It was tlgnlftcant that In all but one t the six addresses the question of the reran of the Judiciary vil dwelt upon. Edwin It Heckbert acted as toast master and Introduced aa the first 1aker Itobert Treat riatt. who speke n "The Gentle Art of Courtesy." a recognition of the greater considera tion for younger members of the legal fraternity by the leading lawyers which prevails today and which, he recalled, was not characteristic of ihe profea ilon In the days gone by. Speaking in place of Kalph K. Moody, a ho was unable to be present. ex-Scn-itor Charles"V.

C'aaar fr Kvtl la Rerall. While expressing the opinion that .he rerall as applied to other offices night be beneficial, the speaker was lot certain but that Ihe rerall as ap plied to the Judiciary and Its decisions would have the effect to make-for more till than good. "I am -convinced." said Senator Ful :on. "that applied to the Judiciary no vtl could be greater that there could e. no Influence that would tend more radically to destroy a free government tban that of the recall of the Judiciary. "I say that because the Judiciary does lot deal with policies. It has nothing lo do with the establishing of policies (or the government of the people. It Is atabllsbrd for the administration of !he law; to declare tl.e law as it is written; to declare the law aa It has seen handed, down to them through the isen.

The very noment you require the Judge to de part from that principle and determine Jie law. not according to the principle. according to the law laid down In re statute book, but according to arhat he believes the popular concep tion of law to be. you cease to be a lovernment of men and become the government of the whims and bias of he man in the street, who may exrrt jower. of particular Individuals who nay be charged with the administra tion of the law.

Let us be abie to 7dnt to the Judiciary of our state and leclare that. In spite of the incoming flood of recall agitation it has never seen shattered, never has been shaken, ir.d there never has been a doubt about the honor and fearlessness of our rourts. and let ns see that men are glared there who have the courage to Hand for what la right." W. A. Peters, of the Seattle Bar As lociatlon. was the next speaker. In lrallng with the question of "The Passing Court" he referred to various eiebrated cases, such as the Ired irott Ta.e. the Income tax cases and oth ers, where morsl heroism had been ihown by the Judges rendering the de rations in the fai.e of public sentiment opposed to them. vtrid-WIe I' a rest Reeaaiee.

As applied to judge, he declared that it should only rrall against those whose private 'Ives were known to be a scandal and hose public acts are corrupt. He onc!err.nd what he called "trial by res" and expressed Ihe hope that the awyer who expects to have his case ton through the agency of the press a-ould be treated by his professional issoclates In the same way as doctors lo the physician mho advertises.

ABERDEEN'S MAYOR HERE Man Who Csed Oub Against I. YV. W. Describes Condition in City. The "Fighting Mayor" of Aberdeen. James W. Parks, who received this title last Fall by driving- the I. W. W. out of his city with clubs In the, hands of a posse of citlsens. was at the Imperial last night on a short business trip and tells a story of business conditions there that are not encouraging for the present or future. "We have DO experienced special po lice employed at a cost of nearly 1300 dally. These were collected from many cities of the Coast and have done more executive work more Intelligently than 300 citlxens. "Of our 12 mills nine are now In op eration under three-quarter service and will be continued if we can secure more white" men. The Creeks or Austrians are not permanent residents. Some of the Finns are married men with fam ilies, yet It Is among them that the trouble appears to have its beginning. The citizens' committee of Aberdeen Is sponsor for an appeal for Americans to come to Aberdeen to work In the mlljs and bring their families with them. It guarantees permanent Jobs, with full protection. "When tte men left the mills and a strike was declared, there was no de mand for an Increase In wsges or any other demand. I am under t:ie Impres sion that we shall later have more se rious trouble along the same lines and Its center mar not, be at Aberdeen. From conversation with some of the members of the I. W. W. It seems to be a world-wide movement. Some say It Is on the line of Socialism and others that It Is anarehistlc.' but when asked direct questions as to their principles they do not know what It means. "Temporarily Aberdeen has the sit uation under full control. "As long as I am Mayor of Aberdeen and nerve the support now given me. the I. V. W. will not make Its perma nent residence In my city."

