SEATTLE leads in most things. and
it is now at least one ahead of Taco
ma, in having a thief who stole from
the contribution-p plate. After the au-
dience had been carefully panhandled
and the members had cheefully and
and obediently coughed up several
hundred dollars, some sneak thief re-
morselessly appropriated the whole
amount to his own use. That re-
minds us of, and is almost bad as, a
story told of that talented but excen-
trio genius who once lived in this
community, Mr.. Horatio Alling. 1t
was said that had once been preach
err, which of course made his part the
more easy. He organized a society
of his own, whose nets and pitfalls
were not held up as a menace to in
spire righteousness, sect in fact
whose creed might not primarily in
terfere with anybody's politics or re-
ligion. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that it readily found adherents. The
attendance at the first meeting was
large and the contributions liberal;
but unfortunately the liberality OF
the new dispensation seemed to have
immediate effect upon the stewards,
two of the main pillars, who immedi-
pocketed the swag" This unfair
proceeding broke up the church, its
pastor" declaring that no creed on
earth could DO expected to live on
wind.

That Message.

The President : message To Con
plr>S is given in an abbreviated form
in this number of the STANDARD. 1t
is unnecessary to publish it entire,
rs il is very improbable that more
than one in ten of our readers could
find time to wade through. he vapld
pumpu>ity of this State papers when
the writer is actuatcd 10y fixed pol
icicS and keeps ON presenting them
with endless iteration.
The present message is. il possible,
more RooS,vcltian than tho>r which
have preceded it. in that he now
openly advocates principles that were
condemned 10y the forcfathcrs and
made the subject of constitutional
guaranty by them. He openly advo-
Gates Capitalization of Federal power,
rs well as the admission to this cOun-
try of the countless boards of foreign
heather nations, to usurp the prlvll-
ages of home labor and the rights of
American citizenship. He Seems de-
tcrmined to recognize an equality
here of the dirty and dcmoralizing
little Japs. that has only seemed to
acccntuate their inSolcnce towards
our people and produce an inSutfera-
ably overbearing dcmcanor towards
the worlds powers.
1t is a fact that during the official
reading of the document before Con-
gress, many topics presented were,
omitted, by agreement of the MEM
bcrs. So rs not to waste time by lis
tening to the stiltcd arguments that
had been the subject of previous mes
sages. Take from it what has been
stated in other form and many times,
and there would be very little left of
it. The main points are made to
bear, when possible, as corelatlvc
trend upon those fundamental ideas
of the founders of our government, to
show that they erred in making a
careful adjustment of the duties and
powers of the general government,
and as careful a consideration of the
rights specially reserved to the States
as being nearer the people, in franz
ing the Federal constitution. 1t was
paramount object, likewise, to main
tain and safeguard the dignity of
our citizenship. This was shown in
providing the qualifications for hold
ing Office and the rules prescribed for
admission of aliens to the enjoyment
of political rights even from the most
civilized nations.
1t has always been a prerogative of
the usurper in deciding the fate of
nations that have refrigerated, to first
degrade the citizenship, and in this
method we see the hand of Hamil-
ton, to change our form of govern
ment, OF distinctions of caste, and
hereditary rule, such as would, unre-
strained mark the reign of tyrant,
ready to divide his subjects into two
classes, liars and fools.

SABLE, MARTEN AND MINK. COR
respondent. to decide q bet, has
SSkcd us to describe the distinctive
characteristics of the Sable, the Mar
ten and the Mink. While these ami
mails have many points that are held
in common, being carnivorous and of
the weasel family, their habitation is
not so universal. The sable is found
almost exclusively in the frozen
mountains of European and Arctic
Russia. 1t is specially priced for its
fur, and a single skin is often sold at
from $50 to $50, according to fine
ness and color. The hairs of the
sable are so soft that they will lie
any way they are placed. The color
of the fur varies with the season. In
summer, it is brownish with white
spots on the head and sometimes a
grcyish neck. In winter, the fur
is much darker, but not SO much as
to justify the use of its name for a
synonym of jet blackness. The var
ious species of marten, mink and
fisher, are found in this country, but
their furs are of little value selling
at from $3.50 to $3.50, varying in
color from ash to grey and yellowish
brown with sometimes small splotcheS
of white about the throat and neck.

