His critics could find no military

devotion and no moral courage in
this man, while he was fighting

join in the cheers of approval that
came from the great heart of the
people.
"The critics misrepresented the
first citizen as he quietly circled
the globe with the mOdesty and
dignity of an American gentleman,
but the people gave Grant such a
welcome on his return as had never

man in America.

Editor The Press:-What does
this justification without investiga-
ton in the old soldiers, ]. H. Ell
lott, case mean? 1t seems to me
that there has been quite enough
"hinkey dinkey, ranekaboo" efforts
made to ignore and cover up the
real facts in this case from the
public and to frivolously set aside
the sworn affidavits and signed
statements and accept in lieu there
of the statements of newspaper re-
porters for the facts, on the side
of the justifiers. Not one of the
parties accused in this case have
made sworn statement in self
defense or had a denial over his
own name, but on the other hand
has had a reporter to take the re-
sponsibility and make the defense
for him. Now, if this matter is to
be settled by the reporters for the
papers friendly to the police, why
not give both sides, the plaintiff
and the defendant, like chance.
There has never been reporter
for the papers defending the police
to interview the parties making the
statements.
The whole of the wOuld-be de-
Tense in this case reminds one of
the two traditional animals, the os-
trich and the skunk. The ostrich,
when pressed or feeling that he is
in great danger and liable to lose
his plumage, seeks the first con-
venient place he can find, either a
shrub or loose sand, and there puts
his head under cover, without any
thought of the great bulk of his
extremity that is exposed. The
skink, when pursued and caught in
the hen house, will withdraw, but,
who has been in the hen house.
And it is hard to remove the stencil

systematic methods.

MA Y HAVE TWO
FINE CITY BANDS

Should Spokane's people vote for
the park bonds, they may have two
city bands instead of one here dur
ing the coming summer. One will
be stationed at the north end of the
city in the outlying parks, to fur
nish music to residents Of those
neighborhoods where, under the ar
former seasons, the people were
unable to enjoy the Sunday after
Moons and evenings in the parks
with music. because of the distance
to the pleasure resorts closer to
the heart of the city.
