Today Hanford goes. gering under the mass of evidence against him, he goes from the federal bench. He saw the jmevitable outcome of his case so he quits under fire. He saw his desperate defense collapse and at last he realized that his czarlike rule was over. Hanford and his crowd fought desperately. They used the great power at under cover, they attacked from ambush, they slandered and they vilified. _ But viewed from. the sensational developments of today, all their maneuvers, all of their scheming, and “all of their desperate plots stand out as the ridiculous efforts of so many King Canutes trying to command the mighty sea of public opinion to “stand back.” If any vindication were needed for the men who were responsible for ridding the bench of Hanford they have that vindication today. Hanford’s record, as it has been revealed, has vindicated them. Every witness who swore to Hanford’s drunkenness vindicated them. The records from Hanford’s own court vin- dicated them. AND TODAY HANFORD, BY RESIGNING RATHER THAN FACE AN IMPEACHMENT VINDICATES THEM. So far as Hanford is concerned, The Star is through. He joins the rather long list af erstwhile promi- nt citizens who tried to “get The Star” and he knows now, as do these other men, that The Star never ops once it begins a merited movement for the public good.

NEW YORK, July 22.—Are the police of New York, the greatest city of America, organized to pro- t in return for graft, all the evils they have been supposed to check in order that the lives of the citi- zens who pay them might be safe? This question is being asked in all seriousness this week by every man and woman who lives on the island of Manhattan, And in view of the startling facts connected with the assassination of Herman Rosenthal, just now being brought to light, they seem justified in their query. Herman Rosenthal was a gamb- ler. He publicly charged that the police of New York allowed gamb- ling resorts to operate on payment of fixed charges to them. Today latch festivities. were height, “Rose” was taken to George: town. There is no sentiment in | butchers. This butcher had not seen |"Rose” when she was two weeks old and had a cute pink snout.

Judge C. H. Hanford resigned as a federal judge this morning. At 10:30 he wired his resignation to President Taft. The subcommittee of the House Judiciary committee immediately wired for instruction whether to proceed with the impeachment invee- tigation, At 10:45 an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock thie af. ternoon, when a House resolution containing instructions to the com. mittee in Seattle will have probably been passed at Washington, D. C., as to whether the impeachment proceedings shall be continued. Hanford assigns as his reason f wigning that he “cannot stand the striin of the investigation and impeachment trial, and that he desires to quit while he still has some health left HANFORD DEFENSE COLLAPSES The Hanford defense collapsed apparently when the ink committee showed a determined effort to get at the Judge Hanford’s alleged business dealings with Iitigants.

SPOKANE, July 19. An Advertising Moral Seymour Eaton gives the following: “The story is told of an Irishman who went to the water front to look for a job, Some divers were making ready to go out on their day’s work. They needed another man and engaged Pat. Along during the day it was neces- sary for some one to go down and help the divers. Pat volunteered. ‘The diving suit was put on and it was ex- plained that if there should be any accident and he needed to come up quickly, he simply 1 to touch a little button in his waist band and a bell would ring on the boat, or he could pull a signal rope and be drawn up immediately. In less than three minutes the bell rang furiously; this and the jerking on the rope indicated that something seriously was wrong, Pat was drawn to the surface. He motioned to have the diving suit taken off, This done, his employers inquired what was wrong. ‘Be gob,’ he said, ‘I've quit I'll not wourk on a job where I can’t sphit on me hands,’ The moral is this: “Don't load your advertising’ man- ager down with iron-clad regulations and restrictions, and then expect him to do his best work, Give him room to spit on his hands.” 3 One Paper in the Homes of Seattle is Worth Ten Papers Outside of Seattle.
