CHORUS 'Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 3. And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore, 'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country they'd leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution; No refuge could save the hireling \and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. CHORUS. And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave, 4. Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand. Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land, Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC. 1 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Glory! glory hallelujah! His soul is marching on. Glory! glory hallelujah! His soul is marching on. 2 I have seen Him in the watch-fire of a hundred circling camps, They have builted Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. 3 I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: "As ye deal with my contenders, so with you my grace shall deal:" Let the Hero, born of woman crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on. 4 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on. Chorus— 5 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me; As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on. Chorus— SMILE AND HUSTLE. Smile and the world smiles with you, "Knock" and you go it alone: For the cheerful grin Will let you in Where the "kicker" is never known. Smile and the world smiles with you, "Knock" and you go it alone: For the cheerful grin Will let you in Where the "kicker" is never known. GROWL, and the way looks dreary, Laugh and the path is bright: For a welcome smile Brings sunshine, while A frown shuts out the light. SIGH, and you "rake in" nothing, Work, and the prize is won: For the nervy man With backbone can By nothing be outdone. HUSTLE and fortune awaits you, Shirk and defeat is sure: For there's no chance Of deliverance For the chap who can't endure. SING, and the world's harmonious, Grumble, and things go wrong: And all the time You are out of rhyme With the busy, hustling throng. KICK, and there's trouble brewing, Whistle, and life is gay: And the world's in tune Like a day in June, And the clouds all melt away. —Dedicated to the Bolter --- --- Chorus— [Image of a man with a mustache and glasses, wearing a suit and tie, looking serious and contemplative.

The plan embraces a proposal to raise a million dollars for endowment and is expected to be accomplished during the year. It is to be an interdenominational training school for men and women of the various new professions which have arisen during the past fifty years in Christian service and philanthropy, and will be the only one of the kind in the world. Religious journals hail with enthusiasm the plans. Mathematicians use to consider that their subject-matter was the only one of which we could be absolutely certain, and that experiment proved other things to an approximation only. They would say that two and two make four, and that the angles of a triangle equal two right angles, because they were truths of mathematics and not experimental. Now Dr. Alfred Whitehead of Cambridge tells us that the mathematician no longer flatters himself that his propositions are or can be known to him or any other human being, as true, and that instead he contents himself with aiming at the correct or the consistent. Thus will be seen the difference from the spirit of former times. Sir William Ramay, the eminent English chemist and president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, suggests that coal be not mined but burned in the seam as it lies, the heat being used to generate power which may be transmitted electrically where used. In this way electricity would be available for lighting and heating (including domestic heating), the ralways would be worked by electricity, and the only fuel required would be oil for ships. The idea of educators that children should not be crammed in their first year, and that they develop best gradually, has received some severe shocks recently by the publication far and wide of examples of remarkable intelligence in children who had been taught book knowledge from their tenderest age. For instance, we are told of an eight-year-old girl in Palo Alto, Cal., who can carry on a conversation in ten languages, while in five she can think as well as talk. She is described as a bright, healthy child, who scanned Virgil when only a year old. Similar accounts are told of other children who are prodigies in mathematics and other advanced subjects. Many papers all over the country commented upon the cases, and teachers were querying whether all teaching methods should be revised, when Prof. M. V. O'Shea, of the Wisconsin University attempted to learn the facts. He found, when he was able to study the cases, that where the children were abnormally apt in a certain line, they showed a most abnormal deficiency in other directions. A chain of wireless stations for the British government to encircle the globe is soon to become a fact. That government having formally notified the Marconi company of the acceptance of their terms for erecting all the long-distance stations required for the wireless scheme which was decided upon last June. Stations will be established at London, Egypt, Aden, Bangalore, Pretoria and Singapore, and represent only the beginning of the system which will be carried THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN An influential military writer of Germany is authority for the statement that that country must win her place as a world power through a warfare.

It is a problem play and was written by Bayard Veiller, a former Seattle newspaper man and meets with its first appearance here. "The Primrose Path" treats of the old story, of a woman's sacrifice for a man she loves. The play is daring in theme, but the subject is handled delicately by the author, and it tells a story that will be much talked about. It is full of strong, gripping scenes, but a lot of splendid comedy runs through the play. AT THE ORPHEUM NEXT WEEK.

Friday, May 10, 1912 GOVERNORS ON RECALL OF JUDGES That the reader of The Seattle Republican might to an extent feel the public pulse on the much discussed question, The Recall of Judges, letters of inquiry were sent to the governors of the various states of the United States of America for their personal opinion, and the quotations below will show how those who replied feel as to the recall of judges. My dear Sir: I favor the recall generally and I would make it first applicable to the judiciary. There is the kind of judge who decides upon the law and the facts, who doesn't know the litigants, who cares not for their antecedents, and who makes no investigation aside from that of the matter brought out in the open forum. There is another kind of judge. There is the judge who ever is listening for the rustle of power, who looks, as between his litigants, to see which has the most influence, and who can give to him the most advantage on a decision that may be rendered. The first kind of judge need not fear the recall. The second kind of judge ought to be recalled. The recall will make no weak judge weaker. It will make no strong judge less strong. It menaces just one kind of judge, the corrupt judge, and he ought to be menaced. Today our friends on the other side say, "You have sense enough now to elect a judge. Six years from now. when his term expires, you will have sense enough to re-elect him or reject him and to pass upon his record. But one year, two years, three years, or four years from now you haven't sense enough to pass upon his qualifications and vote concerning his recall." Judges, in this country, not only interpret the law, but today they admittedly make law; and if one particular branch of government that makes the law should be subject to the recall, any other particular branch of the government that makes the law ought to be subject to the recall also. Dear Sir: I believe judges should be elected for a fixed term, and that the people, through their bar association, should use such judgment that they would not mix the judiciary with the ordinary political office. I think the plan adopted in the cities of Chicago and Philadelphia has worked out well. I am a Progressive Republican and I believe in reform legislation—direct primary, etc. I should want to study the recall question very carefully before I expressed an opinion about it, for I have not seen its operation sufficiently for me to make up my mind with reference to it. My dear Sir: In connection therewith, I have to say that as yet I am not convinced that the application of the recall to the judiciary is a logical procedure in the interest of the advancement of the administration of justice. The judicial element of government, while certainly responsible to the people, should, nevertheless, be maintained in the most secure and independnt position possible, carefully guarded and protected from any and all hasty or unwise acts of the people, whose antagonistic attitude toward the court may be only the result of the simple fact that the judge's decision is opposed and contrary to their own wish, idea or desire. I believe, and the position seems to be sustained, that more of the injustice wrought in the courts is due to lax and dilatory methods of procedure than to decisions actually wrongful or in error. It appears to me that the Recall of Judges might easily become a two-edged sword, effective not only to the better element of our citizenship in censure and correction of those judges whose decisions are not in the interest of justice, thereby proving a positive means of good, but also to our more lawless citizens who, to secure their own ends, might cause the recall to operate against even wise GOVERNOR That the reader of The Seattle Judges, letters of inquiry were sent and the quotations below will show STATE OF CALIFORNIA R.

