of the statement that a rolling
stone gathers no moss. He began
rolling at the early age of eleven
years, when he was only an Office boy
on the "street," and at t~wenty-four he
was a regular high roller, seating al
the tables of the mighty and engi-
neering financial deals that involved
millions.
The really remarkable feature in
connection with Lawson has always
been his success in keeping the peo-
pie on his side. Ever since he first
attracted attention as a manipulation
of gas stock and compelled even J.
Edward Addicks to lower his colors
at his command, Tom Lawson has
been an excellent imitation of a pop.
ular idol. He has been trusted in al
unaccountable way and been able L
put off many audacious schemes sim.
ply because it was felt that he haC
public sentiment at his back.
Probably the reason for this is tha-
Lawson has a good deal of the Presi
dent Roosevelt quality in his make
up. He is a believer in the strenu
Gus life, a game loser, and a genuin,

and lose than not fight at all.
That men like Lawson have an un
healthy effect on the community
however. is unquestionably true. Tn
very fact that Lawson's dramati
quality increases his attractfvenes
makes him doubly dangerous. Man
a poor fellow has lost his little al
after being dazzled into reckless da
ing and ill-advised speculations b.
Lawson's captivating exhibitions Q
bluff and bamboozle.
What controls Lawson is love O
power. and the only way that h
knows to gain power is to max
money. Lawson is a gambler pur
and simple, though he operates by III
legalized meth0ds of wagering on tn
rise and fall of stocks: and in hi
business he knows no ethics exceI
those of the gambler. that the en-

Consequently, if the Standard o

Those who affected the short skirt
