ELKS' BANQUET MARKS CLOSE
OF WASHINCTON'S BIRTHDAY

As a fitting close to an already perfect
celebration of the birthday of George
Washington, Tacoma lodge No. ia, Il. p.
O. Benevolent and Protective Order
OF Ellls, Best People on Earth. etc.-gave
a banquet last night from which none of
the details that go to make an affair of
that kind perfect were lacking The ban
uuet hall was decorated in a manner be-
fitting the occasion, with the national col
ors. At one end OF the hall was a large
picture of George Washington, draped in
the Stars and Stripes.
Over 800 members of Tacoma lodge, visit
ing brothers and invited guests gathered
around the banquet board promptly at
half.past eight When the good things
there provided had been disposed of, Elk
allied Ruler G. o. Bates introduced as the
POSTMASTER of the evening that prince of
entertainers and king Of toastmakers, Jay
Sedgwiek" That gentleman accepted the
compliment gracefully and the events of
the evening proved that there was foun-
dation for all the good things that had
been said of him.
The first toast, "0ur United States"
was responded to by General j. NJ Ash
ton. After few words Introductory to
the subject, General Ashton said in part:
what does it means to respond to the
toast, Our United States? 1t means
something which appeals to us. something
that goes down deep into our hearts, away
beyond everything else that we can think
of, something that comes from our hearts.
Our own United States-compare it with
other countries throughout the world and
it win very clearly show what We are.
Looking into the commercial history Of
the world, we 60 back into the centuries
and find Carthage ruling the world. Bring
the commercial history of the world down
little farther and we come to Athens;
a few centuries more and we come to
Rome little further and we reach Ven
ice Then take leap through the space
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-02-23

of the centuries and we come to London.
Less than eighteen years ago that great
and illustrious statesman James G. Blaine.
called attention to the fact that the com
mercial power of the world was conferred
about the Strand in London. He predict
ed then that the time would come when
the commercial pulse of the world would
beat around Wall street and Broadway in
New York Three years ago every word
OF that prediction came true, aud during
the past three years the bulk of the trade
OF the work. has come to America. That
is the present position of Our United
States.
John d. Atkinson of Olympia was called
on to respond to the toast, AN Elk" Mr..
Atkinson was barely started on. an elo-
quent peroration on the virtues and du-
ties of a member of the B. p. o. +. when
he was seized with an attack of vertigo
and was obliged to desist
Toastmaster Sedgwick then called on C.
A. Snowden, Indian commissioner, "the
Prince of Elks,' to tell what he knew
about the real elks, the lords of the for
est, from which the order had taken its
name.
Mr.. Snowden responded by telling of the
ruthless slaughter of elk in the Olympic
mountains and of the efforts that should
be made to prevent the destruction of the
species He called upon the members of
the order to aid in protecting the elk,
and introduced a resolution asking the
lodges in Washington to subscribe to q
fund to cover the cost of policing the
Olympic mountains and stopping the wan
ton murder of the animals.
j. j. Anderson responded to the toast,
"The Lady Elk" Mr.. Anderson said he
was in much the same position as Mark
Twain when he was called on to deliver
a lecture on the snakes of Ireland. About
all he could say was, There are no snakes
in Ireland Mr. Anderson continued:
Il might say there are no lady Elks, but
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-02-23

forms the office of neighbor, he is neigh.
bor." In this sense, he said, the term
neighbor is as wide as the world and as
deep as human affection, and concluded
with tribute to the neighborly princi-
pies of the Elks.
'The Old Plug Hat was the toast re-
sponded to by John d. Fletcher. Plug
Hats" he said, "have adorned the heads
of kings and princes, and the Irish in
general. They smile at us at our birth,
make merry at our wedding and preside
at our funeral They are alike the pride
of the pauper and the millionaire, and
no matter how battered they may be, they
are still cherished as a reminder of hap
pier days. If some of those battered old
hats could talk, what stories they could
tell of good times, and hard times, and
such scenes as this tonight"
Walter Harvey responded to the toast,
"The Youngest Member" Mr.. Harvey
divuged the secret that he was only a
fve-weeks-old Elk. His remarks were
confined to giving his impression of the
order as it appeared to a new member.
Frank La Wall responded to toast to
"Our Absent Brothers" that was pathet-
ically eloquent. He paid high tribute
to the generation in which the memory of
absent brothers is held by the lodge.
Then followed few impromptu speech
es and stories and the days celebration
was brought to a close by the entire COM
pany singing AUD Lang Syne."