VESSEY Yours truly, O. B. COLQUITT, Governor. STATE OF OREGON. Very sincerely, OSWALD WEST Yours truly, AUGUSTUS E. WILSON, Governor of Kentucky. STATE OF FLORIDA Very truly yours, ALBERT W. GILCHRIST, Governor I do not favor the recall of judges. Strong reasons against it were given by President Taft in his veto message on the subject, and I deem it unnecessary to reiterate, as I might, much that he has said. In my opinion, judges should always be appointed by the chief executive of the government, and for long terms, if not for good behavior. The judiciary, under our system of government, has greater power than ever belonged before to the judiciary of any country, or any age. The most extreme care, therefore, should be exercised in their selection. A single magistrate, like a governor or president, can exercise such care better than a nominating convention, or a direct primary. If all our judges were elected in such fashion, I think there would be little cry from those representing the interests of the community at large for any system of judicial recall. Dear Sir. Replying to your inquiry of the 4th inst., I would say I am opposed to the recall of judges, as the phrase is popularly understood, both as an institution in itself and as an adjunct to the initiative and referendum. "I enthusiastically favor the recall of judges and will do everything within my official power to have the legislature submit a constitutional amendment to the people favoring the recall of judges." "I believe in the initiative, referendum and recall, but I do not think their inauguration and application will directly or of a necessity quickly cure fundamental evils. The initiative is simply an extension of indisputable right of petiton. The referendum is a formal acknowledgement of the sovereign right and power of the people with legal machinery for their expression. The recall gives to the masses the right, now jealously guarded by the individual, of discharging unfaithful servants at irregular interevals. "Elections are a regular form of the recall in use today. If the masses can be intrusted with the recall at regular intervals, there is no reason why they may not exercise that function at any time. "It has been argued that the people need specialists in law, on the bench, in medicine, and elsewhere. Granting this, there is no reason why they should not be permitted to easily and at all times say who these specialists shall be, just as the individual may choose his family physician and dispense with his services when he regards them as unsatisfactory." It is claimed by some that we cannot secure a proper measure of progress in the enactment of necessary laws for the correction of existing evils and abuses until we make the courts more responsive to the people. There are those who claim that we are a court ridden nation; that the judiciary has become the dominant and the controlling department of government, which defeats the work of legislatures and executives by holding unconstitutional the acts of the one and by nullifying the acts of the other; that our process of impeachment is so cumbersome and ineffective that it gives to a judge, particularly if he enjoys a life tenure of office, a practical immunity for wrong-doing, for prejudiced or unfair decisions, and that the result has been a judicial autocracy which is accustomed to usurp powers not conferred and exert them in an unfair and, sometimes, in a tyrannical manner. I am of the opinion that the lawyers in this country have it in their power to bring about conditions which will defeat this public demand for subjecting the decisions of our courts to popular review by making our judges subject to removal by reason of public disapproval. I believe it is within the power of the members of our 12 Dear Sir: I do not favor it were given by H and I deem it unn has said. In my opinion executive of the g behavior.

STATE OF RHODE ISLAND STATE OF ARIZONA STATE OF MICHIGAN. STATE OF MISSUORI profession to save the American people from this unwise and extreme method of government. I believe it would prove to be an unsatisfactory and dangerous provision of our Constitution if judges were compelled to submit to the prejudice of a majority the correctness of their decisions upon questions of law and of fact. A man of integrity and of courage upon the bench can view with complacency the passions of the hour, as well as unjust criticism for an unpopular decision. But if you make his tenure of office dependent upon his continuing popularity with a majority of the voters who elected him, then do you strike at the very foundation of our judicial system. But the members of our profession cannot save the American people from this mistaken and unwise proposition by arguments as to its theoretical inadvisability. The way to defeat this propaganda for the recall of judges is to do that which will remove the cause of dissatisfaction with our courts. If the members of the legal profession exercised a more controlling influence through a disregard of political considerations in the selection of our judges; if they should take an effective initiative in bringing about reforms in judicial procedure, so as to make it more prompt, effective and decisive and thus prevent miscarriages of justice on account of unimportant technicalities; in short, if they should do those things which would make our courts a system for the administration of justice, free from rules of practice and procedure which often make for injustice and always for delay; if they enforced, through a courageous and discriminating criticism, a higher standard of judicial integrity and a proper regard for public preties, then, I am satisfied, that the reasons upon which rest the propaganda for this modern fallacy—the recall of judges—would no longer exist. That it does exist in such a pronounced and aggressive form throughout the entire country amounts to a vote of lack of confidence not only in our courts, but also in our profession. It expresses the public dissatisfaction with a system in the administration of justice which deals as often with the form as it does with the substance, and which frequently places the method above the right in the final decision of cases. It expresses a public dissatisfaction with the methods heretofore followed in the selection and the appointment of judges—methods which have often made political service a test of one's ability to secure preferment, or the influence of special interests the basis upon which judicial appointments have been made. Dear Sir: I am decidedly opposed, not only to the recall of judges, but to the recall of executive and legislative officials as well. The recall is opposed to our ideas of government as practiced for the last hundred and thirty-five years. It is as impossible to have a government entirely removed from its representative features, as it is to conduct the affairs of a great corporation, with its stockholders numbering thousands of people scattered over the United States, without a board of directors, and a centralized management. The theory of the recall is a beautiful one, and appeals forcibly to the idealist and the unthinking person; but like most theories born of an imaginative mind, it fails to take into consideration the imperfections, inequalities and limitations of the human family. It is fashioned upon the idea that all men are honest and will do what is right in government. This is not true of this generation; has been true of no generation in the history of the past, and will likely not be true for many generations yet to come. The recall may be made to work with some degree of success and advantage in small communities, but I don't believe it will ever be made to work successfully in the large cities; it is thoroughly impracticable in state affairs and wholly impossible in national affairs. Again I am opposed to the recall for the reason that it puts the administration of government into the hands of the minority, rather than the majority. The man who has been elected to office can usually with certainty count upon his friends upholding his hands, and excusing his mistakes, if he makes any, and it is only the minority who opposed his election in the first instance who are seeking an opportunity for his undoing in the way of the recall, and who would be constantly on the alert for an excuse to invoke the same. Realizing this and desiring to avoid the unpleasantness and the possible disgrace of the recall, the average official will be constantly trying to administer affairs under his charge in a way that will please these dissatisfied citizens, who, as stated, are in the minority, to the consequent neglect and hurt of the majority.

