MONOTONY
 IF SUNDAY Partially Broken by COPPe- SpORdGnCe From White House PRESIDENT FINDS TIME
To Reply to Charges Relat- ing to the Panama Canal Purchase and Also to Toss a Bouquet in the Direction of the New York Sun.

Hot Springs. Dec. 6.-Wm. Dudley Foulks today made public the corre- spondence with President Roosevelt in which the president answered certain questions relating to the Panama canal purchase in which he was severely criticised by the Indianapolis news, both before and after election. The charges of the News included those that the United States bought from American citizens for S40.OO0. 900. prop erty that cost but Sl2000, ,0O0, that the presidents brother-in-law, Douglas F"binsOn was involved in the scandal
 q that Carles P. Taft was a member S. the syndicate. The reply of the president states that the conduct of Delavan Smith, the editor of the News is not merely scandalOus, but infamous.
 The presidents denies that his broth er-in-laW, Robinson had anything to do with the sale and says that as the money was paid direct to the liquida- tor appointed by the French govern ment no syndicate could possibly have had any thing to do with the matter. For this reason it was impossible that Chas- P. Taft was a member. He de-
 
 the Panama business are private, say ing that they are accessible to any body at any time, and also the hint that some have been destroyed. saying all are at Washington with the excep- tion of few in Panama.
 Continuing the president says: "De- lavan Smith is a conspicuous offender against the laws of honesty and truth fUlness. but he does not stand alone He occupies, for instance, the same evil eminence of such men as Laffan. of the New York Sun, the editorials of whose paper you or others, time and time again have called my attention to. I never see the editorials of any of these or similar papers unless they are sent me, and there are hardly any of there that do not contain some wilful diliberate perversion of the truth"
 h regard to one of these editorial of Se Sun, connecting President Roose- yelt with the Prairie Oil franchise, he said he had looked up the matter and found that he had granted a franchise to the company on the recommendation of Secretary Hitchcock. He says,

A ScORCHING SUN
Mr. Laffan's Heated Comments on the
 Presidents Letter.


 New York. Dec. 6.-Mr. Laffan re- plying tonight to the presidents letter said that notwithstanding the direct ness of the challenge. he declines a with the president.
 He continues: Roosevelt has shown in his frequent collisions with various persons of distinction that he has an advantage over any re- spectable antagonist in his (Roosevelts) complete freedom from any sense of personal obligation to respect the truth The editor of the Sun Is fully alive to the extremity of the incOn- venience which attaches to a personal with a man who has shown himself capable of the suppress sion of perversion of individual corre- spondence It is curious that Foulks should be the preferred repository of the confidences of the president. It was to him that Roosevelt wrote his memorable letter denying the using of federal patronage in aid of Tafts can didacv. a letter which at once took its place among the most valued gems from that incunabu!a of veracity."

MEMORIAL SERVICES Annual Service of EIks for b-
 sent Brothers TRIBUTE TO THE DEPARTED
Were Made by Eugene Brady O'Neil, and Frank De Souza-Music Furnished by the Finest Talent in Phoenix.

