DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
AN UNTIMELY CALL.

Chairman Jas. West has issued an
unexpected call for meeting of the
judicial district committee at Ceru-
lean next Saturday. We say unex-
pected, because there are as yet no
formally announced candidates for
either circuit judge or common
wealth's attorney, and the sudden
ness of the call does not give pros
peetive candidates time to enter the
race in order that the committee may
give their wishes consideration in
fixing the time and manner of max
ing nominations. 1t is reported with
some evidences Of reliability that the
committee is controlled by the
friends.of the present judge, who de-
sires to succeed himself and that the
plan is to call primary election for
lhe day of the regular election in
November, although the election of
district officers will not take place
until next year. There are many
reasons why a snap primary should
not be called in the interest of any
Qne candidate.
That experiment was tried by the
State Committee two years ago and
We. AL know the result. The people
are sick and tired of machine meth
DDS and if the blunder of 1906 is re
peated this year in order to relieve
Judge Cook of possible opposition in
1909, his slender majority of 127 votes
n 1903 will as surely as the sun
shines be swept away by the same
avalanche that overwhelmed the
Democratic party last year and turn
ed Democratic majority of q, 900
into Republican majority Of Is, 900.
Taking the figures of the last elec-
Aion, the district is now Democratic
by only ten votes and it will be invit-
ing defeat to repeat the same tactics
ahe party refused to stand for last
year.
1t would be bad enough under nor
nal conditions, but everybody knows
that conditions this year are not nor
nal. A question of far greater i'm
pOrtance than politics is dividing the
white people into two classes, those
fOr law and those for lawlessness.
We use the term white people" ad-
sisedly, for nothing ever divides the
GolOred Republican vote. No mat
Aer which side of this question Judge
Cook may take, he cannot possibly
avoid arraying one faction against
she other in the Democratic party
Ahis fall and the split that must sure
y follow will work great damage to
Ahe presidential ticket. This must
be evident to every thinking man. 1t
Is no time to bother with the aspira-
Mons OF otfice-holders whose terms
are not out for sixteen months.
Judge Cook and other candidates
must submit their claims to a dis
Arict literally over.run with night
riders, kept in subsection by military
force. More than so are under in
aictment and at least $50 more have
been named in affidavits lodged with |
eounty officials. The punishment of |
Ahese criminals will necessarily be an
Bsae in the campaign, if it is to be
precipitated this fall, in the nomina-
lion of officers whose duty it is to en-
sorce the law. A year from now

BIG CITY
FOR SUNDAY

The city of Spokane in two
weeks, beginning December 20, is
to be the field of the widely known.
and somewhat eccentric gospel
worker, Rev. William A. Sunday,
better known as BILLY"
The coming of Mr.. Sunday is a
result of local boosting on the part
Of ministers and business public.
One hundred other municipalities,
with every manner of inducement,
tried to secure this series of meet
ings. Never before has Sunday un-
dertaken to hold meetings in
city with 100000 population. He
has a standing offer from one man
in Chicago of 100000 with which
to undertake a campaign in the
Windy City, but does not yet feel
sufficient personal resources to
swing 50 large a city as he does
the municipalities of from 10000
to $4,000.
Albert P. Gill, Sundays advance
agent, finished the huge tabernacle
a week ago on the vacant plot
north of the armory. The seating
is for 5000. It is believed struc-
ture with $4,000 seats would not
have been large enough to accom-
modate the crowds that will want
to see and hear the gospel SPELL
binder before he reaches the close
of his meetings. Mr.. Gill is "a
specialist on acoustics suitable for
Mr.. Sunday and tabernacle of
$4,000 seats could easily have been
filled by the evangelist's magnifi-
cent voice.
The Spokane Ministerial alliance,
through DR.. James H. Shields,
about a year ago approached the
subject which in time has borne
fruit in securing Mr.. Sunday for
the meetings.

LORD AND HIS
WIFE BOTH
MISSING
He Vanished in Chicago
and She Is Hidden
in Spokane.

There's a Spokane end to the
mysterious disappearance of
Lord" Herbert Russell of Bridge
port, England, who has vanished
from the Auditorium hotel in Chi
cago. He has a wife here and she
Is as safely tucked away so far as
publicity is concerned as the
lord himself.
The local mystery centers out at
BOA Tuclid avenue, the home of
Mrs Francis Olson, mother of the
wife. Chicago reports say that
Mrs. Russell, or Lady" Russell,
has written the police there that
her husband carried large sum
of money when he disappeared.
The wife is out here with her moth
or to avoid the glare of publicity,
It is stated. The wife was former
ly q school teacher, well known in
this city.
Mrs. Olson assured a reporter
that her daughter was not in Spo-
kane nor anywhere else so far as
q newspaperman was concerned.
She was not greatly worried about
Russell's disappearance and SEEM
ed confident that he hadn't been
murdered. She also said that Rus
sell was not a lord at all. The
daughter left Chicago last Septem-
Der. but she was not In Spokane
now.
All the while bright-eyed and
good-looking young woman, dressed
In black, stood close behind Mrs.
Olson, very intent on everything
that was said, but saying nothing.
She had that indefinably sly look
q woman always wears when a
man is confronting a woman who is
determined not to tell him any
thing. But the mother said the
wife was not in Spokane, so of
course the young woman's interest
in the matter must have been
merely family feeling. For that
reason the situation seemed doubIy
enjoyable to her. Of course, if she
had been the wife in question she
would have given all the informa-
ton desired as to Russell's mishap
or whatever it might have been.
Russell was here year or more
ago and the wedding took place
about that time. Just how he came
to be listed as a lord if he's not a
lord is not explained. If he was a
lord his mother in law wouldn't
likely deny it, would she? He is
represented as being in America
to look up investments for Eng
lish capital
For some reason his wife came
home to mother and the Chicago
authorities are trying to ascertain
what has become of Russell. He
might be here in Spokane for all
the nervous concern exhibited as
TO his fate at the Olson home.

PEN VISIT
STARTS ROMANCE

Love that had its commencement
within the grim walls of the sta!e
penitentiary at Walla Walla resulted
Tuesday in the marriage at Spokane
of T. E. Wilson and Miss Jessie Mae
Utley, who about one year ago hap
peneG to be me,nLers of a party
which visited the prison.
Miss Utley has been a teacher in
the public schools of Bowl, Idaho,
and last summer happened to be in
Walla Walla on visit. Mr.. Wilson,
who was until the past month en-
r.oyed by the Wenatchee Canal COM
pany in charge of an engine doing
hydraulic work, happened to be in
Walla Walla on the same date, and
each resolved to visit the reformatory
institution. The party was quite
large, but somehow or other the two
came together and together they wer"
shown through the institution.
Later in the summer Miss Utley
was in Wenatchee visiting friends ana
the acquaintance of the chance meet-
ing in Walla Walla was renewed.
Tie chance acQuaintanceship led to
friendship, friendship to love, and
love, of course, could only eliminate
in matrimony.
The couple were in attendance at
the apple show in Spokane and were
married on Tuesday. Mr.. Wilson Is
not now in the employ Of the Canal
company and left this city some few
weeks ago.
