As Khurl was a Christian convert and prominent In a loral Presbyterian ohurrh. Mrs. Khurl si Id he was very careful to conceal bis mistreatment of them. When friends would call at the house he would he the essence of courtesy and kindness and probably boat her before the visitors were a block away from the house. lie frequently tMd her of bavin killed 11 people before coming to A merlra and told her that if she ever revealed that fact lie would not hesitate a minute In killing her. In Kebruary. Mrs. Khuri tired of brutal treatment and secured a divorce from t'irruit Judge Oleland. The father was plvpii permission to see his own child, only a few weeks old at the time of the ilivorre. The court fixed twice a week as the periods at which Khurl might call at the house on these visits. Me was more brutal than ever after that, she said, and frequently accused her unjustly of wrongdoing. She finally de- ls d a plan of leaving the house at the times when he would call to see the ha by. She also say Attorneys Logan & Shillork and asked them to secure a supplemental decree from the Circuit Court forbidding Khuri to enter the house. Monday Khuri went so far as to accost his former wife on the street and de manded to know where she secured the new hat she was wearing. She told him she bought it for Raster, as was custo mary in this country, and then he de manded to know where her little boy got new suit he had on and who paid for the suit and hat. Me followed her up Fourth street from Stark, and at Washington street tola her he would kill hV unless she explained about the hat. Mrs. Khuri appealed to several pedestrians. Among them Og-lesby Young, for protection. Khurl jelunk away and the wtman was advised to see Dep uty City Attorney Tomlinson and secure a complaint. This she did. and Khurl was taken before Judge Cameron, yes terday morning, where he was dealt with summarily. "I have no patience who men who mis treat their wives.' said the Judge. "But this woman is no longer your wife and you haven't pven the right to question her about her hat. The place for you is In jail, but I believe It would be for the heat interests of this woman if you would leave town. 1 am not Inclined to he In any way lenient with you. hut if you wish to leave town.

Your neighbor s dog has a legal ripht to chew, half ym?r leg off. provided be reforms Immediately a f ter wards and doesn't hit p. you or anyone else there after. This Interesting phase of the law came out in the Municipal Court yester day forenoon when Kenneth N orris was t harged with keeping a vicious dog. The dog hit a littfe boy In the neighborhood and Sol Robenstin got out the com plaint. It was a verv clear case from the lay man's point of view. The dog bit the boy, as attested by a row of teeth marks. "But the law is a most Intricate affair and somewhere in the code It says, with a flourish of jaw-soHtting adjectives, thot dog has one bile coming. ft doesn't matter If he bites a leg off so long as he doesn't repeat the offense. The law makers hold ih;it the owner of a dog can't know the dog is vicious until an out- ard manifestation of that propensity is given. Therefore, ihe Initial bite which ii canine inflicts, in the neighborhood is pot a breach of the law. but merely a earning to the owner of the pup that he has got to tearh the dog better man ners. The second canine assault. of murse. may result in execution of the dog and punishment of the owner. The case against Norrls was necessarily rmissed. F K.

Riley seized the oppor tunity to gM away, but the officer got up in time to seize Wilson and Raldra. Raldra spent the rest of the day In jail but an investigation of his rerord showed that he is a hard worker, has money in the bank and bears an excellent reputa tion. Aside from his propensity for hang ing about saloons-, nothing could he found HEainst htm. (.Jolts was inclined to accept Raldra's conduct as a mistake, and so Informed Judge Cameron.