"I am glad to know," he said, "that there is now a profound effort to study where it is that we can shorten litigation so that delay won't make just judgment unjust." Referring to the French code, the president said that there, as with us, there was a "tendency to assume that litigation were made for the courts and the exercise of the refinement of reason rather than vice versa. "There is much the same tendency there as with us," he continued, "to keep the antagonists pawing in the vestibule of justice. We have not yet reached the secret of promoting real justice, but I am glad to know there is a movement the world around to secure reform. Mr. H. R. Cayton. My dear Sir: I do not favor the recall of judges, but on the other hand favor a judicial commission for the appointment of judges and a judicial court of impeachment for the trial of judges. I would increase the grounds of qualification for a man who occupies a seat on the bench and I would increase the number of gorunds for impeachment. In my opinion, it would be wise to appoint for a definite period and with increased qualifications and responsibilities increase their salaries. This is a better way and would preserve the judiciary. My dear Sir: Replying to your letter of the 20th, in which you ask me whether or not I favor the recall of judges, and what good or bad effect the right of recall would have upon the judiciary, I beg leave to answer most emphatically in the negative to the first question, and to say that I can see but slight good resulting from such right, while I can see positively much that would be harmful. Our judges should be protected in their position as an independent and conservative factor in maintaining the government. The more stress that there may be brought upon them, the more the yshould be free from consequences of any one's displeasure as to their judicial acts. To be able to recall a judge because he does not meet a popular wish is to be able to legalize mob law. The very day when the community may seem bent upon a wrongful act, our judges should be the last remaining conservative force to stop us and set us right. I believe in using every care in the election of judges, but once the man is put in office, let him enforce the law, and let the citizens abide by his decisions. Mighty few mistakes would be made in the selection of judges if that selection could be removed from politics, and where mistakes did creep in, the ordinary protection now existing to the man who goes to law is ample protection against the acts of any unjust judge. I am in favor of the recall of judges. Judges are invariably elevated from the ranks of the law profession to the bench. Lawyers are no less liable to err, and are no less human than the men of other professions. We seldom find a lawyer whose ethics will prevent his accepting work from a client who is able to pay a good fee, even though he absolutely knows the case he is defending to be without right or justice. The people have seen so much of this that they have grown complacent and they accept from this profession what they would not accept from the newspaper profession, the preacher's profession or the doctor's profession. It is a fact that the most successful lawyers are invariably employed to combat those cases in which the most property is involved, or where crime is most in evidence. It is also a fact that these lawyers are usually elevated to the judge's bench, and though it is creditable to the majority of judges that added responsibility usually brings with it a broader conception of their duty, than a mere pleader, and most of our judges are not influenced by former surronudings, though there are many cases in which they are. The elevating of a man to the bench does not always change the character of the man. Friday, May 10, 1912. THE SEATTL I am opposed to it for the further reason that it will make still greater cowards of public officials. The demand of the American people at this time is for courageous public servants who are willing to face adverse criticism in their efforts to serve the masses. Too many of our public officials spend their time in an effort to placate their enemies and strengthen themselves in a political way, rather than in the furtherance of their duties. I am opposed to the recall for the reason that at this time in most states we have frequent elections, and the people can rid themselves of incompetent and dishonest officials, and any mistakes made in the election of officials they have their remedy in the courts. If provisions have not been adequately made for removals through the courts, there is nothing in the constitutions of our states that will prohibit the most liberal laws along this line. I believe that the recall would have a tendency to still further weaken the interest that the average man takes in the election of public officials. It is an undeniable fact that at the present time not one man in ten knows anything about all of the men for whom he votes. If the recall was in effect he would excuse himself still further from finding out anything of the character of the man aspiring to office, and would satisfy his conscience with the unction that "if I make a mistake and elect an incompetent or dishonest official today, I can recall him tomorrow." Again I am opposed to the recall for the reason that it would necessitate more elections than we now have, consequently keeping the state affairs in an unsettled state, to the great detriment of the people. I will state further that I believe there is as much reason for invoking the recall of judges as there is for executive or legislative officials. To me the three branches of government are of equal importance, and each should stand upon a plane as high as the other. There is no reason why we should place our judicial officials upon a pedestal, above that of legislative or executive officials. It should be the aim of every sworn official, no matter in what department of government he serves, to discharge his duties honestly and fearlessly, and no man who is unwilling to do this has any right to hold any office, legislative, judicial or executive. In conclusion I will state that I am a Democrat, thoroughly fixed in my political principles and ideas; that I believe the doctrines taught by the founders of my party are correct, and when put into operation in governmental affairs will bring the greatest good to the greatest number of people. The recall is at war with every true Democratic doctrine; is socialistic and revolutionary in its tendency, and its present seeming popularity can only be accounted for by the fact that the whole world, business and political, seems to be in a state of unrest and agitation. When the storm of political discussion and unrest has passed away, and calm and sober judgment returns, the recall will be looked upon as one of the impossible phases of government which the quacks in state affairs are prodigal in proposing. LEE CRUCE, Governor of Oklahoma. TAFT TALKS. President Taft before the New York Bar Association (Associated Press) expressed himself as follows on the recall of judges: "We do not believe that all people are fitted for popular government," he said. "Some of us don't dare say so, but I do, and the question whether a people is fitted for popular self-government depends upon the restraint that the minority can place upon the majority to see that justice is done. "We of the bar are called upon to decide whether we are going to protect the institution of the judiciary and continue it independent of a majority during the time that it is deciding questions of law and justice. "The judicial recall—the words themselves are so inconsistent that I hate to utter them! Are we going to make our constitution a liquid thing so that a majority can flood the halls of justice, decide every action and override with popular passion and prejudice every principle of this government, the greatest God ever made? "You must bear in mind that this matter of judicial recall is being agitated the country over. that the men speaking for it are many. What I call your attention to is that it is necessary that good people like you shoul speak the truth that is in you in favor of courts and their independence and the restraints of the constitution that were imposed by the wisest ancestors any people ever had." In reference to the simplification of legal procedure, the president said he had a feeling that the bar and the bench "owed to 13 FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Seattle. Washington. M. A. MATTHEWS. TIMES PRINTING COMPANY OF SEATTLE H. R. Cavton. Respectfully JOSEPH BLETHEN President King County Press Association J. D. DEAN. BRITISH CONTEMPT FOR OUR COURTS. Some severe strictures on the procedure of American courts of law, especially in criminal cases, are made in the London Nation. The "recall" of an elected judge, or the recall of decisions, in order that the people may "recall legalism to justice," is, however, condemned. Mr. Roosevelt "takes hold of the tail, but no more than the tail, of a fruitful idea." The United States requires not so much a reform of judges, we are informed, but "a reformer of the Jeremy Bentham type, to restore common sense to its codes and simplicity to their administration." The Nation admits that "many American judges have spoken clearly and courageously against the abuses of the law." "Progressive papers and magazines" join in the crusade. "But of definite reformation, of any reasoned perception of how and where to begin, there is so far hardly a sign." So "the average American faces the stupenduous fact that American justice has broken down," especially in the trials for homicide, of which this writer says: "There are, indeed, few crimes of which an American can more safely be guilty. If he commits a murder, the odds are more than three to one against his ever being brought to trial; they are more than ten to one against his being sentenced to imprisonment; and, as has been said, they are more than eighty to one against his suffering the extreme penalty of the law. Those are the chances officially ascertained from official statistics, and they apply to the country as a whole and to all its people. But it need hardly be said that if the murderer is a white man the odds in his favor are very much above the statistical average, and very much below them if he is a Negro. Only one country in the world, Mexico, exceeds the American record of murders, a record that is proportionately five times as great in the United States as in Australia, more than fourteen times as great as in England and Wales, eight times as great as in Japan, ten times as great as in Canada, and about twenty-five times as great as in Germany." "The criminal procedure of America today is very much as ours was in the time of the Stuarts. It is hopelessly entangled in technicalities, and neglects justice and common sense to chase after an impossible infallibility of form. In a criminal case, as it is conducted across the Atlantic, it is not the prisoner in the dock, but the judge on the bench, who is really on trial. The counsel on both sies polish up a thousand little points of pleading and practice and evidence, and fire them off at the judge, who has to decide upon them offhand. If he falls into a single error, no matter how trivial or how far removed from the question of the guilt or innocence of the accused, the Appellate Court will order a new trial of the case almost automatically. It has been calculated that in 50 per cent of the cases brought under review in the Appellate Courts new trials are granted." If this is a government ruled by the people it should be so from president to constable. Through chosen representatives laws are enacted and it should not be in the province of hand picked officials to nullify the laws that private enterprises may be fostered. The right to declare unconstitutional, duly enacted laws, thereby entailing endless litigation, the burden of which falls upon the poor man, has been given to every judicial from justice of peace to supreme judge, until, instead of this being a representative republic, it is a judicial oligarchy. How can this be a government of the people, for the people and by the people, if the laws they 14 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, in and for the County of King. Notice to Creditors.

