At the anniversary diner of the Silk

Temple Graves was one of the speak
ers In responding to the toast of
Our Country" Col. Graves said in
part:
There has been a period of great

position to visit that depression upon
the shoulders of a great American.

that the conditions which surround
us now are not so much due to the
man who has turned on the light
as they are to that light which has
been uncovered.
For myself, l stand here. tonight
as an American citizen, member of
an opposition party, not governed or
bound by any tie to the Administra-
ton which rules US, and l believe the
time will come when we will agree
with one accord that the Republic in
which we live, owes no higher debt
to any man than to that brave and
strenuous American, who, undaunted
by criticism, and unterrified by mis-
A.

fairly thrills with patriotism and

Scrubb.no the Elephant.

Ever see an elephant scrubbed? No?
Then you should have been among
chose present. at the semi annual
bath of Hattie and Jewel, two pugna-
cious pachyderms who envelop them
selves semi-annually in part of Gen.
trail parks real estate, until all that is
visible is a couple of pairs of beady
eyes, peering out from two mountains
of dried mud.
This, then, is how they resurrected
Hattie and Jewel
First of all large steel brushes about
the calibret Of harrow teeth wire were
used by the keepers to remove the out
er layer of dirt and grease. Jewel
(who, from the feminine standpoint,
isn't within 10 laps Of her name),
fought viciously as the steel wires
worked into her peres-and she wasn't
thin skinned at that. After getting the
hook she subsidized. Hattie seemed to
enjoy the tickling sensation and purred
through her trunk.
Following the scraping process, the
thick hides were coated with water
proof oil until they became se-slippery
the old-time acrobatic zoo flies slip
ped and fell off the shining hides. After
the oil dried in, more was applied and
at last accounts Jewel and Hattie were
out in the sun using each other for
mirrors.

February 1909.

ors there is no opposition at all to
his plan of guaranteeing bank deposits:
but. in spite of his statement, deposit
ors will probably think twice before
they give solemn approval to the plan'
why should this country follow MI.
Bryan into a financial experiment that
miaht invite disaster? But Mr.. Bryan
saws it isn't an experiment, and he
cites Oklahoma's experience to cllncn
the point.
'Yet, Grant Foreman, a lawyer or
Oklahoma, writes in a recent issue OF
the independent that, while the new
plan has brought a feeling of security
TO depositors' it is still too early TO
say how it will be regarded by ma
iority of Them Moreover, Mr.. Fore
man is fair enough to say it is not
vet known whether or not the new
law will give way when tested by the
principles of good banking, or whether
it will fall when tried by the next
panic
These statements indicate that Mr..
Foreman is not quite SO sure of the
efficacy and value OF the new law as
Mr. Bryan seems to be. Financial eX-
periments are dangerous, but the dam
ger seems not to appeal to Mr.. Bryan.
However, the American people re-
fused to adopt Mr. Bryan's financla'
heresy in 1896, and it is more than
likely that they will again decline 10
fellow him into possible error in 19OS.''

A Boost for Ankeny.

Editor Statesman: Knowing that
your columns are open for discussion
of public affairs, / take this opportu-
nifty to invite attention to few phases
of the senatorial question upon which
it appears to me there has not peen
enough emphasis laid.
In the first place, the rolls OF the
United States senate show that at
the last session Levi Ankeny voted
for the joint resolution introduced by
Owen of Oklahoma, providing tnat
United States senators be elected by
direct vote of the people. The reso-
luton failed by vote of 20 for to So
against. Senator Ankeny's name IS
first on the list of those voting for It,
An immediate result of Collier s
undertaking article attacking Senator
Ankeny is as indignant protest signed
by 200 of the leading business men OF
Spokane They denounce In unmeas-
ured terms the animus and motive OF
the assault, which seeks by mlsrep-
resentation and falsehood to Under
mine the senator's character. The tes-
timoniaI by the business men is sign
ed by men who have known the senator
for a quarter of century, and speak
in highst terms of his uprightness ana
SQUARE dealing. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that Ankeny will now carry
Spokane county by large majority.
The vicious methods of his political
enemies are making votes for the sem
ior senator.
