MIR. BRYAN AND THE SPEAKER.
NoicIns Charges that Cannot BE sub
stantiated.
Washington Herald Nndl.

Washington Herald dnd.D.
William Jennings Bryan is not appear
ing at his best of late. IL the random ex-
preston credited to him be correct and
the editorial excerpts from his paper fairly
represent him, he is lacking that poise and
breadth of view once so becoming in him.
An instance In point of his unwarranted,
almost vicious, arraignment of Speaker
Cannon. 1t is true that in the heat of the
national struggle last year-a contest con-
Quoted on a deplorably low plane in many
phases-Mr. Cannon somewhat rudely as
sailed Mr.. Bryan and subjected himself to
a counter attack quite justifiable and in
keeping with the day and time.
But things hat are taken as a matter
of course in a campaign jar nightly II re-
peated when the public mind is in a normal
state. Whatever one may think of the
system under which the speaker rules the
house-and it has not commended itself
to this newspapcr-certainly there is moth
ing in the speakers record. or i'm his per-
sonality, that furnishes a legitimate basis
for the aspersions which Mr.. Bryan casts
upon him. If called upon to defend or sub
stantiate his charge that Mr.. Cannon Is
in the control of corporations and uses

undoubtedly the Nebraskan would fail. and
fail miserably. Nothing but humiliation
could come to him as sponsor for such
charges before any properly constituted
tribunal. Moreover, If any such proof
were forthcoming, n stigma would be put
upon the entire majority of the house.
When Nh. Bryan or the press attacks
the system there is solid ground to stand
upon. That those democrats who broke
from their party to perpetuate the system
will find difficulty in squaring themselves
with intelligent constituencies is a fore
gone conclusion. But attack upon the
speakers character will not hasten a new
era in the house. He is what the majority
makes him and would nave him be-noth-
ing more and nothing less. And Mr.. Bryan
has not helped the cause of reform by
his latest utterance personal to Mr.. Cannon.

II does not seem as though the practice
of husband murder ought to be made pc

killing her husband, has secured a judg-

the Modern Woodmen held by her husband
1t is true, she had been pardoned by the
governor, but that is a very different thing
from an acquittal, AS she was convicted

good, sound public policy to permit her to

This combination of qualities is part of
the equipment which makes him so i'm
mensely valuable to corporations whose
officers are not lawyers, and whose in
terests are so vast that no mistake may
be made. For Mr.. Wickersham is not made
timid by the magnitude of the interests
involved in his case; his blunt, clear
methods are the same whether the sum
involved is $50 or $50, OOO,0 600.
An Illustration of this is given in the
case of his opinion on the Steinway tunnel
franchise. where $4,000, 900 was involved.
1t was on ms opinion on the legal rights
of the company that this tunnel was built.
Rhe matter was submitted to him at a time
when the legality of the move was being
attacked on every side. Mr.. Wickersham
gave the company one of his direct, clear
opinions. In answer to the newspaper
crusade all that Mr.. Belmont had to say
was thai he and his associates had an
opinion from Mr.. Wickersham thai they
had a right to build the tunnel. and that
they were building 1t accordingly. In otheI
words, the company staked s10,OOO,OOO on
Mr.. Understands word. Every court to
which the question has gone has upheld
the franchise.
Nor is heER lawyer who delegates the
study of cases to subordinates. He does
not take bulky volumes of evidence to
clerks and have them read them through
and make notes for his persual; he reads
them at first hand and makes his own
notes. Subordinates or others who bring
him suggestions which he accepts get the
credit for them; Wickersham never steals

His methods-as a lawyer illustrate 1t.

an opinion unless he is thoroughly posted
on the subject, the opinion, when it does
come, comes with all the decisiveness and
brevity of a shot from a gun. There are
no ifs in it, no lands" no butts While
