CHARITY WITHOUT OSTENTATION

This great principle Of the Bennevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks was
very beautifully exemplified by the
local order on Christmas morning. when
a committee from the lodge could be
seen going from house TO house in the
binding snow storm with wagon laden
with good things for the poor and suf-
fering Of this city. This charity was
dispensed without regard TO race. color
or sect. and wherever one could be
found who was in need a basket was
left. While a number Of our people
knew from whence came these gifts,
those delivering them never mentioned
to those whom they visited from what
source these gifts came.
In this practice the Elks lodge truly
practices that great principle of the
order, charity and in 50 doing many
a home was made brighter and many a
heart happier.

Stevens County Sighted?

The Sp ,kesman-Revie is plan
ming to issue special anniversary
number which will deal with the
resources of the state of Washing
ton and the Spokane country, and
this issue will be sent all over the
world for the small sum of 10 cents
per copy. 1t is an excellent scheme
Tor the portrayal of the bounties Of
Eastern Washington and will un-
doubtedly be Of immense benefit
to somebody. But Stevens county
is just now wondering if it will be
noticed in the big issue, or whether
it will meet the same fate as of old
in having it's space given to the
sand hills of Spokane county. the
Big Bend, Idaho. Oregon, or some
other section.
The Spokesman Review has re-
Gently issued beautiful folder.
showing 26 half-tone views of fruit
and fruit raising sections of the
northwest. British Columbia,
Hood River, Ore, Boomers Ferry,
Idaho, Lake Chelan, Yakima and
Walla Walla were given prominent
mention and views, but the very
richest section tributary to Spo-
kane-the Columbia river valley in
Stevens county-was not mention
ed at all. OF course this is all very
pleasing to the residents of this
county, who hel o to support the
Review and desire some help in
return. but there is something rad
ically wrong somewhere. It may
be the fault Of the people of this
county. If so, it is time they were
taking some action. in view of the
of the large number Of visitors who
will come west to the exposition
this summer. If the Review itself
is at fault, it might be explained
on the same theory as that prac-
ticed by the Great Northern rail
way-the business here is GER
tainty, so what's the use of doing
anything.
Time will tell whether it pays
railroads or newspapers to watch
Stevens county, for the people who
have made their homes here are
likely to have as good a memory as
those who are urged by various
real estate schemers to exc out a
meager living on poor soil in other
places in the west.-Colville Ex-

Notwithstanding the fact that
Theodore Roosevelt more than
William Howard Taft is RESPONSE
BILE for the latter now being presi-
dent, and Notwithstanding the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt has been
the United States government for
the past seven years. and notwith-
standing the fact that the citizens
of the United States love Theodore
Roosevelt more than any other
living man, yet but a few days
after he retired from the White
House he set sail for a foreign land
to be absent fully half of Taft's
thereby completely divorcing him
self from the affairs of the govern
ment and leaving President Taft
to do as suits him best, all of which
makes him the most remarkable
man in the world. It has been
said of Mr.. Roosevelt that he is the
uncrowned king of the world, and
it is not an exaggeration. Though
absent from his native land and
though divorced from governmental
affairs, yet his works live on and
his reforms are growing every day,
and the entire civilized world is
learning to love and admire him
lust as much as the citizens of the
