Spouse: not an unnecessary word is

Srsham smiles broadly again. Erasps
your hand, whirls. and dashes back to
his desk.
Nobody could tell whether Mr..
Bonaparte was Joking or serious when
he talked. He had q fashion of tell
ing the most solemn. portentous
things with his face screwed into q
comical. droll grin which gave the i'm.
preston that he was indulging in q
little foolery.
Nobody will make this mistake
about George W. Wickersham. When
he announces that the government is
to sue the whisky trust OF the sugar
trust. everybody who hears him will
know that he means 1t.
When word first came to Washing
ton that Taft had chosen a New York
man named Wickersham to be attor.
ney general it created much wonder
ment.
The Roosevelt trust busters shook
their heads obviously the deeper they
dug into Mr.. Wickersham's record. 1t
was found that he had done effective
work for James ]. Hill in some old
railroad suits in the middle west IL
years ago. and that he had been the
master mind in big railroad merger
negotiated by the Mexican govern
ment. More recently Mr.. Wickersham
had been associated with New York
corporations and was general counsel
for the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company up to few months ago.
1t seemed as though the new attor.
ney general was straight-out cor
poration lawyer and when August Bel.
mont's publicity agent chaperoned
him ON his first trip to Washington
the reformers and radicals were some
what discouraged.
After q brief talk with Mr.. Wick
ersham the doubling Thomases were
somewhat treasured. At any rate
they have suspended judgment and
are willing to believe that the anti
trust laws are to be enforced. ne
calling the metamorphosis OF Phiian-
der Chase Knox from trust conserver
to trust buster, the hopeful ones have
plucked up courage in Mr.. Wicker
sham's case.
