PHILIP TWOROGER: RESPECT for the courts rather than the heathen adulation, is 
characteristic of Philip Tworoger, member of the Seattle bar.  Mr. Tworoger 
believes that the courts are the balance wheel of the American from of 
government; that the judges are human and therefore not infallible.  That they 
are created for the purpose of interpreting the law and not to make it.  That 
the Supreme court of the State of Washington deserves the respect and thanks 
of all lawyers, as well as all laymen of the State of Washington in that it 
had the moral courage, not merely to differentiate the case at bar from its 
previous decision, but to overrule it if it found that right and justice 
demanded it.  Mr. Tworoger is a native of New York and was born in 1869.  He 
is a graduate of Harvard, taking his degree of LL. B. in 1892, following which 
he practiced his profession in Boston, Mass., until 1904, when he located in 
Seattle.  In 1900 Mr. Tworoger married Miss Rose Florence Kamber, and they 
have two children, Mrs. Marian G. Lorah, aged 21, and Sydney K., aged 19.  
During the Spanish-American War Mr. Tworoger served in Company "A". in "Ben 
Butler's famous Sixth Massachusetts Regiment," in Cuba and Puerto Rico.  He is 
a member of the Royal Arcanum, Harvard Club, Fortson-Thygeson Camp 
Spanish-American War Veterans, Roosevelt Post Veterans of Foreign Wars, and 
the present State Judge Advocate for the latter.  Politically he is a 
Republican and from 1910 to 1912 he served as Secretary of the King County 
Republican Central Committee.