It has not been so many years since it was advocated, "Kings can do no wrong, kings are born and kings are made of superior clay." Every person with common intelligence now admits the fallacy of the allegation. Continue to give the judges the right to abrogate the laws, from which there is no resource, and soon it will be argued, judges are born and can do no wrong. If it is right to recall other officials judges should be no exceptions to the rule. They are no better, no worse. Yea, they are of the same clay as the tramp upon the highway and frequently far more culpable. The recall of judges properly safeguarded can not go amiss. Let one of the safeguards be, no vote shall be taken on the recall of a judge for six months after the recall petition has been duly filed and legally verified. For representatives to meet and enact laws at an enormous expense to the tax payers, and with every judge of proper jurisdiction permitted to abrogate those laws so far as his court is concerned, and your representative form of government pales into painful innocuous desuetude. If judges knew they would be recalled, if they misbehaved on the bench, there would be less talk of the recall of judges then than at the present time, when it can not be done, and few, if any, would ever be actually recalled. Judges may be impeached, as provided by the statutes, but they never are, or so seldom that it is looked upon as being impossible to impeach one, which leads to the conclusion that the power of recall is the only safety valve by which the people can regulate the judiciary of the land.

Power to govern comes from the people. Whether this power shall be used by them directly or through representatives is for the people to decide. As the judicial system in this country is one division of government, power, therefore, to recall judges belongs to the people. Where is authority to deny them the use of this power? Political liberty includes it. Election of judges subject to impeachment only has not in all cases proved entirely satisfactory. But nothing in the realm of public affairs is wholly satisfactory. Whether election of judges subject to recall will prove more satisfactory no one can foretell. Is not the change worthy of trial? Careful experiments and progress in legislation is as rational and valuable as in matters not governmental. A flexible system or framework of government with firm administration is best adapted to meet new conditions and to do so without abrupt changes or violence to secure reforms. The recall is as clear a political right as the right to elect. Officials elected subject to it have no complaint. Weaklings alone fear it. Why except the judiciary? It is especially urged that the judge protects the minority. Does not every official in legal theory protect or represent the minority as well as the majority? The recall, however, like a two-edged sword, should be used with caution. Mistakes and wrongs may be committed by majorities. We should unflinchingly hold all our rights but practice prudent restraint in the use of them.

