CITY OFFICIAL
CANDIDACY OF The announcement that Felix Diaz, nephew of the
FELIZ DIAZ former president, has ambitions to become the Mexican
chief executive does not come as a surprise to those who have closely watched
the situation in that restless country.
Felix has long had the presidential bee in his bonnet. He has been
for years a commander in the Mexican army and has been a potent factor in
several of the activities that have made history for our sister republic. He
has always played an important part in his country's political history and has
been in the lime light on more than one occasion since his uncle was shorn
of power.
Diaz is very much the kind of a mnjhat his uncle was. He is, above all
things, a military leader. He is a commander of men and probably has be
hind him the support of a large part of the army division. His training has
been along military lines and his prominence has always come- through the
powers of his military foresight.
If the Mexicans, when they have the

The government of that country will thereafter rest in the hands of mili
tary despo'tism, its republican forms will become more of a farce than they
now are, an such measures as are necessary to retain the commander in
power will be taken just as unhesitatingly and unscrupulously as the older
Diaz took them when he was chief executive and was at the height of his
power.
To place that man at the head of the government of Mexico will be but
. to extend the Diaz regime. It will mean that the country will return to that
form of government that the old commander thought his people must have in
order to maintain the national peace. L
Diaz, during his administration of 30 years, maintained general peace and
quiet throughout the country at the prce of military dictatorship. He ele

The Dunce In
Superior In Other Ways
.a.-n . By Professor M. V. O'SHEA, University of Wisconsin " :: r.
EVEKY person in the world differs from every other person in body,
mind and character, but because there are certain dominant traits
common to large groups of people it is usual to separate persons
into classes.
The child who happens to belong to the class of human beings who
find it difficult to get along rapidly in school, memorize slowly and don't
see through things easily is often considered a DUNCE by his parents
and teachers. In reality he may be JUST AS BRIGHT AS OTHER
CHILDREN, only the average school is organized along lines that offer
little chance for his particular kind of ability.
THE DUNCE IN SCHOOL WORK OF THE BOOKISH KIND MAY
BE SUPERIOR IN EVERY FORM OF EXECUTIVE ACTIVITY. THE
BRILLIANT FELLOW IN BOOK WORK MAY BE UTTERLY DEFICIENT
IN PRACTICAL EXECUTIVE ACTIVITIES.
. This last type is much favored in schools. The other type usually
has a hard time, though it is better now than ten or fifteen years ago,
when his kind of ability was not recognized at all. The introduction of
manual arts into the schools and the teaching of subjects in a dynamic
way helps him out.
WE "OUGHT TO DO MORE FOR THIS TYPE OF BOY
THAN WE DO. We ought to conserve his native ability and develop
him to the highest extent. WE OUGHT TO LET HIM GO
THROUGH SCHOOL, even if he cannot do well in grammar or cube
root. Sometimes the other type is urged too far along hia special line
without getting a balance in practical activities.

than a bed under -the canopy of heaven the tramps were escorted to the
limits end ordered never to return with the usual threat of thirty days in the
jail if they were ever found here again.
Such a threat is more than empty for the city gets the worst end of every
such campaign. The tramp, even if he is caught on his second appearance, is
housed in a comfortable jail, given better food than he has ever had before
in his life, and allowed to lounge about at the city's expense for one month.
Such a jail is no very dreadful place for a tramp. It must be more satisryi
:ng and comfortable than a bed in the open and no prospects of anything to
eat for a week.
It places the city in a bad light. It makes, threats that carry no terror, that
haye.no weight , and, worse than that, are not enforced. "What officer in
this city or any other city would recognize a tramp, if he did reappear, as
the one that he had ceremoniously escorted to the corporate llmiw?
The tramps are not given the careful study and inquiry that are devoted
to other forms of criminals. They are thrown into the city jail and left there
until the police can take them outside of the limits and tell them to go on
their war. The municipality that follows such a program merely gives itself
the worst end of the deal and instills no fear into the tramp or -r-nds no warn
ing among his comrades that this is a place to be avoided.
In fact, the tramps, by that system of underground wireless that communi
cates almost instantly between insolated groups of law violators, send out
the word that Oregon City will furnish
hungry "bo" with plenty of good food to eat. No wonder that the police
force has to make frequent trips to the corporate limits with a large number
of the prisoners who are caught during the night hours in some spot where
the officers will be sure to run into them.
The only solution to the problem that faces the chief of police and the city
council in such a case as this is the provision for an adequate rock pile. The
Enterprise is rather in favor of several rock piles for several kinds of dis
eases. It is a magic cure that works wonders in certain emergencies and
that has nearly any patent medicine put into the shade on the number of ef
ficiently testimonials that it could produce.
No better method could be devised as a cure for the tramp in Oregon City
than the knowledge properly disseminated through the underground channels
that hoboes are ALWAYS sentenced to 30 days on a pile of rock. It would
work charms with the problem and would, within a remarkably short time,
clear the city of the pest more readily and quickly than any other plan that
could be worked out. .
Besides the police problems that it would solve, the plan would be of an
economic value to the city. The work of a tramp could be made to produce
city revenue at least to pay for the cost of the experiment. The cost of
the plan would be little and the benefit that would accrue to the city, both
financially and from a police stand point, would be material.
It is necessary to economize in or
der to be liberal.

JUDGING YOURSELF.
No man or woman yet in all the
world's history made a success of a
lifework unless he or she felt that it
was good, that it was worth doiug.
The paiuter cannot lay on his pig
ment properly unless he feels that the
sanvas will stir the world to admira
tion or rouse it to higher feelings. The
sculptor cannot hew-his marble; the
architect cannot draw his plans.
The writer cannot choose his words
and frame his sentences unless he feels
that the thing he Is writing will find
lodgment in his reader's heart and un
derstanding. Here is the testimony of
a successful author. Sir Gilbert Par
ker: "Unless a thing has seized a man.
has obsessed him and be feels that it
excludes all other temptations to his
talent, his book will not convince. Be
fore all else he must be himself over
powered by the insistence of his sub
ject" In all "branches of work the rule
holds good.
In a shabby side street of the big
city there is an old German cobbler.
He is an intelligent man. wise in the
ways of the world, but unlettered
When he puts on n ; heel he takes
pains to round it to the proper shape.
When he mends a sole he brings it as
nearly as possible to its original state.
He buys the best leather he can af
ford. In no department of his work
does he skimp. "I must do the best I
can for my customers." he says. "They
trust me with their shoes. I will do
for them as much as I can."
He has the right spirit. He is seized
by his work.
Suppose your work is not appre
elated?
Well, the best form of approval is
the approbation of self.
If you feel that yotKare doing the
best yon can you are doing all that
any one may demand of you. You will
find your level, never fear. ' .
All honest labor Is worthy.
There is a sonnet In a street cross
ing well swept; there Is a poem in a
meal well cooked: an epic in a house
hold well conducted and orderly. There
are sermons in the doing of a good
day's work and whole volumes in a
life lived fairly and truly In the doing
of an honest share of the world's" nec
essary toil.
Willing to Give His Opinion.
"We shall be delighted." said i
French journalist, interviewing George
Bernard Shaw, "to know your opinion
on the modern French literature and
drama."
"I dare say you would," was the re
ply. "My terms for a comprehensive
answer to this modest question are
1,000.000 francs." V
So far as we know, the French in
terviewer never cared to give such a
sum even in exchange for Mr. Bernard
Shaw's literary opinion. T. P.'s Lon
