The want Of patriotism Of those
in control Of the Taft Banquet at
Jackson, is without parallel in the
annals of Mississippi history. The
banquet is to be served in a Missis-
sippi hotel by Chicago servants, on
Chicago table-cloths and prepared
by Chicago cooks. The silverware,
china, and all other app int
ments Of the feast are to b. trans
ported from the Windy City.
Mississippi will supply nothing but
the dining room, chairs and the
guests. This reminds sof the story
told by Henry 81. Grady In One Of
his speeches at a New England ban
quet Of what Georgia, his native
state, supplied at funeral of one
Of its citizens. From the East,
came the shrouj IN which tire de-
ceased was buried. The caskrt that
held his remains came from the
West. The hrarse and all funeral
paraphernaHa came from elsewhere.
Georgia supplied only the grave
and the corpse.

PARIS, June 14.-Scandals, scan
dals, scandals! Just at q time when
even the friendliest. critics France
possesses are shrieking the mes
sage Of lost navy into the ears
of the powers that be, scandals
continue to bob up almost with ev.
cry sun.
There are officers being pilloried
for inefiiciency; officers accused OF
sidetracking government ydocu-
ments dealing with naval corrup-
ton; officials are hailed before
courts OF inquiry for selling mill
tary pardons. The most patriotic
French newspapers are crying out
with all their might for general
housekeeping because, as they put
it, the rest of the civilized world is
holding it's nose over the
.putrescent air blowing from the d.
rection of the French republic!
But there's the trouble. To ex-
pose the sores on the body polite
would mean to expose the shame
of the present regime. And natur-
ally the party in power isn't anxi-
GUS to commit suicide.
May "a came the first attempt
to launch the Danton, a cruiser
which France has been about five
years in building. 1t slid halfway
down the ways and stuck. While
knocking the stays away for the
launching the laborers had literally
howled 1.-THE International" the
song of revolutionists, and chanted
the Hymn to Anarchy"
The failure of the ship to take
to water is attributed by all to the
acts of anarchistic government en-
ployes. Yet the government denied
revolutionary songs had been sung
and gave the laborers a letter of
thanks to further draw the wool
over the eyes of the people!
While Great Britain, Germany,
the United States, Japan and other
countries are planning greatly en-
larged navies, France is actually
going backward, not forward. The
Army and Navy, French journal,
says that soon Frances navy will
be completely lost. 1t is growing
obsolete rapidly.
This attitude of the govern
ment's is not fooling the people.
1t is merely making itself all the
more trouble. 1t has not the con-
fidence of either the masses or the
classes, even now, and with every
new affair" it's power lessons. Os-
car Hazard, one of the ablest of
contemporary French writer's, de-
clared, apropos of the selection of

Along the same lines the daily
newspapers and other periodicals
are preaching every day. Here Is
specimen editorial from LIE So
lein, one Of the most prominent Of
the Paris newspapers:
Scandals Of every description
affecting our public men are pub
lished every day. 1t is impossible
but that this constant repetition
must awaken public opinion, and 1t
canont be believed that the people
SO oppressed in their liberties and
threatened in their fortunes will

much longer.

when this regime Of scandals will
be overthrow by strong popular
movement"

BELIEVES IN SPOKANE

Andrew Krewson will erect a
two story lodging house with a
basement half way above the
ground at Spokane and Short
streets. The building will contain
about 40 rooms. The contract will
b let at once, and the cost is esti-
mated at $4,000.
Mr.. Krewson will also, in the
spring, improve the northwest cor
ner of Division street and Pacific
avenue with three story building
to cost about $4,000. He recently
sold the adjoining ground to j. M.

soap works, for $4,000.

risk his life to attempt to prove his
theory. With Stevens, the famous
New York aeronaut, he intends In
September, when Mars, sometimes
100000 miles away, is only
Sc, 100000 miles from the EARTH. tc
ascend as high into the air cushion
as the balloon will go.
The balloon is to be fitted with
wireless apparatus. The receiver
will be placed above the bag
Three fine steel wires will be con
nected with the earth, and down
these wires the supposed messages
will travel. The balloonists will
not know what is passing through
the apparatus. They will merely
be playing the part of the ball that
is on top of a pole 10 miles high.
When they descend they will dis
cover whether or not they have
been successful.
The balloon will be the largest
that can be secured. Professor
Todd and Stevens will sit on chairs
within alright aluminium tanks.
Within these tanks, when the alti-
tude becomes so high that natural
breathing is impossible, the aero
nauts, by merely turning the
cranks of special apparatus can
manufacture oxygen to breathe.
