Probably the most talked-of man today in America, is Thomas W. Lawson, a financier, famous" in a dozen ways outside of his gigantic dealing with dollars. His dramat ic break with the Stardard Oil Company, and his telling exposure of himself and his' millionaire confederates in the pages of Everybody's Magazine, have brought him un der the lime light of public gaze, and his relentless reve lations are being read by thousands with indignant inter est. Never has there been a more open detail of the se cret methods of the money makers, or a more vivid pic taring of the unblushing fraud which underlies modern financial methods. Mr. Lawson has a style of his own, clear, incisive, aph oristic, forceful and harmonious as an anvil chorus. He is absolutely fearless and libel suits have for him no ter ror. He pins down the spiders of "Frenzied Finance" for nnhlic insneotion.

The late Senator Hanna was formally the chairman of that committee. Since his death Senator Piatt, of New York, has been in the direct line of the promotion to the chairmanship and in the ordinary run of things would get the billet. Rut Senator Piatt has been disinclined to give up his chairmanship of the committee on printing. Besides this his health has not been robust It was generally believed that the managing men of the senate were not favorably disposed to letting the chair manship of the interoceanic canal come to. the Pacific coast. Owing to the amount of attention which he has devoted to the subject of canals Senator Mitchell is gen erally regarded as unusually well qualified for the position of chairman of the interoceanic canal. 0 T", L If -1" ' 1 W.i conrtesv called financial hnsinAss and the oormntion and ruwr, atcninwy ami nau,uu m r !
