federal bench in st louis even the very case in which he used the expression has been bon fixed and the archaeologists who have been carrying on the investigation defy the J world to show them being missouri men why and where they are wrong certain claims that the phrase get at the th man higher up or get to the man higher up was first used by theodore roosevelt are cited by the historians in question who have gone into the inquiry with all the caution and precaution of tue scientists nowhere in the folklore of the vaudeville stage or of the dally daily press can be found the slightest reference to the man higher up previously to the date in 1903 when judge adams charging a federal grand jury in their investigation of certain naturalization frauds which were the talk of the country at that time told the jury to look not only tor for the little man who Is made a tool but for the man higher up one or two words about the personal history of the man who invented the legal principle of the man higher up will not be out of place as a protocol judge dams was barp and brought up as a farmer boy on a hillside in vermont 14 worked like a slave to get a little schooling and by the kind of frugality and labor familiar to some people who have come out of a college managed to worm his way through yale almost as soon as he had got his degree he fell into a big piece of luck A number of new england philanthropists had raised a fund to reorganize education in the south just after the close of the civil war they hired adams to go south on the work at a salary of 2 a year the young man found when he landed in atlanta that the most undesirable thing in the world just then in that part of the country was q carpet bagger it did not take him long iong however to prove to the satisfaction of everybody that whatever r else he might be he was hot not a carpetbagger lie ile won the admiration and assi assistance stanie of the most prejudiced persons in georgia and some of the schools in atlanta and milledgeville Milledg eville today to day are monuments to his ability as an organizer on his return to the east eat he entered the harvard harvard law school and when he

of his hn life has been car rang a chip it if not on his shoulders at least somewhere about him just now it is the nica daguan affair that is giving knox a chance to show his fighting qualities zelaya in the knox mind Is a degenerate disturber and has become a mur murderer deer with quick perception the secretary seized upon the admission of zelaya that cannon and groce the americans killed by ze laya were of cers of the revolutionary army so mr air knox has sent out a police alarm for the apprehension of a murderer it if tte the estrada government succeeds zelaya will be tried and punished for murder if it becomes necessary for the united states to lish a provisional government zelaya will be tried for murder As a matter of tact fact theve there is no loryal reason to suppose that a five toot foot two man even a states statesman mani who wears his hat at a careless angle leeps his hands in his pockets and smokes constantly without removing the cigar for a puff is belligerent and when one goes into the barn like room ot of the sec see detary of state and after a earch finds the secretary sitting on the back of his neck in a chair built tor for a much larger man looking up with the sleepy eyes ot of P C knox any indication of force of character seems impossible in the northern securities case when mr knox was attorney general he made preparations that passed over all party lines and that resulted in an uninterrupted chain ot of ile victories tories through the courts he ile selected lawyers everywhere in n the united states whom he knew without regard to whether they were republicans or democrats he was fighting again and at that time the comment was made that mr air knox was a most careless and ably ineffective as he be lo lounged tinged across lafayette park to the white house with his hat insecurely set at an angle and his hands in his pockets GRE GREAT AT TASK FOR ARCHBOLD the standard oil company has start started d its lirett final battle for life and