Special Cor respondem".) The time for deriding that nil-Important question, "Who Will be. the Next President?". Is drawing near, and the politicians and others are wsktng IV-as than fiO days remain In which to plan the nomination of the man who will Ipad the Republican party tf vic tory, or If a mistake Is made. snd It to Ignominious defeat. Many there are who may smile, st this snd nay: "That's al! settled, as TaXt will he the nominee on the first ballot." Klity days ao this would be true had the eon vent it ti sat at that time, but W days hence will see some marvelous changes In the situation. Of all the candidates in the field to day. Taft Is the strongest yet In that streiiKtti lies his weakness. Taft Is not. nor can he be the people's choice. But from the first he has ben the Presi dent's choice, and because the people Idolize Kooeveit they have tacitly ac cepted Taft. Vet there Is an undercur rent of feellne and resentment aqatnst presidential legateeshtp which Is spread ing, not only among the common people. but to the politicians and leaders through out the country. No people want a candi date foisted on them either by a ma chine or an Individual, even though that Individual be our popular President. If they cannot get what they want, they at least demnnd the privilege of choosing for themselves out of the available tim ber offered, preferring to make a mistake In their own judgment rather than ac cept the ready-made article. The country as a whole has absolute confidence in the honesty 'and sincerity of Roosevelt, regardless of party affilia tions, and while Roosevelt would receive: 25 per cent of the Democratic vote, Taft would receive absolutely none of It. A great part of the labor vote will be against Taft on account of certain de cisions of his while on the bench, and the colored vote will hold him responsible for the Brownsville affair, for the rea son that Roosevelt acted on recommen dations of the War Department, of which Secretary Taft was the head. While no reasonable man will take issue with the verdict rendered on that occasion still the unreasonable, smarting under an imaginary humiliation on account of racial prejudice, will retaliate blindly on the object of their hatred. And votes count. I passed through Omaha a few days ago, and Taft and I were in the town ! at the same time. I escaped unnoticed. I and from a certain paper whose columns should have "been dotted with stars, all we ! learned of Mr. Taft's visit was that he ate a beefsteak that weighed several pounds before he hypnotized It. The paper was full of what Mr. Taft said about making the beefsteak look sick, etc. But nowhere did I see that the people went wild with enthusiasm over the big Secretary, and In fact the only people mentioned In connection with the affair were politicians who were there to be eounted. At the same time, Mr. Bryan was swinging round the circle In the Middle West, and the sum waa shining all the time. There is another factor that enters Into this contest unknown in former cam paigns, and which seems to have been overlooked, and that Is the absence of political bosses, like Hanna. Quay, Piatt and the score of -others who made and unmade Presidents, and who are dead or relegated to the shades of inocuous desuetude. This also may be of small moment, but nevertheless, at the con vention there 'will be no man or set of men to dictate the policies of any dele gation, and the result may be disastrous to the fortunes of the Republican party. For. as sure as Mr. Taft is nominated. Just as sure will Mr. Bryan be elected as he, like Roosevelt, Is the candidate of the people. No one for a moment questions th sincerity of Mr. Roosevelt In desiring the nomination of Mr. Taft. but Mr. Roose velt must learn that the American peo ple are the most emotional of any race on earth, as many idols of the people can bear witness, and that it is one thing to secure for himself the highest gift In their power. ad quite another to usurp the people's rights and hand the gift to an Innocent third party. Con sequently, the result will be the nomina tion of Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft, and the election of Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Bryan. It seems quite likely, however, that If Mr. Roosevelt should be nominated Mr. Bryan will not be a candidate, as the issue would then be on party lines and Mr. Bryan could not hope to win, and he is too astute a politician to voluntarily offer himself as a sacrifice again on the altar of Democratic ambition. Tt has been proclaimed that Mr. Taft will carry out the Roosevelt policies, that Mr. Roosevelt believes that he will do so, and that is why the people consider him at all. Will he do so? Mr. Taft is Considered friendly to the "interests." and recently said he would be Independ ent of the so-called Roosevelt policies. When this reached the White House there was a noise like an infant cyclone tugging at Its chains, and Mr. Taft heard It. He could not get the wires quick enough to deny the statement, and now the papers are having some fun at his expense by publishing his denial that if elected he will not be independent. There seems to be a growing suspicion that Mr. Roosevelt will wake up to find that he has been deceived In Mr. Taft, so far as carrying out his policies are concerned, and that Mr. Taft's sym pathies are with the "Interests." But the aforesaid "interests" are themselves becoming a little timid about indorsing Mr. Taft for the reason that he Is said to be a pronounced free-trader, while Mr. Roosevelt stands for protection. Conse quently, the "interests" are giving more attention to the case as it draws near'to contention time, and are seriously de bating the question as to whether Mr. Roosevelt with his big stick, a square deal and protection to American indus tries. Is not preferable to Mr. Taft, with his broad smile, plastic disposition and free-trade tendencies. It will be easy to guess the answer, as self-preservation is the first law of nature, and both friendship and hatred ceases where busi ness Interests are likely to be affected. This view is confirmed by the utterances of Judge Gary, president of the Steel Trust, who practically indorses Roose velt and who admits that the large cor porations must obey the laws. We have another factor in the game and that Is the Influence of the other at-pi rants for the presidency, and their friends: Strange as it may appear, they do not blame Mr. Roosevelt so much, for J THIRD E M BOOM DEAD THE1 PORTLAND rWIUKD, 01 MOIIP.RN UUrrAUHAjrf.

