W|CKERSHAMATW WORK
New Attorney General Different
From His Predecessors.
NEWSPAPERS ON THE ALERT

Head of the Department Of Justice
Favors an Open Door Policy and
Will Keep the Reporters Busy.
Some Characteristics of the Man.
When Attorney General George w.
Wickersham entered upon his official
duties at the Department of Justice
in Washington recently it was at once
evident that for the next four years
there is to be an Attorney General of an
entirely new kind.
OF course everybody knew that it
would be novelty to have an Attorney
General who had never had anything
to do with politics, much less held office,
and who was known solely as an eminent
lawyer in private practice. Mr.. Knox
occupied a similar position, but even
he had had more to do with public
affairs than Mr.. Wickersham, and of
the others in recent years Mr.. Griggs
had been Governor of New Jersey, Mr..
Moody was Congressman from Massa-
chusetts, and Mr.. Bonaparte had been
prominent in politics for years.
But it became evident that Mr. Wick
ersham was to be a new kind Of At
torncy General in other respects. That
sort of premonition or provision that
runs through Washington had been
busy for some days before he came.
This sort of subterranean telegraphy
is a well-known phenomenon in Wash
ington. and its accuracy is frequently
surprising. Men who had never seen
Wickersham and knew hardly any
thing about him were saying, There
will be something really doing at the
Department of Justice now"
This premonition or provision is not
joke Its strength may be gathered
from the fact that several newspapers
which had hitherto left the Depart
ment of Justice uncovered assigned re-
porters to cover it, and to begin as
soon as Mr.. Wickersham got there.
Mr.. Wickersham promptly declared
the open-door policy. He assembled
the newspaper men on a Monday and
said to them. Heretofore my clients
have been individuals and corporations.
In performing my duties to them I
have said nothing to outside persons
about their matters.
"Now my clients are the people of
the United States from Maine to Cali
fornia, and my new clients should be
kept informed about my conduct of
the interests which have been placed
by them in my charge. shall do it
through you. They are your clients,
too, and an incorrect statement by any
of you will do harm to your clients and
mine. Let us work together.
These were not his exact words, but
they are near enough to them. They
did more than anything else to confirm
the impression already gained that q
new kind of Attorney General had
come to Washington.
1t was characteristic of him, and
especially of his direct way of going
straight to the heart of a thing. II
one were asked to sum up his character
and methods in a sentence the words
"directness" and "clarity" would have
to be in it.
His methods as a lawyer illustrate it
and are different from those Of mos
