Clark man from King County in the delegation." Meritt had been slated to stay at home, but he would not stand for the political steam roller methods. He made a fight and won out.
Thomas P. Revelle has about decided to make another effort to gerrymander Will E. Humphrey out of Congress, which prompted a leading Republican to say, "Tom Revelle and Tom "Morphine" are pursuing the proper course to elect another Democrat to Congress from this state. Already the state has three Democrats in Congress and perhaps another could do no more harm."
James Hamilton Lewis, whom the Democrats of Illinois have nominated for United States senator, is well known in Seattle, as for many years he was the Beau Brummel of the Seattle 400. He was elected to Congress once from this state, but failed to succeed himself, which so disgusted him that he immediately left the state. If defeated for senator in Illinois it may be the means of that state losing his pink whiskers.
John H. Perry, who has been frequently mentioned as a probable aspirant for the Republican nomination of prosecuting attorney of King County, emphatically declares he under no circumstances will be a candidate for the office. He will leave for Washington city within a few days and does not expect to return for some weeks.
Mayor Cotterill declares he has no intention of opening a general fight against the saloon business, but wants the saloon interest to obey the law the same as other kinds of business interest. The charter has prescribed the regulations for saloons in the city and he argues, it is neither in the province of the mayor or the city council to change those laws.
Otto A. Case, who declared he intended to resign from the office of auditor of King County, April 1st, seems to have changed his mind as to resigning, but is absent from the office every day doing a political stunt that would make Don Quixote look like thirty cents with a hole in it.
O. B. Thayer has had the nerve to oppose the office force of the present sheriff of King County for the Republican nomination for sheriff and his actions are looked upon with dare devil recklessness by all (the force), and yet Thayer may make them all sit up and take notice.
Dan B. Trefethen has been favorably mentioned as the late John A. Whalley's successor to the state senate. There are few finer or fairer men in the city than Dan Trefethen and should he ever sit in the senate he would fairly and fearlessly represent his constituents, and his constituents would not simply be those in his immediate district, but the entire state.
Charles E. Clavpool of Olympia is closely watching the fight for Congress from the sec-

John Lockwood Wilson, after a four month's sojourn in Washington City representing the New Chamber of Commerce of Seattle before the Congressional committees, is home again. He is not of the opinion that Teddy the Terrible will succeed Taft as president and for no other reason than for the opposition to the third term. In speaking of the local situation he said: "What all concerned in the success of the Republican party, should have done was to get together and divide the King County delegation between the Taft and Roosevelt men, in case there were no funds to hold a preferential primary. It seems selfish motives are the moving spirits in this political controversy."
Harry Rosenhaupt of Spokane, who is a candidate for Congress from at large, was among those who did Seattle this week. Harry has always been a live one in Spokane politics and in state politics he says, "I do not propose to let the grass grow under my feet."
W. H. Paulhamus of Sumner, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination of lieutenant governor, says, "If I can not get more votes in the primary election than Booth and Ruth combined then the voters of the state will have a very poor opinion of me."
Perry Niles of Everett, who is a candidate for state land commissioner, does not entertain the belief that, the woman candidate for the same office will be his strong opponent, but on the other hand he thinks she will get fewer votes than any of the others. John Doe of Courtville said one day this week: "Soon the state will have millions of dollars to her credit and then there will be a wild scramble among financiers to control that fund and the election of a state treasurer will be responsible for more political log rolling than for the governorship. In the coming fight there will be things doing to control the office."
David H. Cox of Walla Walla, who is a candidate for state treasurer, leaves shortly for Minneapolis to attend the sessions of the Methodist Episcopal general conference, to which he is a delegate. He will not be able to be present at the Republican state convention at Aberdeen, at which the most of the leading as well as ambitious politicians of the state will be present.
Everett Smith of Seattle, more or less porminent in local politics (prohibition) is said to be slated for the vacancy on the superior court bench in King County. For the most part he has affiliated with Republicans, but styles himself a Prohibitionist. When he will have been appointed Gov. Hay will have recognized all political parties. Will H. Meritt, a local Democratic worker, who is an ardent Clark man, will be a delegate to the state convention at Walla Walla and he says, "I will not be the only

ond district and he says, "I am not at all anxious to get into the fight, but if none of the announced aspirants for Warburton's seat does not come out for President Taft then in the race I go heels over head. I am for Taft and my fight will be to hold up his hands in Congress."
