FORKS ARE OF RECENT DATE.

No English Kins Before Henry VII
the Owner Of One.
Knives and forks are luxury Of
comparatively recent date. Some 800
years ago each man had his own knife
and at dinner seized the Joint and cut
from 1t such portion as he wished and
passed 1t on to his aeighbor, who did
the same. The knife then cut the meat
into smaller bits, which were put into
the mouth with the unoccupied hand.
None Of the sovereigns Of England
had forks till the reign OF Henry VII.
All. high and low. used their flngers
Hence In the royal households there
was dignitary called the ever, who,
with a set Of suborlinates. attended at
the meals with basins. water and
towels. The survival ofewery was evil.
dent after forks had come Into fash.
ion. When James l. entertained the
Spanish ambassador at a dinner ''thelr
majesties washed their hands with
water from the same ever, the towels
being presented to the king by the lord
treasurer and to the queen by the lord
high ADMIRAL" The Prince Of Wales
had a ever to himself, which was after.
ward used by the ambassador.
The 6rst royal parsonage III England
who was known to have fork was
Queen Elizabeth, but ~ Is doubtful
whether she ever used 1t. Forks came
80 slowly into use that they. were en-
ployed only by the higher classes at the
middle Of the seventeenth century.
About the period of the revolution, 1889
few English noblemen had more than
a dozen forks Of silver, along with a
few Of Iron and steel. At length the
steel fork came In for general use and
was manufactured In Sheffield. At flrst
they had two prongs. but afterward an.
other prong was added.

Republicans Believe in ROOSeyeIt'S Policy

To recent inquiry as to how they
stood with reference to the candidacy
Of Mr.. Taft Congressman HUMPHREYS
turned a deaf ear and Mr.. Cushman
made rather facetious answer. Mr..
Humphries' declination indicates that
he does not indorse the policy OF the
president, and Mr.. Cushman's reply
that any one OF half dozen promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the presidency would suit him must
mean that Mr.. Foraker or Mr. Fairbanks
OF Mr.. Cannon would be satisfactory
to him. If Mr.. Humphries and Mr..
Cushman will get in touch with the
republican voters Of the State of Wash
ington they will learn that notwith-
standing Mr.. Roosevelt has pos
lively declined to be a candidate he IS
still the choice of four-ffths OF the re-
publican voters of the state, not be-
cause of his name, but because OF his
fearless and absolutely impartial policy
Of inforcing the law. The republican
voters Of Washington would as promptly
repudiate the nomination of Mr.. Fora
ker or Mr.. Fairbanks as they would the
nomination OF Mr.. Chancellor Day or
Mr.. Hartman for president. The
people of the state of Washington
yes, We honestly believe that three
fourths of the voters in the states west
of the Mississippi and sout Of the Po-
tomac, earnestly and honestly favor the
Roosevelt policy of administering the
law without regard to the effect that it
might have on business.
If Messrs. Cushman and Humpries
want to be in harmony with the views
and wishes of the majority of their
constituents, then We would suggest
that they do not antagonize the Roose-
welt policy. The president is just as
much a favorite with the republican
voters of Washington today as he was
eighteen months ago when the rep
convention met in the opera house in
Seattle and Messrs. Cushman and
Hnmphries occupied seats on the
platform.

nemesis to that class OF financial aristo-
Gratis who have handled and lived upon
other peoples money so long, and
with so little protest, that they have
come to the conclusion that the doctrine
oflese majestic applies to their affairs.
IF the mere statement Of Mr.. Roose-
welt that the law would be enforced as
to rich and poor alike, and that the
same yardstick would be used in meas
uring the crimes of the great as well
as the small, should have brought on
panic, in my opinion, there could not
have been a better time for it than the
present.
SO far from being menace to bust
ness in the West, it is, beyond doubt,
true that the President is more strongly
en1enched in the good opinion of the
people than at any time in the history
of his administration. We do not be-
heve him to be absolutely invaluable,
but we do believe him to be honest,
square and just, and, in bringing the
financial leaders as well as the financial
buccaneers to realization of the fact
that our laws are going to be enforced
with equal justice to all, he has made
no mistake, but demonstrated back
bone that the people generally apprec-
late and indorse."

