 MT. Roosevelt" said the Attorney General. "has shifted his ground very materially since he began his attempts to belittle the work of this admins tration in enforcing the sherman law
 Mr wickersham again. commended to the perusal of the colonel a magazine article by Frank R. Kellogg. who pros ecuted the Standard oil, saying the trust had been actually dissolved, and added:

Now, something can be done by law A good deal can. be done by law. Even more can be, done by the honest adminis- tration of the law; and administration that knows neither fear nor favor which treats each man exactly as that mans record entities him to be treat ed
 And I would add that President Ta.t's admnistrati ton has accomplisheu that
