Why No Proof!

But no one was at hand at once
to disprove it. Mr. Parker, Mr..
Cleveland's secretary, was off on
his vacation Mr. Frank Hastings
was off on yacht. Mr.. Cleveland
was beyond the reach of telephone
or wire. Why ten days have passed,
however, without some authorized
statement it is not easy to divine
unless the Benedicts are allowing
their devotion to Taft to override their
loyalty to Cleveland: because in every
possible way the matter as it stands is
hurtful TO the name and fame of the
late eX-President.
Mr. CleVeland's bitterest enemy
could want nothing more hurtful. In
this article written before the nOmi-
nation of either Taft or Bryan, Mr..
Cleveland is made to anticipate and
assume the nomination of BOTH he
is made to appear the ardent and
familiar friend Of Taft, whom, there
is reason to believe, he personally
scarcely knew, if he had ever met at
all, and he equally anticipates and
assumes the extinction of the Demo-
cratic party, which will poll not less
than 1000, 600 votes at the coming
election, and has Considerably more
than a fighting chance of sweeping
the country, being better united than
it has been, since 1892, when Mr..

ly strengthens the span of life.
Sir James told the scientists that
by using the ''neurostone" he himself
has been enabled to give up eyeglass-
es which he had used for years, and
that it has made him generally more
active, younger.
The fact that the "neurostone" is
the first instrument to aid the human
digestion by means Of electricity has
aroused interest especially in Canada,
for some reason.

"NeurOstone" Gives Longevity.

Sir James Grant highly interested
the leaned members of the British
association with a description of his
':youthgiving machine" as it is called
unscientifically. Sir James calls the
instrument "neurostone.
Dry cells supply electricity to the
"neurostone." which acts directly on
inactive nervous centers, or those
which are poisoned, in effect, by noX-
ious gases formed in the system as
person grows older. Electricity, as
Sir James Grant applies it, cleans

Mr.. Watterson then analyses the
tier as follows:
Mr.. Taft's excellence as a Federal
7 udgt is not to be oyeremphasized ::
lis high ideals of honesty and jus
ice are valuable and commenda-
tory"
This is not like Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
was not his wont to slop over in
personal adulation, nor it is charac-
tertistic of a certain prudence and
reserve with usually marked his
writing that he should thus sur
render the convictions and the con
nections of lifetime for the sake
of public man like Judge Taft, or an
issue such as our insular posses
sions and our foreign policy. If
Mr.. Cleveland did this his mind had
gone astray, enfeebled by illness and
quite oTershadowed by approaching
death; but there is a good ground
for the belief that at the time this
matter is alleged to have been writ
ten Mr. Cleveland was in no eondi-
ton to write anything. Ii reads as
if written after and not before the
two recent national conventions.
The other extract featured by
the New York paper appears in these
words:
The South has long taken a stub
born, foolish pride in its enlistment
under the Democracy, and has stood
like a rock in its partisanship"
Why He is Skeptical
1t is simply inconceiyable that
after the support Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived from the Southern people
thrice their nominee for President
and twice elected President of the
United States by them-that he should
without reyelance or reason, thus
rebuke and insult them for holding
to the only party standing between
them and the Federal oppression and
negro rule, a party that had twice
made him President, and in its last
national convention, had most signal
ly honored his memory.
If Mr.. Cleveland has any real or
true friends left they had better
get busy" as the saying is, to
rescue his memory from such an
outrage If the letter is genuine it
is sure proof that he was in no fiji
state to write it, and that it. should
not have been given to the public. II
it is not genuine the truth should

aid, and to make doubly sure she
attempts to force Aria to drink a
cup of druggej wine. Aria at last
rebels, refuses to drink the wine,
denounces the duchess and braves
the prison with her father. There
are number of strong characters
in the play, more than are ordinar-
lily found in a similar piece. George
McQuarrie is cast as the baron.
Robert Siddell as Keller, the sec
rotary, is conspicuous in the play,
as is Miss Cleveland, who plays
the role of the conspiring duchess.
The play readily lends itself to an
elaborate production, and every
thing in connection with the piece
will be new and built especially for
the performance. Following as it
does the strong drama "In the Bis
hops Carriage" an opportunity
will be afforded to compare the
company in two dramas Of an en-
tirely dissimilar character.

