STATE CAPITOL GOSSIP

An amusing feature of the senatorial
contest is the forlorn hope which
Griggs, the Great Democrat, is leading.
Griggs has barrel and he has already
stove in its head. Mr.. Griggs has a
partner named George Browne, who is
said that if Mr.. Browne finds there is
not only help him financially, but he
will throw the Democratic votes in his
direction. The Democrats and Pop
ulists Indignantly deny that they will
at any time form any combination
with the Turner supporters which may
help them to elect senator. They
will vote, they declare, for no one who
is not a member of their parties. If
they adhere to this resolution there
can be no doubt that Senator Allen
will be reelected, for his supporters
will never recede a point from the
stand they have taken.
When Roscoe, of SnohOmish, made
his speech announcing that he was
going to vote for Turner, there was a
short pause and Representative Roth,
of Whatcom, arose. He looked around
the room for an instant, and those who
did not know the loyalty and stead
fastness of the Whatcom representative
supposed that he was about to change
his vote. He initiated the hesitating,
drawing manner of speech in which
Roscoe had just spoken, and after re-
peating ROscoe's statements almost
verbatim, announced that those were
the reasons why he was going to vote
for John b. Allen. Roth's mimicry
created a considerable laugh at Roscoe's
expense.
There are numerous bills introduced
each day. One of the most absurd was
one introduced by Hutchinson. He
wanted the Office of lieutenant-gov-
ernor abolished, and introduced bill
to that effect. AS it would require a
constitutional amendment to abolish
the office it was supposed at first that
the bill was joke, especially as Hutch
inson moved to have it referred to the
committee on Indian affairs. 1t was
learned afterward, however, that the
author of the bill had serious inten-
tons of depriving Lieutenant-Gov-
ernOr Luce of his job. As soon as the
senatorial contest is settled it is probable
that number of important bills will
be introduced and acted upon, but
until this mighty struggle is ended
there will be no legislation of any con-
sequence,

IN. aye OF senator nar1..

The exact age Of Senator Harris is n
profound mystery. He resolutely re-
fuses to state the date Of his birth in
the Congressional Directory. This is
only one of his eccentricities, but it is
his strongest. l asked Representative
Patterson Of Memphis once how old his
friend really was. II any one should
know it, he should. for they are as
intimate as any two men in congress.
Patterson shook his head sadly. If
Harris were to die tomorrow, he said,
Il do not believe any one could tell his
age to the marble cutters. In Tennes-
see we figure this way" he said, laugh
ing; I'VE know that he went on the
duelfield with Andrew jackson in 1908
at least this has never been denied.
He was a man then and supposed to
have some gray hairs, at the time. A
conservative estimate would make him
out to be about 100 years of age. -

The Queens Name.

The following extract from Charles
Greville's DIARY" under date Dec. "a,
1919, and therefore when Princess
now Queen-Victoria was exactly
months old, bears upon the point raised
1.-THE Duke of Kent gave the name Of
Alexandria to his daughter in COM
pliment to the emperor of Russia.
She was to have had the name of Georg-
lana, but the duke insisted upon Alex
andrina being her first name. The re-
gent sent for Lieven, the Russian en-
bassador, and made him great many
compliments-en le persifant-on the
emperor being godfather, but inform
ed him that the name of Georgiana
could be second to no other in this coun-
try, and therefore she could not bear il
at ALL"
1t was accordingly as Alexandrina
Victoria that the infant princess was
baptized on June "a, 1s19..-Notes and

mastery OF a live one, and. a. a result an
exaggerated value is placed upon the study
OF Latin. As 4 common sense proposition
we should say that to acquipe. ability and
fertility in the use Of the English Is TO be
most commended. What matters it that
50 many English words were derived from
Latin when their varied definitions and
limitations are clearly shown in aur stand
ard dictionariesi The genealogy Of q word
Is Of small moment compared with its con-
temporaneous utility. It may be eorrup-
tion OF Latin, 1t Is true, and yet excellent

ments could never be clothed with more
marvellous beauty than in the English
. tongue. Shakespeare, the most brilliant
master Of expression humanity has eyolv-
ed, used English exclusively. We have
never had linguist 30 profound in the

But she has noticed nothing strange,
