TURNERSOUNOS
DEMOCRATIC
KEYNOTE
THERE SHALL BE NO Recess
SION IN FIGHT FOR THE
COMMON PEOPLE.
GOV. NORRIS DIFFERS

Undoubtedly the event of the
evening at the annual banquet by
the Jefferson society of Spokane
last night was the clear and forci-
BILE statement of his position on
national questions by Judge George
Turner and his belief in what the
democratic party should stand for
if it is to be of service to the peo-
pie.
That there shall be no recession
from the principles the party has
fought for in the last Ia years, and
that the democracy of the nation
shall stand for the right rather
than mere party victory, was the
position of ex-senator Turner
While expressing his belief that
Bryan should not again aspire to
be the standard bearer in a presi-
dental campaign, he lauded Bryan
and his principles and said that he
was right
The keynote sounded by Judge
Turner met with the endorsement
of large majority of those pres
ent, which was manifested by the
cheers that greeted him and the
personal congratulations on his
stand rendered him after the close
of his remarks
Notable at the same time was the
address of Governor Norris of Ne
braska, who pleaded that the demo-
cratic party drop the pursuit of
"fads and fancies" and the quest
of the mirage" of political success
and turn to the safe and sane"
doctrines of the fathers. This was
opposite TO the views of Turner.
The governor made a strong plea
for the state ownership and con-
troll of power sites and termed the
ROosevelt-PinchOt idea of conserva-
ton sentimental" one, that the
only practical plan was for the
state TO own the ground on the
river bank as well as the water
that runs down the stream, which
il now controls. Power sites and
charges for power sold to the peo-
pie should be left with the states.
He favored a public service COM
mission TO control the trusts.
one OF the most eloquent talks
of the evening was the address of
Charles A. Reynolds of Seattle on
The Decadence of the United
States Senate" He contrasted the
men in the senate in the days of
Jefferson with the senate leaders
of today. giving effective citations
of the views of the leaders of the
two periods. He cited jefferson and
Taft as fair sample of how the
mighty have fallen" Education
was given as the remedy for this
condition. He commended the
muck raker who turned the search
light on corruption in high places,
and said that the people are awak-

To be buried high above the
clouds, where the wild mountain
winds blow eternally, is the desire
of John Brisben Walker, former
magazine editor and noted pub
licist.
Walker is having build a mauso.
leu mon the summit of Mt
Morrison, 10000 feet up in the
blue vault. 1t is about 20 miles
from Denver, that Walker estab-
lished the beautiful summer re-
sort, above the town of Morrison.
Walkers desire to be buried in
the tomb, followed out of the
solid rock and overlooking a
precipice, is contained in his will.
The spot chosen Is just the place
one of Walkers temperament
would be expected to select.
Walker, like Robt. Louis Steven,
son and Cecil Rhodes, wants to
sleep on the spot most beloved by
him during life. Rhodes body lies
in a tomb upon South African
mountain, and Stevenson is buried
on one of the Samoan islands.

probably to be traced to the ancient
Egyptian priests. who employed this
art in their religions rites and cere

Greeks and the Romans derived their
knowledge OF music. The ancient de
prews probably took with them INTO

learned In Egypt The hymns used in

and from these hymns was formulated
