OREGONIAN XB&i BUREAU. Wash
ington, Oct. resignation of Judge
James 'WickgBpham, of Alaska, puts an
end to one of the bitterest and at the
same time one o( the most unjust patron
age flffhu that was ever taken on to the
floor of the United States Senate. The
Wickersham case is an extreme example
of the wrong that can be done by the
abuse of Senatorial power; Its culmination
Is a reflection upon the Senate. It Is a
fight closed by the accused because he
preferred to retire rather than prolong a
controversy in which might was bound to
triumph over right so long as the Senate
adheres to Its rule of so-called "Sena
torial courtesy."
Judge "Wickersham was appointed orig
inally by PreMdent McKlnley and served
four years with credit to himself and to
the Administration, but in that time he
Incurred the 111 will of powerful mining
Interests in Alaska, and those interests,
like similar Interests in the States, had a
jiull in the Senate. When President
Koosevelt reappointed Judge Wickersham
in 19M his intention was held up In the
Senate by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota,
end Senator McCumber, of North Dakota.
Nelson and McCumber, to make their
protest 6tick, preferred charges against
Wickersham, and while those charges
Were ponding the Senate was not. willing
to act Those' charges served to prevent
In liM his nomination was held up In the
"Winter of 1901-5. But the charges were
ent to the Judge, and a year later, when
his nomination went to the Senate, the
answer was1 ready. And It was convinc
ing to most men, but not to Nelson and
JiteCumber. Meantime they had accumu
lated new charges, and that served as a
pretext for delaying confirmation for an
other 12 months.
Kelson and McCumber Are Active.
The President took no stock In the
charges, for he gave Wickersham a re
appointment each time Congress ad
journed, and when it convened the follow
ing Winter he sent In Wlckersham's nom
ination. But each time the nomination
was called up Nelson and McCumber had
new oharges to prefer. They painted
Wickersham as a bold, bad man. and
the Senate, which has a tender regard
for the wishes of most members of that
august body, would not think of confirm
ing an Alaska Judge If his confirmation
was objectionable to those two apostles
of honor, Messrs. Nelson and McCumber.
In season and out. Judge Wickersham
was called upon many times to answer
the oharges of Nelson and McCumber, arid
each time? he answered In a way that
satisfied President Roosevelt and satis
fied almoBt every other member of the
Senate. But he never satisfied Nelson or
McCumber. Out of abundance of precau
tion President Roosevelt sent one of the
best men In the Department of Justice to
Alaska to make personal Investigation on
the ground into all charges against Judge
Wickersham, whether preferred by Nelson
and" McCumber or by others. The report
was a complete vindication of Wicker
sham, and the President accepted the
word and the Judgment of thle repre
sentative in preference to the word of
Senators Nelson and McCumber. He was
satisfied that Wickersham was the victim
of persecution, and so far as lay within
lits power he proposed to give Wicker
sham a square deal. Of course he could
not force the Senate to confirm the judge,
but ho could do practically the same thing
in effect he could nominate him at the
opening of each session of Congress and
reappoint him upon adjournment, thus
Tetnlnlng him continuously on the bench.
Anil that Is what he did, and what he
promised to do to the end of his term
unless tho Senate, in the meantime,
treated Wickersham fairly.
Case Never Comes to Vote.
Put the Wickersham case was never
given fair consideration in the Senate.
Seldom was it discussed In executive
session; never was it allowed to come
to a vote. Had It been put to vote
Wickersham would have been confirmed
by an almost unanimous vote, for there
were few Senators who would have voted
with Nelson and McCumber: some might
rave done so out of friendship for the
Senators, but not many. But Nelson and
McCumber knew very well they could
never beat Wickersham In a fair fight;
they knew the Senate would never vote
to reject his nomination; so they resorted
to cowardly tactics; they fought Wick
ersham from ambush and to the extent
that they prevented his confirmation.