The beautiful and mystic memorial service of the Elks in memory of the members of that order who have pas sed away during the year was held yesterday afternoon in the Elks theater. The auditorium was complete ly filled by o'clock and at half past two. when the services began, the rear of the hall and the aisles were filled with those who could not obtain seats.
 Members of B. P. O. F. who died during the year, and in whose memory the service was held. are Frank Hart well. Thomas D. Bennett. W. c. Gran der, N. o. Murphy. A. l.. Stephens. J. NJ. Burnett and A. J. Gosart. The principal addresses were delivered by Eugene Brady O'Neill and Frank De Souza The musical program was un- usually fine. some of the best talent in the city being engaged for the oc- casiOn.
 The front part of the theater was transformed into garden of flowers Roses and chrysanthemums interwoven with delicate sprigs of pepper were the basis of the decorative scheme. The front of the stage was covered with these flowers and at each end were two large palm trees. At the back of the stage a drop curtain representing a woodland scene formed the back ground for a frontage of palms. Seven chairs over the backs of which bands of ribbon of the Elks colors-white and purple-%ere drawn, stood at the left of the stage in memory of the absent ones. At the rear of the stage was a church organ brought to the theater for the occasion, and in front was the speakers desk ornamented with an elk's head with spreading antlers.
 The service was in charge of Paul Renau Ingles. exalted ruler. It opened with a funeral march by the orchestra led by Eugene Redewill. Miss Alice RedewiIl was the organist. The march was composed by E. R. Redewill and was to the memory of brother Elk, J. M. Burnett.
 Exalted Ruler Ingles then called the roll of the dead, repeating the name of each man three times. This was fol- lowed by the Mystic ritual peculiar to the order of the Elks which was led by Exalter Ruler Ingles and responded to by G. P. DriscOIl. esteemed knight; Frank De Souza, leading knight; w. L. Carver, lecturing knight; I. J. Lip sohn, secretary and H. H. McNeil, treasurer
 A flute solo by Miss Grace Peck ac- companied by the orchestra was then given. It was entitled Parting" from Leonore by Raff This was followed by the opening ode and the invocation by the Rev. Orville Coats. A male quartette. consisting of D. w. Nichols, E. P. Wilson, Frank Hildebran, and Harry Weik sang Lear, Kindly Light" by Dudley Buck.
 Eugene Brady O'Neill delivered a euolOgy on the Brotherhood of the EIks." In part MT. O'Nein said.
 "The Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks is strictly an American order. It is under the protection of the stars and stripes. Every Elk, who IS a true Elk, is taught that he must be
Arizona republican., 1908-12-07

ready at any time to protect the honor of his country.
 Tt is founded on justice, charity, brotherly love and fidelity. The prin- ciples of justice are first taught to those who enter our order-not the cold principles of justice as the world knows it, but rather the divine attribute tenn pered with mercy. This is not accom- plished in day, a week or a year. An Elk must remember that the diamond which daZZles the eye with its beauty and light was once a piece of carbon shaded like the night. In the cutting the carbon becomes a gem of light and the true Elk developes nobler wishes and nobler thoughts.
 "The principles of justice will teach him charity. It will not be the cold charity of aims giving but that which teaches consideration for others. for their actions; the charity that teaches us to gladden. the hearts of the mourn full, to go out into the highways and bywaYs seeking the oppressed and suf- fering and those who are about to pass to the mystic beyond and come at last into the presence of the Grand Exalted Ruler of all.
 Beside the principles of charity to all and justice. we teach the brother hood of man. Every man has an Obli gatiOn to his fellow man. He should bear with his faults and let the feeling of brotherhood cover those faults as a mantle of charity. He must hasten to his aid in sickness and in sorrow. It is not for him to lead a life of ease and selfinshness. He. must so live that he will leave behind him trail of noble acts of hope and jOy-for he passes this way but once.
 It is for the Elk to show that he be- lieves and loves the principles of the order.'
 MT. O'Neill closed his address by re- citing the poem, "AbOu Ben Adhem.'
 Mir De SOuza delivered the memorial address to Our Absent Brothers" It was as follows:
 From out the unknown they came and into the unknown they have gone. Like the fragrance of the new blown rose they came to us in the morning from the hand of the supreme creator. living lives of kindly deeds, and like the gently dying zephyr they left us at the end of the day to suffer and mourn, each of them bravely needing that masterful voice from out the mysteri- ous darkness of eternity, which calls but once and accepts no answer but obedience.
 And as they peacefully sleep, wait ing for that judgment summons, which to all of us means the rendering of an account of the good and the bad that is in us, we gather in sadness and in sorrow to lay on their ever green sepulchres floral wreaths of memorial tribute that our grief may be assuaged by the relief of the tear drop, the smothered sob and the lonely pain we each must bear in solitude.
 Not that they were great and mer- ited mans praises, or that fortune smiled upon them to reward honest toii and not that they were gifted as the world rates men according to it's standards do we love and esteem them. but because all were such good com paniOns and so thoughtful of the wei fare of others.
 Tn every breast there beats heart pure in thought, word and deed; men
