That Joker is a clause which would
anneal the whole question to the
courts in cases where the interstate
commerce commission had settled the
facts. Thus the cases would be tried
over again once more than now, ana
thus the railways would reap an ad-
vantage.
The surprising thing in this Is not
that the Joker Is there. but that 1t was
discovered by Mr. Wickersham.
And now, while he Is joker-hunting.
let us point out to him the biggest
Joker in the bill as he Cor Geo w.

will be remembered that the bill be-

OF the stock In another-as Is the case

Rock Island aggregation, and In fact
with most of the mileage of the coun-
try.
Now. forgetting for moment
about the railways. let us recall the

case. establish the stocks-and-bonds

capital on which we shall have to pay

II seemed to make no difference to
the Misguided Man that the lady or

ket was walking after breakfast. He
did not hold II against the plumed
lady that she took breakfast so late;
he spoke to her full as pleasantly as
he did to the washerwoman who took

Also he spoke pleasantly to other
people.