AUDITORIUM

"The Power Behind the Throne"
will be the play for the coming
week, and in it the Shirley Co. has
one of the strongest dramas it has
ever played. 1t was presented
about two years ago and met with
big success, Miss Shirley's por-
trayal of the role of Aria Winter
being artistic and meritOrious. The
play is far above the ordinary both
in plot and action, as well as call
ing for elaborate stage settings and
costumes. Aria Winter, the heroine
, in the play, is beloved by Baron
Ronald Hohenlohe, the son of the
! president of an Austrian princi-
pality, and the father is deter
mined to break up the match. To
accomplish his purpose the father
and mother of the girl are arrest
ed and before they can be released
Aria is compelled to write letter
in which she admits she is CO
quette and faithless to her sweet
heart. This letter is given to the
baron and to make the victory com
plete Aria is forced to face him
and ridicule his love. The Duchess

COLUM BIA

Here's something that's good
whether you have seen it before or
not, and the chances are that you
haven't. For next week the Co
lumbia Co. plays why Smith Left
Home" It's The sort of comedy
that shouldn't and couldn't be o.
lerized, for it goes a long ways to-
wards preserving the audience from
qualifying for anything OF that
kind. Smith is a thoroughly good
fellow and a man of business. He
finds time, however, to win a
charming lady for his wife, and
they plan an extended honeymoon.
No sooner were they married than
all the relations on either side be.
gan to make Smiths home thei.
headquarters. Especially agrees
sive is a certain old aunt of Mrs.
Smith. So aggravating does she
become that Smith casts about for
some means to get rid of her, and
finally induces the cook to serve
the poorest meals possible, hoping
this would have the desired effect,
but to no purpose. The suspicious
old aunt gets Smith pretty badly
twisted up; so much so, that his
own wife begins to doubt him, and
some of the inexplicable situations
would seem to justify her sus-
picions. Smith finally makes ev-
erything right with his wife and
they agree to quietly slip away on
their delayed honeymoon and leave
the relatives to run things to suit
themselves. The reason why
Smith left home is because he
loved his wife. Funny, isn't it?
Willis Hall and Julia Gray play the
roles of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith. Both
have become well enough known
to Columbia audiences to need no
further recommendation for the
parts, and their support is entirely
sufficient.

MUSICAL EVENT TUESDAY

One of the most interesting and
important musical events in Spo-
kane is the great living flag of pu-
pills from the city schools which is
to sing at the armOry next Tues
day afternoon, accompanied by the
entire Chicago symphony orchestra
of GA members. Under the direc-
ton Of Miss Grace Holman, super
visor of music, the chorus has been
rehearsing all year for the event,
and has attained an astonishing de-
gree of ensemble perfection. This
is the first time that such an en-
terprise has been attempted in the
West. Back East, in the leading
cities, such large young peoples
choruses always attract larger
crowds than any other concert Of
ferings, even when great orches-
ira cannot be secured to give the
grand balance Of tone. No more
inspiring strains of music could be
heard than will fill the armory next
Tuesday afternoon. The last num-
Der to be sung is medley OF ma
tional airs which is sure to cause
a big demonstration, especially dur
ing the rendition of Dixie and
"Mv Country IT'S of Thee" The
orchestra will give one of it's great
est symphony selection, Overture
1912, by Tschaikowsky. And Ar
thur Middleton, the basso with the
orchestra, will give a stirring solo
The orchestra will also give three
other symphony numbers.

HAD To CLEAN
OUT STANFORD

In a quiet and confidential talk
to the Stanford alumni of this city
last night Pres. David Starr Jor-
dan disclosed the inside of the re-
cent demonstrations against the
faculty of the big college in man
ner that left no doubt but the right
course had been pursued in en-
forcing higher grade of discipline,
He addressed about 25 former Stan
ford students at banquet in the
Hunters room of the Silver Grill.
There revelations made were as
founding to the men who were en-
rolled at the big college five years
ago, showing conditions to have be-
come a disgrace not only to the
state of California, but to the mem
DRY of the honored Sen. stanford,
who endowed the university with
an immense fortune as a monument
to his son, who death at the age OF
16 was a blow the senator never
recovered from.
With the wedding out that has
been accomplished at Stanford
since the present trouble began,
and what is contemplated before
the faculty will be satisfied, the
university will be restored to the
standing it assumed at its founda-
ton among institutions of learning
the world over. The president was
given plenty of assurance of SYM
pathy and support last night from
tho SnOkane men who finished
their education at PalO Alto.
