No Race Suicide Here

Absalom Woolf, pioneer Of Utah,
died last Friday at Hyde Park, Utah,
leaving 153 descendants.
Abby Woolf, as he was called,
had the distinction of marrying two
wives on the same day under the rites
of the Mormon church. Fifty years
later, on April 10, 1907, he celebrated
a double golden wedding. He boasted
that he never had a quarrel with either
of his wives during his lifetime.
Woolf was an Indian scout of fame
in the early days of Utah. He is sur
vived by a family of ID sons and
daughters and a total OF l53 descen-
dants.

Confidently asserting that after fif-
teen years experimenting he has dis
covered process whereby black roses
may be grown, Dennis Tapley,
homeless cripple from Savannah, Ca,
is in Washington to obtain, if possible,
patent upon his discovery.
He was preceded by a letter written
by Col. A. R. Lawton, vice president
OF the Central of Georgia railroad, who
has interested himself in Tapley's
claims, and who has asked Representa-
tive Edwards of Georgia to take charge
of the matter before the patent Office.
This Mr.. Edwards will do, assuring
the cripple, who has made keyrings for
a living, that his invention will re-
ceive the same jealous guardianship as
though he were Thomas A. Edison
himself.
The black rose is something for
which the world has been waiting for a
long time. The discoverer says that
within the past month he has been
offered 100000 for his secret the day
it is protected by patent, but ne is
going slow in accepting any offers.

The house having failed to act favor
ably upon the matter, Representative
Poindexter has induced the senate
committee to report an amendment to
the bill making annual appropriation
for the census, which is Of the first i'm
portance to the people of the irrigated
sections OF the West. This amend
ment provides that enumerators in TAX
ing the census shall ascertain the num-
Der of acres irrigated during the last
calendar year, the value and kind OF
crops raised on such irrigated land dur
ing the period named, the amount Of
water used thereon during the season,
and whether it was obtained from state,
national or private works. There is
little doubt of the amendments final
adoption, and as result Of Poindexter' S
efforts there will be assured for the first
time a complete return upon what has
become in recent years the foremost
industrial and agricultural question oil
the West-thus fully enlightening the
people as to the progress and result Of
the great work of irrigation in this
country.

Hardly week passes that does not
afford fresh proof of the height and
force of the popular tide now running
against Cannonism. Thus poll re-
Gently made by the Chicago Tribune
shows that a majority of the republic
can editors in every one of the con-
gressional districts OF Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota are opposed to the re-
election OF Cannon as speaker of the
next congress. A majority OF the re-
publican editors in every district of Hi
nois, the speakers own state, oppose
his continuing as speaker, and even in
his home district only six Of the eigh-
teen republican editors who answered
mt themselves on record in his favor.
In the home district of VIM. B.
Mckinley, the original stand-patter and
the speakers principal lieutenant, only
five republican editors are for another
term for Cannon as speaker, while
twenty-iour, or nearly five times as
many, are opposed to it. Out Of 1888
republican editors in the seven states
polled by the Tribune, 245 expressed
themselves in favor of Cannon's re-
election and 1888 were opposed to it
ratio of more than six to one. In

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
Political Pot Begins to -Stand-Pat
Senators and Representatives
Evidently Uneasy

Members Of the present congress are
giving much thought these days to the
makeup of the next one, and stand
pat republicans, who have their ears
close to the ground, in the frankness of
private conversation admit that, what
ever may be the result of the fall
elections, the progressive republicans
are sure to have their numbers greatly
increased in the house and senate after
March 4 Of next year. There are SIS
members of the present house-31 re-
publicans and "a democrats hold
their seats by majorities or pluralities of
less than 1000, and it is in the districts
represented by these men that the pro-
gressive republicans hope to make their
largest gains next November. In each
OF the districts attempts will be made
to force the nomination of progressive
by the republicans, and with probable
success in majority Of cases. Thus,
in the first Nebraska district, now rep
resented by John A. Mcguire, demo-
crat, who was elected in 1908 by less
than 1000 majority. William Hayward,
secretary of the republican national
committee, has just announced his can
didacy on a platform which declares
against the reelection of Cannon as
speaker and for amendment of the
house rules to the end that the power
to legislate may be taken from the few
and restored to the many" Hayward
will be opposed at the primary by ex-
Representative Pollard, a stand-patter,
but reports from Nebraska are to the
effect that the former has popular senti-
ment behind him, and that the chances
are all in favor of his nomination. His
candidacy is the first of many OF the
same sort sure to be disclosed during
the long series of congressional prima-
ries and conventions which begins next
month.

