The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-10-01

Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of
the treasury, literally throws a fit
over what he alleges would be the
withdrawal from the channels of bust
ness of several hundred millions of
bllars for guarantee of bank deposits.
Mr.. Shaw should not thus take
leave of his ordinary fairness, and
presume on the ignorance of people
to that extent
The logic of Mr.. ShaW's statement
is that necessarily funds created for
guarante of deposits would be physi-
callly segregated in a vault somewhere,
locked up and dealt out piecemeal when
a bank failed.
Mr.. Shaw knows very well that even
the government itself often adopts
common sense in its methods, and does
as business men do.
Assume that no banks ever had eX
listed. Men kept their money in their
safes at their offices. Someone proposed
to establish a bank. Apparently were
Mr.. Shaw of that community he
would inveigh against it because it
would lock up money from the uses
of the business men.
Assume guarantee of bank deposits
established. A fund is created to in
sure deposits. Need it be locked TIP
from business uses? Could not and
would not it naturally remain in
banks somewhere, just as government
funds now are kept in banks except
ing the small sums retained by the
government at Washington and in the
sub treasures for immediate uses?
If Mr.. Shaw will cudgel his mem
DRY and send his secretary to peruse
letter files ana records in Washington
referring to his term as secretary of
the treasury, he will refresh himself on
the facts relating to disposition of
funds while he held that exalted office.

that such wonders as We meet in
seances produce very little effect on
me. They are as normal to me now
as the popping of corn or the roasting

that is not matter of the will, but of
evidence, and the evidence is not yet
sufficient to bring me to any definite
conclusion. In fact, in the broad day
and especially the second day after

rounds US, with its prejudices, its
scheme Of habitual opinions, holds us
in so strong a grasp that we can
scarcely free ourselves completely.

stration, but on habit"
Maxwell says: II believe in these
phenomena, but see no need to at
tribute them to any supernatural inter
vention. I am inclined to think they
are produced by some force within our
selves" Just what he means by that
l can't precisely explain. It's harder
to understand than the spirit hypoth-
esis. He goes on to say that, while he
is certain that we are in the presence
of an unknown force, he is convinced
that the phenomena will ultimately be
found orderly, like all other facts OF
nature. Some future Newton will
discover a more complete formula than
ours" he prophesies. Every natural
fact should be studied and, IL It be
real, incorporated in the patrimony Of

Women Who Marry at Thirty five.
A German doctor lays it down as a
well established fact based on close
observation that women who do not
marry until thirty-hve or thereabout
invariably achieve matrimonial sue

age should make more successful mar
riages than those who fall victims to
loves young dream is fairly obvious.

so for companionship, choosing her

Prominent Republicans Are
All Well Pleased With the
Nomination of Famous War
Secretary.
CITY CELEBRATED
EVENT LAST NIGHT.
Headed by Bands, Hundreds
Of Happy Republicans Pa
raded Streets of the City,
Expressions Given.

