OLNEy CHOSEN
DESPITE BRYAN
Post of Ambassador to Great
Britain Offered to Him Over
SeCretary'S Head.

WASHINGTON, March TIT is
learned definitely that the delay in
sending the name of Richard Olney to
the senate as ambassador to the court
Of St James is caused by the failure
of that distinguished court to reply to
inquiries as to whether Mr.. Olney will
be acceptable If a favorable report is
received Mr.. Olneys name win 90 in
over the head of Secretary of state
Bryan. and there is little doubt of his
confirmation
1t IS notable that Mr. Oney, a gold
Democrat, and twice bitterly opposed
10 Mr.. Bryan as a presidential candi-
date mas been chosen by Mr., Wilson in
defiance Of his announcement that all
diplomatic appointments would be left
TO the secretary Of state.
Mr.. Bryan has refused to admit that
Mr. Olney had been chosen for the post,
twice making what amounted TO abso-
lutte denials.
Bryan Hates Olney.
The president has said nothing for
publication about the matter, but those
III MS COulHtl SSN htitlA il' ll'Nh lPAAt7 th7
made up his mind that Nh Oncy was
the right man for the place and that it
made no difference to him what Mr.
Bryan thought about il.
Mr. Bryan hates Mr. Olncy for the
very good and sufficient reason that
during the campaign of 1900 Mr. Olney
said:
Il need hardly say that Mr.. Bryan is
not the candidate / should choose could
] have my way in the matter, and that
] entirely dissent from parts Of the
Kansas City platform.
Perfection in a candidate or plat
form is an idle dream, and inirmities
in it's creeGs and defects in its leader
ship win always characterize every
party
The Campaign of 1908.
During the campaign Mr. Olney said: |
"Bryans views may be wrong, but !
they are not new. 1t is not unthinll- |
able that Mr. Bryans habits, training |
and career have not qualified him to
estimate wisely the true place and vital !
importance of the injunction power as
vested in English and American courts"

Who Stole The HEM

The great American hen, with set
tin proclivities, is in some demand
around Blackfoot. There seems to be
wrong with the average
hen, she shows a perverseness about
matronly cares that is putting a de-
cided crimp in the increase Of the pop
ulation of the hennery. When one
is known to have forgotten her suf-
fragette duties to the extent that she
'sets' one might just as we'll lock
her up in the safety department of a
bank, or at least that is what Roy
Ramey, the express man thinks He
had a perfectly good, kindly DISPOSE
toned fowl with all the instincts Of
a mother, reclining gracefully on SET
ting of pure bred eggs. Sunday night
someone hitched their digital mem
bers to Mrs. Hen and conveyed her tt
parts unknown to the complaining wit
ness. Mr.. Ramey says that petit
larceny thief that will stoop so low
as to steal a setting hen and no
take the eggs along should be prose
cuted. .tl1 i
