PROM out of the Far West President
Tft has ' chosen a Cabinet officer.
Richard A. Ballinger will sbe the
next next Secretary of the Interior. The
appointment is recognized first as a
tribute to the sterling qualities of the
man chosen and second as a fine com
pliment to the great Northwest, a sec
tion rarely favored in such appointments.
That Richard A. Ballinger did not at
any time seek the place to. which he has
been elevated, hut. on the contrary, ac
cepted it at considerable sacrifice, break
ing relations with his law firm that
meant more money in Seattle than a
Cabinet job in Washington, are rome of
the hings best known by his friend.
.His ability as a man with a fine legal
and execitlve sense was recognized as
Commissioner of the land Office under
the retiring Secretary of the Interior,
James R. Garfield, and many weeks be
fore he was called to Washington to as
Fume the duties imposed upon him there,
lie had made a name for himself at the
Washington bar. Twice he held Su
perior Court judgeships. Jefferson and
Clallam counties, and at one time he
was the executive head of the City of
Seattle.
The eyes of the West will be upon
Judge Ballinger since the stories of as
tounding thefts of the public lands will
doubtless come in for probing at the
hands of his department. It will fall
to the lot of Judge Baillnger to handle
these gigantic frauds and swindles and
see that the Government recovers what
It seems now to have lost through the
operations of powerful corporations and
influences which even appear to have a
root In the National Capital. That this
will be no small task Is evidenced by the
fact that the retiring Secretary has
asked for an appropriation of $1,000,000
to prosecute the work.
Judge Ballinger is a man of the West
and of Western ways and means. He
is that much of a Westerner that he
knows the feel of the lariat and the
rollicking bow back of the burking
bronco. It is as one of the pleasant
things of his life that Judge Ballinger
looks hack upon as he recalls his cowboy
days, when he was hut 15 years old, on
the plains of Kansas in 187:1. At one
time duting his career as a cowboy he
was almost killed by a fractious horse.

AND the child grew and waxed
strong, filled with wisdom: and
the grace of God was upon him.
And his parents went every year to
Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
And when he was 12 years old, they
went up after the custom of the feast,
and when they had fulfilled the days,
as they were returning, the boy Jesus
tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his
parents know it not; but supposing him
to be in the company, they went a day's
Journey; and they sought for hfm
among their kinsfolk and acquaint
ance; and when -they found him not,
they returned to Jerusalem, seeking
for him.
And it came to pass, after three days
they found him in the temple, sitting in
the midst of the teachers, both hearing
them, and asking them questions; and
all that .heard him were amazed at his
understanding and his answers.
And when they saw him, they were
astonished; and his mother said unto
him: Son, why hast thou thus dealt
with us? behold, they father and I
sought thee sorrowing.
And he said unto them. How is it
that ye sought me? knew ye not that I
must be in my father's house?
And they understood not the saying !
wtiicn he spake unto them.
And he went down with them, and
came to Nazareth: and he was subject
unto them; and his mother kept all
these sayings in her heart.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and
men.
His Forerunner.
And John come into all the region
round about the Jordan, preaching the
baptism of repentance unto remission
of fins: and saying: Repent ye; for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
And there went out to him all the
country of Judea, and all they of Jeru
salem, and they were baptized of him in
the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
But when he saw many of the Phari
sees and Sadducees coming to his bap
tism he eald unto them, Te offspring of
vipers, who warned you to flee from the
wrath to come? Bring forth therefore
fruits worthy of repentance and begin not
to say within yourselves. We have Abra
ham to our father; for I say unto you,
that God is able of those stones to raise
up children unto Abraham. And even
now the axe also lieth at the root of the
trees: every tree therefore that bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down and
cast Into the fire.
And the multitudes asked him, eaylng,
f'hat then must we do?
And he answered and said unto them.
He that hath two coats, let him impart
to him that hath none, and he that hath
food, let him do likewise.
And there came also publicans to be
baptized and they said unto him. Teach
er. what must we do?
And he said unto them. Exort no more
than that which Is appointed you.
And soldiers also asked him. saying.
And we. what mist we do?
And he said unto them. Extort from no
man .by violence, neither accuse any one
wrongfully; and . be content with your
wages.
And as the people were in expecta
tion, and all men reasoned , in their
hearts concerning John, .whether haply
he were the Christ; John answered, say
ing unto them all. I Indeed baptize you
with water; but there cometh he that is
mightier than I, the latchet of whose
shoes. I : am not worthy to unloose; he
shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and
In fire; whose fan is in his hand, thor
oughly to cleanse his threshing floor,
but the chaff he will burn up with un
quenchable fire.