Roosevelt leaders are serving notice day by day that they will contest the election of Taft delegates In a majority of the districts where Roose Telt candidates failed of selection and Taft delegates were elected to the Chl raio convention. This Is true In the South, where Taft sentiment Is shown to be strong: It is true in Indiana, where Taft won In the primaries over Roosevelt, and It will be true In many other states, .particularly states where Roosevelt was supposed to be strong. Why all these contents? Why should the Indiana delegates, for instance, be challenged when they were chosen at a popular primary and the popular vote was for the Taft men? Why should Southern delegates, chosen and in structed, as were the delegates instruct ed for Taft four years ago. and. for Roosevelt in 1904, be challenged by the men who used them In their own inter est In Ihe two preceding campaigns? BoltaK latrat Suspected. The wholesale manner In which the Roosevelt managers are preparing to contest Taft delegates regularly chosen has given rise to the suspicion that these contests are to be used as the basis of a bolt from the Chicago con vention. The contests will be decided by the Republican National Commit tee. That committee, as- was demon strated at Its meeting In Washington in December. Is overwhelmingly in favor of Taft. It requires no second bight to see that this committee, will refuse to unseat regularly elected Taft delegates In order to seat contesting Roosevelt delegates, where the Roosevelt people have no ground on which (to stand. There may be a few instances where contests will succeed. It If can be shown that. Taft delegates were not properly chosen, but It Is not to be pr''sumed that the National Committee will un seat regularly chosen Taft delegates by the score merely to qufct the clamor of the Roosevelt managers. Bluff PersHStrs C'ampalga. Either this Is the parposo of the Roosevelt campaign managers, or else, by bringing contests from all parts of the country, they hope to force the Taft managers Into compromising with them and seating several of the-, contesting Roosevelt delegates whec the facts do not warrant such action. The Roose velt campaign thus far has been run largely on bluff and It may be that theso contests are Initiated as a Bluff. Some of the President's closest friends do not take this view, but rather In cline to the opinion that Roosevelt Is really laying plans to run as an Inde pendent candidate. Thla plan Is the more likely to be fol lowed If the Baltimore convention nom inates a conservative Democrat, for In that event Roosevelt would undoubted ly poll many radical Democratic votes In November. DEPOPULATION IN FRANCE The Jnetion DUcnsd From Many Point of Vletv. North American Review. In thla ear. 1912, less than 100.000 living babies will be born to the 4,000, 000 of France. This Is the problem of French de population In a nutshell. It Is the most significant fact In French life. In no other country In the world Is the birth rate so low. In no other country In the world has the, birth-rate fallen so rapidly and so stoadlly. Not everywhere In France has the birth-rate declined equally. In a few departments It has actually increased. There are more children per family In the maritime Alps, in the mining dis tricts about Calais, or among the peas ants of Brittany than there are in Nor mandy or on the banks of the X3aronne. If. however, you take an average thous and of the French population, you will find an annual birth of only 30 babies. How low this birth .rate la may be seen by comparing It with that of other countries. In bO governments of Euro pean Russia the birth rate exceeds 48. in other words, there are more than 4S annual births per thousand of the population compared to the 20 of France. In Bulgaria there are over 41, In Roumanla 40. In Servia 39. in Hun gary 37, in Austria 35, In Germany 34. In Spain 14, In Chili 37, in Argentine 35. In Italy. Japan. Finland, Holland. Por tugal, Uruguay, there are frojn 30 to 31 births per thousand of the popula tion. Denmark's birth rate is 29: Swe den's Is 2. In England there are over 27 births per thousand: In Australia over 26: in New Zealand almost 27. Except for Ireland and certain -American states (Maine. Vermont, Connecti cut. Michigan).- do country nearly ap proaches the very low birth rate of France. The low birth rate Is due to the fact, not that the people do not marry, but that they marry and have few children. During the first ten years of the nlne ..nih rntiirr thr were four legiti mate living children to each marriage In France: In the fourth decade there 1 were only 3.1 such children; in j.he J ninth decade only 3: while In 1910 there were only 2.4 legitimate living children per marriage. For every thorfsaud mar ried women In Holland It was recently found that -f6 legitimate living chil dren were born annually: In Prussia, Bavaria, Norway, Scotland. Saxony. Austria, Italy, Finland, Ireland. Servia, Belgium, Denmark. Sweden. Switzer land, Austria-Hungary, the number of such children born to each thousand married women within these ages' ranged from 265 to 224: in France dur ing the same period, the number was only 150. and today It is still smaller. For all these countries except France, a child Is born, once In every three and one-half years of wedlock: in France,. a child is born once In seven years. Nor is the low birth rate of France due t any physical sterility. A com-, parlson was recently made of the num bers of centlrely childless households in Paris, Berlin and Rio Janeiro. Of all marriages whiclv had lasted from 15 to 20 years 11.8 per cent, had been junfrult ful In the Brazilian city,-12.8 