WISDOM Of Wedding
BY ADVERTISEMENT
DOUBTED BY WORKER
Husband Finds Widow Did
Not Have $4,000, But Did
Have Three Children.

GustaVe A. Manther, a former navy
yard employe, has his doubts about the
safety of matrimonial advertising and
so expressed himself when placed on
probation by Justice Anderson in Grim
Inal Court No. !. today. after being
brought back to Washington from New
port. R. l.. on a charge of non-support
preferred by his wife. Martha A. Man
ther, whom he now agrees to pay s.
week.
In 1906, Manther saw an advertisement
in a newspaper setting forth that a
widow with 5000 wanted a husband,
he declares. The proposition looked at
traCtive to him and he opened cores
pondence with the widow, with the re-
suit that he was married at Newark,
n. j., on February 2S, the same year.
Manther claims his bride did not have
5000. but, rather possessed three chill
dren. He says he was slightly disap-
pointed over the financial feature Of the
nuptial event, although he decided to
make the best of the venture.
He lost his position In the navy yard
several months ago and drifted to New
port. leaving his wife and her children
in Washington.
Mrs. Manther appeader before the
grand jury and charged her husband
with desertion and non-support, and
he was indicted recently, and brought
back to Washington this week.
Through his attorneys, NJ. f. O'Brten
and N. f. Turnage. Manther informed
the court that he broke his leg in Feb
ruary and was out of employment, but
beginning July 2, would contribute s.
a week for his wife's support.
This was satisfactory, and he was
placed on probation with directions tC
report to Capt. Isaac Porter, probation
officer, every month.

A SIMPLE STATEMENT OF THE CASE.

Senator Poindexter, of Washington, is quoted as
saying:
I'm our State the Republicans ndorsed in the
regular way Colonel Roosevelt. They elected a
Roosevelt delegation to Chicago, but resctonary
national committee refused to seat the delegates
The Republicans of Washington will nominate and
support Roosevelt delegates regarding Mr.. Roose-
welt the real choice of the party for President"
Senator Cummins put it this way:
"A fraudulent conspiracy vitiates everything i
touches, and therefore to the Republican who after
intelligent inquiry reaches the conclusion that the
outcome of the Chicago convention was the result
of deliberate fraud the nominee of the convention is
not the nominee of the Republican party
The two Senators state the complete case. II is
matter of fact Of universal knowledge, of undenied
and undenable testimony, that the Chicago conven-
ton fraud.
If there any procedure by which judicial
cognizance could be demanded, all this would be
judoially established But there is no more remark
able anomaly about our institutions than this: that
in the supremely important business of nominating
a President no provision is made for redress against
fraud and conspiracy A stolen nomination can be
replevined only by the action of the people at the
polls.
Ordinarily, there is enough observation of such
fraud to make it impossible to unite the people in
The people know the facts understand the conspir-
acy, have seen its operation and results. They
know they have been robbed and therefore in their
view the nominee of the convention is not the
nominee of the Republican party
In one after another of the States which must
provide the electoral votes in support of any Re-
publican this view is being accepted. A few
political leaders will be slow about making their
declaration; but the conviction which is upon the
people will reach them in due time. They will find
they are finding, that they cannot afford to be less
earnest in opposition to such chicanery than are the
mass of the people.
The same eXtra-legal, extra-constitutional char
acerstic of the political convention which makes it
immune to judicial inquiry, fortunately makes it,
also, mpotent to enforce the fraudulent decision it
has attempted to choke down the throats of the
people. The Electoral College is free to right the
wrong which the convention has DONE 1t can be
pledged to the people instead of to the convention.
Republican electoral candidates everywhere are TAX
ing the position that they will support the honest
nominee of the party, not the fraudulent nominee
of the convention.
President Taft is in the position of having forced
himself, through frauds, upon an unwilling party;
but the party refuses to accept him. and is appealing
to the independence of the Electoral College to
sustain it in supporting the nominee of the party,
not of the convention.

PASSING OF THE COWBOY.

According to Capt Sumner T. Bsbee, one of the
most prominent frontiersmen of Oklahoma the cow
boy is rapidly becoming memory and within few
The plains will survive only in the circus and the
moving picture. Of course the lure of the great
out-of-doors was too strong to be suppressed in
single generation, but the work of the forest ranger
has attracted hundreds of painsmen who in the
older days would have become cowboys. The work
keeps them in the woods and on the prairies and
close to natures heart. At the time they show
such aptitude for the work of caring for the trees
that they have become valuable public servants and
the Government is offering them all encouragement
There is certain amount of pathos in the thought
that these roickng, whole -souled rough hand-ready
pioneers will soon be numbered with the things of
the past For the equal of their skill in herdsman
ship one would have to turn to the Cossacks of the
Ukraine or those human Centaurs, the Arabs of the
desert AS marksmen their fame is written large
complicated somewhat with tradition of disregard
for human life which is not altogether justified.
With all their faults they have been among the sa-
len features of the life of the West which is fading
more and more rapidly before the advance of civil-
zation.
The buffalo is practically gone and the Indian
has become amalgamated with the white race. We
are grateful to the Remingtons, who have preserved
in the enduring forms of the sturdy life of the
West Apparently it is the only form in which, with
in the next few years, shall be able to recall the
men who contributed largely toward the winning
of an empire from the wilderness.

