Ninety-First Birthday Anniversary
On yesterday Father Edwin Davis
completed his ninety-Brst year. It is
quite common for us to see octogena
rians, a number of whom now reside
in Cass county, but to see a man who
has so nearly rounded out a century of
life, with faculties so well preserved,
with memory of events of the long
ago so acute and so nearly perfect, is
quite uncommon. Beside our venera
ble friend stands she, but a few years
his junior, yet in possession of her
mental faculties and in the enjoyment
of fair physical health, who seventy
years ago plighted her love and life to
Edwin Davis as his wife
Grandpa Davis was born January 23,
1811. in Albany county, New York,
and was united in marriage June 18.
1832, at Waterfleet, New York, to Miss
Ann M. Richardson. To this union
were born Joshua and Jerome, who
fell in the war of the rebellion while
fighting under the stars and stripes,
Jerome falling in the historic battle
of Kenesaw mountain. The only 11
ing son is Loran, who resides at Colo
rado City. The daughters are Mrs.
Eusebia Colvin, residing at Arapahoe
Mrs. Rebecca Kennedy, living here
Mrs. Rosetta Keeney, of Central City
md Mrs. Laura Petersen, who Jive.-

At the outbreak of hostilities be
tween the north and south Grandpa
Lmvis volunteered his services on be
ialf of the union, although then fifty
years old. He served during the wai,
lid participated in the historic and
bloody battle of Shiloh. serving in
company K, fifteenth Iowa volunteers.
He was called from a sick bed, and leo

Grandpa Davis, although engaged
in many severe and bloody engage
ments, never failing in the perform
ance of duty io the flag, escaped w ith
ut receiving any lasting injuries, al
though serving three years and nirn
months.
Few at the present day have the
ionor which fell to Grandpa Davis
Alien only thirteen years old. When

the heroism of revolutionary timeF,
uo one arouses greater interest thai
he French patriot, General LaFayette
who came from his own beautifu
France to succor a people whom he

their wrongs." Fifty years after the
zreat successful struggle for liberti
es ended General LaFayette, in 1824,
ame to visit the land he had helped
to make free. At Concord, N. H.
Grandpa Davis saw and shook bands
with the great French patriot, and
the then boy of thirteen years, now
the venerable man of ninety-one, still
recalls the incidents of that meeting.
The Journal, with the friends of
Grandpa Davis, and they are universal,
extends the heartiest congratulations
on this auspicious occasion, and also
to Mrs. Davis trusting that both may

