dustrial conditions had SO developed
and changed that, the Sherman law,
which had long lain dormant, would
have to be revived and applied, which
would be neither an easier nor pop
ular task, and he did not feel like
undertaking the work which was
sure to come about. 1t would mean
greater sacrifices than he felt he was
able to make at that time or should
be expected to make in view of his
long. and ungrudging public service
in the busy years of his life prior to
MS elevation to the bench.
Prediction Comes True.
This prediction was not accepted
at the time 1t was made, but shortly
afterward President Mckinley re-
called 1t. It had come true. and 1t
continued from year to year to BE-
made more than ever true. Judge
Con had foreseen with startling
clarity of vision what was destined
to come to pass. The attorney gen
eralship was an easy and honorable
berth when he was solicited to take
il. Since then. as he declared would
he the case, it became anything else
except easy, although no less honor
able, and many times as important an
adjunct Of the executive department
of the government. 1t also became
and this is the sad part about it"
the burial ground OF many high hopes
Of further advancement in public
life. 1t has turned out to be blind
alley in the plat Of the land of poll
tics, and there seems to be nothing
ahead for the man who takes the JOB
in these times. 1t is strange, but 1t
is true.
y And thus we have the reminiscent
reason why Nathan Golf. now as SEN
ator Of the United States, did not
serve a second time as a member OF
presidents official family-an IN
tercsting story which is here given
for the first time.

Were Close Friends.
&c. and Mckinley were very close,
intimate friends. Their friendship
began when they were in the army.
lThey were thrown together much in
those stirring. dangerous days, and
I,heir friendship continued in all the
wears after, becoming more and more
init nate, till it was Mack and
NG.e" when they we're alone to-
t,cthCr. and free from prying eyes
and alert ears. They served in the
nou,c Of representatives together.
The ties which bound them were very
close When the plans were laid to
get the presidential nomination de
spite the fact that he was on the
| bench, It Is a pretty safe guess That
the then Judge Golf, did not neglect
to do anything, by counsel or advice
at least. that he could do COmpatIDI"

that time, to further the high Nspira-
