Naming of Judges Almost Sub

Convention.

. 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-

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

Officers of Association Hope Presi

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.

So It seems that while England and

work among both French and British. If

France they also represent decadence In
England. Can It be that the late Dr

acquiring the names of prominent
American characters, ces and poli

it was said that there was no limit; to
the American names that might be
thrust upon the proposed steamships
of the various foreign lines running
to this port. It was suggested that
the Hamburg-American line might call
its new 45,000-ton liner the Theodore

Red Star line might be the Hughes
