4 THE MORNING OKEGOSTAN. TUESDAY, - AUGUST g. SENAT0RSH1P IS ISSUE AT TAGOMA Naming of Judges Almost Sub merged at Republican State Convention. PLATFORM IS IMPORTANT Majority, Combining Against Poln . dexter, Is Likely to Adopt Reso lutions to Which Insurgent Cannot Agree. TACOMA. Wub.. Aug. l.-(Speclal Called for the purpose t naming five candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court the Republican atate convention, which meets in this city Wednesday, promises, to be something more than a nominating convention, for Senatorial politics has already been Injected Into the situation to an extent that It almost overshadows the main purpose of the gathering. . Through the state the several men who are seeking the place In the United States Senate now held by Samuel H. Piles, of Seattle, have taken an active ir.terest In the selection of delegates to the state convention, each hoping there by not only to show prestlire among the voters but also obtain the adoption of a platform that meet his views. Polndexter Generally Opposed. In the latter particular It is practically the Held against Miles Polndexter. of Ppokane. Of the leading candidates for the Senatorshlp Polndexter Is the only one subscribing to Insurgent principles and Plnchotlsm. John L. Wilson. Judge Thomas Burke and John Q Humphries, of Seattle, and James M. Ashton. of T cooia. are Taft Atlmlnistratlon men and opposed to the locking up of the re sources of the West. Each is more or less friendly to R. A. Balllnger. Secre tary of the Interior, while Polndexter as a member of Congress has acted with the Ptnchot-Glavls clique In the effort to discredit the Secretary. The state convention. If the plans or some of the strongest opponents of Poln dexter do not miscarry, will In effect read the ftpokane man out of the party by adopting resolutions that will make tt Impossible for Polndexter to sub scribe to them and still declare for the principles he now espouses. Majority Against Him. In a convention where majority rules, as In the question of a platform, it would appear that Polndexter Is fighting against strong odds, but In the primaries, where he is seeking the Indorsement under the provisions of the direct primary law. the v. I- thA nnlv plurality governs ami - Insurgent candidates the odds change to his favor. Realising this and the fact that the Democrats are already show ing signs of entering the Republican pri maries. Polndexter s combined opponents. It Is believed, will attempt to spike his guns In the convention. Polndexter Is the only Senatorial can didate, aside from Tacoma's own candi date. James M. Ashton. who as yet has headquarters in Tacoma. The Polndex ter headquarters, however, were not es tablished solely for the purpose of the state convention, but were opened about the time of the Pierce County convention. June I. The Spokane man has an or ganisation In this county, as well as In other counties west of the mountains, has addressed meetings In this locality and has a material following In the rural districts. Primary Law Changed. In the election thla year, the only state officers to be chosen are Ave of the nine Justice of the Supreme Court. Two years ago Justices of the Supreme Ctourt'were nominated by a direct pri mary, non-partisan method and only threw who were nominated In the primar ies were entitled to have their names printed on the official ballot in the gen eral election. Primary nomination was equivalent to election. It was -largely because of the cam paign conducted by John E. Humphries, who sought a position on the Supreme Bench two years ago. that the Legisla ture subsequently changed the law gov erning the nomtnatlon of Supreme Court Justices- Judge Humphries, who lei now a candidate for the Vnited States 9?nate. offended some of his brother lawyers, who accused him of appealing to class prejudices to. gain votes. Judge Hum phries at least thoroughly advertised hla campaign atid came very near being elected. Consequently there was a movement In the succeeding Legislature for a return to convention nomination of Supreme -curt justices and the bill was passed. The non-partisan feature In the general election Is maintained by printing the xiames of the candidate ef the several parties on the ballot without political designation. Incumbents) All Candidates. The five Justices of the Supreme Court whose terms expire next January are: M F Ows. Emmett X. Parker. F. H. Rudkln. lie rge a Morris and M. A. Ful lerton.. All are candidates for re-election and In addition thereto W. O. Chapman, of Tacoma- Mason lrwln. of Aberdeen, and A. E. Rice, of Chehalle. are seeking It. Republican convention Indorsement. Judge Parker and Judge Chapman are toth from Tacoma and aei It Is conceded that Tacoma cannot have two places on the ticket the principal nominating con- . v. Mnrandnn aocnntln to test wio . -- -- ------ the present outlook, will be between those two. Kfforts have been made In recent days by Judge Parker's friends to secure the withdrawal of Judge Chap man but so far the efforts have been unsuccessful. Some fear Is expressed that Tacoma will fall on both candidates by having a divided delegation. An interesting event almost on the eve cf the convention will be a dollar Demo cratic banquet to held here tomorrow right which will be attended by leading members of the party from other sec tions of the state. Some of the Tacoma Republicans are awaiting the reports from this Democratic meeting In expec tation that something may there be at tempted In Polndexier favor.

