The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-06-24

The proposed postal savings bank
law provides that the postmaster
general, the secretary Of the treasury
and attorney general shall constitute a
board of trustees to declare what post
Offices shall become postal savings
banks. The money accumulated in
the postal savings banks is to be de-
posted in both national and state banks
in the vicinity of postoffices in which
the money is deposited by the people,
such banks to pay 3 IA per cent inter-
est and to put up security to the gov
eminent. 1t is generally thought that
there will be a great influx of money
into the channels of trade from savings
now in hiding.

Yet it is a curious fact that more
meaningless talking is done in Washing

Knights of Columbus Entertain.

The local council of the Knight
of Columbus held a social session
Monday evening, which was in
the nature. of a farewell party
for Father HermannS, who this
week left for his new charge near
KinSley. Cards and other games
formed the chief entertainment,
although after a nice lunch had
been served and the older ones
had retired, tn young folks en-
jOyed a little dance. 1t was an
enjoyable affair, married only by
the thought Of it being the last
time the Father would be with the
council as the pastor of the con-
gregatiOn. In addition to the
members of the council and their
ladies, quite a number of others
belonging to the church were pres
ent.
On behalf of the council Faith
er HermannS was presented with
a gold headed cane, suitably en-
graved, and after his speech of
acceptance, when it was thought
it was all over, Miss Kate Keen
an stepped forward, and on be-
half of the ladies of the western
division of the Silver Circle, pre-
sented a beautiful gold headed
umbrella. This took Father Her
MAINS completely off his feet. To
use his own words, he said "YOu
Got Me-" 1t is not often that
he failed in finding words to say
when talking to his people, but
this was one Of the times. How
ever, leaning on the ladies of the
Silver Circle on one side and the
Knights of Columbus on the 9th
er, he thought ne might go on
through the world and encounter
its chill blasts of adversely.
1t has been many years since
the local Catholic congregation
had a pastor who was so general
ly liked as was Father Hermanns.
He was loved, honOred and re-
Spected by every one, and in the
three years Of his pastorate here
accomplished more than has been
accomplished by many in more
time. The cause for his removal
to another congregation is not
known, but, as is the law Of tht
church, when the Bishop says 60,
the priest has to go. The local
people have nothing to say. We
know that had it been left to our
people, the request for his stay

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE is
GIVEN SIMPLE BURIAL
AnqeI of Crimea Rests in Little
Village ChurChyard

LONDON, Aug. 20.-Florence Night
ingale, the "Angel of the Crimea," who
died August 13 at her London home,
was buried today beside her father and
mother in the churchyard of the little
Hampshire village of Fast Willow.
In accordance with her often ex-
pressed wishes for a simple private
funeral the ceremony was of the sim
plest nature, the only feature remind
ing of her great services to the army
and the nation being the presence or
a squad of the grenadier guards, who
acted as bearers. Outside Of these,
only members of the immediate family
and few retainers were present.
Public tribute was paid at me-
mortal service at noon in st. Pauls
cathedral here, at which King George,
Queen Marie, the queen mother, Alex
andra, the war office and admiralty
and the greater part of the British
public bodies and colonies were repre-
sented. The United States ambassador,
Whitelaw Reid, and Mrs. Reid, were
present
The cathedral was crowded with the
official representatives, and thousands
of private persons who had come to
do honor to the dead were unable to
find places inside the church and stood
outside during the ceremony.
Among the flowers sent for the GER
emony were a number of wreaths con-
tributed by American nursing associa-
tions, and many prominent members of
the American colony in London at
tended the services.

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND
LAUDS WORK OF TAFT
Declares President Is One of
AbIeSt and Most Saga
cious Executives

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 20.-With
the statement that President Taft was
one of the ablest and most sagacious
of the executives of the United States
John Hays Hammond made vigorous
defense of the administration TO-DAY at
the annual outing of the Cuyahoga
County League of Republican clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr.. Tafts
support of the Aldrich-Cannon section
of the party on the ground that II ne
had plunged into a Republican civil
war his four years term of office would
have been barren of results and not
one Of his campaign pledges could have
been carried out. Mr.. Hammond said
in part:
'"The people have come to regard
President Taft as a man of indom-
liable courage and infiexible determ1-
nation In the early part OF his ad-
ministration it used to be frequently
asserted that President Taft did NOT
understand the political game. 1t Is
quite true that he does not play good
politics. according to the conception
of hothouse politicians, in that he does
not subordinate questions of national
Importance to those of party eXped'-
ency, or even to those of self-ag-
grandizement, but recent events must
have impressed 1t on the minds OF
all critics InaL the pT0Slu6Hb llt1S
masterful grasp of political affairs
and of political methods.
"It also has been asserted by CRITICS
of the administration that he was be-
ing unduly Influenced and imposed
upon by what was alleged to be the
unholy Cannon-Aldrich alliance.
"He has been criticised severely for
having any intercourse with that fac
tion of the party, but fortunately the
president has wisely preferred not to
assuse self-righteous attitude and
not to decline the cooperation OF
speeches of whatever faction when
such assistance would avail to insure
the enactment of much needed leg1sla-
ton.
"It is far-sighted craftsmanship
for the president to pursue the course
he did pursue. Any other course would
have resulted in four years of futile
Republican administration"
Mr. Hammond asserted that all talk
of a. new patry was absurd, as such
move would die at Its birth for lack
of popular support. He declared that
there was no possibility of any man
save Mr.. Taft receiving the next RE-
publican nomination for president, and
secuted the idea of the Democrats be-
ing in control of congress on account
of what he termed their absolute fall
ure to show the people any definite
program.
