The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-01-21

The TIMES has received a
private letter from Judge K
Parish in which he says that
while he appreciates the sugges-
ton which has been made that
he becC me a candidate for as
sociate justice of the supreme
court of the state of Wisconsin,
still at the same time he has de-
termined not to enter the race.
The Judges many friends in
this section of the state i'll re-
greet very much such a determin-
alton, and will hope that the de-
mand which is being made upon
him by his friends and admirers
may induce change in his de-
termination. 1t would be a
genuine pleasure for the people
of this circuit to cast their
ballots for their circuit judge
for this advancement.

enlighten the voters regarding
the matter. The future of
Washburn is greatly concerned
in this matter, and if there is
any good reason why we should
havea different form of govern
ment from that of any other
town of our population in the
United States then the time has
arrived for people to know what
that reason is. It is the general
idea that laws for the govern
ment of cities are made for
places like Washburn, and if
there is any reason for US to
continue the use Of a different
form of laws and of government
than those governing all larger
places, then let US have those
reasons. THE TIMES believes
that the time has passed when
town and village laws are apple
able to the government of place
like Washburn. The question is
TO come up for the people to de-
eide in the course of a few weeks,
and in the mean time the columns
of this paper are open to each
and every person who will fairly
and impartially discuss the pro
posed change in form of govern
ment, no matter whether they
are for or opposed to the senti-
ment which will govern the
policy and the vote of the editor
of this paper. Let's have the
whole story-and both sides OF
it.

INCORPORATION OF WAsHBURN.

The Committees appointed a
week ago to get the matter of
incorporation of Washburn into
a city are at work, and the ques-
ton will reach vote of the peo-
pie in due time. 1t is altogether
probable that opposition to tht-
plan will be urged from som,
quarters, and it should be IT,
aim of all voters to look fairly
into the question and cast bal
lot representing their thought.
So far as The TINES is con
cerned we have no heSitancy in
being assed among those who
are Of the opinion that Washburn
ought to become city, and we
will make our reasons known for
this belief when the question
comes before the people.
There should not be any attempt
on the part of any one to work
upon the prejudice of the people,
and a fair discussion of the
question by all classes of people
will serve in the best manner to

PUT AN END TO WARS.

A MORE notable line of world
known prominent men has sell
dom been seen by any audience
than the one which sat upon the
stage of the Lafayette Opera
House in the national capitol Oh
the 9th inst, when the great
mass meeting of the National
Arbitration Conference was in
session. The great authority on
information law, Jown ". Foster,
presided, with hair and whiskers
as white as the new fallen snow,
and blushing at the compliments
h capped upon him. At bis right
was Cardinal Gibbons, wearing
a scarlet skull-cap, and looking
quite delicate; next to him was
the Jewish Rabbi, DR.. Silver
man from New York, a tall we'll
groomed man, incisive and cult
waited; by his side the vigorous
and eloquent Southern lawyer,
Hon. J. M. Dickinson, in the
prime of life and looking too
young to'have carried a rifle in
theCivi Il War. At the left Of the
chairman sat DR.. Edward E.
Hale, Chaplain of the Senate, as
rugged, and shaggy as to hair
and whlskers as a lion. Then
came Andrew Carnegie, pale and
bald headed but with a keen
look in his dark eyes, and full Of
life. Last in the row was Gen.
Miles, the gigantic, well-pre-
served fighting man, who has
even as many battles as any one
living. Each of these men as
they rose to speak, was greeted
with abundant applause. TIE
speeches we're all in favor of
putting an end to war by the
means of international arbitra-
ton, and especially advocated a
treaty of arbitration between
America and England. The
resolutions adopted were pre-
sented to Congress and the Presi-
dent.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-01-21

AT the public mass meeting
last week attention was called by
some of the citizens to the
dangerous condition Of the Gar
field school ana the Opera House,
in case of fire. It is said that in
case of fire in the basement of
the Garfield school that escape
for the children would be prac-
tically shut off, while the condi-
ton of the Opera House is fully
as bad. The old town hall also
came in for criticism as fire
trap. The school and town boards
have authority over at least two
of these buildings and should
see to it that provision is made
to make them safe in case of fire.
The owners Of the Opera House
should also see to it that some
improvements in the way of
safety in case of fire is made IN
their building.

CHAIRMAN BRYANT, of the re
publican state cen trail commit
tee, in ar interview with the
Evening Wisconsin, expressed it
as his opirion that the repubIi-
can state convention for the
nomination of state ticket
would be held in May. From
this it is to be inferred that the
central committee will bunch
the conventions us ually called
separately for the election Of
delegates to the national cOnven
ton with that for the purpose of
nominating a state ticket. This
proposition has been suggested
from time to time, and many
mem bers of the party are of the
opinion that it is good policy,
irrespective of their fractional
preferences, but there is good
ly representation of republicans
who are inclined to believe that
the holding of an early conven-
ton looks like an attempt to get
"quick action" before any change

HEARST AND THE PRESIDENCY.

