Open LETTER ADDRESSED tn
SE.ELLSW0RTH, JAMESTOWN

The trouble with Mr.. Ellsworth is,
that he himself, has political aspira-
tions, and he is grieved and sore, be-
cause he was not called to the su-
preme bench, instead of Judge Knauf.
Mr.. Ellsworth says "he has no criti-
cism of his work." referring to Judge
Knauf's professional ability. 'Tis we'll
he says SO. He has practised side by
side with him, and knows Judge
knauf's ability as a lawyer; he knows
Judge knauf is able, fearless and we'll
learned in the law. He says "his aims
have been political rather than judi
cial." Now. Mr.. Ellsworth, himself.
has had political aims" for six long
weary years, and he is no nearer the
darling goal of his ambition now. than
he was the first day he entered the
political arena.
have watched the practise of Judge
knauf in court, for fourteen years, and
have noticed that Mr.. Ellsworth, or
any other lawyer, had to hustle, when
opposed in court by Judge Knauf;
and somehow he was always loaded
with the law and blazed his way to
success, in court with this weapon.
How little Mr. Ellsworth must have
sought information about the conven-
tion, when Judge Knauf was nomin-
ated, he says, "the nomination was
claimed as reward for past services
and that his legal qualifications were
not at ISSUE" 1t was in the lobby
of the hotel that w. E. Purcell of Wah-
peton, an able lawyer and a demo-
crat, said "Knauf has the ability to
fill the place on the bench: he is a
clean young man and good lawyer" F"
Mr.. Ellsworth shows his political feel
ing" when he says "Knauf's election
means an endorsement of the prin-
ciple that the highest officers of the
state may be elected without regard
to their fitness;;" yet, In his opening
TRADE, he would not criticise his work
as a lawyer.

knauf on local political issues. but
those questions have been settled, are
past and forgotten; and the issue now
before us. is his pre-eminent fitness
for the high Office to which he aspires.
The only way to judge a man is by
his daily life and his daily actions; I
have known Judge Knauf intimately
for fourteen years; we have been
neighbors, friends and practitioners at
the bar. AS a neighbor | have found
him to be generous and open-hearted.
interested in the welfare of others; he
has always been a ready friend to the
needy and helpless; he is clean and
temperate in his habits and loves his
home and family. At the bar. ! have
found him to he an able and learned
lawyer, successful in his practice and
true to his clients, and a profound
student of the law.
The question naturally arises among
those Of the legal profession, who are
not in politics, by what judicial ex-
perience on the bench, has Mr.. Ellis
worth right to say, or pass on the
qualifications of those selected to sit
on the supreme bench of this state.
If 1t has come to this, why not have
the legislature pass bill for Mr.. Ellis
worth's special benefit. comforting up
on him for life the title of Judicial
Examiner" since he can get nothing
else in the way of judicial honor,
whose duty it shall be, to examine all
aspiring candidates for the bench, and
ascertain, whether or not their "aims"
are political or judicial. Since we
have public examiners and bank ex-
aminers, and all other kinds of "ex-
aminers" let's have Judicial Ex-
aminer" and thus give Mr.. Ellsworth
an Office and title commendable to
his "aims" politically and judicially,
and thus appease his wrath and per-
haps he will then permit Judge Knauf
to pursue the even tenor of his way.
Yours truly,
JAMES A. MURPHY.

QUEEN W|LHELM|NA
Physicians Ordered Diversions
for Melancholia But Moth
ing Interests Queen.


A.sociated Press Cable to The Evening
TimeA
Dresden, Oct. 24.-Queen Wilhel-
NINA of the Netherlands, accompanied
by the Prince Consort. has taken up
her residence at Albrechtsberg, very
near this city. She comes for treat
ment by specialist and "for rest"
she says sadly.
Twice the young queen, the last of
the house of Orange. has disappointed
her loving subjects, who had hoped
for an heir to the throne. Now the
tragedy Of her life, with its SORROWS
and disillusions, is written on her face.
Her worn and depressed air excites
pity wherever she is seen in public
AS all the world knows, she chose
her husband from among all the
eligible young princes of Europe. It
Is no secret that his conduct has done
much to sadden her.
To divert her from her respondent
tendency her physician has ordered
her to live in the open air as much
as possible, and she is out every day.
Her ladies and attendants invent all
kinds of little entertainments for her.
But the young queen seems a prey
to melancholy, and turning every
where a weary, absent gaze, shows
no real interest in her surroundings.

CHURCH RULED BY RICH
SAYS DIVINE IN RETIRING

Associated Press to The Evening Tinsa.
st. Louis. Oct. 25.-Rev. DR.. w. w.
Boyd, for thirty years pastor Of one
of the wealthiest congregations in
this city, announced today that he has
quit the ministry, declaring that all
clergymen must be subsertient to the
money power" or leave their church.
DR.. Boyd had filled the pulpit of the
Second Baptist church until two years
ago, when he resigned, giving as a
ton to his independence Of action and
thought.
"The modern fashionable city
church." said DR.. Boyd today. "is run
by from one to six men who are the
largest contributors to the funds. and
therefore insist upon certain policies
of administration. These men could
put no paddock upon my lips. What
believe l preach. And it is just be-
cause In any city church it is impos-
sible for man to utter Independent
speech and retain his influence over
the men who must support the church
that I prefer to be a free lance and
speak on invitation and live my own
life.
Church Used as Cloak.
Men take the church as a cloak
for respectability. The way the mod
ern churches are run is responsible
for the building up of the great ethical
culture societies, the Christian science
creed and kindred organizations.
'The preacher who conforms to the
ideas of the money power and doesn't
offend the rich and says nothing to
offend the conscience can preach her.

The fire broke out on the ground

When the firemen arrived at the
burning building, they saw men hang
ing from the window sills on the up
per floors and frantic women with
babies in their arms and children
clinging to them, leaning far out from
windows unable to find any means of
the little fresh air which the open win
little fresh air which the open win
dows afforded. The firemen quickly
ran their ladders up, but they would
not reach above the third floor. Many
persons were on the floors above. The
firemen first devoted themselves to
the people on the second and third
floors. After getting every one they
could find, out of the second and third
stories, they turned their attention to
the people above. AS ladders could
not be made to reach above the third
floor, men on the fourth literally
pitched their wives and children down
to the firemen on the ladders and then
jumped down themselves. Some are
badly injured. Some, whom brave fire.
