THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON I i the Times Grandfather Kaiser Wllholm better cut off those mustaches. Society would bo snfer were the Pittsburg inllllonnlrcs to wear muzzles. Tlint .Tnpnneso murderer who npolo Btzed on tlio Kullows was certainly a poll to in nn. One penalty" of being rich Is to fenr somebody will steal our bodies after Wo aro dead. Moralists acrce that a bad man may bo reformed, but It Is different In tlio caso of a bad egg. As to school children who swap chewing gum, It Is a wasto of thno to try hygienic arguments on them. The bank examiner Is a good deal llko a stroke of lightning. Tbo worst has alroady happened when wo hour the rejwrL Tho fellow who sent a flftocn-pound turtle through tlio mall may hnvo had a creeping suspicion that tho clerks always welcomed a siiap. As for tho people at largo, they balk I tho Idea tliat tlio orthography of tho language has swelled In tho cans nd ought to bo condemned. Mr. Hockofcller Is boasting that ho boat his doctor at golf. Ho should ro member that It's a pretty dangerous thing to gloat over a doctor. If Clerk Samuol Hyerly can with a 2-cent stamp turn $5,800,000 worth of Government bonds, ho might Iwrrow flOO or so and buy tho Stool Trust. In view of tho high cost of living tho funeral directors 'cannot see their way clearly toward making any reduc tion In tho expciiHo utteudaut upon dying. Tho Norsemen address Haakon ns ".Mr. King." This may bo a trltlo Ir regular, but It Is n great deal moro pollto than some of tho pet names tho ltusslaus aro bestowing on Nicholas. Naturally, tho President hopes that tho country will not becomo ho Inter ested In tho discission of tho fact that Iio Is In favor of spelling reform ns to forget that ho Is opposed to raco suicide. Over In Canada tho icoplo regard phonetic spelling as nn ovldcnco of Ig norance and bad breeding. Tills, wo may bo suro, Is duo to tho fact that tho phonetic spelling movement was not started In Knglaml Ilolvn Lockwood says It Is Just ns necoitsury for women to study tho law us. to learn to cook. A good many other womon seem to tako tho samo view of tho en ho, and they aro not studying law either. Over In Ilussla tlio revolutionists re gard It as a great triumph for their nldo when they succeed In looting n bank of $.',0,000 or 1100,000. What s wild hurrah they would not up If tiny bad n Bteuslnnd or a Hippie to operate for them. Industry waits closely upon legisla tion. Already Western farmors aro considering the planting of crops from which they can manufacture alcohol, to bo denatured and used as sourco of power. There Is a great deslro for soiuo cheap hihI effective substitute for KHHolluo, tho supply of which Is limited and tho prlco of which has steadily ad vanced for several years. Prof. Itay Lnnkcstur, In his opening nddrcHi before tho Ilrltlsh Association, pointed out what has been many times remarked, that In no country Is so much Hid given by laymen to sclcntltlc Investigation as In America. Tho habit of giving telescopes, laboratories ami research funds has becomo common wining rich men, and wo rutlier tako tholr gifts for granted. It has been humorously said that tho will of n Massachusetts man which dot not pro vide n gift for n hospital, an art mu seum, a university or an Instltuto for tho Investigation of human pedigree Is In poor form, and reflect on tho social standing of tho testator's faintly. That neat and lovublu llttlo coin, tho dime, has had a most useful history. As far us wo an) aware It is unluuu among tho world's coins, having no nearer equivalent than tho Kugllsh slxiHince, which Is worth li cents moro. It Is one of tho handiest of coins, bo lug about us small us n silver piece can conveniently bo, Doing less In size mid weight than tho nickel, which Is worth only half as much, It Is vastly moro convenient to keep and hoard, and that Is one reason why It Is be coming extraordinarily scarce in spite of tho fact that more dime are now turned out of the mints than evor bo fore In tho country's history, There Is n rogo for "dime banks," aud soiuo of these mechanical contrivances are so pretty, so Ingenious nnd so alluring that they force people to save dimes, who have no earthly occasion to do so. Tho Philippines government has en Joyed ii revenuo of from ?00,000 to $70,. 000 from the Imposition of tonnage uud navigation dues uion ships from out liV) ports, ltut ou Aug. 31 tuo govern ing commission passed an act for tho abolition of tho dues. It gives up a tax of which there has been some com plaint, and Manila gets the advantage of being a free port In tho same con nection reference Is mado to her Im proved harbor facilities. Tho Improve ments will cost, when completed, sev eral million dollars, and Include the dredging to a depth of thirty feet over an area of 400 acres, the reclamation of wasto land, nnd nn eighteen-foot chan nel entranco to tho I'nslg Itlvcr. The statement concerning tho abolition of dues which wns sent out by tho bureau of Insular affairs makes a comparison which bIiowh that while Manila Is now a free port there Is not such n port In any other oriental country. Hongkong, commonly called a free port, Imposes n tax, designated light dues, of 1 cent Mexican per ton. This Is tho nmallcJt charge, and there are variation for different porta ranging as high as 2!) cents. In tho Philippines tho duty has been 0 cents per ton, or 80 cents per ton per annum. Manifestly under such a system short sailing vessels which mado many entries, llko those from tho Asiatic coast, had an advan tage over thoso which made long dis tances nnd paid full rnttw. American ships, therefore, should bo among those that recelvo distinct benoflt from the chnngo. Two English delegates who cruno over to a great convention held In Milwaukee were "thunderstruck" ut tho "rciukrkn bio democracy of America," as dlftplay ed when aH one man tho other delegates removed tholr coats, vests, collars and cuffs nnd propnred to bo as comfortable an posslblo In u hot convention hall. It was now to them, but Is not now to us. Men In America aro quite apt to make themselves- comfortnblo when by thorn solvoi, though sometimes tho conven tionalities aro rudely disturbed. ltut why shouldn't men bo comfortnblo? It'i a mighty absurd custom which crmlti women to wonr tho thinnest sort of clothes, while men nro compelled to awelter In many thicknesses of cloth, woolen, cotton nnd linen nt once. The lining of n man's coat sleeve la thicker than nil n woman wears upon her iirma In summer. Add a thick layer of wool en cloth nnd frequently n sleevo of an undershirt, and see what n difference there Is. Men's shirts nro cool enough In thomselves, but look nt tho collars, tho tie nnd the cuffs which encumber them. Almost every man wears thick padding In tho shouldors and several thicknesses of "wadding," haircloth nnd various other things In tho front of his coat. It Is well enough to talk about "delightful democracy," but for soma reason this samo "dciigucrui ucmoc racy" has not yet dared to dofy estab lished conventionalities by permitting men tho samo freedom In dress and comfort that It allows tho women. Hid leulo aud criticism always nwalt thu man who trie to bo comfortnblo In pub lic, aud tho ones who crltlclso most nro thoso who most need reform. It's a jm cullar thing that men stand thus In the way of tholr own needs nnd desires. If they wanted to, they could by a concert ed offort overturn nil tho old Ideas nnd establish a codo jvormlttlng rntlonal dress; but, bless your soul, they will contlnuo to stick to thick, stiff linen bands nbout their necks, hoavlly padded coats, plug hats and nil tho other un comfortable things, tlmo without end, bocnuso they would much rather bo un comfortable than ridiculous. That Is to say, they will do this In public Hut when they get out of sight they will "pool off" quickly and any hard things nbout the custom which makes them cowards.
