One of the chnp ters of Chuzzlewlt has a quotation from a traveler of literary note who referred to Columbia as "Rank without ripeness, quickened without ain, crude at the surface, rotten at the core." Dickens missed It as a critic when ho took that writer for a prophet REAL ESTATE WHERE DOES THE WEST BEGINt . At the outset of the Journey by pedal train of the governor of North western states to make their section better known in the EaRtern and Cen tral states tho Important question Is raised as to the dividing line. A statesman noted for never fully com mitting himself was once asked, to test his caution, If the sun rises In the east He replied the east and west are relative terms. In a certain sense this view Is correct, and by no means a recent discovery. Alexander Pope wrote over a century and a half ago: 'Ask where's the North? At York 'tis on the Tweed; in Scotland at the Orcades; and there, at Green land, Zimbla, or the Lord knows where." Thomas II. Denton reached the level of prophetic and majestic potry when, pointing across the nlalns and the Pacifle, he suggested that there Is the East and India. The governors are unable to agree as to where the East begins, and severally Dlace it all the way from Pittsburgh to Denver. One proposes the line of the Mississippi River, another that of the Missouri. Oregon's governor would rive It a monumental marker at Pike's Peak. A new era has arrived and course of empire Is some rtpHpoted. or rather wid- out, from its historic direc St Louis can now point to the booming Southwest with Us two new stateB and Mexico, and Southeast to the prosperous old South, Cuba, Cen tral America, the Panama Canal and South America. The West can no long er be found by wild and woolly condi tions. A California town may be run by electricity generated in the Sierra Nevada, talk with New York by long distance telephone, with Nome and Manila by wireless, and witness the march of women to be registered for full suffrage.' Messrs. John Blgelow and Andrew Carnegie celebrated their Joint birth day, although there Is a difference of eighteen, years in their ages, Mr. Blgelow being 94 and Mr. Carnegie 76. Both are still In active, vigorous life, resisting all the anaesthetic and narcotic Influence of Dr. Osier's famous chloroform bottle. Mr. Bryan says he has made his position on another nomination clear to Intelligent people. As he has not said he would decline if nominated, both the Intelligent and unintelligent are in some doubt on the subject Mayor Gaynor, of New York, de clares that women do not want to vote. Registration in California cities Indicates that the women of that state will show the men a good example by always going to the polls. the what ened tlon. DICKENS AND AMERICA. , Disraeli put an old idea Into few words when he said: "You know who the critics are? the men who have "failed in literature and art" Charles Dickens was one of the world's most successful men in literature and, at the close of his days, more In demand on the lecture platform than any other man In history. He tan not be dis missed curtly as a critic who had missed the mark In a creative field, says the St Louis Glob-Democrat. What he wrote about the United States after a few months of obser vation has been disproved in some respects, but there waa enough of wholesome truth in his presentment to call for an acknowledgment sixty years later. He was scornful on the subject of negro slavery combined with boastful claims of devotion to liberty. Slavery is gone, though the cost of ending it was frightful. Some of the critical points of Dickens were well taken. Martin Chuzzlewit's first day in a boarding house in New York was Oiled with amazement on the sub ject of spittoons, and the desperate rapidity with which a meal was dis patched. "Great heaps of Indigesti ble matter melted away as ice before the sun. It was a solemn and awful thing to see." To some extent it is still visible. Sensational newspapers of the key hole variety were another prominent theme of the novelist It can not be said that they are entirely extinct Spread-eagle conversation and oratory were exaggerated, and are not much In evidence today. As for land sharks In the latest advance of the Italian Army at Tripoli the guns of the fleet again took part But the fact must be considered that Uncle Sam's naval marksmen hit the target at seven miles. Secretary or the Navy Meyer re ports that experimental aeroplane flights from shipboard have been "fairly satisfactory." That is more than can be said for the tragic land operations of 1911. A tribe of Eskimos has been dis covered who never before saw a white man. The Caucasian continues to hunt around at the risk of increasing his burden. Canada sincerely regrets Its recent action In regard to reciprocity. There is no danger that the United States will give its Northern neighbor any further occasion for regret By assessed value as equalized 1111' nois is a two-billion dollar state, but If a syndicate could buy Illinois it would be marked up to at least ten billions, and dividends paid.

J ml go Dim Irk thought a plan agreed upon by the County Court, which Judge Iloatle had explained, that tho men chosen for supervisors at the district taxpayers' meetings, be appointed by the County Court The supervisor aro appoint ed al the January term of court, and Judge Iloatle said the court often re ceived petitions, having many of the same signatures for the appointment of different men. George C. Hrownell paid the mem bers of the County Court a high tri bute and declared they had done bet ter .work on the roads than any of their predecessor!. Ho urged the hulldlng of the main thoroughfare first, and discouraged the making of so-called temporary highways. He called attention to the roads In Eu rope, which have lasted for centur ies. Mr. Cross Introduced the resolu Hon providing that the supervisors meet once a year, which wai umml mously adopted. Randall Deplores Waste. George Randall said there had been much waste and urged that the u pcrvlsor compel the men under them to earn their money. E. B Carter, Clackamas co.inty representa tlve in the lower branch of the legls- lature, advocated the building of th main lines first. He said a civil en glneer should be apHlnted to super vise the work. E. P. Todd, of Pleas ant Hill, denounced Joy Riders, and said If they wanted roads they should build them. He said the money rnls ed In each district by taxation should be spent In the district. William Probst, of Wllsonvllle, argued along the same line. Mr. Todd declared that the present County Court was the best that had ever been elected He also praised Frank Jaggar, road supervisor.

There Is evidence to sub stantiate the charge that this money was knowingly voted for the purpose f paying It to James B. McNamara and Ortie McManigal and that It was used by them in their dynamiting operations." That was the statement of Detec tive William J. Burns, who arrived here last night from Akron. That he was going after "the men higher up" and criticism of President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, were other points emphasized by Burns. mara for the rest of his natural life, ii n d his eld.-r brother, John J. Mc Numaru, for fifteen years. They were sentenced by Judge llordwell Just as If everything had been cut and dried for mouths. The sentencing passed off quietly. The courtroom was deathlike In Its stillness. All the bravado, swagger and con fidence was gone from their manner and James II. McNamara especially was In a very bad way. He shook and trembled when ho first stood up to hear his doom, but later partlully regained his composure. After asking him whether he had not at first tried to get dynamite of a higher explosive character than SO per cent and receiving a negative answer, llordwell then said: "There Is no comfort In the asser tion tht you did not Intend to take life. The widows, orphans and the parents of the Times' victims would look upon that statement at this time as a mockery. "Tti.i circumstances are ngulnst you In making any such clulm.

It Is no extenuating cir cumstances to this court to hear you say thut you didn't Intend to kill anyone. There Is no question In the mind of the court that you are a murderer and as such should be pun ished. "James B.