per cent. In the German city, and only 13.3 per cent, in the French city. Tuberculosis and alcoholism, which are prevalent in France, may lower the quality of chil dren, but do not necessarily lessen their number. In Canada the French have proved that they are not incapable of bearing children. The reduced birth rate of France is voluntary, not com pulsory. EUGENICS WRITER HERE l.A KKIXK HELEN BARER GUEST OF MKS. COMEKFOKD. Nled Antlior and Magazine Writer lo Be Guest of Suffrage League Tomorrow. La Reine Helen Baker, author and magazine writer of National reputation, who has been visiting in the city for the past few days, will be the guest of honor at a dinner to be given tomorrow noon at the Multnomah Hotel by the women of the National College Equal Suffrage League. Mrs. Baker at pres ent is staying with Mrs. Sarah K. Comerford, who.' while president of the National College Equal Suffrage League at Spokane, became an Intimate friend of the author. Mrs. Baker has written a number of works, principally on eugenics, t-' which she Is an ardent advocate, and Is on the staff of writers for the Hearst Sunday papers. She also does much magazine work. sh hi, rAcpntlv returned from a ' two years' tour of the world. She passed six months In London on her latest tour, and while there participated In the street demonstrations of the militant suffragists. ' She has Just completed a new book on eugenics and lits disposed of the manuscript to an Eastern publisher. The book will deal with her observa tions while traveling In Europe and will present conditions as she found them and the various phases of their relations to practical eugenics. Among the conclusions she draws are that by the elimination of segregation of the sexes In schools, the teaching of social hygiene and the placing of women on an equal plane with men by enfranchising them. Immorality will gradually be abolished from society. She will also show why criminals. Imbeciles and the Insane should be sterilised and nfedlral examinations takeij before marriage. WOMAN'S B0DY 4 FOUND Mrs. McGrath, Who Disappeared Inst Summer, Taken From Klver. BEND. Or., April 10. (Special.) fish ermen out after Deschutes trout came upon an unexpected find Sunday after noon in that river two miles below Bend In the body of a woman, later Identified as that of Mrs. Tom Mc Grath. who mysteriously disappeared July 1. Mrs. L. C. Fleming, while following along the banks of the stream with her rod. made the gruesome discovery, her attention being attracted by a small bottle lying near the water's edge, with a cork close besido it. The body was lodged against rocks and logs, and al though it had remained In the icy water for over eight months was In a well preserved condition. That the dead woman had taken poi son to make her death doubly certain was shown by the empty phial, which had contained chloroform. From rags tied to nearby bushes It also appeared that she desired searchers to be led to the spot where she 'plunged into the river. When Mrs. McGrath disappeared last Summer she left a letter accusing her husband of mistreating her, saying he led her a "John L. Sullivan life." In the letter she announced that she would commit suicide, but as she had made similar threats before, and because no trace of her was found by searching parties, the theory was abandoned and instead It was believed that she simply had deserted her abusive husband. The dead woman is survived by a mother In Denver. Colo., and by her husband. Tom Mi-Grath, who slipped away some months after her disappearance, and Is said to be at or near Nooksack, Wash. A WOMAN'S ALGIERS The Latter Not Safe for Exploration Without Ex-ort. Scrlbncr's. No foreigner knows what the Arab does; to a few has It been given to un derstand what he thinks; within his house he Is as much master in Algiers as he is In Mecca, so long as he avoids the appearance of what the lnndel calls evil, and so long as he compiles with certain demands, equally foolish and outrageous to'hini. in respect to regis tration, vaccination, sanitation, and the like. There is no shs.rp boundary be tween the two communities: If you fol low a street far enough you pass the Imperceptible frontier. "After so many years." says M. Fromentin, "there are no barriers between the two cities ex cept those of suspicion and antipathy existing between the two races, , but those suftlce to separate them. They touch one another, they live in the closest companionship, but neither meet nor mingle except In the worst of each the dirt of their gutters and their vices." To any one who has ever seen for a moment behind the veil of native life there Is something almost terri fying abort the impenetrable mystery of these silent houses. Things happen there, and human nature assumes as pects there, of which the Western world never dreams. I confess to being un easy when I see careless and Ignorant Westerners certainly when I see West ern women walking alone in the na tive quarters of Eastern towns. Sup pose one of those dark doors should open suddenly, the stranger be dragged quietly within and the door shut? That stransOr might disappear forever with out leaving a single trace. It would be useless to search, unless the authori ties were prepared to ransack every house, to Its most private apartments, in a whole district, and to do that would be. If not to provoke a revolt, at least to stir up such dangerous unrest and hostility as to make It Impossible, A Blue Ribbon Lunch Pabst BlueRibbon The Beer of Quality TN the dining car, ' at the club, or wherever beer, is served, you will always find PABST Blue Ribbon the favorite with those who insist ' on quality.