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regtlar Coi respondent)
Washington, Ja mary 20, 1902 "W
are engaged in the unholv oflice of
crushing a republ .c," were the word
with which the ve ierable senator from
Massachusetts t tartled his com
piacentiy seir-sat.&Sed colleagues on
the floor of the senate. They were
followed by a sc -re arraignment of
the course of the administration in the
Philippine islands. Among other
things, Senator Hoar said that he had
ueard of the inve.tigation of a proceed
ing which if true "has covered with a
foul blot the flag which we all love and
nonor." He urged upon his
colleagues the advisaUlty of appoint
ing an Investigating committee to
which senators and people could appeal
for verification of some of the fright
ful stories which were being brought
b:tck from the islands by soldiers and
civilians. The sei:ator sought to
relieve from the responsibility of a
course which might bring odium upon
the administration, his colleague,
Senator Lodge, but the latter, ap
parently fearful of entrusting so im
portanta matter to a committee not
as tnrougniy in ioucu wiin me
executive branch of the government
as is his own, protested so vigorously
that Senator Hoar finally yielded and
the resolution was referred to tin
Philippines committee.
Speaking on the suoj'-ct, Senato
Lodge said that be did not imagiru
that anv report on the resolution.
which calls for an investigation of tin
warin the Philippines, would be made
although he adnitted that "for th
general information of his committee'
Governor Taft might be asked t
tppear before it and explain th
needsof the islands. Whether Senato
Lodge was perfectly frank in th
matter is not known, out anothe.
member of the Philippine committer
assured me that the public had not
heard the last of Senator Iloar'i
resolution and that it was likely t
precipitate a bitter fight in the senat
later on. lie aio intimated mat i
might be necessary to send a sut
committee tothePhilii p;nesaS90ona
congress adjourned in order that tb
committee might know for itself tin
real status of affairs Senator Cat
mack of Tennessee said, after tb
senate adjourned, that the democrat
had intended to introduce aresolutioi
similar to that introduced by Senatoi
Hoar, that be was fearful that tbt
Philippines committee would fail t
report on the resolution, but that tb
democrats would bring the matter uj
on the floor of the senate and that t
state of affairs most embarassing U
the administration was likely U
develop. There are a number of con
gressmen who have been to the Philip
pines and while they have held tbeii
fire for an opportunity, it is bound t
blaze sooner or later. Some of th
democrats believe that the basis of th
next campaign will be laid in thi
senate when this matter comes up fo
discussion.
Senator Lodge will report bl-
Philippine tariff bill and Senatoi
Culberson will make a vigorous attacl
on its provisions. He will receive th
support of practically the entire demo
cratic side as well as of Senato
Mitchell of Oregon who told me thai
he favored free trade with the Philip
pines because of the commercial ad
vantages which would result to the
entire Pacific cost. An effort will alsi
be made to attach to the Philippint
bill a provision for reciprocal relation
with Cuba. Senator Mason is doing
yeoman's work for the latter caus
and delivered a speech on the general
subject of reciprocity concluding with
the words, "nothing can excuse ut-
from honorable and fair trade with
Cuba. We paid a mighty price in
blood and treasure for the change
(in Cuba) and the American con
science w ill demand that our relation.-
with Cuba must close upon the same
lofty plane upon which they began.''
The isthmian canal has made littlt
progress during the past week. Senator
Morgan has examined and cross-
examined M. La in pre and told me that
he was "through with him." The
venerable senator from Alabama ha.-
not changed his preference for the
Nicarauguan route, but be failed tt.
demonstrate that there was any con
nection between the trans-continental
railroads and the Panama company,
and the Ianama route has made man3
friends. While comparatively few ol
the senators have satisfied themselves
that the latter is the best route,
enough have decided that it demand
further consideration to pervent the
committee's reporting, although Sen
ator Morgan said yesterday that he
was ready to do so. Even if tht
senator succeeds in converting his
committee to his views the matter
will be extensively discussed on the
floor of the senate and I have beard
rumors of a congressional committee
being sent to the isthmus to investi
gate for themselves as soon as the
session is over.
The first gun In the fight for tariff
revision was fired on the 14th when
Representative Babcock Introduced
his bill for the reduction of the
Dingley tariff on iron and steel. The
bill is very carefully drawn and is
calculated to meet the objections of
ail rational protectionists. Only the
extremists can seriously object to it
and it may prove to be the entering
wedge that will split the majority in
th hnnsf Thprp. to snmit tntlr nf
another bill which will remove the
duty on Dutch . flowering blubs and
which, if it materializes will result In
the introduction of a bill providing
for such reduction by Representative
Tawney of Minnesota. I mentioned
this matter once before, but at that
time it was believed that the object
of the Minnesota members could be
attained under tne recip rocity clausa

of the Dingley bill. That still may be
the case, but there are some members
of the Minnesota delegation who are
pposed to w hat they call "legislation
by the executive branch of the govern
ment," and they favor a straight bill
similar to that introduced bv Mr.
Babcock.
The resignation of Richard Croker
iiom the leadership of Tammany Hall
ind his succession by Mr. 2slxon has
occasioned much speculation among
tue democrats in congress as have also
the rumors that are being received to
the effect that David B. Hill is seek-
ng the party leadership. Senator
tames K. Jones has expressed himself
x& very favorably impressed with Mr.
Nixon and as believing that be would
uake a strong and capable leader.
f be election of Senator Gorman is also
matter of great Interest and there
ire many who regard him as the
ogical candidate for the presidency.
A member of the house said yesterday,
Senator Gorman will become the
eader of the democratic forces in the
senate and will make a record in that
capacity which will earn for him the
unqualified support of his party
throught the country. If he lives and
preserves his health he will be our
next president."

ELOCUTION HELPS THE VOICE.

Jen the elocutionary fid.- as It Is
contemptuously called. But those who
have observed the effect of Indulgence
In this so-called mania bare none but
words of praise for It. The most no
ticeable defect la &a otherwise excel
lent dramatic performance recently
given in this city by a set of college
glr's was in the matter of voices. Of
the large cast there was Just one young
woman who possessed a voice of any
tv.ng like requisite quality. Hers was
both rich and carrying and It was aa
u.ed pleasure to listen to her lines as
she spoke them from tho contrast with
the others. Thin, throaty tone. or.
worse, those with a distinct nasal In
tonation, are bad enough to the sen
sitive ear when used in the key of
ordinary conversation. When It is
needed to expand such voices ta the
declamatory point, then lack of vol
ume, displacement and xneilawne&s eta
painfully evident. Faithful praetire

three or even six weeks' rehearsals.
The possibilities of the speaking vole '

plan to cultivate in their daughters
and their sons too. for that matter, an
agreeable voice for the speech of life.
Instructors in the art of developing
the exquisite mechanism and wonder

springing up on every side. It cannot
be long before it will be a positive re
proach for a woman of education at
