Roosevelt on the ground that their

The case of Wlnthrop somewh. '
Illustrates. Mr. Roosevelt ran ttoss

This was toward the fore nil of his
llrst administration and as Wlntlirip
was likely material for the expel

made him a Judge of firs Instance.
s this is a history rather than a ro-
mance It must be admitted tlmt Win-
ill in p d'd not greatly distinguish
himself as a Judge or. It would he
more accurate to sny that Wlnthrop
distinguished lilmsi-lf hi the uroug

Wlnthrop had more talent for execu-

was bundled ofr to I'orto Klco whoro

Wlnthrop did better In I'orto Hlco

Xow at tha age of 31. Wlnthrop l

very onerous. Ills discretionary power