Next to Theodore Roosevelt, the re-
publican national convention could
have nominated no more popular man
for the presidency than William H.
Taft in the opinion of the republican
voters of this city. Although Indiana
voted solidly for Fairbanks his candi-
dacy was never popular with the repub-
1icans of this county and city and from
the first they pulled hard for Taft,
and today they are immensely pleased
with his success over Indiana's favor
lite son.
The following are the expressions OF
opinion in regard to the nomination of
Taft, given this morning by some of
the best known residents of this city:
Wilfred Jessup-"I am absolutely sat
isfied with the nomination of Mr.. Taft.
l do not think the republican party
could have made wiser selection"
E. H. Cates-I think that William
H. Taft is the best man the republican
party could have nominated. 1t is
needless to say that / am highly pleas
ed
s. w. Gaar-"Taft was my choice for
the nomination and I am greatly pleas
ed over his nomination. He will make
a strong candidate.
A. J. Spekenhier-"I am greatly
pleased with the nomination of Mr..
Taft"
R. X. Shiveley-"Taft is the strong
est man that the republican party
q will "a
come more popular as the campaign
progresses. He is sure winner
w. w. Schultz-"Taft is a 'humding-
err You bet I am pleased over his
nomination"
Ed "copper" was and am Roose-
Welt man, but Taft is my second
choice. Next to Roosevelt he will
make the strongest candidate the re-
publican party could have selected"
G. L. Cates-"I am great admirer of
Mr.. Taft, and l am pleased over his
nomination"
J. H. Nicholson-"Taft has been my
choice from the very start. I am
greatly pleased with his nomination.
John L. Rupe-"It was evident that
the nominee could be none other than
Taft don't see what men like Fair
banks, Knox, Foraker and the rest,
could mean by permitting their names
to go before the convention. They
surely knew it would mean ignominy
to them and that there was not the
least possibility for them to gain any
consideration"
While collecting these interviews,
the reporter innocently called up A. D.
Gayle of the First National bank.
what is your opinion OF the action of
the republican convention?' he was
asked. After painful pause Mr..
Gayfe replied mildly: Il am a demo
crat." Covered with confusion the
news gatherer brought the interview
to an abrupt close by beating disor-
ganized retreat.
Last evening there was an i'm
promptu celebration of the nomination
of Mr.. Taft. The Richmond City
band and the Republican Drum and
Bugle corps assembled at the court
house and paraded east on Main street
amid the glare of red lights, the
crack Of cannon crackers and the lurid
display of skyrockets. Many people
fell in line back of the musical organi-
cations to help "whoop things up"

in Berlin not far from the emperor's
palace. The neidkopf represents a
hideous. happy faced woman with
snakelike curls and tongue protruding
in hooking derision.
One day some 200 years ago, the
legend runs, Frederick William of
Prussia, more familiarly known as
Old Fritz, was walking about the
streets of the city in the unconvention-
al way he affected when he CHANGED
to look through a window and observed
a hunchbacked goldsmith hard at
work. The king entered the little shop
for chat.
The result Of his interview was an
order for a gold table service for the
royal household, an order that made
the fortune of the hunchback Later
his majesty made other visits to the
shop to see how the work was advanc-
ing, and on one of these occasions he
observed a woman in the window of
the opposite house comforting her face
in the most hideous grimaces and
pointing with derisive finger at the
crippled workman.
To the kings query as to what allied
the old woman the goldsmith replied
&c ,ty l.

majesty so graciously gave me this

investigated as to the ownership of
the house in which the shrew lived.
He found that it belonged to her hus-
band and therefore reasoned that there
was little likelihood Of the family
moving. an idea that seemed greatly to
please his majesty. His next move
was to consult sculptor. whom he
commanded to make the bust of q
woman with the most shrewish, Kan
tippe-like face he could imagine. The
king then bought and renovated the
house in which the hunchback had his
workshop. presented it to him and
caused the bust to be placed conspicu-
ously above the workroom window
Thus whenever the envious woman
across the street looked forth from her
easement the first object on which her
eyes fell was this intended portrait of

HIGH BOYS WILL
PLAY BASKETBALL

Not satisfied with the way the
girls are unfolding the honor of the
school in the basketball line, the
High School boys are forming team
which they will soon put on the field
to contest for honors.
The idea is to play against the
Normals primarily, though the
Highs are not ayerse to meet with
any of the other school teams.
High School has material and to
spare in the picking of Il team. A
number of their men have played on
various boys basketball teams be-
fore and 1t is thought that they will
put up different stunt in basketball
than that which their sister players
are giving.
Among the boys from which the
team will be picked are: Elisha An
drews, George Dwight, Daniel King,
Valentine Marcellino, VIM. Rice, Bert
Mott, and others.
The first game will probably be
pulled off at the High School grounds
this Friday at o'clock.
Saturday was suggested, but thc
last of the games scheduled for the
girls league will be played then al
the High grounds.