Friday, May 10, 1912 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN TAFT TAFT AND ROOSEVELT. By Scott C. Bone. Why should the Republican party renominate William Howard Taft for president? Because he has earned a renomination. His has not been a spectacular administration, not a regime of preachment and promise, but four years of steady, constructive achievement. He has made just the sort of president Theodore Roosevelt said he would make—a worker, a builder, a clear-headed, fair-dealing, law-enforcing executive. He has builted where Rosevelt blazed the way. His task has been a heavy one, but stoutly undertaken and bravely accomplished in spite of handicap. Col. Roosevelt, in personal conversation, a few years ago, paid a tribute to his then Secretary of War in glowing words something like these: "Unlike other valuable men in public service, Taft invariably does his duty without thought of its effect upon his personal or political future. He is always dependable." Could higher tribute be paid to any man? And the Taft of whom Roosevelt thus spoke is the same Taft now subject to his attack. He is the same Taft eulogized by Roosevelt less than two years ago at Saratoga as our "able and upright President." He is the same Taft whose administration, including the tariff enactment, received the unqualified indorsement of the Roosevelt New York convention in 1910. He is the same Taft with whom Roosevelt kept up affectionate correspondence until a short twelve months ago. Why is Roosevelt opposing him now? Attempt to disguise it as he may, it is only because Roosevelt's ambition is unsatisfied and he would himself be President again. Is it a square deal? It is the unsquarest deal ever attempted in public life. If it succeed, it will be to the deep humiliation and everlasting shame of the Republican party. The campaign systematically carried on throughout Taft's administration to disparage and discredit him and now culminated in a vicious attempt to undo and destroy him represents reactionarism in its worst form. No true progressive can knowingly enlist in a movement so manifestly unscrupulous and insincere. Appraised at its best, it is only and adroit effort to turn an honest and wholesome sentiment in the land to selfish, self-seeking, reactionary and perilous ends. One of the leaders in the movement, Beaveridge, of Indiana, discloses the purpose of it all when he suggests that the country will be the better off by putting a president like Roosevelt in the White House to stay. Is the State of Washington ready for such a departure? If not, then it is high time for calm analysis of this Roosevelt propaganda and a patriotic rejection of it. 3 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Friday, May 10, 1912 ROOSEVELT (By A. G. McBride.) The recent elections held in the various states of the Union indicate that Theodore Roosevelt has lost but little of his popularity since he left the White House, and his opponents now concede that he has a good fighting chance for the Republican nomination. After his return from Africa, his defeat in New York by the machine politicians apparently gave him a setback, from which, however, he seems to have recovered, and with the people, he is now probably as popular as ever. The unwirtten law against a third term is a handicap, and under ordinary conditions would in itself be sufficient to defeat any aspirant, but President Taft's administration has been so vacillating and unsatisfactory that when compared with that of the former executive, the people want, and will have a change, and Roosevelt is the best thing in sight. The ex-president should be re-elected president of the United States, even if it is a third term and against the unwritten law. He should be elected because he is the only honest, fearless man who has held the office since Lincoln. I do not say this from information gained by reading the history of my country, but because I have lived through the various administrations. We have not had a president from Lincoln to Roosevelt that would permit the Panama canal to be dug and the transcontinental railroads were the corrupt influences behind he throne. It took fifty years to put a pure food bill through congress. He gave the American people warning concerning the Taft universal peace treaties, which if put in force, would have set aside the ancient policies of the country, or involved it in war. But above everything, he gave the moral law such a boost that the people took a better and brighter view of life, and one of the results was the direct primary and the dethronement of the ward heeler and political boss. The moral sentiment of the people improved by a large per cent during his term of office and it was his teaching and influence that brought about this change. In other words, he taught progressiveness and with it came better men and women and cleaner politics. If Roosevelt is anything, he is a patriot. He never minces words or talks he quit. He would correct past errors because he is not afraid to do so. He would probably stop trying to enforce the Sherman anti-trust law, which is a stupendous failure. If Roosevelt is elected he will be a better president than he was during the seven years he held the office, because he is older, and will profit by past mistakes. Then, Roosevelt is a good judge of men. Like Louis the XIV of France, he possesses the genius of discovering genius in others. Do you think if he had been president for the past four years, we would have such an outfit of United States Supreme Court judges? I don't. If Roosevelt is anything, he is a patriot. He never minces words or takes diplomatically to gain votes or popularity. He is always Roosevelt, and what he says and does, is honestly intended to benefit the people he represents. He believes in progrssion, and when in this rapid advancing age a principle of government becomes ineffective, he believes in setting it aside. Excelsior, is his motto. We will always have drones, reactionaries and those who will claim that everything is all right, but the office of President is no place for such a man. i R THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Friday, May 10, 1912. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS REPUBLICANS ASSEMBLE AGAIN, —— vise ways and means to bring success t¢ Quadrenially the Republicans of the state meet in convention to play their part in the nomination of a candidate to make the race for the presidency of the United States, and to that end, here we are. This is not a convention of isms and factions, an in- coherent mass of howling humanity without form or fashion, but a Republican conven- tion, whose highest hope and ambition is or should be the success of the Republican par- ty from President to constable, and that, too, regardless of from what faction, if such there be, the nominees may hail. Many of such meets as this convention have already been held in the state of Washington and it ig hoped many more will be held, and there will be, providing party pride prevails among the delegates over personal aggrandizement. The country still needs the cool calculating hand of the Republican party on the wheel of the ship of state, and if the delegates to this convention are wise and patriotic they will do nothing to tear it therefrom. Regardless of the man for whom a majority of the chosen representatives of the voters of Washington endorse at this convention let not only the majority, but likewise the min- ority, give him their united support. In recent years many isms and dissentions have arisen within the ranks of the Republican party and so pronounced have they become that, unless the party leaders make haste slowly and use every party precaution in arriving at a final conclusion, the arch ene- my of Republicanism, which is always camp- ing on its trail, the Democratic party, will drive the party from power, and, perhaps, place in the presidential chair a man from the South, who still mourns for the ‘‘lost eause.’’ Rekindle the fires of patriotism within you, if for any reason they have died down, from the soul-inspiring national airs, the words for which are found on the front page hereof, and let each do his or her duty as Republicans and not as faddists and fac- tionalists. Q DANIEL LANDON. , Ss? 5 V q. D. H. Cox, Tn the state of Washington, David H. Cox, who for the past four years has been a mem- ber of the state senate, where he played a conspicuous part in its deliberations, is truly in the public eye. He is as well known in commercial circles as in political, and per- haps even better. He is likewise well and favorably known in religious circles and he is at this time a delegate to the general con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is now in session at Minneapolis, Min- nesota. Mr, Cox is an extensive as well as successful farmer of eastern Washington. On the whole it would be hard to find a man in the entire state of Washington with a wider scope of experience, both with men and affairs, than D. H. Cox, and to whatever position of political or civic preferment he may in the future be selected to fill by his fellow citizens, he will do so with honor to himself and credit to those who select him. David H. Cox will be a candidate for state treasurer on the Republican ticket next September and the splendid record he has made in whatever he has in the past engaged will do much toward bringing success to his efforts. Whether one be a progressive, a stand- patter or just a Republican matters not, if his or her efforts are along lines for a gen- eral uplift of humanity. If you know W. TH, Paulhamus and have not had your mind poisoned against him on account of personal differences you can but admit that he is always found trying to do something that will improve the condition of man, and that too without regard to race, ereed or color. Early in life believing that greater financial suecess would attend his labors by casting his lot on a farm he gave up a luerative court house position and moved on a farm near Sumner and the whole state and even other states now know that Farmer Paul- hamus of Sumner is a most brilliant success as a farmer. He was not satisfied with suc- cess for himself, and so he set about to de- vise ways and means to bring success to other farms. He organized an association among the farmers of that community for the successful handling of their fruits and vegetables, which has been so successful that his memory will be revered by the children’s children of those farmers. As a member of the state senate he worked just as zealously for the community’s good as he did for the farmers, which gained for him the confidence of his opponents as well as his co-workers. W. H. Paulhamus will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for lieutenant-gov- ernor next September, and he does not doubt but that he will get more votes than will the other two avowed candidates for the same nomination combined. Everybody is beginning to know Dan Lan- don and he has become more generally known since he identified himself with the Roosevelt campaign in the state of Washing- ton than ever before. In his work he pulls strong and sturdy, and being an untiring worker, success has crowned his efforts. He will go to the Aberdeen convention next ‘Wednesday with the firm conviction that he has the situation well in hand and so well that the Taft forces will have no excuse to hold a rump convention. Mr. Landon is a member of the state senate and has two years yet to serve. It is said he has his eye on congress and will be a candidate for its honors two years from now. To do anything better than the other fel- low always gives the doer a most decided advantage over the other fellow. It is the coneensus of opinion that John H. Schively, state insurance commissioner, is one of the best, if not the very best, campaigners in the state of Washington, which, it is argued, will go a long ways toward making his own suecessor. Though he is a most convincing campaigner in his own behalf, yet it can not be denied that in the conduct of the office he has been a most wonderful success. He has not only conducted the office with ef- ri A i bo ~ JOHN H, SCHIVELY. : ; PE ene fi ee ee aoe F 3 ce ee P ee ee > 7 : ¢ aa : Bee F wr a. as Bee ee i, a hh 4 % % PRR a Boe a8 8 ee z eas prep ast es ac ‘ ~—e OR rok a ae OL Se ee aes ‘eo : “an i oo SCR cre Boal ae Ke oe oe ae < PP Nae tie te — ee wae uel ae ' anc.

