When a nv»n who holds all the proxies of the Republican committeemen
of the First division says he is going to work to unite all Republicans in the
territory it can only mean that all the committeemen of that division, with
the possible exception of the one, are desirous of bringing the Wickersham
and regular forces together, A union of the two forces could only result in
the nomination of the present delegate or of a man selected by him. The
W'ickersham side would never stand for anything else, if the future can be
viewed in the light of the past.
Now, if Wickersham becomes the leader of the Republican organization
in the territory and if he stands as purely Republican we ought to have a
most interesting political time before and during the next election. The
most interesting thing to watch will be the actions of those people who call
ed themselves Democrats and those who said that party politics should not
be considered in territorial contests. Will they still stand by Wickersham?
Another interesting thing to watch, in case the Delegate becomes the
Republican nominee, will be the actions of the regularly organized Republi
cans, or some of them, to whom the name of W’ickersham has been anathema.
Some of them are sure to tight tooth and nail to prevent the present Dele
gate from receiving the nomination, but if he does receive it will they then
turn around and rend the man who is their party’s standard bearer and
abandon tha party?
Really it looks as though we are in for a big political change and it is
about time. All of us have just been getting tired of the same old thing
election after election.
The Chamber of Commerce of Seattle and the Commercial Club of the
same place are now trying to get together again and become one. One was
formed only because of some sort of jealousy but the two organizations have
worked separately ever since until the result is coming to be seen.
One of the results of such a split up in all cities is very often that the
new organization goes in danger of making itself ridiculous by extravagant
ideas that are promulgated in the mere hope to get ahead of the other body,
and when sue t a body makes itself ridiculous it is hurting the whole com
munity. Sometimes such a public body might do real good but it can also
kill any elTort ir that direction by absurd methods.
OFFICIALS CANT
pass m; \in test
CLEVELAN D, 0.. Jan. SL—Al-j
though most of the city officials and,
6 of 7 school board members failed,
to pass the Binet normal mentality!
test now officially used on all Cleve
land school children, a majority of
the insane patients at New burg state
hospital passed the test easily.
Clevelanders opposed to the Binet
test cited these facts today in their
tight to have the test abolished. The
test is part of a system of examina
tion under which 1047 school children
have been declared mentally defect
ive. A child of 12, to be normal ac
cording to the Binet test, must, after
hearing it once, repeat: “I saw' in the
street a pretty little dog. He had
curly brown hair, short legs and a
long tail.**
IS WAR BRINGING MORE
BOY BABIES TO ENGLAND?
LONDON, Jan. 22.—Is war respon
sible for a greater and increasing
proportion of boy babies ? This ques
tion is engaging the attention of
British medical authorities following
the Registrar-General’s report that
all records for boy babies born in 36
large towns in England .and Wales
have been broken during the last
nine months.
As against 100 female births, 1,032
boys were born in January and
March; 1,043 in April and June and
1,055 in July, August and September.
Advance records indicate that the
ratio will be even greater from
October to January, 1916. A theory
that some natural law, yet undiscov
ered, lends to the birth of more boys
than girls during a nation’s war
stress is partially borne out by re
ports from Austria, where male
births have exceeded female births
during the war, to an even greater
extent than in England.
Professor W. D. Halliburton, Dean
of Medicine at King’s college, London,
discussing the subject, declared to- j
day that there is no scientific theory j
to justify the belief.
“The fact is there,” he stated. “We
must look upon it as a wise dispensa- j
tion of Providence. One popular ex
planation is that the anxiety or priva-!
tion of the mother during the pre-!
natal period has some influence on
determining the sex of her child. But
no scientific explanation warrants
such an idea.” Professor Arthur
Dendy of the Zoological and Animal
Biological faculty, King’s College, de-j
dared that prevailing birth conditions
could not be attributed to mere coin
cidence. He was unable to explain
further.
Oflicial records made public by the
*
Registrar-General also said that the
marriage rate for England and Wales
during the last three months was the
highest in history—21.8 person per
1,000.
TODAY’S ODDEST STORY
AMAN'A, la., Feb. 1.—Guided by
the ten cammandments as their only
law, 1,600 persons live hereabout
happily farming 26,000 acres of land.
Their organization, the Amanda
society, is 60 years old, and worth at
least $8,000,000. No member holds
property in his own name. All that
savors of the worldly is barred.
George Hiedeleman, 71, head of the
community, said today a boy who
played baseball on Sunday was pun
ished by being kept away from church
for two weeks.

A NEW DISCOVERY
Stampede to the Miner’s Store and stake a claim while

opened a new one when we unpacked our new line of
Schoenbrun samples for Spring and Summer 1916. There
has never been a better line of samples exhibited in Sew
ard. The styles and fabrics are strictly up-to-date and
the prices are within every man’s reach. Come in and
prospect the line N 0 W and we can take your measure
anytime.
While you are getting to bedrock on the suit proposition,
better have your partner do a little prospecting on the
benches. He’ll make some discoveries there in A L L
KINDS OF MEN’S FURNISHINGS that will

for both of you when you get ready to outfit
We handle a complete line of furnishings for every man,
no matter what his profession may be.
Don’t stake any claim in the clothing line until you have
prospeetd our store.. The quality of our goods will speak
for themselves and the prices are RIGHT.