A MODEL CITY FATHER Ten Portrait of William Butler Dun can, of New York. Metropolitan Magazine. Sincfe the death of John BIgelow. at the ripe old age of 94, there has been a certain amount of discussion as to the rights of succession to his title of New York's premier citizen. Many have been disposed to attribute it to Joseph H. Choate, the former Ambassador of the United States, to Great Britain, and who In January' celebrated his 80th birthday, in the enjoyment of wonder ful physical and mental vigor. But there are still more. Including Mr. Choate himself, who Insist on as cribing the honor to William Butler Duncan, the senior of the former Am bassador to England, by several years, who for half a century has most appro priately made his home at 1 Fifth ave nue a house renowned through several generations, here and abroad, for its kindly hospitality, and where well nigh every distinguished foreigner who has visited New York since "befo" the wah" has had the opportunity of stretching his legs beneath that wonderful ma hogany table which is one of the feat ures of the establishment. The fact that the very first call made by the Duke of Connaught on reaching New York in January last, was at 1 Fifth avenue, serves to revive memories of his previous stay in New York, in 1868, when he made his headquarters there. Kight years previously, that Is to say. In 1860, Mr. Duncan had headed, the committtee of New York citizens or ganized for the purpose of welcoming King Edward, as Prince of Wales, to this city. , Mr. Duncan still makes a practice of going down town every day. no matter what the weather, to the offices of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, of which he has been president for some 40 years, and his family have the greatest diffi culty in persuading him to wear an overcoat, even in the coldest weather. When he does yield to them, he only consents to don an overcoat so thin that it has often made me shiver, while his New England luncheon.in which d and foul gases: that pain in the pit .0 n.ioa Kioatinir after eating, feel- acOie, means indigestion; a disordered til you. remove the cause.

The 3-year-old child of Albert Stepp, living two miles from Canton, Texas, fell feet foremost in a 1.1-inch bored well 60 feet deep. By the use of a mirror the child could be Keen, and the little fellow was constantly crylnsr and calling to his praiidpa to come and get him. The grandparents, and parents were wild with excitement, and over come with grief at their inability to af ford Immediate succor. Forty or fifty men and women were soon gathered, all anxious to get a loop over the child to draw it out. bnt with ho avail. A negro bov 1 years old was let down, and, getting the child by the sleeve. both were drawn up half way. The sleeve gave way and the child fell back to the bottom. All were horror-stricken for fear the fall would certainly kill the child. Then they tied a rope to the leg of the nesro boy and let him down head first. He put the loop of a rope about the child's body, and then the two were drawn out separatoly. The miraculous part of the incident is that the child was only bruised a little and not seriously injured. We have Scissor and Shears that axe made richt made for real work beautifully finished.