John Henry Schive- ly will be a candidate to succeed himself, and his friends declare he is already as good as nominated and elected. Henry B. Dewey won fame as a pedagogue, as a professor, as a city and county super- intendent and lastly as state superintendent of public instruction, and now hopes to win gerater fame as representative in congress from Washington. With a personal ac- quaintance extending into every county, community and hamlet of the state, Henry B. Dewey should make one of the most popu- lar candidates that enters the race for one of the Republican nominations for repre- sentative.

E. H. James Elliott, an Afro-American, died a short time since at Binghamton, N. Y., aged 101 years. He was a slave in South Carolina when the Civil war broke out and escaped by the "underground railway." He learned to read and write at the age of sixty. William C. Matthews, a prominent colored lawyer of Boston, has just been appointed Assistant United States District Attorney at that city. He is a graduate of Harvard and Boston University Law School, and the most famous baseball player of Andover. William A. Durant is a full-blooded Indian, and is speaker of the House of the Oklahoma legislature. He is highly cultured and intelligent and frequently presides over that body in full Indian costume. Capt. H. Ruser has been at sea from a lad of fifteen, and today is commander of one of the largest ships in the world, the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, of the Hamburg-American line. This is a tribute to one of the most popular captains of the day and age. Mrs. Rodney Smith, wife of Gypsy Smith, the evangelist, has accompanied her husband continuously on all his wanderings for the past five years. She is an Englishwoman whom Mr. Smith met in the course of Salvation army work. Anna B. Hooper is the nine-year-old daughter of the governor of Tennessee, and a pronounced advocate of woman suffrage. Her opinions are original, as neither her father, mother nor two brothers are advocates of the cause. She says: "By the time I am grown up, the women in Tennessee will be voting." Dr. Lem G. Broughton was recently called from the Baptist Tabernacle, Atlanta, Ga., to Christ Church, London. He is a well known evangelist, and believes in the salvation of the body as well as the soul, and holds that the church ought not to turn over the care of the sick to any outside institution. General Booth, the founder of the Salvation army, at eighty-three, still retains the indomitable spirit which has served to make his life work such a wonderful success. He expects to undergo an operation which will probably restore his sight, as he is nearly blind from a cataract. Reginald Wright Kauffman is writing a series of articles for an Eastern journal which should tend to rouse parents and guardians to the conditions and danger that assail the young. They do not give detail of vice, but they do show how easy it is to be led astray. James B. Clarke, a Negro junior student at Cornell University, was recently awarded the highest honor in the annual competition in French essay writing and translation held under the auspices of the French professors in America. Miss Lucille Pugh, of North Carolina, is the first woman counsel ever seen in New York at a murder trial when she appeared in court to defend Leroy Poindexter, a Negro accused of shooting a white man. Andrew Carnegie has donated $12,000 for a library building for the colored people of Savannah, Georgia. BOMANJUAS H. W. 6 Myra Lee, aged twenty-two, is the first Chinese girl to register in America as a voter. She resides in Los Angeles and is a graduate of the high school there, specializing in higher literature. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who recently resigned as chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture, supports Taft and says he hopes that he will be re-elected President. Adda F. Howle, of Elm Grove, Mich., has been appointed member-at-large to the state board of agriculture. She is the first woman in Michigan to receive such an honor. Dr. P. P. Claxon, United States commissioner of education, says, "that the most important problem in education today is that of the country school where 65 per cent of the children of the United States receive their education." Violet Oakley, a New York artist, is to take up the unfinished work of the late Edwin Abbey on the paintings of the Pennsylvania capitol. That she is not a poor substitute is shown by the fact that she is to receive the same amount promised the deceased—a rate of $50 per foot. Mary Taft Holtz, twelve years of age, has received the prize offered by the Woman's Political Union, for the best answer of 300 words to the question, "Why am I a suffragist?" R. T. Crane, who made a severe arraignment of our colleges and universities for the drinking habit, did not live to see the vote of Cornell students on the temperance THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT question. Sixty-five per cent favored "dry" dinners and "dry" smokers. Mr. Crane based his conclusion on the habits of a minority. Benjamin Guggenheim, one of the victims of the Titanic disaster, left a fortune estimated at $92,000,000. Public charities are to receive $80,000 and relatives bequests of several hundred thousand dollars. Robert E. Dallard, prominent in Grand Army circles, died in California, aged seventy years, last Sunday. He was an officer under General Grant during the Civil war and later was appointed attorney-general of Dakota. Blanche Stuart Scott, the young woman who has acquired such distinction as a daring aviator, drove her automobile from New York to San Francisco two years ago. She chafes very much under the flying restraints placed upon her on account of her sex. Homer Davenport, the noted cartoonist, died last week of pneumonia in New York. His cartoons of Mark Hanna in the dollarmark suits will be handed down to posterity, being one of many that aided in gaining him fame. He was a native of Oregon, where where he made his home. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the instigator of the recent Chinese revolution, and one of China's foremost progressives, is authority for the statement that China is to adopt Socialism, and that the complete pacification of that country is near at hand. Friday, May 10, 1912 STATE NEWS JEWB IN GENERAL THOMAS P. REVELLE. Who has worked unceasingly to elect a Roosevelt delegation from the state of Washington, will be one of the central figures in the Aberdeen convention next Wednesday. He goes to the convention thoroughly satisfied with the work he has done and thoroughly convinced that the Roosevelt forces have the Taft forces beaten by a safe majority though all the contesting delegations be given to the Taft forces. Mr. Revelle will again meet Representative Will E. Humphrey in the political arena and cross swords for the representative nomination for congress, and being the only Progressive in the field, declares he is sure to win. Senator Wesley L. Jones has introduced a bill appropriating $1,600,000 for constructing works to irrigate 120,000 acres of land on the Yakima Indian reservation. The laying of the last stone in the big drydock at the Puget Sound navy yard was celebrated last Saturday and was witnessed by over 400 prominent people of this section of the country. Spelling bees are the rage in the state of Washington this spring. If there are many words of Indian origin given out, we would suggest that the tenderfoot will do well to keep out of the game. A Yakima man has sent an application for a patent for an automatic regulator cut-off and safety valve for a power spraying pump, It is the only thing of its kind, and many who are competent to judge, declare that it fulfills the claims made for it. Over 700,000 pounds of shad are caught every year on the Columbia river and the canning of it is increasing. Shad is an excellent fish, cheaper than salmon, and as soon as the consumer becomes acquainted with the fact there will be greater demand for it.

