its face. Longino was not ole
enough to be in the war; but his
widowed mother contributed five
sons, who were as gallant Confed
crate soldiers as ever shouldered
a gun. What is Moneys record
as a Confederate Soldier! l ask
for information.
Longino's record as governor
is good, He could not be bought,
for he refused a bribe of 1925, 900,
when he could have accepted 1t,
and it never would have been
known. He had backbone, for
he rightly refused executive
clemency, in case in which the
most powerful pressure was
brought to bear upon him. He
has guarded the peoples money,
and did all in his power to bring
to the bar of justice those who
took the peoples money out of the
treasury for purposes of specu-
lation. He is careful of exer-
cising his pardoning powers, for
there are today on his table 800
petitions for executive clemency,
which have not been granted.
His political enemies and ira
ducers, finding no wrong in his
record, but being determined to
down him. have conjured up
this negro question, placed him
upon a platform upon which he
does not stand, and then proceed
to combat hin, not with legiti-
mate argument, but by appeals
to passion and race prejudice
Ii the negro question is Nation
al and so vital and impending,
why has Senator Money not seen
it before during the 30 years of
his public service? Why is it
that the whisky element of some
OF our delta counties, notably
Tunica, are fighting J4ongino with
such unabated fury? Longino
stands for progress, and concili-
alton of the north, but not at the
sacrifice Of principle. He stands
for these principles which, thank
God, will live, even though he may
so down in defeat.

ference had to do with the demands
Of the musicians union IN regard to

According to Manager Hayward, no
definite decision was reached, al
though there was a lengthy discuss
ion over the project Of having the
travelling companies touring the
northwest carry their own piano
players. A number of plans were
taken UP and finally submitted to
President John Cort Of the associa-
tion, who, It is expected, will be
heard from within a few days.

the scale demanded by the Spokane
musicians is considerably higher than
that in force at Seattle and else
where, and that, in fact, the condi

towns are much more liberal than
those which. we are asked to comply

DENVER, Aug. 29.-Probably the
only living man in America who ever
spoke with Napoleon Bonaparte is
DR.. Johann Eisenhut, 1903. DR.. Eisen-
hut was born in Persian AppenZell-
Ausserrhoden, Switzerland, and was
farm boy. He grew up into stout,
husky youth, looking older than he
really was. He was working in the
fields one day, when, as he stopped
moment to rest, after the fashion of
the man with the hoe, he saw sol
der coming. In that quiet rural com
munity the flash of a military uni
form was a novelty, and the farm
boys blood was at once on fire with
the excitement OF the occasion. 1t
was the army Of France on the march
led by the fighting emperor, who
carved continents and whitfield out
nations as cabinetmakers carved wood
and sculptors stone. Brilliantly the
sun flashed on the long line Of uni
forms and was reflected from the pol
ished caparisonings of the emperor's
escort. The farm boy leaned over the
fence and looked just as boys look
now at passing troops. The emperor

the regular army establishment will
be led by Senator Charles w. Fair
banks Of Indiana.
Semi official announcement Of this
has been made in the senator's per-
sonal organ in Indianapolis, and in
the same article It is set forth that
there are numerous shady transac-
lions in the career Of General Wood
which need investigation. The SEN
ate is to be asked to insert the
probe.
The assumption OF this Office Of
chief inquisitor by Charles w. Fair
banks is explained by the fact that
Fairbanks is no longer on good terms
with the president. and is willing to
take this opportunity to show his re-
sentiment. Fairbanks is nettled at
the summary manner in which his
presidential aspirations were nipped
and at the increasing favor with
which Beveridge has been received
at the White House. In certain mat
tiers of state patronage also he be-
lieves his colleague has been given
the best of it. BY opposing Wood
he believes he will even up scores
with the administration.

somewhat abashed and trembled a lit
