NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The shad.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, whose
appearance on the witness stand yes.

iron, friends. The once kindly bright
faced Senator whose sunny, cheerful
countenance betokened extreme good
nature. wears the troubled look Of a
man broken in spirit and frame. Deep,
heavy lines mark the eyes which are
now dull and strained. Senator De-
pew on the stand had none of the CON.
rlacent, benignant humor of other
days; instead he wes serious and at
times almost timorous when placed
with questions by Mr.. Hughes, counsel
for the committee. Senator Depew
tapped his foot necessarily and drum.

the chair. while his tongue frequently
llayed about his lips as If to wet them

ouently in the pauses, Senator Depew
gave a quick glance at the audience
and let it wander rapidly from the
CO. sci to the committee and then fall
almost inquiringly on the reporters
who sat near bv. His memory failed
him many times on important matters.
Senator pcpew will probably not be
recalled.

WHAT WE WE'RE THANKFUL FOR

On reflection we think you will
agree With us that we all had
reason 10 be in a thankful mood
yesterday.
Good crops and fair prices for
their products was abundant rea-
son why the ranchers and fruit
growers should have been in a
happy aud thankful humor yes
terday.
We all had reason to be thank
full that we live in the most
healthfnl climate and in the most
productive valley in the state of
Washington.
The people of Leayenworth had
reason to be thankful that they
live in one of the best and most
prosperous towns in the state.
The Echo had reason to be
in this happy mood because the
people of Leavenworth and the
surrounding country have shown
in most substantial manner that
they appreciate the effort this
paper is making to give them a
good. clean local paper. 1t has
further reason to be thankful for
their unwavering loyalty to a
home made, home printed and
home interested newspaper.

that sheet states: The Leaven-
worth Echo took up this matter
after Mr.. Powles had shown it
to be false, untrue and utterly
without foundation" In making
this statement the Wenatchee
sheet knowingly, deliberately and
wilfully stated a falsehood. If
we could put itmore forcibly, and
still remain within the bounds
of parliamentary language, we
would do so.
'Mark how straight tale will
put you down." The article re-
ferred to was printed in the
Echo of Nov. 18th and the edi-
ton put in the postoffice at 7:30
a. m. on that date. The We
patchee paper containing Mr..
Powle's denial is dated Nov. 10Th,
bnt did not reach this postofice
until Saturday morning Nov. IS,
80 hours after the Echo contain
ing the clipping from the Ad-
vance was printed, and "a hours
after the edition was put in the
pos toffice.

The Whent RIocIknde.

Western wheat terminals are COM
pletely blockaded and there seems to be
no let up. Every mill and warehouse
in Seattle is full to OVERLOOKING, and at
shipping points the condition is just the
same. Never before has the situation
reached the proportions it has this sea-
son. Mills are crowded with orders
and are running night and day, but
they consume only certain amount of
the grain. Exporters did not dream OF
such a crop to handle, and now that
cars are not so scarce, the grain is
swapping them, The terminal ware
houses will have to be stored at initial
points before the situation will be
emedied.-Big Bend Chief.

A very unusual book called "The
Reign of Gilt comes from the pen Of
David Graham Phillips, writer who
Is lover of his country and not at
heart an alarmist. The scene of Mr..
Phillips novel is New York and the
theme ''plutocracy" and democracy"
At the outset the author quotes Bish-
% Henry c. Potter as saying that the
frst Corners to these shores could they
come back today and see the manners,
the dress and the houses of their de-
scendants would think themselves i'll
London in the time of Charles, the
merry monarch" or in Versailles in
the time of Louis XIV, and, while dis
senting from the bishops conclusions,
proceeds to help the moralizing doml-
ME to make good with his descriptions.
Farther on Mr.. Phillips says in this
book, 1.-THE danger is that lest they
who have not seen with their own
eyes may refuse to believe that men
and women can be born under the
American flag wild enough to indulge
in such prodigality and pretense and
folly"
According to this author New York
city has 1000 millionaires whose
wealth is 100000 or more. Over
one-fourth of the milllonaires own
more than $10,OOO,000 and forty-eight
possess fortunes of over $40,O00,OOO,
while score and half Of them range
in wealth between $75,00O,OOO and the
$50. OOO, 900 of John d. Rockefeller,
whose income alone is placed at $4o.-
100000 a year. These millionaires and
multimillionalres dwell in palaces and
in palatial apartment houses and hotels
which have cost from $2,OOO,OOO to
$6,OOO,OOO and the details of their
luxury loving, luxury teaching lives
are given at length. q. A family with an
income Of 100000 supports $2,500,-
600 house in town, a $250,000 cottage

seventy mine, and they have sixty four
horses and thirty-one wagons and car
ringes. This family, man, wife and
children, with their servants and the
guests they entertain, eat, drink and
smoke up $135,000 year. The luxuri-
Gus surroundings of these people, their
dress and jewels, recall descriptions Of
Rome before the fall.
This reign of wealth. Mr.. Phillips de
clares, is breeding spirit of aristo-
cratic cast which causes Europe to
laugh at, but not to fear, America. But
the author does not agree with the Eu-
ropean notion that democracy in Amer
lea IL q failure, as shown by 1.-The reign
of gilt" 1t will take time, he says
for the 100000 Of Americans, sur
charged with democratic ideas, to
weigh, measure and judge. When that
time comes European caste must stand
from under. Universal free education
is "democracy's dynamo" and our ma
tional safeguard against foes within
and foes without the realm. The au-
thor's descriptions are eloquent and
impressive. The vanities and eXtray-
agencies which he assails are real, but
plutocracy, being only phase and
withal a local phase instead of the
whole of American life, can perish
under the weight of its own corruption,
yet the mighty fabric of American So
ciety will stand mistaken.