The Puget Sound Seine Fishermen's Association, composed of 200 power fishing boat owners, has inaugurated a movement to have the government equip the lightships at the entrance of the Straits of Fuca with wireless. The commissioners of King county have appropriated $1,500 with which to get a herd of Montana elk and bring them to this district. Ten thousand yellow pine slips have been sent from Wind River, Wash., to the local forest office at Medford, Ore., and are being planted in the National forest reserve of Crater Lake. The state public service commission has entered a formal order holding that the differential rate on logs between less and more than ten carloads should not exceed ten cents. Several hundred men employed in sawmills and logging camps in Snohomish county have struck in response to an appeal of the I. W. W.'s. More wages are demanded, some getting as low as $1.60 per day. The O.-W. R. & N. Co. and the Milwaukee railroad have purchased property in Spo- 7 kane for a union depot. The deal approximates $1,250,000. Tacoma is to have an automobile race meet in July. There will be four road races from 100 to 250 miles long. The bonding company which wrote the bond for Joseph M. Snow, ex-state highway commissioner, has paid to the state treasurer $2,142 with interest to reimburse the state for the money which Snow failed to account for on leaving office. A large increase in the output of the Puyallup Fruit Growers' Association cannery at that place is expected this season. An order for 1,000,000 cans ranging from two to ten gallons has been ordered, that number covering only the products sold to date. Tahola III, chief of the Quinault tribe near Hoquiam, who recently returned from a trip to Washington, D. C., where he attended a council of twenty-four tribes of Indians, prophesies that Champ Clark will be the next "Great White Father" of the nation. King county has asked for bids on $150,000 worth of hard surfaced roads to be constructed the coming summer. This amount is the appropriation for the year for new roads and will probably cover all new work that will be undertaken. The Washington annual state Sunday school convention meets in Seattle for three days this week. The first grand opera dealing with the Pacific Northwest has received a successful launching on the stage. The four performances recently given in Seattle were ample to demonstrate the merit of the opera, and it is all the more interesting because it is said to be the first grand opera ever composed by a woman. The banks of the Pacific Northwest are in better condition now than at any time since 1907. This fact is brought out by the reports of the comptroller of currency. In Seattle, banks show increased deposits of more than $6,000,000. Similar improvements are shown all along the line. The mayor of Chehalis has offered a prize of $15 to the boy raising the best head of cabbage. Evidently cabbage comes high in Chehalis county, but then, goodness knows they are high enough everywhere. Dairymen of Chehalis are planning a cooperative creamery and expect to have the milk from 2,000 to 3,000 cows to support the project. The farmers in Horse Heaven country are jubilant over the crop prospect. It is six years since there has been as much moisture on the hills, the result of unusually heavy snowfalls. A prediction of 25 to 30 bushels an acre is made. Because of the great success with which potatoes were raised last season in the Washtuena valley an extremely large acreage is being planted this spring. It is impossible to estimate the amount, but it will run into hundreds of acres. Four white men and a Filipino have been adopted into the Quinault Indian tribe, the ceremony taking place a few weeks ago. The men were all residents among the Indians and were adopted on their request. By the laws and Indian customs the men are now eligible to allotment of land in the reservation. 8 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Is published every Friday by Cayton Publishing Company.

HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate WISE AND OTHERWISE. All topics and essays of students are now upon "summer vacation" as commencement day draws near. Think of Pacific Coast people eating potatoes that have been shipped from Europe. It seems that the best is not being made of our opportunities. Banana peelings and an icy pavement are not conducive of great dignity. Some fish story that from Bellingham about the fish caught in Lake Whatcom containing a sample advisory ballot. Last week it was a diamond ring. What next? We can draw a moral from the recent disaster of the sinking of the Titanic. The sacrifice of safety to speed lays bare a weak spot in human nature. At what a cost has this tragedy of the sea taught us that human life is more to be valued than a record-breaking voyage. Then again needed reforms in the matter of sufficient life boats, proper equipment in all departments and thorough emergency drills cannot be too strongly emphasized, and doubtless other amendments and limitations will follow. Is man's attitude of mind entirely filled with humility when he goes down on his knees to search for his collar button or lays upon his back in the dust or mud underneath his car trying to get it to work? It is said that the training which Catholics receive give them a reverence for purity which tends to make them respect women. But it is the concensus of opinion that all Christianity teaches the nobility of soul that comes from innocence and virtue and creates chivalry toward the opposite sex. A busy person is never a "busybody." A well trained mind has no room for meddling nor has the mind of a busy person any room for gossip or back-biting. Education and business occupies and lifts humanity in general above such petty characteristics. The man who has received a nomination and says he didn't spend a cent, is a fit subject for strict investigation. Harry Lauder, the Scotch vaudeville performer, is seriously ill, it is stated, from internal ailments. If it were termed "infernal," it might, perhaps, account for the manner in which he treats his audiences. It is being brought to mind by the press of the country that there is a lesson to be learned by Republican politicians and the public in general from the fate of the Democrats. In 1896 the Chicago convention repudiated the Democratic administration. It has not been recognized since, and only since Roosevelt announced his candidacy has the Democratic party assumed any prominence in the mind of the public. Another chapter in the story of George Adams is added this week in the announcement that he has been granted a parole. And few indeed will be the number that does not feel that it is justly given, and that he has expiated his crime. Work is not only a good physical but also a great moral developer. It is also a panacea for all disappointment, and for illness, to a certain extent. Idleness brings dissatisfaction and furnishes an incentive for much evil. The life of duty, not the life of ease or mere pleasure, is the kind of life that develops noble character. It is worth while to work, and work that is worth doing, is worth doing well. Brete Harte, the noted author of Western stories, declared that "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the heathen Chinese is peculiar." So he is. They are a solemn people. They smile sometimes, but you have to know how to interpret it. They are inveterate gamblers and generally take their losing philosophically, but if cheating is charged there is always trouble—and funerals. "Leguminotherapy" is the name of the latest scientific diet composed of vegetables. The diet may become popular, but the name —never. It would cause indigestion if the vegetables did not. A freight car, containing over 8,000 bibles, is on its way to Los Angeles, where they are to be placed in the rooms of the hotels of that city. It is to be hoped that the seed thus sown will create a spirit of "love thy neighbor as thyself." The pious person who says, "I try to do my duty and do not hesitate to remind others to do the same," may be a useful member of society, but never becomes popular. "Parsifal," Wagner's immortal opera, is symbolic of the eternal fight between Christianity and Paganism. Wagner was an infidel for forty years but learned to know God in composing "Parsifal." STATE NEWS. Senator Jones has offered a bill authorizing the expenditure of $50,000 on a system of roads for the development of Mt. Rainier National Park. Three carolads of Eastern oysters are to be planted this week by the Westport Oyster Company on its beds in lower Grays Harbor. In conjunction with governors of other states, Gov. M. E. Hay has issued a proclamation calling on the people of Washington to give aid to the sufferers from the floods which have devastated the Mississippi valley. The public service commission has made an order to the effect that all interurban trains between Seattle and Tacoma shall reduce their speed to 15 to 20 miles an hour, in certain sections, owing to company's refusal to repair its track. MEDICAL NOTES Dr. Howard Fox is reported to have seen as many as thirty lepers in New York City in a year who are continuing their usual occupation. Some have had it for years and do not seem to be spreading it. Dr. Walter Conley, in charge of the leper colony in New York, does not believe that leprosy is a menace to a community in that climate, and says the leprophobia, or fear of leprosy, is more injurious to the community than the disease itself.

During the past year, according to recent reports of the Rockefeller commission, 140,000 persons were treated in nine southern states for hookworm, at an average cost of $1.27 each. An artificial respiratory machine, the pulmotor, which automatically pumps oxygen into the lungs of an asphyxiated person, has restored to life those who to all intents and purposes, were dead. Recent experiments have shown conclusively that a plant growing up through polluted soil will take on its leaves germs from the soil, and that an occasional rain does not necessarily wash away the germs. 2. A baby was born in Petaluma, Cal., some weeks ago which weighed only two pounds. It was placed in an incubator where it is thriving and now weighs over six pounds. G. B.

Adenoids are less common in warm than in cold climates. Dr. Gotthiel points out that the action of the sun's rays upon the head is injurious not only to the hair but the whole system, over-indulgence in sun baths causing irritability and nervous cardiac and circulating disturbances.

British Ambassador Bryce and wife have left New York for New Zealand, where they will study at first hand political and sociological conditions of a part of the British empire the ambassador has never before visited. 1 In a recent speech in Massachusetts President Taft suggested that the constitution be changed to make a presidential term six years instead of four. He says no man should hold the office more than one term then. The spring cleanup is now on in Alaska, the earliest ever known. Gold shipments will begin in June. The government carries on its payroll a large number of dogs as they are necessary for the use of the signal corps in Alaska. They are allowed $15 a head for food and medicine per year. The army transport Buford will leave San Francisco immediately for the west coast of Mexico to pick up any Mexican refugees who may wish to leave the country.

Chinese in adopting the Republican form of government has assumed all the features of modern government including trial by jury, and the innovations appear to be work- ing satisfactorily. The Oriental takes hold of new ideas readily, once he is convinced that they are beneficial. The assay office of Seattle and the San Francisco mint are to be abolished by the simple expedient of failing to provide any money for their maintenance. A settlement worker of New York, who has been an earnest student of home econ- omies of various people in many countries, is authority for the statement that the av- erage American housewife is not as good a manager as those of the same class in Eu- rope. A fourth attempt is being made to liberate Harry K. Thaw from Matteawan State Hos- pital, where he was imprisoned for the slay- ing of Stanford White, six years ago. Mad King Otto of Bavaria is sixty-four years old, and has spent thirty-four of that period in confinement because of his mental condition. Archbishop Ireland spoke at the Grant celebration last week and touched upon some of the problems of the day, particularly the recall of the judiciary and of Socialism. He said ‘‘the recall was a peril which must not be treated lightly.’’ In 1907 real work was begun toward the organization of the Social Center idea. It is significant of the spirit it represents that the social center work is not the result of any one person, set or faction. The move- ment being in its nature absolutely demo- cratic and free to develop any needs or de- sires that the good sense of the community may choose. At the recent International Congress on the Negro, eighteen foreign countries and twelve different religious denominations were represented. There were Africans, West Indians and Americans of all denom- inations and shades of color; there were rep- resentatives of the very latest scientific views upon social and racial problems as well ag educational and religious. The only woman west of the Mississippi who ever bowled a perfect ten-pin score, 300, is Mrs. George Watkins, of Venice, Cal. She has established a record that cannot be beaten and is being showered with congratu- lations. It is announced that Carl Morris, the Okla- homa giant boxer, is to be taken in hand and trained by Bob Fitzsimmons. If he can gain some of the cleverness that made Fitzsim- mons so formidable fifteen years ago, Morris may yet become the ‘‘white hope.’” THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN must parade at 10 p. m. and play five min- utes, and ever since the order has been car- ried out, “Winter to Winter’’ is to be the slogan of the Panama-Pacific International Expo- sition, which is to open in San Francisco February 20, 1915, and will close on Decem- ber 4th, the same year. The Supreme court of the United States has lately decided that a water company may not cut off a householder’s supply if he does not pay his water tax, as such action might not only lead to serious suffering to affected party but might also endanger the health of the community.
