As a climax to the charges reflecting on the honor of Judge Mllo A. Root of the supreme court of Washington, the news of his resignation wu -received tn this city last nigbt. During the recent campaign charges were brought -which plaoe Judge Root and Judge Gordon In an unfavorable light in connection with alleged "Influ enced" decisions. Victim of Misfortune. Following Is the letter of resigna tion and statement of Judge Root: "To the Governor Sir: As 1 am on the eve of a serious operation for blood poisoning, which Is likely to confine me to my bed for some time to come. I beg to malts the following statement to you: " "For more than 20 years of a patient. Slodding career I have endeavored to o my duty by my fellow men and to commit no act of injustice to any one, least of all to taint in any way by my words or deeds the honor of the bench, which should, above all, be held In violable by every lover of liberty; yet, In spite of this, and in spite of my faith In the" Christian religion,', it has seemed to me that I have been spurned by the fates in a manner as grim as ever was set forth In a Greek tragedy. I will not recapitulate the events which have led to my present determination to end, as far as I can, the seeming act of the fates. "In my private life no man has-ever dared to cast any aspersions upon my character or my) professional reputa tion, but the instant I have taken office the ..thousand tongues of rumor-and scandal have started to besmear and be smirch me with their: foul utterances. "At different periods I have held the Offices of probate judge, prosecuting at torney and Judge of the supreme court. In each of these positions I have been attacked and have resisted attack suc cessfully, t My record has been before the public since territorial days, and it has been finally approved by the peop'e of this state by election to the high of fice with which I am now honored. , ' "But human nature has Its limits of endurance. The final linking of my name with a scandal attaching to a former justice or, tne supreme court, who lor years has been a warm, and as I be lieved a devoted friend of mine, Is the culmination or a series or calamities. Investigation Invited. . ' "My relations with Judge Gordon will bear the closest investigation and will reflect no more upon me tnat the in discretions of friendship. Yet I realised that for a justice of the supreme court there should exist not even an Indiscre tion, especially as I realise that any ref icetion en tiny, memoer casts a ctoua UDon the entire court: and I do not wish to be the means of casting any . such cloud even in the slightesT degree. Nor in i wilting to remain the innocent ciuse- of any lack of that reeneet and confidence which I know every one of my associates upon tne bencn to he rich ly entitled to. - t Therefore, for tha reasons herewith ?t forth, I respectfully beg to resign orthwlth as Judge-of the supreme court on tne state or wasnington. .

If the preliminary meeting Is Indica tive of the course to be pursued during the remainder of the investigation, It !s likely that the matter will be a purely "bar" affair, and all that the puhllo will learn will be the derision without any of the facts that led up to it. The committee Is evidently of the opinion that lc Is a matter which af rfcl".h.honnr 'Me profession." and that, this is paramount, overlooking the fact that the people of the state of Washington are intercsred in serious charges sgalnst Juflre on the bench of the. supreme court of the state.