TAFT PIONEER MEMBER JOINED CONSERVATION CON GRESS BEFORE PINCHOT. Officers of Association Hope Presi dent Will Muke Address at St. Paul Meeting. ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 1. An inter esting light on President Tawfs con nection with the conservation move ment develops In the fact that the records of the National Conservation Association show that he is the orig inal member, having Joined before Preaident Gilford Plnchot took office and while the venerable President Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, was at Its head. He has continuously main tained hla membership and. In point of duration of his relation to the associa tion, is a pioneer. Officers of the association feel that this connection will serve to persuade the Preaident to make unusual efforts so to arrange bis time as to be present In St. Paul during the coming congress, and in the Northwest there Is especial Interest In the prospect of an address from the first member and one of the original conservationists. Commenting upon the slight confu sion of some of the delegates already appointed as to the fields of work of the conservation association and the conservation congress. Secretary Shjpp, of the -association, who Is also execu tive secretary of the congress, said: "The association is a permanent organization, having a membership of nearly 60.000 scattered through all of the different states. Glfford Plnchot. ex-Chief Forester, Is Its official head. It Is organized along lines simi lar to those of most general associa tions and deals with conservation ques tions In their broad relations and as they affect the states, although purely state questions are within the purview of the various state commissions. "The conservation congress is differ ently organized, having a membership of only auch delegates aa attend, but no permanent or fixed members. Its sessions are arranged by an executive committee representing the association and the congress and its annual ses sions are open to all who come, irre spective of membership In the National association. The two organizations are separata and distinct, the congress be ing an annual meeting of men Inter ested In conservation and the associa tion being an organisation of men who are members and maintain a permanent relationship."

POOR HENPECKED MEN Yet Many of Them Have Been Illus trious in History. Atchison Globe. Many of the world's most Illustrious characters have had wives wno were terrors. Wesley, that disciple of Methodism, wss particularly unfortunate In his choice of a wife. She must have been a perfect Amazon, for It Is said that a friend once found him In the hands of his Infuriated spouse, who was not only "hauling him over the coals." but over the floor, and that too, by the hair of his head, some of which she had literally torn out by the roots. Before their marriage sne was referred to as the "Termagant Widow." but Wesley fell a vlotinn to her wiles, nevertheless, with the result that she not only applted bodily reproof but the moat vindictive epithets as well to this rever end eentleman. She also played the de tective on his every move, hoping woman. like, to catch him at sometning. Milton's .Intellect, in a general way. has never been queioned, but. In one particular, his Judgment seems at fault, for. at 35. he married a girl of 17. who evidently did not appreciate genius, and who. though we are tola mat nis pnysi- cal attractions were, at this time, of a high character lert him in just one month. They were afterward reconciled, though always unhappy, and we must believe that his after life was made un endurable by the three daughters whom she bore him. and who inherited their mother's nagging ways. Many of his friends deplored the extreme position in regard to divorce, which his unfortunate alliances caused him to take, for he ad vocated the old Hebrew law that a man could himself put away hla wife, if he found that they could not dwell happily together. Hie words best Indicate his feelings, for he says: "Marriage without love is committing two ensnared souls to kindle each other, not with the flame of love, but with an hatred irreconcil able." and again of those unhappily niite "two carcasses chained unhap- nllv together, or, as It may be. a living soul chained to a dead corpse." Having been once singed did not pre vent Milton from again hanging, moth like, round