DR.. Madriz said that he was

a delegate to Bluefieids to confer

there, but his representative had

had come to entreat for peace it
was useless. Madriz was hope
full, however,, that he would sue
coed in making peace with the
revolutionists.
He had conferred at Punta
Arenas with Adam Cardenas, the
former President Of Nicaragua
and now head of the conservative
party, and a mutual promise
of cooperation had been exchang-

WASHINGTON HONORED.

There seems l. De no longer any
doubt that r. A. Ballinger OF Sealtle
will be secretary OF the interior IN
President Taft's cabinet. A number of
reports have been sent out from the
national capital that he was being
considered for the place, but 1t was
not until the past week that any deh-
nit news came from the east. Walter
Clark. a very we'll known and reliable
washington correspondent. wired his
paper the Post -Intelligencer, that he
WAS in a position to announce that
Judge Ballinger would be member OF
the new cabinet.
Ballinger is making rapid strides in
the political world. Years ago he was
a cowboy The late Senator John j.
ingalls, took an interest in him and
induced him to go to college and
study law. Later he came to Wash
ington and located. He was college
friend of Secretary Garfield and 1t
WAS through the latter that Presi-
dent Roosevelt placed him in charge
Of the land department at Washing
ton. He served a short time and re-
signed to resume the practice of law
1t was thought that he was out OF
politics but Mr. Hitchcock, who man
aged the Taft campaign, made MIN
his Pacific coast representative and
now he becomes secretary of the In
terror.
King county politicians are wonder
ing if this appointment will remove
Rallinger from the field of senatorial
possibilities. 1t is said he would like
IL succeed Senator Piles and it would
not come as a surprise If at the
end of two years he resigned his cabi-
net portfolio to enter the senatorial
race in this state.

Rev. Bulls Interview.

To the Editor of The Statesman: III
YOUR published account of my inter-
view with your reporter in your sat
urday issue there were two statements
should like to have the privilege OF
explaining more fully.
First: | do not believe in the thea
ter in the sense that it is an article or
my creed. But l do not believe that the
theater is in and of itself immoral. IL
is a. proper and necessary form OF
amusement At the same time l believe
that perhaps three fourths of the plays
now on the stage are more or less i'm
proper and demoraliZing.
Second My attitude on the local OPP
ton law is that the counties of the
state should have the opportunity OF
voting on the question, but that cities
of the first class should be exempted
from the county unit provision and be
granted the right by a two-thirds OF
three fourths vote to decide the Qiues-
ton for themselves. Total proh1bl-

ton in large cities has always proved
more or less of a failure.
Bar drinking in either saloons or
hotels 1 believe to be positively harm
full both from a moral and a physical
or hygienic standpoint; and l should
like to see it entirely abolished. Bars
and saloons, pure and simple, are
among the most prolific sources OF
moral evil and political corruption, es-
pecially in cities, throughout the coun-
try at large and a standing menace
to the welfare Of society as whole.
The proper place for the use of slim
ulants. if used at all other than as a
medicine, is I think at the table
whether in the home, the hotel or the
restaurant.

Anti-Jap Measures
AffrOnf to MikddO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The impress
sion is growing here in diplomatic
circles that the exchange of diplomatic
notes has proceeded further than was
believed heretofore, and that when
the president insisted that California
measures would be considered an az
front by Japan in the event of their
enactment, he spoke with full kno,vl-
edge Of the nature of these exchanges.
The president told a visitor at the
White House yesterday that if a con-
f1ict came, an effront was pretty well
established in his mind even If ne
hadn't gone further in pointing out the
provocation that might be the cause
for the rupture if the anti-Ja panese
legislation was insisted on by ,Calfor-
mia.

POLITICS AND THE COURTS

There is some talk down in Califor-
MIA of divorcing the state judiciary
from politics. A bill has been intro
duced into the legislature to that eff
feet; the method proposed being the
elimination of all partisan reference in
the nomination of judges. AS we are
told, there are difficulties in the way of
this particular bill by reason of the
fact that it would be special legislation,
and as a precedent would tend to Gre
ate mischief, because of the special
election provisions that might be made
as to other offices, and the resultant
complication and complexity of the
laws governing elections.
1t is the principle of the proposed
legislation, however which we are dis
posed to regard with interest. There
never existed sound reason for the
partisan designation of candidates for
the judiciary, says the Portland Tele-
gram. What the opinions of a judge
may be on the tariff, on big navy
on bearing the brown mans burden, on
the respective rights of the states and
nation are Of no consequence to the
man who will appear before him
charged with the commission of crime,
or to the average litigant over whose
interests he sits in judgment in a civil
controversy. AS to the comparative
merits of an elective and an appoint
i've judiciary, there is opportunity for
much sound argument; but the parti-
san feature of the elective side of the
question adds emphasis to the argu-
ment of its opponents
1t is doubtless a far cry to the rea-
lization of the purpose of this Califor-
MIA bill; but the bill is important mas
much as it indicates awakened thought
upon a desirable reform. Legal ability
and high character are presumed to be,
and should actually be, the chief re-
quisites in a judicial candidate 1t will
work wonderful Improvement both in
the character of law and the manner
of its administration when we give this
principle practical recognition to the
exclusion of everything else.

Fleet on

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 9.-While ridi-
culing war with Japan, Admiral Bob
Evans today declared that a battleShip
fleet should be sent to the Pacific as a

to sent part of the Atlantic fleet to

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 9.-Gov-
ernor Gillette today declared that he
proposes leaving the handling of the
anti-Japeness situation in the assem-
bly, tomorrow to Speaker Stanton,
and that he does not intend to send
any more messages on the subject to
the legislature.
Governor Gillette believes that Pres
ident Roosevelt stated clarly in his
telegram to Stanton what the federal
government desires done tomorrow
when Grove Johnsons anti-Japanese
come up for reconsideration.
He believed Stanton will point out
that the presidents urgent message
to him should be needed and John
sons bills be illed.

ADJUSTMENTS

Prenare For "Ben-Hur."

Work has been begun on charging
the fly galleries of the Keylor Grand
stage for the engagement Of Ben
Hur," which is to come to this city
next Monday. The stage, while as large
as any in the west, is not quite as
large between the fly galleries as Man
ager Catron would like, and while the
performance could have been handled
it will be made easier in this manner
and will be more satisfactory to the
spectators.
The stage is now AZ feet from the
footlights to back, and on the sides is
70 feet from wall to wall Heretofore
it has been but 40 feet from one fly
gallery to the other, across the stage.
The work. however, will make the dis
lance between the galleries so feet in
stead of 40.
In addition to the regular 80 sets Of
lines used in giving ordinary plays,
none of which ever use this full set, p
more are being added, which makes 159
lines that will be used in the working
of the Ben Hur' scenery.
when completed, the stage will han
die any play now being produced or
