hard to define but expresses the situa-
tion.
Senator Knox was born at Browns
Vile, Pa, in 1853. His education,
after his common school days, was OBJ
tanned at Mount Union College, AL
lance, o., where he was graduated in
1872. Knox studied law with H. B.
Swope at Pittsburg, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1875. While he
was a student William Mckinley was
prosecuting attorney of Stark county
and Mr.. Knox heard him speak often
at the college literary society. In
1876 Knox accepted the only political
position he ever held until he went
into President McKinley's cabinet,
that of assistant United States dis
trict attorney for the western dis
trict of Pennsylvania.
Knox held the position but a short
time, when he resigned. He grew
into influence in Pittsburg, became
an owner in it's realty and its cor.
porate interests, and acquired a great
fortune in it's business. He was in
politics in a peculiar way. He was
persistent in making personal ad-
vancement with the leaders of the
Republican party, but was unwilling,
or at least failed to serve his city
in the capacity of a public servant, or
to lend helping hand in it's rescue
from an organized band of grafters
that robbed his city of millions.
Mr.. Knox was recognized as the
head of the bar in Western Pennsyl-
vania when Mr.. Mckinley invited
him to enter the cabinet as attorney
general, and he was sworn into Office
April 8, 1901, to succeed John w.
'Griggs.
Mr., Knox remained in the cabinet
of President Roosevelt until June 80,
1904, when he resigned to accept the
seat in the United States senate
made vacant by the death of Senator
Quay. One of his acts in the senate
that stood out" was his defense of
Senator Smoot. of Utah.
Senator Knox was twice offered a
seat on the Supreme bench but de-
clined saying he preferred a more
active life. 1t developed last year he
considered himself presidential ma
terial and that was his real reason
for turning down the Supreme court
appointment. When he found he had
no chance to get the nomination for
the presidency he began to pull wires
for the attorney generalship.

SAY FILL MADE is
FOOT TOO HIGH

AT recent meeting of the city coun-
Gil resolution was adopted asking
the board of public service to make
fill on certain portion of West Ninth
street. The members of the board no
doubt thinking that an investigation
had been made by the councilman
offering the resolution ordered Street
Superintendent Pearson to do the
work, who put its provisions into eff
feet, rounding up his work nicely.
1t now appears that some of the prop
erty holders are raising a howl. They
say that the fill is about foot higher
than the grade stakes that had been
put there by former engineer and il
the board does not cut that fill down to
conform to these stakes that there
will be some suits for damages.