THERE is a small panic in demo
cratic national circles owing to
the attempts being made by
William r. Hearst to purchase
the nomination for the presi-
dency. Mr. Hearst is a bright
young man who has Ii ade sew
al million dollars running a class
of newspapers that are not lit
to go into any home in the United
States. He is a breeder of dis
sension, and has gained a strong
foothold with his ''yellow"
sheets owing to bis attempts to
arrange class against class, and
to broaden the breech between
capitol and labor in the country.
Every private scandal in the
: United States is heralded broad
cast through his newspapers.
He made a strong attempt to
secure the national convention
in Chicago as he believed that
to be his stronghold of power
But the national committee.
would not stand for this and
transferred the convention to
st. Louis. Ten minutes later,
according TO the press dis
patches, Mr.. Hearst had given
his orders to start great daily
newspaper in St. Louis-one Of
those kind which he has in diff
ferent parts of the country.
Hearst can make no special
claim for his candidacy. Viewed
from the same horoscope with
such men as Cleveland, German,
Hill, Bryan, Parker, Villas and
thousands of other good demo
Gratis, he becomes Insignificant.
But he has untold wealth and is
willing to sacrifice it to satisfy
his ambition to attain the presi.
dency. No man ever has bought
the presidential nomina tion in
the United States and no man
ever can-not even the demo
cracy in it's present straits
would permit it to be said that
they had sacrificed the nomina-
ton of their party for a bag of
gold. No, the nominee of the
democratic party will not be Mr..
Hearst, but 1T will be some man
who-like Bryan and Cleveland,
have proven that they possessed
sufficient intellectual ability and
craftsmanship to ill the position
should they be chosen by the
people or the country. Inc
business interests and the inter
ests of labor in the United States
could not possibly receive a
greater blow than the nomina-
ton of man like Mr.. Hearst.
And the presidential nomination
never will be buffeted' about by
either the republican or demo
cratic party to such men. There
is too much Americanism in the
country to permit such an aw-
full national calamity in political
affairs.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-01-21

in public sentiment can be made
throughout the state, and in the
interests of some Of the candi-
dates for political preferment.
A May convention would be two
or three months earlier than it
is customary to hold them in
Wisconsin.

MRS. ELIAS FREED.
Rearrested in Connection With Civil
Suit and Released on Bail.

New York, June 11.-Mrs. Hannah
Elias was discharged on motion of the
assistant district attorney at the con-
elusion Of testimony of John R. Platt,
the old millionaire. who caused her ar
rest for extortion.
Mr.. Platt proved a disappointing wit
ness. To questions bearing directly on
the charges on which the Woman's ar
rest had been made he answered re-
peatedly: i don't know" His helpless
ness and his apparently unreliable
memory surprised those who attended
his examination. He did not remem bar
whether he had given Mrs. Elias large
sums of money during the last ten
years as charged, and did not remem-
Der signing certain papers in eonnec-
ton with her charges against her.
The ordeal was a trying one for the
old man, and his replies became scarce
he had left the witness chair Assistant
District Attorney Rand said;
Your honor I think the parties to
this miserable scandal ought to be all
lowed to stew in their own grease.
There is no evidence before you that
will possibly serve to hold this woman
on charge of extortion. recommend
that she be discharged"
The magistrate thereupon discharged
the woman.
Immediately afterward Mrs. Elias was
feaFrested on writ in the civil suit
originally brought against her by Mr..
Ptatt to recover $685. 900. She was re-
leased few minutes later on $50, 600
bail and was escorted by detectives
through the crowded corridor of the
criminal court to the street where her
carriage was waiting. Several thou
sand persons, among them hundreds of
negroes attracted by the case thFenged
the building and stood crowded in the
street outside

TO SUCCEED KNOX,
Ambassador Choate Is Being Talked
of for Attorney General.

Washington. June u.-President
Roosevelt will probably select a sue
eessor for Attorney General Knox from
the state of New York The successor
ship was discussed from all viewpoints
at the cabinet meeting and the one
man in the presidents mind appeared
to be Joseph H. Choate, ambassador to
the court of st. James. Secretary Hay
did not think Mr.. Choate would accept
the Office and would prefer to remain
in his present position. 1t was suggest
ed that Mr.. Choate had been very sue
cessful as ambassador, had abundant
means to maintain his position and has
reached an age where leisure was at
tractiye. The president called atten-
ton on the other hand to the fact that
Mr.. Choate stood at the head of the
American bar and the possibility of
rounding out his career with a full
term as attorney general might appeal
to him.
The interview with General Knox in
/ which he refers to the antitrust policy
/ of the administration being distinctly
| Roosevelt's policy was referred to in all
gossip regarding the successorship.
/ Judge W. A. Day, assistant to the at
1 torney general, and Solicitor General
Henry M. Hoyt were frequently men
toned, but the report from the cabinet
meeting caused all speculation to be
| limited to a New York man.