fore preached he good tidings unto the
people.
And it came to pass in those days,
when all the people were baptized that
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to
the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of
him.
But John would have hindered him.
saving. I have need to be bantized of
thee, and comest thou to me? 1
But Jesus answering said unto him.
Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to
fulfill all righteouseness.
Then he suffereth him. And Jesus,
when he was baptized, went up straight
way from the water: and lo, the heavens
were opened unto him. and he saw the
Spirit of God descending as a dove, and
coming upon him; and lo. a voice out of
the heavens, saying. This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased.
A Time of Testing.
Then straightway was Jesus led up
of the Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil, and he was with
the wild beasts, and did eat nothing in
those days. And when he had fasted
forty days and forty nights, he after
ward hungered.
And the tempter came and said unto
him. If thou art the Son of God, com
mand that these stones become bread.
But he answered and said. It is writ
ten. Man shall not live by bread alone.,
but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God.
Then the devil taketh him into the
holy city; and he set him on the pinna
cle of the temple, and saith unto him.
If thou art the Son of God. cast thy
self down; for it Is written:
He shall give his angel charge con-
-. cerning thee, to guard thee.
and
On their hands they shall bear thee up.
Lest haply thou dasli thy foot against
a stone.
Jesus said unto him. Again it is writ
ten. Thou shalt not make trial of the
Lord thy God.
Again, the devil taketh him unto an
exceeding higli mountain, and showeth
him all the kingdoms of the world in a
moment of time, and the glory of them.
And the devil said unto him. To thee
will J give all this authority, and the
glory of them: for it hath been deliv
ered unto me; and to whomsoever I
will I give It. If thou therefore wilt
worship before me. it shall all be thine.
Then saith Jesus unto him. Get thee
hence, Satan; for it is written. Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.
And when the devil had completed
every temptation, he departed from
him for a season; and behold, angels
came and ministered unto him.
Karly Converts.
And passing along by the Sea of
Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the
brother of Simon, casting a net in the
sea; for they were fishers. And Jesus
said unto them. Come ye after me, and
I will make you to become fishers of
men. And straightway they left the
nets and followed him. And going
on a little further, he saw James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
who also were in the boat mending
the nets. And straightway he called
them: and they left their father Zebe
dee in the boat with the hired servants
and went after him.
And Jesus went forth again by the
sea side: and all the multitude re
sorted unto him. and he taught them.
And as he passed by he saw a man,
called Levi Matthew, the son of Al
phaeus. sitting at the place of toll,
and he saith unto him. Follow me.
And he forsook all. and arose and
followed him.
And Levi made a great feast in his
house. And there was a great multi
tude of publicans and sinners that
were sitting at meat with Jesus and his
disomies.
And when the Pharisees saw it, they
said unto -his disciples. Why eatetli
your Teacher with the publicans and
sinners?

Richard A. Ballinger began the study
of law in Chicago, and from Chicago
he went to Kankakee. 111., where ho
was elected City Attorney, and follow
ing his term of office there he moved
to Decatur, Ala., where he was elected
to a similar position. ) At the close of
his office there he started for the Pa
cific Coast, taking up bis residence at
Port Townsend In the Winter of 1889.
His family followed the next year.
It was while he was attending, col
lege that he met Miss Julia Bradley,
who Is now Mrs. Ballinger. They have
two boys. Kdward B.. now a student at
19 years of age in the same college
from whch his father and mother
graduated, and Talcott Ballinger. 10
years old. Their home life is described
as ideal. Mrs. Ballinger being of the
home Instinct class of women, who
commands a high respect of all who
know her.
Following his residence in Port

terms as Superior Judge of the joint

that he went out into the mountain to

from them twelve, that they might be
with him. and that he might send them
forth to preach, and to have authority
to cast out demons.
Now the names of the twelve apos

named Peter, and Andrew, his brother;
James, the son of Zebedee. and John
his brother, and them he surnamed

Philip and Bartholomew: Thomas and
Matthew the publican: James the son
of Alphaeus. and Thaddaeus: Simon,
who was called the Zealot, and Judas
Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Love for the Masses.
And Jesus went about all the cities
and the villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing all man
ner of disease and all manner of sick
ness. But when he saw the multi
tudes he was moved with compassion
for them, because they were distressed
and scattered, as sheep not having a
shepherd. '
Then saith he unto his disciples. The
harvest indeed is plenteous, but the
laborers are few. Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest, that he send
forth laborers Into his harvest.

And he said unto them. But who say

And Simon Peter answered and said.

The Transfiguration.
And it came to pass about eight days
after these sayings, that he took with
him Peter and John and James, and went
up into the mountain to pray. And as
he was praying he wavs transfigured be

sun and his garments became glistening

And behold, there talked with him

appeared in glory, and spake of his de
cease which he was about to accom
plish In Jerusalem.
Now Peter and they that were with
him .were heavy with sleep: but when
they were fully awake, they saw hi
glory and the two men that stood with
him. And it came to pass, as they were
parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus.

Jesus and Childhood.
And they were bringing unto him little
children, that he should touch them, and
the disciples rebuked them. But when
Jesus saw it. he was moved with Indig

children to come unto me; forbid them
not; for to such belongeth the kingdom
of God. Verily I say unto you. whoso
ever shall not receive the kingdom of God

again he was drafted Into the public
service and was appointed Commis
sioner of the General Iand Office by
President Roosevelt. He remained in
that position for one year and then

urged strongly many times to become
a candidate for Governor of Washing

the Scandinavian-American Bank, of
this city, has materially assisted in the
upbuildlndC of that institution. He has
been a member of its board of directors
for several years.
Judge Ballinger has not been a bril
liant figure at any time in public life:
that Is to say, what he has done has
never heen of the glaring order.
His one best point, as attributed by
a close friend, is that he has the fac
ulty of knowing how to keep still and

The young ruler saith unto him. All

And Jesus, looking upon him. loved him.
and said unto him: One thing thou lack-

little of stature. And he ran on before,
and climbed up into a sycamore tree to
see him: for he was to pass that way.
And when Jesus came to the place, he

And he made haste, and came down.