they won out. But they failed of their
main purpose in that they could not get
Wickersham off Vie bench. That was a
thorn in their side. They found them
nelves between two Urea. They knew
the Senate would not back them up on
a vote; they knew the President, after
careful investigation of the facts, would
never be prejudiced against Wickersham
by their trumped-up charges, so they
made a dogged fight Which availed them
.nothing. '
No lawyer of merit can afford to spend
the best years of his life fighting for
vindication, when his enemies hold the
commanding card that stands between
Mm ancT-the vindication he seeks. Judge
Wickersham saw that, no matter how
friendly the President might be, there
was no way of changing his status as
long as Nelson and McCumber persisted
lrr their filibuster, so he decided to end
It all and resign. Nelson and McCumber
will now be satisfied, to some extent.
though not nearly as well satisfied as If
they could have Induced the President
to abandon Wickersham, or as If they
could have Induced the Senate to reject
his nomination. Theirs Is not a whole
some victory. But their fight stands as
a reminder of what wrongs can be done
In the name of Senatorial courtesy. In
justice and unfairness alone, due to per
sonal prejudice on the paTt of two Sen
ators, is all that prevented the confirma
tion of Judge Wickersham. Perhaps the
ickersham case may serve as a warn
ing to other Alaskan Judges not to de
cide ngnlnst friends of Senators Nelson
and McCumber. It Is as much as an
Alaskan Judge's reputation Is worth to
tread upon the toes of friends of these
two Senators. Great is. tho might of the
members of the Senate, for in that body.

LIKE WESTERN MEN. BEST
Washington State Girl Tourists Crit
icise the Effete East.
Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29. Trouble of an
aggravated form broke out among the
State of Washington boosters one
young- woman and one married woman
at Loncoln Park yesterday after
noon, and the party broke up and re
treated to the Sherman House In con
fusion.
The cause well, the reader must
Judge.
There were no signs of discord unui
Miss Kincald. of Douglas County, a
vivacious blonde, had her picture taken
while holding a paw of the huge lion
at the zoo, and Miss Anna Level, daugh
ter of the Lincoln County Sheriff, and
Miss Mabel Simmons got a man a Chi
cago product, at that and went off by
themselves.
Mrs. Howard Bramwell, of Whitman
County, chaperon, was considerably
vexed, but Philip S. Bates, of Portland,
Or., payer of all expenses or the trip
and thoroughly experienced In woman
kind, only smiled, and thereby proved
himself a thorough diplomat.
Miss Kincald's monopolizing; the at
tention of Cy De Vry, head animal
trainer, might have acted as an In
centive for Jealousy, it is said, but the
girls would not acknowledge it. The
sentiments of the majority were ex
pressed when Miss Mabel Simmons, of
Cheian County said: "Whitman and
Douglas Counties were getting all the
good things published and It would
look to the home people as though the
rest weren't working."
In the party are girls of all sorts,
and with their cowboy hats and red
neck scarfs they are a fetching looking
lot. But when arranged for dinner,
with white frocks, they appear the
same as the typical Chicago girl.
During the trip to the Jamestown
exposition every girl In the crowd has
received from three to a dozen pro
posals of marriage, both verbal and
written.
When one of the silly love missives
fell Into the hands of an outsider there
was a scene.- Miss Irma Dunford, of
Benton County, finally gained posses
sion of the writing by pleading:
"Please let me have It. we don't
want our home fellows to think we
have been flirting. We have simply
been having a good time."
Miss Stella Perkins, of Whitman
County, daughter of James A. Perkins,
president and principal owner of the
Bank of Colfax, and who has a big
ranch In her own right, expressed her
self freely on the man question:
"We are considerably short of them
out in our country," she said, "not for
matrimonial purposes, but for business
reasons. People in the Cast think that
out our way there are nothing but cow
boys and Reubens and women who are
always clad In wrappers.
"They would be surprised to know
we have our Interurban electrics the
same as Chicago. There are no dudes in
our section, 'but a few cigarette fiends
are In evidence. Don't you know that
we have the better element of man
hood? The Western man may be a bit
uncouth and rough and ready, but he
Is more gallant and has a far greater
admiration and respect for woman that
the Eastern young fellow."
Frank M. Woodruff, assistant curator
at the Academy of Science, was trying
to interest the girl in the huge mam
moth In the Academy of Science. They
were there for perhaps two minutes
when Miss Lilian Clark, of Walla
Walla County, blurted out Impatiently:
"O, show us the live ones, the dead
ones are not interesting."