The fact remains that Knox, of Pennsylvania, who Is more than a mere shadow among the possibilities, will throw his strength tn Mr. Roosevelt rather than see- the nomination go to Mr. Taft. Mr. Fora kcr, who is very pronounced in his hos tility to Mr. Roosevelt, is said to have expressed the same purpose. In private, nf rnnrse. hut those who understand the hitter rivalry between Mr. Taft and himself for control of Ohio, do not hesi tate to predict Mr. Foraker's support, not so much for Mr. .- Roosevelt against Mr. Taft. Mr. Fairbanks is In the same class, and it has been said that Senator "Jim" Hemenway ot In diana, stated that if Mr. Taft was nomi nated he believed Indiana would give Mr. Brvan a majority of oO.fW. and that if Mr. Roosevelt received the nomination he would carry the state by io,0no to 100, 000. It is also said that if 1t would not jeopardize the nomination, a compli mentary role would be given to Mr. Cannon, after which Illinois would go solid for Mr. Roosevelt. Senator I.a Follctte makes no secret of his prefer ence for Mr. Roosevelt, and his state, and In fact all the Western states whose people love the fighting man, will drop into line. Senator Henry Cabot Idge, of Mas sachusetts, would like to throw his state to Mr. Taft, but his colleague. Senator W. Murry Crane, is In favor of New England supporting Mr. Roosevelt, as the manufacturing interests there must be protected. And here the cool business head must prevail. Mr. Hughes W per haps not as much a factor now as he was a fw weeks ago. and It is openly hinted that New York will jump on the Roosevelt band wagon. There was a time when Senator Bourne was a mark for ridicule, on account of his second-elective term propaganda, but It is only necessary to get next to those who know and you wiU find that the sentiment among the big guns is gradu ally coming around to his view point. I had a talk with W. H. Andrews, the member from New Mexico, who was for 20 years "Mat" Quay's right-hand man and chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Pennsylvania. He has been In politics for 40 years, has per haps more experience in the making and unmaking of Presidents than any man now in 'the public eye and he is as ardent a supporter of Mr. Roosevelt for the nomination as is Senator Bourne, and what Is more, says that Mr. Roosevelt is the only man who can beat Mr. Brvan. He says that Mr. Bryan will carry all of the South, and hat al! the Democratic vote and a large part of the Republican vote will go against any man but Mr. Roosevelt. From his experience in the game. I would say that It might be well not to underestimate his predic tions. To those who are wont to smile t Senator Bourne's hobby. It Is well to remind them that he is not a fool, but an extremely shrewd politician, and here in Washington the men who are rated high and who do things do not hesitate to consult with him, and among these is no less a person than the President. While Senator Bourne Is not running a press bureau to advise his constituents as to what he Is doing In their Interests, my Impression la that some day the people of Oregon will wake up to find that they have been fairly well represented. In the meantime. I would recommend that Oregon should send her delegates to the National Convention pledged for Mr. Roiwevelt. or If this Is not possible, send them unpledged, so that they can be In a position to get on the right ride at HBArKeTT A BTICM T1im TCH.IU.ri aaaf (XVtlMBIUTIAI.

I would also suggest that Senator Bourne be made a delegate, as Oregon owes it to him and to herself, that the man who has so persistently advocated the re-election of President Roosevelt, and foresaw for several years what would be necessary for the preservation of the Republican party, should participate in the honor which will certainly come to Oregon when Mr. Roosevelt is declared the nominee at the Chicago convention which is now practically admitted in poli tical circles. .1.
