That story about the government
having been robbed of few million
dollars in the Panama canal deal
has some of the characteristics OF
the ghost of the lamented King
Hamlet. Every effort has been made
10 shut off the men who have made
the charges; the newspapers VIII ch
have published accounts of the steal
have been threatened with libel
suits; President Roswell has en-
deavored to convince the people and
congress that there is nothing in the
report; every possible effort has been
made TO hush up and cover up, but
no sooner is one man silenced than
another bobs up with statements
which are even more startling than
those made by the predecessors. The
first charges We're made during the
campaign and possibly because OF the
campaign little attention was paid to
them, but the persistence of the pres
ent administration in its efforts to
quiet the matter has only served to
fan the flames and the people are
beginnig to think that "where
there is much smoke there must be
some fire"

and Is respected, the direct purpose

Furthermore, there exists through

prosecutions should only be had in
the federal courts in matters strictly

where no adequate remedy elsewhere

Spokane Letter

Spokane, Wash, J&hA 27. 20. w.
Lewis, a pioneer resident of Spokane,
who was private in Battery G, First
Ohio, celegrated the forty-seventh
anniversary of the Battle of Mill
Springs, Kentucky at his home there
where among his guests were former
members of Indiana, Ohio and Min
nesota regiments This is MIR.
Lewis version of one of the first
battles of the Civil war. in which
General Thomas and men figured.
"ew advanced to within two miles
of Mill Springs on the evening of
January 1S, 1862. Early the follow
ing morning we we're awakened by
the rattle of musketry and the long
roll Of the Tenth Indiana, the
Ninth OHIO and the Second Mime
sofa. The Ninth, under Colonel
Robert NIcCool, made the first
charge and met with stubborn re-
sistance from the Confederates, Of
whom there must have been at least
1000. Soon, however, the CALLING
cross-fire of the Tenth Indiana and
the Second Minnesota on the left and
right and the Fourteenth Kentucky
on the rear, coupled with the un.
timely death of the Confederate's
commander, was too much for the
boys in gray and they beat a
hasty retreat to their fort on the
bank of the Cumberland river. They
abandoned their stronghold during
the night of January 1920, leaving
arms, ammunition, provisions and
hospital supplies. 1t was a fine vic
tory for Thomas and his men,"
