of this character took place stones

of the old house where the assassins
tried to kill Seward the night Lincoln
was murdered. But It took place quite
a dozen years before the fateful night
at Ford's theater. A young politician
of great promise, and, too, of subse-
quent great achievement, was living
with his notably young wife on that
same side of the square. A great iron
fence enclosed the square at that
time. Had 1t not been for that fence

the other leave his home and wave a

leaning out of the window, confronted

him up and shot him to death. I was

FOR UNWRITTEN LAW
Dean Of the Washington College OF
Law Defines It az the Right to De-
fend the Integrity Of Family Life.

BY ELLEN SPENCER MUssEY.
The unwritten law might be de
fined to be right to defend the integ
rity of family life against all invasion
and invaders. While the family has
no distinct legal entity apart from the
persons who compose 1t, yet, in the
interest Of society. the law holds the
more intimate family relations as
sacred and not to be inquired into by
a court of justice. It Is on this ground
that communications between husband
and wife are privileged, and they can
not testify as to confidential commune
cations made by one to the other
during the marriage.
Marriage is civil institution as
well as contract, and It should be a
religious sacrament. Law cannot
make or unmake the true marriage
relation, but so far as the relation
concerns society and the state, 1t must
control 1t.
The Family 40 q Unit.
The law regards carefully all prop
erty rights. It deals promptly with
the trespasser and the thief, and en-
forces contracts. The murderer, the
cmbezzler. the perjurer, have justice
melted out to them as enemies Of the
commonwealth.
But the law does not deal with the
family as a unit. Every student Of
sociology knows that the homes OF the
commonwealth are its real corner
stones, but the law does not so recog.
nize It. II is the one institution still
left to the defense Of the head Of the
family. In the very nature OF things,
there is always woman in the case.
II the crime Is against her personally.
II she be over the age Of 16, what
remedy does the law give her?
A young woman went into city to
support herself, unwarned, inexperi-
enced; her faith and her affections
found an unworthy object. Too late,
she found the man was already mar
ried, and in a wild moment she shot
him fatally. II the man had boldly

RAPID RISE OF
Gov. HUGHES
Unknown 5 Years ago, now
Governor and PreSi=
Dental Timber

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-Leaders
develop very rapidly in our atmos-
phere. Note the appearance of Charles
E. Hughes as the orator at the unveil-
ing of the Mckinley monument at
Buffalo Thursday, says the Washington
Star He is the governor of the most
powerful state in the Union, and serv-
ing so well in his office he is widely
regarded as a presidential quantity.
His tribute to Mckinley showed the
man of thought and character worthy
of the place he holds. 1t ranks with
the best appraisements that have been
offered of one of the worthiest and
most attractive men in our history
And vet when Mr. Mckinley died.
only six years ago, Mr.. Hughes was
unknown outside of a small profess
sional and church circle in New York.
Mr.. Mckinley probably never heard of
him His work at the bar was sue
cessful and satisfactory, but had
brought him no fame. He was not
seeking fame. The respect of his fell
low lawyers and of his fellow church.
men comprehended his full ambition.
Nor was the task out of which his
fame grew one that promised fame at
the time he set his hand to it. One or
two lawyers of distinction had de
clined it, putting but a small value on
it. But Mr.. Hughes accepted it and
in his hands it soon attracted national
attention There were rooted in it
evils of large proportions, and these
he exposed in an able and merciless
manner. so important were his serv-
ices, indeed, that money considera-
ton did not cover them at all The
people Of the state rewarded him by
calling him to the governors chair by
majority which in the circumstances
was very large.
All of this was accomplished in a
very short time, Who shall put limit
therefore on what the next ten months
may bring forth in the national field?
An important session of congress is
approaching and many public ques-
tions will come up for discussion and
a new situation, and out of that situa-
ton may spring new leaders. Such a
thing does not look likely, but 1t is
not impossible. And the comforting
feature of the matter is that whenever
such an hour strikes with us we have
Hughes at hand, and he always re-
spends.

FAMOUS OLD
WARSHIP SOLD

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept 25.-
The famous old frigate Saratoga, now
at the League Island navy yard and
which was stricken from the active
list of vessels of the navy short time
ago, was put up for sale at public auc-
ton today. The vessel is one of the
most famous of the old American men,
of-war. She was constructed at Ports
mouth, N. H., and launched on July
26, 1912. In the years that followed she
made name for herself in the sup
preston of the slave traffic and in the
Mexican war, and had among her COM
manders such famous sailors as Farra-
gut, Shubrick and Tatnall
She was named to commemorate the
name of Commodore Perrys famous

the battle of Lake Erie. She was lar

NORTHWESTERN
TO CHARLESTON
Maps Filed in WaIla WaIIa
Land Office Show the
Route

WALLA WALLA Sept. 25.-That
the Northwestern Railroad company
seems almost assured, says the Bulle-
tin, as map of final location was re-
turned to the land Office in this city
this morning from the general land
office at Washington. D. c., approving
the final location of the right Of way
down the Snake river from Charleston
to where the road is to cross the line
into oregon. The right Of way is on
the west side of the river, where an
easy water grade has been found, and
will cross the state line near the Wild
Goose rapids.
Where it will go from there is not
definitely known, but present condi-
tons indicate that it will take almost a
straight cut across country for Walla
Walla. From that point to Walla Walla
it will find an easy grade, or one that
is practical.
1t was announced some time ago that
the North Coast had a right of way
| from Wallula to Asotin, a short dis
lance south of Charleston. At that time
no one had any idea as to where this
right-of-way would be, but the map
filed today in the land office may shed
a new light upon the matter.
This announcement and the fact that
| the Northwestern has located what is
| thought to be the only practical right
of-way between these two points, is a
queer coincidence of which the only
plausible explanation is that the North
Coast and the Northwestern are one
and the same road.
But as it stands at present Walla
Wana bids fair to get the main line of
the largest road in the world, for as
such the Northwestern is known. They
/ have more miles of track than any
road and their rolling stock and opera
/ tive system ranks among the best in
existence.

DIGGING WELL
FIND COAL

ABERDEEN, Sept. 25.-While dig
ging a well at the residence of N. G.
Wheeler on the hill in this city yester-
day, the workmen struck a six-inch
vein of coal at a depth of 80 feet from
the surface. The coal is remarkably
free from dirt and appears to be of
good quality, While the deposit is too
small to permit of it's being worked, IL
is very probable that more extensive
deposits exist in close proximity and
an effort will be made to locate them.
For number of years it has been
known that there are coal deposits un-
DERIVING this city and the surrounding
country However, no one has ever
prospected for them to any great ex-
tent. But this new find has aroused
considerable interest in the matter and
many who have been skeptical on the
subject are now beginning to realize,
that since the cost of coal during the
winter months is almost beyond the
reach of the people, that it would pay
to give the local coal depositss a thor
ough investigation.

piece and quiet most appropriate TO
the occasion.

These young people. one 10 and the

to marry, and predict for them a