"Oh, the dear little squirrel," shout
ed Miss Lillian Ausman; of Asotin
County, as she fed the animal a hand
ful of peanuts. "We have these, but
they are wild, and we have live elk,
deer and porcupine, and not dead ones
like those inside."
"Oh, you sweet thing," said Miss Kin
cald to a zebra Just as that frisky ani
mal shot its hind legs against the wire
netting, "you remind me of a bucking
broncho."
When Interest in animals became ex
hausted, man again became the topic of
conversation.
"Say, you Chicagoans have New
Yorkers skinned a mile," said Miss
DunXord. 'Ton ought to see those
fellows barely touch the fingers of
your hand In sissy fashion as they say
'How de.' You men here take a good
grab and put feeling into it Those
Easterners are Icicles." a
"I never stood in a streetcar until
I came East," said Miss Grace Crooks
"But I am not complaining about Chi
cago. Your city Is a whole lot like
my home town."
Miss Level is small and looks like
an ordinary Eastern society girl In
evening attire. In her street costume
she shows the swagger of an athlete.
Miss Dunford owns a big ranch, is
first-class stenographer and earns $6 a
day keeping the court records of Ben
ton County. She Is the champion lariat
thrower of her section and yesterday
afternoon Issued a challenge to one
Kodgers, doing stunts at a local
theater, to best him -in a ropine con
test. Mr. Bates says he stands ready to
oacs ner in the sum of J 10 JO.
TEST WESTERN HEMLOCK
Trials of Strength of Green and
Dried Timbers Being Made.
OREGONIAN STEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Oct. 8. For some time the forest
service has been making an important
series of tests at Seattle to determine the
strength of Western hemlock. The work
has been done at the Washington State
University, and the material used was
obtained through the co-operation of a
number of "lumber manufacturers. The
most of it was cut upon the" western
slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Ore
gon. The beams selected for the tests are
16 feet long, and 8 by 16 inches In sec
tion. Forty-five of them were tested In
the green state, and an equal number
will be air-dried and then submitted to
the test to see what loads they will carry.
The results of these tests will show the
comparative strength of the two classes
of material.
The Introduction of western hemlock as
a structural timber has met with con
siderable opposition. The prejudice
against It is chiefly on account of its
name. It has been looked upon as being
in the same class with eastern hemlock,
although-the two species differ consider
ably In their mechanical and physical
properties. So far as the tests have been
completed the western hemlock has
proved to be a first-class structural tim
ber, suitable for all construction purposes
except the heaviest kinds of buildings. At
the same time the regular and even
texture of the wood makes It suitable for
flooring, moldings, paneling and Inside
.finish.

count of fog.
The coal on the Breakwater is the first
shipment of fuel that this steamer has
received from Coos Bay. An effort has

many more of practical experience. The
regular practitioner Is proficient In a large
number of the commonest and most easily
conquered diseases. The specialist must first
become proficient for general practice, and
must then go on to proficiency in a few of
those conditions and diseases more difficult
to understand and more difficult to oure.

VARICOCELE
A thorough cure without pain or cutting.
Every case of varicocele I treat proves the
superiority of my mild and harmless meth
od, and the folly of resorting to surgery.
In most Instances It Is even unnecessary to
detain the patient a single day from his
business. The treatment I employ Is dis
tinctively my own, and can be had at my
office only. Do not submit to the knife
and hospital expenses, when a complete and
permanent cure can be had without the loss
of time, and without pain or cutting.
SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON
Others dose the system with mineral
poisons scarcely less dangerous than the dis
ease itself. 1 he best they hope to do by
thle treatment Is to keep the disease from
manifesting Its presence upon the surface
of the body. Under my treatment the en
tire system is cleansed. The last taint of
virus Is destroyed. Every symptom van
ishes to appear no more. I employ harm
less blood-cleansing remedies. They are
remedies heretofore unknown in the treat
ment of this disease. They cure by neu
tralising and absolutely destroying the
poison In the system. Such cures cannot
ba other than complete and permanent.
