The lightning was flashing and the

threatened fairly to blow off the top

car forward at a terrific pace, seeking
shelter, and at last, as he rounded a

Garage, was to be seen hundred
yards ahead. He stopped in front OF

OF it brewed without consulting the

prominent novitiates that he was 60

and they had implored him to pass
them by; their timidity was extreme
and their command of language school
boyish. Would the colonel please ig-
more them? He would.
The dinner progressed and the punch
came on at its conclusion. After two

bench. has tendeerd his resignation
while under charges. His resigna-
ton was sent to President Taft while
the last witnesses were waiting to
testify before the House Judiciary
Committee. which has been hearing
relative to charges OF misconduct
filed against the aged jurist. Judge
Hanford gives i'll health as his rea-
son for resigning.
Judge Hanford has been in the
public eye since last August, when
he issued an injunction opposing the
people of Seattle in five-cent fare
fight against the traction company.
For this, the jurist was hung in
effigy and threats of Impeachment.
proceedings were made Before the
public could forget this incident
judge Hanford issued an injunc-
ton restraining the Socialist from
carrying the red flag through the
streets. Several weeks later he de-
MED citizenship papers to a member
of the Socialist party.
1t was the ruling against the So
cialist, who desired to become a
naturalized citizen, that aroused
Congressman Berger to action and
at his instigat on, proceedings were
started by the House. The technica,
charge against the jurist was
drunkenness. He also was charged
with returning corrupt decisions.
Since announcement of the resig-
nation has been made, Chairman
Clayton of the House Judiciary Com
mittee, has stated that the inyesti-
cation would be dropped. Why not
continue the inquiry? If the judge
has committed felony he should be
prosecuted like any other offender.
If he Is guiltless, he Is entitled to
vindication. The natural presump
tion Is that when man quits while
under fire, he is guilty. If Judge
Hanford is guilty, 1t is the duty of
the House Judiciary Committee to
bring legal proceedings against him
without delay.

The Exodus.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson has reeeiv--
ed more than 1000 letters from
prominent Republicans IN all sec
tions of the United States, assuring
him that tthe writers would vote
the Democratic ticket this year. He
also has received thousands of let
tiers from obscure members of the
Republican rank and file containing
similar messages. An Associated
Press dispatch states that the New
Jersey executive has personally re-
sponded to several hundred of these
communications. the contents of one
HUNDRED or more of which have
been made public "A large per-
centage, perhaps twenty-five per
cent, of Wilson's correspondence Is
composed of those unsolicited
pledges Of support by Republicans.

leaders Of both factions of the Re-
publican party have changed thous-
ands of men, who. In the past have
been "hidebound' representatives of

they are bound to come again.
! A delegate is a man elected by a.
primary, or by large man in a
speckled vest, to do the thinking for
his community. Delegates are chos-
en- because they are supposed to
develop more intelligence per min
ute under load than the common
plug citizen and to use wisdom in a
convention as lavishly as the ordin-
airy man uses ketehup on beans.
Sometimes there is dispute and
rival delegates are appointed by
rival conventions. In such cases
the credentials committee settles
the dispute by praying for guidance
to select the crowd who Will vote
for the right man.
Delegates are not paid for their
services, but are glad to do the peo-
pies thinking for them because of
the honor. 1t is a great honor to
be a delegate. but after the average
specimen has paid $40 a. day for
board and room for 10 days, he be-
gins to murmur and repine and
curse the candidates. and telegraphs

A delegate goes to a national con-

there he becomes afflicted with

ton, pugnaeity. profanity, allega-
tons and recrimnatons. and has to

First EncYcIopedla.

The most ancient attempt at what
Is called in these days an "encyclo-
pedia" was Pliny's Natural History"
This old work, very high authority
throughout the Middle Ages, Is really
a remarkable production and well de-
serves the fame that for so many ages
belonged to it. Pliny, who died in 70
A. D., was not a naturalist, a physician
or an artist, and did not pretend to be
the wisest man of his time, yet such
was his interest in knowledge that he
devoted the leisure hours OF a busy
public life to compiling the work
which did vast amount of good in
the world and paved the way for the
comprehensive encyclopedias Of the
present time.