Will H. Morris, the eminent expounder of criminal law, has filed his brief in the supreme court for a rehearing of the Wappenstein case. It will be considered singly and collectively by the nine members of the supreme court, which will be closely watched as it will be something of a test of Judge Ellis' legal ability who wrote the opinion confirming the ower court.
John Henry Schively, Washington's insurance commissioner, has gone to Chicago to arrange with the National Insurance Com, mission, representing the insurance companies of the world, for its annual meeting this year, which will be held in Spokane with a Pacific coast itenery of all the leading cities. The whole convention will spend about three days in Seattle and elaborate arrangements will be made to entertain them and show them the city and its surroundings while here. It was through Mr. Schively's good work that the convention came West, and representing the vast capital that it does, this section will profit greatly on account of its coming. The convention will meet sometime in July or August. While the major part of the capital on which the cities of the Pacific Coast, and especially the Northwest, has been built is from the East, yet the accumulated millions of insurance companies have not sought investment to any great extent in the Northwest. If the various delegates keenly observe what they will be shown while in Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma, they will go home with a different idea as to the future of these cities, and we venture the prediction that insurance loans in this section will be plentiful.
The Seattle Republican would like to be remembered when you have a legal notice for publication. All you have to do is to call Main 305 and some one will call for your notice and your trouble is ended.
It is safe to say that within the history of modern civilization a more shocking disaster has not occurred than the destruction of the steamship Titanic, which recently went to the bottom with perhaps an unknown number of human beings. Whether or not the officers were either directly or indirectly at fault for the appalling loss of life on account of a lack of accompanying life boats will be the subject of a searching inquiry when the grief stricken world gets round to it. Periodically, however, disastrous accidents occur, use all the precaution those responsible will or may.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Mr. C. D. Hillman was the defendant in a civil action tried by a jury in the Superior Court last week. He was a witness in his own behalf and the opposing counsel on cross-examination asked him if he had recently been convicted of a crime. The court interposed an objection to the question and reprimanded the lawyer for asking it, claiming it was immaterial, incompetent and prejudicial. If the able judge was justified in "roasting" the lawyer, or in refusing to permit the question to be answered, I am probably the worst fooled alleged lawyer in Seattle.
Way back, hundreds of years ago, the rule was that a conviction could not be shown for the purpose of affecting the credibility of a witness, but the rule was later relaxed, which was recognized by Lord Eldon, and since his time, evidence of that character has been permissible, but, however, such conviction had to be shown, if objection was made, by the court's record of conviction. Discussing this matter Mr. Greenleaf in his work on evidence says:
"But where the inquiry relates to transactions comparatively recent, bearing directly upon the present character and moral principles of the witness, and therefore essential to the due estimation of his testimony by the jury, learned judges have of late been disposed to allow it."
I think this is now the universal rule in this country and England, but it seems that the law making body of the state of Washington desired a still further relaxation of the old rule and made the evidence in question competent and its introduction less difficult. I refer to Sections 38, page 900, of the session laws of 1909. I quote the section in full:
"Every person convicted of a crime shall be a competent witness in any civil or criminal proceeding, but his conviction may be proved for the purpose of affecting the weight of his testimony, either by the record thereof, or a copy of such record duly authenticated by the legal custodian thereof, or by other competent evidence, or by his cross-examination, upon which he shall answer any proper question relevant to that inquiry, and the party cross-examining shall not be concluded by his answer thereto."
It may be urged that this section of the criminal code does not apply to civil procedure on account of the title to the act, but our statutes provide that the rules in civil and criminal evidence shall be the same, except in some cases in wiich they are impracticable. The evidence referred to is not within the rules of impracticability.
I once expressed my astonishment to Judge Osborn because a certain lawyer failed in asking the usual and proper impeaching question, the attorney being one of experience and good reputation. Judge Osborn said to me:
"The greatest defect in knowledge on the part of lawyers is the lack of knowing the rules of evidence."