from the Glen Echo station. Before

few of those aboard got off-the sight
discouraged them-so only a few in the

the foot board.
The car soon moved down the switch

But the way it was done. and the re.
fusal of the conductor, after the cal

bullies to be half decent and adjust the

Submits a Brain Teaser on the Qua
Functions Of the Present.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
An officer of our army Is required
to be an officer and gentleman by
law. Supposing general court-martial
proceedings should be instituted against
the chief of the army
and navy in this shape;
Charge-Unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman.
Specifications-In this, that he. etc, in
public speeches made use of such epi-
thets and language equal to placing
before the entire country the good name
OF a citizen and former officer of high
rank as devoid of character and apply
ing to all sorts of foul means during a
national convention to accomplish his
own selfish ends, etc.
Plea-Not guilty.
Findings-Guilty.
Sentence-To be dismissed as an Of
ficer of the army and navy of the
United States of America.
How would this sentence affect the
office of President, the President being
commander-in-chief of army and navy:
AS an officer he could be dismissed
provided the President approves the
sentence. T. J. HENRY.

WILSON NOT WHOLE PARTY.

After summarizing the Democratic platform of
this campaign the New York World, pro-Wilson and
rabdly Democratic, says:
This is wonderful array of promises
most of them in harmony with clearly
pressed popular desires often voiced by both
parties. They bind candidates, of course but
unless they also bind those who make and elect
candidates they never will be redeemed
The World can see knothole in the fence with
out having its nose pushed through it, and thus early
in the campaign it indicates the fatal weakness in
the cause of Democracy. The World knows that
those of the Democratic organization who must be
relied upon to elect Wilson are reaconary through
and through and altogether out of sympathy with
the platform, as we'll as the candidate 1t knows
that if these reactonaries are kept in power by a
Wilson victory their utmost influence will be
exerted to block the carrying out of the Baltimore
platform.
1t has the example of the present Administration
close at hand to cite exact parallel; an Admin
stration elected upon a progressive platform, but
with the aid of bosses and machines in the several
States, with the result that Immediately after the
election the bosses took charge of the Administra-
ton, nulliied the platform, and made the Admins
traton do exactly the of what it had prom
ised The World knows that Taft justified and still
justifes his reversal upon the ground that the men
who elected him and controlled Congress were re-
dictionary and he had to do business with them upon
their own terms, O. do no business at all
The most and best that can be hoped from the
election of Wilson, backed by reaconary party, is
that he will refuse to deal with the bosses deadlock
the Administration and do no business at all. In
that event it would be victory for the bosses, for
they would at least be able to block any pro essive
legislation and would remain in control of the party
machinery ready for the campaign of 1916
The Times yields to none in admiration of Gov,
error Wilson personally or in the belief that he will
not compromise his convictions sacrifice his ideals
That much is conceded by all parties and all men
it is conceded by the Murphys and Sullivans anc
Nugents of his own party for they not pledgin(
him their support without asking for augh in return
AS the World says, he is bound by the platform
but they are not And without their help he car
never r deem the pledges in the platform A party
that is reactionary as a whole is not made progres
sive by the fact it was forced to nominate pro
gressive candidate in order to win an election

SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912.
SIGNBOARD IS PLAIN.

The first Republican State convention held after
The passage of the Steam Roller at Chicago was that
of South Dakota. 1t repudiated Taft's nomination
and placed itself on record being against his elec-
ton.
The second one was held the next day in Taft's
own State. The Taft men were unable 20 nominate
a pronounced Taft adherent for governor and were
finally driven to pick unknown quantity in State
politics in order to prevent the selection of pro-
nounced Roosevelt man who had announced he would
not be bound to support Taft the national ticket
Furthermore resolution ndorsng Tafts nomina-
ton bitterly opposed and in the final roll call
3O1 delegates out of 72S went record against it.
No comment is necessary as a supplement to a
signboard!

FARMING WITH ELECTRICITY.

In various ways it is becoming increasingly evil
dent that we have only begun to apply electricity 10
the affairs of everyday life and more than ordinary
interest attaches to the suggestion which has just
been made by Sir j. J. Thompson that artificial
thunderstorms may be easily and proftably produced
to electrify the crops and stimulate their growth
He has found that water condenses more readily on
the negative portions of the air than the positive.
He believes that the work done in a thunderstorm
is accomplished by gravity in drawing down the
negatively electrified randrops against the attraction
of the positive. He has plan, the details of which
have not been fully disclosed for producing thun-
derstorm at will and thereby increasing the pro-
ductivenesS of the field.
Sir Oliver Lodge holds that it is not necessary to
apply electricity to the soil except in cloudy weather
The two distinguished scientists, however, are one
in regarding the production of electricity and its
application to the crops as easy of accomplishment
and of vast benefit. Such suggestions coming from
of their eminence are not in the class with the
empiric ranmakers who once had vogue. They

At Last the Poor Stock Exchange
Clerks Get q Raise.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The Washington Times has the fol-
lowing:
NEW YORK, July 3.-An employees of
the New York stock exchange Will re-
ceive an increase in wages July 10. The
raise affects about $50 persons. This Is
said to be the first general increase for
thirty years and comes as the result OF
the higher cost Of living.
And at last those poor New York Ex-
change employees get a raise. Congress
will certainly be moved to compassion
and give all Government employees a
little raise, now. Just watch 1t. Cheer
up, lads! Cheer up!
