HE is A MAN.

Robert T. Hodge, Progre ssive party
candidate for governor, refuses to dis.
cuss from the platform his family af-
fairs. Even if it costs him the cleo
tion of governor of this state. Big,
manly MAN. Hodge said at the be-
ginning of the campaign that he was
not ashamed of his record. And he
need not be. Referring to the Sian.
derous attacks in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. and which have been
copied by the Bellingham daily pa.
pers. the Olympia Independent says
"They first hired a so-called woman
posing as a democratic candidate for
the legislature to appear on the plat
form and assail Hodge. in manner in
which no man would dare do: next
they attacked Hodges character and
even prevailed, just how remains for
fairminded people to Judge. upon Mr.
Hodges former wife to make the dir
test charges against him that have
ever been made against man. She
made them under oath, on the Sth day
OF the month, but the foul. dirty, ly-
ing P.-I. didn't have enough decencv
to print them until 13 days after, or
the 21st. And the people are wonder
ing why. Was it because they desired
that the former wife of Bob" Hodge
should be given time to get out of the
United States? Was it because they
didn't wish Bob Hodge to have an
opportunity to bring them into court
before election in an effort to make
them prove the charges? There are
a thousand and one reasons why
they didn't publish them sooner. But
the chief of them is this-they didn t
dare"
Bob" Hodge won't answer the
charges of his former wife-not even
should he be able to be selected
through so doing-he has respect left
for his family of four boys even
though the person who gave birth to
them and since lost all their respect
because of her actions for several
years before she was divorced, and is
no longer worthy TO be called their
mother. One of these boys, at least,
could speak as though it was the voice
OF a mountain roaring did his father
but permit-but the two, the father
and son, will show respect vet to the
memory of a woman who was once
good and pure, even though she SO
far forget herself as to prove as trait
orOus as Judas Iscariot. The Inde-
pendent regrets thar it has been nee
essary to besmirch its columns with
such stuff, but we believe in fighting
| fire with fire, and only regret that
decency and respect for womanhood
causes us to refrain from telling our
readers just what is known of the
former Mrs. Hodge. When M. E.
Hay set out to secure the nomination
for governor he made it known that
nothing should stand in his way
nothing that could be secured with
dollars, even though it took thousands
| to accomplish it. He bought every,
thing right and left--even the souls OF
men and women, which in some in
stances came mighty high--but what
did it matter to him. He and his gang
] of cutthroats and even worse than
murderers are stopping at nothing.

gained, and can only say that l have
been working for needed reforms in
this state since 1901, and had tried
to get several previous legislatures
to take up this matter, but the graft
of the office and the corrupt lobbies
always allied with this graft would
not permit of it even getting before
the legislatures. My experience with
public men makes ME positive in the
assertion that where public graft is
cut out the public get better officials
and more honest service.
Yours for progressive and cleaner

The tuberculosis Congress
Warns Against Exodus.
Elects Officers.

The exodus of tubercular patients to
the Southwest has become so great that
the charity cases have forced them
selves on the attention Of the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis. There are no free
hospitals there. The Southwestern
Conference on tuberculosis, on April 16,
adopted a resolution asking railroads not
to sell half-rate or charity tickets TO
tuberculosis patients unless 1t were
known that they would not become pub
lie charges when they reached Arizona
or New Mexico or contiguous territory.
This resolution was approved by the
national association which closed It's
eighth annual session yesterday.
A resolution was also adopted asking
the national association of veterinarians
to cooperate more closely with the
tuberculosis society.
The new officers elected are Homer
Folke. Of New York, president; DR.. Rob-

resigning, Gen. George NJ. sternbers
offered to continue to serve as treasurer
until successor is appointed.

by Mics F. Elizabeth Crowell, DR.. H. r

President Taft will have to pay his

IL provision In the sundry civil ap-
preparations bill, which will be report
ed to the House on Monday, is accepted
by Congress. The sundry civil bill is
now in the hands OF the House Appro-
priations Committee and has been COM
pleted.
President Taft receives a salary OF
5000 q year and $25, 200 year for trav-
cling expenses. The latter item ap-
pears in the sundry civil bill, and the
committee. casting about for places
wherein to inject the pruning knife In
the interests OF economy, seized upon
the expense allowance.
The proposition Is expected to create
no little stir on the floor of the House,
and will furnish the nucleus for a good
deal of ante-campaign political oratory
The Democrats are prepared to charge
that the President doesn't deserve the
allowance on the ground that he has
abused It by going around the country
making speeches and spreading his po.
litical propaganda.
The Presidents friends are expected
to reply vigorously to these charges

After q number of witnesses had
sworn that the present service, which
requires transferring at o or streets,
on Wisconsin avenue, with the option Of
riding on to NJ street. in Georgetown. is
highly satisfactory to them. G. w.

citizens Association, called to the stand
sral manager Of the Rockville and Ten

WEAPONS USED BY CRIMINALS
Glass Stiletto-Pistol Shot That
 Makes Victim Unconscious

From Pearson's Weekly.
 The ordinary Paris apache or hooligan invariably carries a revolver and most of the murders which have recently mortified Paris have been committed with the ordi- nary sixshooter.
 The weapon which the police found upon Provost, who lay in wait for a bank mes senger on April last, was a novelty. He and a friend named Coulon planned to kill this messenger in way which would be least likely to attract public attention
 Coulon carried bludgeon with which to stun the man. Provost had a medical syringe charged with that most deadly of all posons prussic acid. He confessed that he had meant to squirt this down the victims throat. which would have result ed in his instant death.
 A pistol which renders the person fired at unconscious without seriously injuring him was found upon a hooligan arrested in East London in October last. The car tridges contained a mixture of gunpowder, burned cayenne pepper and lycopodium, the fumes of which caused the person fred at to lose consciousness.
 Very little originality is shown by the assassin. If he does not use a pistol or

Telephone Over'Which Deaf
 Mutes Gan Converse

How can deaf mute use a telephone !? This question had long puzzled William c. Shaw, deaf mute, who works in the experimental laboratory of the General Electric company at Lynn. Mass, and he set himself to the task of solving it. The result is a practical apparatus by means of which deaf mutes can converse ,with each other or with normal persons at any distance.
 Mr. Shaw has exhibited his deaf mute telephone at several technical schools, but it has been received with most en- thusiasm at schools for those afflicted as he is. He showed il last month at the School for the Deaf, Hartford Conn.
 Instead of sound. light has to be used as the means of communication, so "tel- ephone" is scarcely the correct word to apply to this invention. It consists of three essential parts-the sender. the in- dicator and the receiver. with the electric wires that connect them. The sender is a typewriter. The indicator stands on the table in front of the sender. It consists of frame about six inches square in which are mounted S6 two candle power electric lamps. each marked with a let ter or figure.
 The receiver Is a large reproduction of the indicator, being about three feet square and having upon it 36 eight candle no~er electric lamps. marked with letters and numbers to correspond with those on the indicator.
 The pressing of a key on the typewriter closes an electric circuit which lights on the indicator and on the receiver the lamps bearing the letter of that key The receiver may be situated in another house. Beside it Is a call lamp.