I have thought of what that able jurist said to me a thousand times, and have verified its truth. The lawyer, God knows, has a

hard time of it in the average court, and while it becomes necessary to call them down occasionally, the courts should be awful certain that the lawyer is to blame before doing so. This reminds me, that not so very long ago, I was "bawled out" before a jury for my pronunciation of the names of Wharton and Stille, the author of the work on Medical Jurisprudence. The "e" in Stille has a dash over it which gives that letter the sound of "a." The judge, in his wisdom told me before the jury and the people present, that the correct pronunciation was "Wharton and Stiles." I had owned and used the work for twenty years—so had the judge.
There is a certain proneness in youth to expose that part of the body which men of age, wisdom and experience seek to conceal, but it seems to me that such indiscretions in judges advanced in years are inexcusable.
MEDICAL SCIENCE NOTES
Gas bacilli caused the death of Dr. Wilson, an instructor at Harvard medical school. He was inoculated two months ago and died a martyr to his profession. The bacilli producing inflammation of the intestines too severe to admit of an operation. The late Lord Lister, of London, who discovered the antiseptic system for the treatment of surgery, left an estate amounting to $3,300,000. A large part of it he left to medical institutions.
Miss May Robertson, aged 21, is the first woman stage driver in the United States. Her run is from Meeker to Buford, Col., a distance of thirty miles, and she makes the trip daily except Sunday, carrying mail and passengers. Fishing in China is easy as the natives tie a fishline to the leg of a trained duck, which is located over the fishing beds. When the duck feels a tug, it paddles ashore, dragging the fish with him. Nine ducks of this variety have recently been imported into this country and are owned by a Minnesota man.
In Lipsic, Prof. Erwin Payr, of the Lipsic University, planted a piece of the thyroid gland of a healthy born child into the liver of an imbecile child, the latter immediately improving and resulting in a complete cure.
Prof. Svante Arrhenins, the noted physicist of Stockholm, has demonstrated the marvelous impetus which can be given to the growth and mental development of growing children by the use of high frequency, alternating electrical current. His experiments are highly significant of one of the most important advances in twentieth century medicine.
Horses, reindeer, cows, goats, camels and even snakes, together with many other animals are used by medical science in the production of serums for the prevention of epidemic diseases, and recently a French physician has added ducks to the list, the serum from which he uses against hay fever and asthma. The fifteenth International Congress on Hygiene and Demography at Washington shows that the lives of 500,000 children
were saved in the United States alone by the use of antitoxin during the past ten years.
Dr. Sargent, physical culture expert of Harvard, says that there is nothing superior to ordinary housework to develop perfection in the female figure.
Sir Joseph Thompson, a distinguished scientist of the day, has had the Order of Merit recently conferred upon him by King George V. He has a world-wide reputation in his profession, attained by his important researches into the problem of the constitution of matter.
It is not generally known that Emile Olliver, the famous minister of Napoleon III, is still alive. He was known as "the man with the light heart," and at 87 years of age is as debonair as ever.
A new disease has been announced by Professor Bernhard of Berlin. He calls it "pension hysteria," and attributes its development to the pension legislation in which Germany is a pioneer. A succesful production of "The Merry Wives of Windows" was given at the Imperial Theatre in Japan recently. It was performed by Japanese and in that language, but the costumes and scenes were Europeon.
The Salvation Army of Middletown, Conn., has received a check from a life convict in the state prison. The check represents the earnings of the prisoner's spare time. Isaac Guggenheim has consented to become trustee and treasurer of a fund that is being raised for the relief of aviators and their heirs, under the Aeronautical Society.
It took brave men to give up an opportunity to live that others might not die, but that's what the noble fellows on the ill-fated Titanic did. May the good God bless them in the great world beyond.
Uncle Sam's polite note to Mexico may have been very polite in Washington City, but the Mexicans did not so interpret it in putting it into Spanish.
Tennessee has a Republican United States Senator, which is due to the death of Senator Taylor and the state having a Republican governor.
Giant American eagles, some measuring seven feet from tip to tip, are exterminating the wild animals that inhabit the California Coast near Santa Barbara. The wild boar and fox are said to be now nearly extinct. The most curious lake in the world is said to exist in the center of Kildine Island in the North Sea. The surface of the water is fresh, but deep down the water is salt and