after such matters as now before the
court. called attention to the con
tcmptihir allegations contained in
the petition for rchearing in the
Marie Carrau controversy. which
formed the basis of the present dis
barmcnt proceedings. Hon. Thomas
NJ. Vance was somewhat severe in
his Pronunciation of the attitude of
attorney Alexander; was willing to
meet him us Il representative from
the Attorncy-Gencral's office, but
considered he had no right to ap-
appear before the Court and assume
the Bar Association had condemned
Judge Robinson, when it had done
nothing of the kind; that he (Nance)
is q member of such body and knew
il WAS not in the habit of condemn
ing any member unhcard If it
should pursue or countenance any
such policy. the sooner its mission
shall end the better. Therefore he
was forced to the conclusion that
Alcxandcr's prctensions were gratui-
tous. General Vance grew eloquent
when he observed that he would
rather face the gallows than to have
his integrity as n member of the
profession assailed by q Judgment of
disbarmcnt; that the Odium of such a
ruling would follow an attorney
wherever he might 60. even to the
junglcs of India or Africa, quoting a
passage of Roman history to Illus
trate his point. He admitted such a
decision may not work a forfeiture of
an attorneys license from the Fed
eral courts. whose jurisdiction is
foreign to that of the State tribunals.
The arguments of Attorney Shocks
and Judge Bell, of Seattle, were
pointed and forcible. The latter
claimed his relations with Judge
Robinson had been intimate for sew
eral years; knew his client was in
clined to uniform courtesy to courts
and members of the bar and had felt
deeply over the outcome of the Sal
Ivan nuncupative will controversy
Since Robinson had made ample
apology, the court should be cOnsid-
crate. Attorney Falknor claimed he
appeared because the court had d.
rected the Attorney Generals Office
to institute the present proceedings;
that he believed that the court had
the power to protect its own dignity
from invidious assaults upon its own
integrity. After the conclusion of
the arguments the matter was taken
under advisemcnt.
There was report at the State
house that soon after the objection
able document was filed, that Miss
Carrau took a copy thereof to the
Times Office, at Seattle, and the edi-
tor hesitated about publishing the
contents in detail. But it is claimed
by the Judges friends he was no
party to that transaction.

NEW HENNEpIN CANAL Now OPEN
The United States steamer Marion
was the first steamer to pass through
the Hennepin Canal, which was COM
pleted last month, after the enter
prise, which connects the upper Hi
nois River with the Mississippi at
Rock Island, had been under way for
thirty-siX years. The Marion was
the first boat to traverse the entire
length of the canal, which is about
eighty miles, and she put in ten days
on the trip. She plowed through ice
all the way, and as navigation in that
section has closed for the winter, it
is probable that no further use will
be made of the canal until next
spring. The boat started into the
canal at Bureau on the Illinois River
and worked her way through to Rock
Island. On reaching Rock Island
she was greeted by Il chorus of whis-
ties. The canal was recently COM
pleted under the direction of Major
c. S. Richie, of the Corps of United
States Engineers, who was trans
ferred to the Rock Island district in
1903, and has had charge of the canal
since that time. 1t was begun by
the Government in 1871, at time
when the railroad facilities of the
country had not reached their pres
ent stage of development. The
working plant had not been operated
since the work began, but few
years ago, when it became apparent
that the commerce of the country
demanded the improvement of the
waterways, the work Of construction
was taken up and the canal was
pushed to completion. The topog-
raphy of the country made it nee
essary to build several locks in the
artificial watcrcourSe.

Brother Bushfeld of the Miller

and predicts that in the progress of
events Aberdeen, Huron and Mitch

tors. When John Sharp Williams
went into politics and was elected to
congress, his old grandfather said
to him: Johnny boy | want to give
you a word of advice. Now you are
setting out for a political career,
don't you never prophesy. I've
been observing for a good many