And when they saw it. thev all mur

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto
the Lord. Behold. Lord, the half of mv
goods I give to the poor: and if I have
wrongfully exacted aught of any man. I
restore fourfold.
And Jesus said unto him. Todav Is

Great Laws of Life.
And one of the scribes came, and heard
them questioning together, and knowing
that he had answered them well, asked
him. What commandment is the first of
all?
Jesus answered, the first is. Hear. O
Israel: The Lord our God. the Lord is
one; and thou shalt love the Lord thy
Ood with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul. and with all thy mind, and with all
thy strength. The second Is this. Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There
is none other commandment greater than
these."
And the scribe said unto him. Of a
truth. Teacher, thou hast well said that
he is one: and there Is none other, but
he; and to love him with all 'the heart,
and with all the understanding and with
all the strength, and to love his neigh
bor as himself. Is much more than all

And when Jesus saw that he answered
discreetly, he said unto him. Thou art

LOSS OF CROCKER PEARLS
STIRS BAY CITY SOCIETY
Social Feud. Follows Loss of Jewels, Rival Cliques Expressing Many Opin
ions Hearst Strikes Some Snags in New Circulation Scheme.
SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. March 6.
(Sppcial. LrfiL-al society has been
having its Innings for the pait 10
davs. and there have been several shocks I
to those who are within the sacred pre
cincts of the '4.00." In fact, this same so
ciety has been monopo!iinif the public
print to an extended degree, and for once
has attained more publicity than It really
enjoys. The flies started when Miss Jen
nie Crocker lost a $30.ono rope of pearlsat
the Colonial Mardt ball quite recently.
Miss Crocker is a daughter of the late
Colonel Charlee Frederick Crocker and
a member of one of the oldest families
In the state, eo that the mention of the
loss was sufficient to stir interest in the
affair. m
For a full 24 hours after the mask
bnl! that was held at the Fairmont.
Miss Crocker was decidedly quiet a to
her loss. Of course It was known to a
few. but society wasn't anxious for news
paper notices on this particular subject,
and thought possibly the necklace would
be found. When there was no trace of.
the heirloom the police were notified,
and then the story broke"' in full force.
Private detectives by the score were en
cased, and the city's "lineet" entered
the search.
Naturally enough every mornlnK paper
in San Francisco had the flower of its
staff at work on the job. and a irood Joke
is told on the three city editors, each
one of whom fondly imapined for a few
hours that he had a "scoop" that would
make somebody.'s hair stand on end.
But although everybody who could sret
Inside the Fairmont searched, and though
every one of the 72 servant who were
ensaired to assist on that evening was
called up and examined, nothing- has yet
come If It. While there are some wno
cling to the theory that a criminal, a
sort of modem Raffles, enRineered the
deal, a majority of the detectives take
the view that Misn Crocker s pearls
broke from the gold strand, and that
they were picked up by a servant, who.
discovering1 their value, decided to keep
them.
Despairing of securing their -return In
any other fashion, a reward of 1 has
been offered, and It Is promised that no
question will be asked. Furthermore,
there Is a reward of tH for information
that will lead to their recovery. The
officers thought this would bring back
the niissins pearls, or that at all events,
there would be a telephone message
that would help, but up to date the
mystery Is as thick as ever.
-
Apropos of the affair, there W a good
story being- told on th Bearchers. The
morning after the rohbery an enterpris
ing pawnbroker decided, as he had a
lot of imitation pearls, that It would lie
a good chance to sell them. Accordingly,
he. advertised in a morning paper that
he 1iad a number of fine pearls that
wouM be sold separately. He didn't ive
his address, but requested anwers by
letter to the newspaper ofllce. Detec
tives and newspaper men hung around
that - business oftlce for four hours and
when they discovered the facts they
.were as mad as a lot of wet hens.
Mies Crocker, apparently. Instead of
being condoled with over her loes. is
"being" criticised In some quarters for not
having kept her lips sealed. "Mrs. Ous
Spreckels lost a diamond sunburst." re
marks one of the local weeklies." hut
she didn't make any fuss over It. She
merely said It was of no consequence,
and dropped the matter."
So It is plain to be seen that Miss
Crocker is accused of not having the
proper sporting- blood.
Incidentally. the Colonial ball hn
widened the breach in local circles. The
promoter of this swell ' affair, as the
exporting- reporter would say. is Mrs. C.
O. Alexander, who Is endeavoring to
wrest from Ned Greenway the social
scepter of Ban Francisco. Ned. for many
years the leader, gave his annual dance