TRAITS OF THE JAPS

TOKYO, Feb. "a Original impressions
are lasting. An original impression of
Japan is one Of minutencss. The Jap.
anese empire is small; the natives are
small the streets are narrow; the house
Of the ordinary citizen is home in nina
ture, farms are gardens; teacups and
dishes are small and fragile; pipes, which
are smoked almost universally. are VERT.
able toys; business is conducted generally
on a small scale; in fact, Japan is a regu-
lar vest pocket edition of a nation.
The Japs are, however, overcoming their
inability to succeed in great enterprises
and the erection Of enormous government
industries, like the armor plate works and
shipyards shows comprehensiveness
which few years ago was not suspected.
The natives are famous the world over
for their politeness. They are nation
Of good manners and have earned the title,
"the oriental Frenchmen" Life is mark.
ed by gentleness and polteness in word
and act Some Of the expressions are
tormslities, yet they have, through cen
turies OF use, been incorporated into the
individuals so as to be second nature
Another element Of japanese civilization
Is simplicity. The natives have cultivated
nature TO such an extent that the garb OF
nature is, not regarded imlnodest They
see beauty in the ground a stone, tree,
Enarled and twisted, or flowers of all
kinds. A Jap loves flower for itself. He
worships nature in all its forms for itself.
Compared to Americans they seem childish
in their simplicity, yet they get more solid
pleasure out of life than any other people
on the globe
Careless to an extreme, free from worry
or anxiety, merry, light-hearted and vi
vaclous, they are easily satisfied. A Jap
belief is that man, by perpetual hustle
and worry renders himself unfit TO enjoy
the pleasures of nature He considers
Americans, by reason of life at high Pres
sure continually, unable TO enjoy life.
Apparently the whole nation has solved
the great problem of today--how to be
happy though poor.
The Japs are stoical and can refrain from
expressing JOY or sorrow as well as any
Roman or Spartan. Without the least
sign of suffering they viii endure the great.
est torture, such as disemboweling them
selves, and receive adversely or atfliction
without a word Of complaint.
1t is said that the serenity Of the Jap
anese women is due to their freedom from
small worries. They do not fret over
fashion. Housekeeping is simplifed, and
with the boasted civilization Of America
and Europe we could well learn from the
Japanese how to improve domestic life.
The Japs have been accused Of fcSleness
and have, il is true, shown many different
sides. They seem easily attracted by new
things.
A Japanese explanation Of this Is that
they desire to thoroughly try all things be
fore adoption and this makes it appear
that they are unstable, when in reality
they may not have made an adoption. Ger.
tain il is that in the past few years they
have shown steadiastness OF purpose in
all directions.

THE MARKETS

Potatoes have exhibited tendency this
week to take a jump. Some of the com.
mission men, however, have made deliv
cries at $4,000, while others maintain
the minimum rate at 500.
Oranges are quoted low. Those now on
the market have an exceptionally fine IA
vor, although many are rather small. This
is dut to the prolonged drouth in Califor
MIA, but there was no frost to iniure the
crop. and that accounts for the increased
quantity.
The following prices were quoted this
morning by Tacoma wholesale dealers:

COMMITTEE FAvoRS
( RAILWAY FRANCHISE

The privileges. franchises and corpora
tions committee of the city council met
last evening in the city hall and took
favorable action in regard to the ordin-
ance granting to the Commercial Trust
company street railway franchise. The
ordinance during the course of the meet
ing, received ono change. The assignment
clause Of the ordinance first read. that
the Commercial Trust company might as
sign its franchise once without the CON
sent Of the council, but ii was altered to
read This franchise may be assigned by
the Commercial Trust company only with
the consent of said city given by ordin
anee.N
Stuart Rice, president of the CONNER
ciai Trust company, was present at the
meeting, but would not divulge the names
OF the capitalists back Of the scheme. On
this account the members of the commit
tee were very careful in regard TO the as
signment cause, as they did not want the
Commercial Trust company to assign its
franchise to those whom the city did not
wish TO have it..
The ordinance granting the franchise is
similar in many ways to the Felt fran
chise, and the company will have to pay
to the city tax of per cent of its gross
earnings for the first four years, and 2
per cent thereafter.
In regard to bridges that the company
would build for street car lines, the com
mittce agreed that they must be construct
ed al the expense Of the company, and
any bridges that are now owned by the
city which the company should desire to
use should be maintained by the city and
the street railway company jointly. TIL,
company viii also be required TO pay the
city one-half of the present value of al
bridges over which the ears are to run.

Putting Him to the Test.

A stockbroker was telling the other
day how girl, recently married to a
colleague of his on the Stock Exchange,
suspected that her husband had been
indulging little too freely in the cup
that cheers. She determined to find
out beyond doubt whether her suspi-
cions were we'll founded.
To a friend she confded the source
of her trouble, and from this friend
she learned that it had always been
said that man even slightly intoxi-
Gated cannot pronounce words Of any
length, whereupon the young wife de-
cided that that would be a good plan
to try.
When next the friend met the young
wife she was in a state Of great agi-
tation. Asked If the suspicious had
been verified, the girl burst into tears
and said that they had.
"I handed him this list" she said
between sobs, fishing from her pocket
a paper which she gave to her friend
and which contained the following