Is the President a Menace to Business!

II the question was addressed to the
Chancellor Of the Syracuse University
or any of his clients the answer would
undoubtedly be in the affirmative.
That the President is a menace to
the business methods Of the Rookie
fellers, Harrimans, Ryans and all of
that ilk, he has made quite evident,
but not any more so than he is a men
ace to the business Of the cutpurse,
the fooipad and the holdup man The
principal involved in the business
methods Of any one or all is just the
same. The difference lies only in the
amount secured. The methods Of the
former are really Of lower order, for
the reason that they are based on con-
fdence, whereas in the methods OF the
latter there is some danger to the person.

announced as a candidate for Congress,

PASSENGER DIVISION MARCH
All Passenger Crews VIII Change Here
Means Addition of Forty or
fifty To Popu-
tasion

An order has been promulgated,
effective after the first Of March, under
which Leayenworth viii be a passenger,
as it has always been a freight division.
This means that eight conductors and
sixteen brakemen viii lay over here
from eight to eighteen hours. Some
of these men VIII undoubtedly bring
their families here and thus add to the
population Of the town. This change
was made 10 conform TO the law which
goes into effect on the first Of March
making it q punishable oHense to keep
men on the road more than 10 hours.
It is also probable that the telegraph
force viii have to be increased as the
same law provides that operators hav-
ing TO do with the running Of trains
must not be employed more than eight
consecutive hours. It was the belief
Of the law makers that the long hours
Of telegraph operators and train crews
was responsible for many Of the col
issions and consequent loss Of life.

headlines telling Of the opening Of
some large plant that was closed down
during the October money trouble and
the unemployment of three, FIVE or
eight thousand men. This leads to
but one conclusion which is that the
closing down and throwing out Of en-
ployment Of these men was withheld
nom the news columns of the news
papers in November and December.
Every reader viii remember that
scarcely single account Of the closing
down Of large plant and consequent
throwing out Of employment Of large
numbers of men was chronicled in the
newspapers. Why was this, and how
was the SUPPRESSION of the facts secured?

SPECIAL NOTICE.
About Time for Reason to Assert Itself

The mild suggestion, conveyed thru
the medium of an illustration on the
first page of The Echo, last week,
indicating that the town council was in
the way Of making itself ridiculous in
the view Of the public, must have
missed the mark wide council pro
ceedings.) Should the trouble be
taken into the courts, as now seems
likely. il may become necessary for the
taxpayers to intervene and ask the
court 10 issue a restraining order to
prevent all parties to the controversy
from making d-n fools Of them
selves and the town something to be
laughed at.
To an onlooker the trouble between
the mayor and the council has the APP
peGance of a quarrel between two
overgrown school boys. S,ubbornness
and apparently a fixed determination
on the part Of the members Of the
council and the mayor to each have
his own way, utterly regardless of the
rights and the interests Of the public
appears 10 be the controlling motive.

Can Not Profit By Experience of Others

Leslie NJ. Shaw once secretary of
the treasury under Roosevelt, kind Of
left over from the lamented Mckinley
administration, is a self-constituted
organizer Of the capitalistic forces op-
posed to Mr.. Taft. He made trip to
Chicago last week and called on the
Armours and others of that stripe. He
urged some two or three to take charge
of the movement in the windy city,
but they plead press of private affairs
and such other convenient excuses as
one can invent when he does not want a
job. Evidently they remember the
dismal fate of Mr.. Foraker and some
others who took hold Of a horn the
opposite end Of which was in the hands
OF the president. When asked where
the funds would come from TO finance
his scheme he remarked lightly, oh
that's easy, I'll get all the money
necessary without any trouble" Mr..
Shaw has undertaken the job OF weld
ing all the opposition in the repub-
lican party into a compact organization.
He says he fayors such conservative
candidates as Fairbanks, Cannon or
himself. He might just as well have
added those other conservatives
Chancellor Day and Mr. Hartman, to
his list