the dangerous flame, for he was eager to realize his lofty ideal In re gard to true marriage, and so he allowed himself twice more to be drawn Into matrimony. To the credit of woman let It be said that the third venture proved to be the charm, tne tactiut iaay m ques tlon having solved whst one might be justified in believing tne anncuit pron lem of dwelling harmoniously with .r.iit man. That great satirist, Jonathan Swift, seems also somewhat disgruntled on the sublect of women, for he says: "A man who marries thrusts his hand Into a sack ful of snakes on the chance of drawing out an eel"; and he also tells us that Juna. the goddess ot marriage, ana Ve nus, the goddess of love, were mortal enemies. The pages of history are filled with the record of unhappy marriages, caused either by the discovery mat tne wire aid not love her husband, but married him to escape being a spin, or by her vixenish character. Addison married a widow, of high rank, the Countesa of Warwick, who brought him no happiness. Liord Lytton's nagging mate rendered his life, attended by its tireless struggle with poverty, a veritable hades on esrth. Haydn's wife was a -irago, for It Is said that In fits of temper she would tear up his musical compositions and use them for curl papers. After many years of connubial bliss with this gentle lady, he fled to Iondon and thenceforth refers to her as "that Infernal woman." The pious Joseph Hooker wrote a pon derous production entitled the "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity." but these lawa could not be compared with the laws which he had laid down to him daily by hia life companion. He was obliged to obey her every instruction, and. It is said, was often ordered from the room, where he was entertaining his friends, to rock the baby's cradle. All are aware of the life which Abe Lincoln's wife led him, from which we are obliged to conclude that he not only died a martyr, but lived one as well. One dear woman, whose name we will spare. Is said to havd. addressed her spouse, from whom she hsd just departed In high dudgeon, as follows: "To that supreme of rogues, who looks the- hang dog that he Is," to which her loving, though deserted, lord replies: "To the ape of apes, and the knave of knaves," all of which may be regarded as bits of pleasantry by married couples. Reynolds, the painter, upon being told by a young friend that he Intended to marry, exclaimed In horror: "Marry! Then you are ruined for life." Someone has said: "After all. a man of genius snd virtue Is but a man." which leads us to the conclusion that the true cause of all these marital troubles lies In the fact that the women, who are commonly supposed to be looking for "a man," are. in reality, looking for a hero, an everyday Impossibility. 4 HURT IN COLLISION VANCOUVER CAR SMASHES IXTO REAR OF ANOTHER.

The French decrease In the same period was 46.000. The ngures lor land also show precisely the same course, the birth rate declining from 33 per 1000 In 1883 to 26 per 1000 tn wji. So It seems that while England and Wales ere still a considerable distance from the actual decline In population which the present occasional excess of deaths over births in France, seems to indicate as actually at hand, yet the same causes of birth-rate decline are at work among both French and British. If the phenomena represent decadence In France they also represent decadence In England. Can It be that the late Dr Koch's prediction will come true, that tbV human race will eventually die out from a sort of "congenital taanlUon" such as has occurred in certain of the Polynesian Islands, where whole tribes have become extinct because of the lack of fecundity either of the male or femahs 1 or both? One staring lunmui ! stands out. however, and this is that Primitive races are piraint with the advance of so-called culture, with Increase of refinements and wealth, that fecundity often declines. It is a curious thing that civilization seems to rurrv within Itself the seeds of Its own d"struion.

GILLIAM LABOR PLENTIFUL Harvesting In Eastern Oregon Sow On in Full Blast. CONDON, Or., July 30. (Special.) Harvesting of the Fall grain crop in Gilliam County is now on in full blast, while work on Spring-sown grain will begin in about two weeks. Crops in this section this year are better than they have been since 1907, when Gilliam County produced its bumper grain crop.