If Carter of Montana, who has fairly
earned retirement, is returned to the
senate it will be because the republic
cans of his state, a majority of whom
are progressives, have no candidate to
vote for, and the same thing holds in
the cases of Oliver of Pennsylvania and
Depew of New York. The senator last
named, despite badly smirched repu-
tation and notorious readiness to serve
the cause OF Big Business" is again
candidate for reelection, but had
New York the primary law for which
Governor Hughes has been fighting for
the past two years the seat he now dis
graces would be speedily filled by
progressive republican. Indeed, the
indirect and devious methods of elect
ing members of the senate which still
obtain in many Of the states are the
things upon which the stand-patters
rely mainly for continued control Of
that body.

The first republican stand-pat mem
Der of the house to have his claims for
a denomination passed upon by his con
stituents will be VIM. o. Barnard of the
Sixth Indiana district. The Republi-
can nominating convention in that dis
trict will be held early in March and
Barnard, whose majority in 1908 was
only 100, is said to be sadly in doubt
as to the prospects not only for his re-
nomination but also for his subsequent
reelection. There is good reason for
his anxiety if the result of the recent
by-election to choose a successor to
the late David A. DeArmond in the
Sixth Missouri district be accepted as a
fair indication of the quarter from
which the political wind is blowing at
this time. The republican candidate
to succeed De Almond made his cam
paign on an out-and-out stand-pat plat
form, and as a result his opponent,
although comparatively new man in
politics, was chosen by majority of
1888, or 1923 more than De Almond
received in 1908 Democratic gain
of 43 per cent. Should the same ratio
of change manifest itself in the Sixth
Indiana district, Mr.. Barnard, if can
didate for reelection, will be decis-
lively defeated next November. Many
of his associates have like fate in
store for them, for the handicap Of
Cannonism hampers every standpatter
who seeks reelection, and it is heavy
burden,

In Maine and Massachusetts pro-
gressive republican sentiment is organ
lied and aggressive, and as a result
thereof, as previously noted in this cor
respondence, Hale and Lodge are in
grave danger of defeat in the legisla-
lures to be chosen in their states next
fall. Others of the group under dis
cussion will also have to fight for their
political lives during the next few
months. The progressive republicans
of Vermont, Michigan and New Jersey,
who are steadily increasing in numbers,
have rods in pickle for Page, Burrows
Kean, long numbered among the half
dozen senators most subservient to
Aldrichism. In West Virginia Scott,
another docile and faithful representa-
tive of privileged interests, is opposed
by Representative Hubbard, strong
man with mind OF his own and the
will to serve the people, who will grow
in favor with the voters from now till
election day.

number Of districts he has not a single
supporter. A significant showing, and
charged with an especial meaning for
the voters of the Third District of
Washington whose representative was
one of the dozen republicans who were
endowed with enough grit and fore
sight to vote against Cannon for speaker
at the opening of the present congress.
The senatorial contest in the state Of
Washington is causing much discussion
at the capital for the reason that the
ability and political integrity of Judge
Poindexter have already made a pro-
found impression on his associates in
congress, and also because he was the
first progressive republican not already
a member Of the senate to announce
himself a candidate for that body.
However, the fight the Judge is waging
in Washington against the stand-patters
promises ere long to be duplicated in
many other states. Besides Senator
Piles, who took counsel with wisdom
when he decided not to seek re-
election, there are % republican sena-
tors whose terms expire next year.
Three OF these-La Toilette, Clapp and
Beveridge-are progressives, but there
are among the other 20 some Of
Aldrich's most servile followers in the
senate, including Burrows of Michigan,
Page of Vermont, Dick Of Ohio, Kean
of New Jersey, Carter Of Montana,
Scott OF West Virginia, Lodge Of Mas
sachusetts, Oliver Of Pennsylvania, De-
pew of New York, and Hale of Maine.

There may be a motive behind the

investigation and trial Of the Lorimer
bribery cases. Certainly Mr.. Lorlmer
secured his seat by the most disrep-
utable and scandalOus methods ever
