iwnrVWC a ' ' MW" 'K f AGE, THE NEW PORTLAND. OJREGON. J TOPICS OF ) TUB TIMES. ) Nikola Tesln hns Invented some more talk nbout nn Invention. Electricity Is now Kcnerntcd by the w'iivch of the pen to llht buoys. This Is n wonderful generation. Tliey have christened the youngest Vnndcrbllt baby Muriel. Wouldn't that have Jarred the old commodore? King Edward will doubtless justify his three-score years. It's said he used to go It like sixty before he was fifty. Humor now lias It that W. Waldorf Astor will remove to Paris. Why does Waldorf not buy n country atid remod el It to suit? If the bicycle Is falling Into. compar ative disuse Instead of being used In pneumatic tires there will he all the more nlr for the airship when It comes. A contemporary nsks whether one bonnet In nine years Indicates Insanity. No, but nine bonnets In one year often does lu the husband who tins to pay for them. They are going to stock the woods of Massachusetts with wild Itclglan hnres. It Is to be hoped that they have made arrangements to enlarge the woods right away. The truth or falsity of tho stories about tho Prince of Wales that have been circulated In the past forty years are now n matter of great Importance to the whole civilized world. Princess Victoria Louise, the only daughter of the Kmperor of Germany, though she limy one day wear a crown, Is being taught the duties of n good Jioiisekeeper, quite as If sho were to marry a plain worklngtunn. It Is enough to shock some American so ciety. The recent Vnnderbllt and Rockefel ler weddings, wherein two great heir esses married countrymen of their own, arc said to have greatly disturb ed certain circles of Europe, and led to the formation of nil organization with headquarters at Paris, whoso aim Is to conduct such a "campaign of edu cation" among American girls of wealth as shall demonstrate to them the Impropriety of K'stowlng their for tunes and themselves upon Americans while titled foreigners nre still abun dantly available. Horace Greeley, speaking of tho biff trees of California, said that somo of tlrtrmUftTS'bccn "serenely growing ever adtu'e Jrsus was on the earth." Kilt on the Ixlaud of Kos, off the coast of Asia Minor, stands an oak twenty-live feet In diameter, which a German scientist believes to be two thousand nine hun dred years old. In that case, It must have been a vigorous sapling In tho days when King Solomon "spake of trees, from tho cednr tree that Is In Lebanon even unto the hyssop thnt sprlngcth out of the wall." Wherever capital punishment exists there Is talk about Its Ineffectiveness as a deterrent from crime and the conse quent propriety of alxillshlng It. Hut In most, If not all, States and countries where no death penalty Is now Indict ed there. Is quite as much talk about tin necessity of reviving It. Tho gen eral tendency of the times, however. Is beyond question against the lnllle tlou of the death penalty. It has often been stated that there would bo less opposition to this tendency If n sen tence of Imprisonment for life did not so often fall to lx carried out If, that is, tho prisoner condemned to perpet ual confinement did not have the hope, umouiittug to n probability, of ultimate pardon. Kidnaping Is a crime so viciously un reasonable mid so much resembling murder In Its effects upon the friends of the victim and so likely In many In htnui'cH to result In that crime that legislative bills providing for the death penalty In case of conviction tltul very general approval, Certainly as between tho death penalty and a term of Im prisonment shorter than that provided for second degree murder, the general fcciillmcut would approve the former. Out of the legislative discussion of the Mihjcct, which litis Ihhmi so quickened by recent events, some satisfactory conclusion as to tho punishment for the crime should Iw reached, and It tdiould 1k severe enough to make the offenso a terror to tho would-be perpe trator. Iu the time of Claudius, King of Den mark, there may have been a divinity hedging kings, though the suddenness with which Claudius himself shuttled on' this mortal coll Indicates that the divinity didn't hedge him to tiny great oxteut, Hut In (ho present age it is quite evident that though princes con tinue to maintain the assumption of di vine right which necessarily Implies divine protection they nre particularly careful to supplement that protection with carnal and temporal measures against anarchists, nihilists and other forcible critics of royalty. The elabo rate police precautious taken to pre vent the blowing up of half the royal til's of Europo at Victoria's funeral show very clearly that the royalties themselves use the divine right Idea for publication only. For practical purposes they prefer to have n squad of detectives close at hand and troops within easy hall. James J, Hill, the railroad magnate, Is ouo of tho remarkable tmui of his times, and It Is well to understand some of the reasons for his success. What Is the secret of Mr. Hill's suc cess? was asked the other day of a number of New York blinkers by n Herald interviewer. "Common hones ty, I should say," replied one man. "Ills stockholders know and believe In him. They know that they will get as much out of the property as lie gets. Everything goes to the stockholders of the Great Northern road. It owns Its own telegrnph lines, Its own ex press company, Its own sleeping and parlor car service, Its own dining car service, Its own steamship line; ev erything that contributes to Its earn ings Is owned by the company. There Is no milking ilong the way." "Atten tion to detail, I believe, Is the dominant quality In .Mr. Hill," replied another banking friend to the same question. ".Singleness of purpose and n complete mnstery of detail of everything con nected with his property. Why," ho continued, "he knows the number of ties on every bridge along the line from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Seat tle and Vancouver. And there Is not n llgure relative to the cost of anything thnt he cannot give you otT-hnnd." In thcHc days when David Hitrum's the orem of the Golden Hule Is taken by so many people as the key to "shrewd business methods" It Is plonstug to note that the men who hnve achieved nota ble success have believed that honesty Is the best policy. The attention of the young men of the time Is called to the fact that char acter Is cash capital, and that It pansco at times and places for tho financial benellt of the owner when money would le of little nvnll. This is not taking Into consideration the better part of tho proposition that good char acter alone Is sulliclcnt to promote ier- sonal satisfaction and secure for tho owner a degree of happiness and pleas ure. There was a time when the boy. was supiosed to "sow his wild oats."' If ho plants such a crop at this time those who deal with him now nnd whoj will deal with hi in In the future will demand a proof that the seed of tho wild oats has been extirpated. The! young man who Is engaging lu busi ness nt this time finds that the posscai slon of wealth Is not the principal thing. He must hnve character and being In possession of that n mensura ble amount of wealth may come to him. Reputation Is everything. It' may bo well for the people to talk of, tho tlmo when honesty and sobriety wero In better esteem than now, but) thero never was a time In'hlstory when these qualities were so nearly compul sory. There never was n time whecj more attention was paid to self-control! for the good of the Individual and for tho effect on society. If the young men could only know, of the volume of business transacted annually on the, word of tho Interested parties they would knowtho meaning of honor. If they could also know that tho loss in this class of transactions Is less than I In the class where tho signatures are tieiiiiiiiticii ami uaius are recunieu iney would appreciate the qualifications that must be obtained by tho one who would succeed. If they know of tho niimlier of men who refuse to transact business with those they cannot Implic itly trust, aside from nil financial guar antees they would hnve somo Idea of the circles that will 1h barred to them lu case their reputations should be al lowed to suffer. Employers of labor aro demanding that their men shall have good habits. In this tlmo of com petition they cannot afford to have their trade suffer through the short comings of those Into whose hands It Is given. Employes nre coming to de mand thnt the men alongside them at their work Iks upright, sober nnd ab stemious, for they will not bear tho blame of failures for which others are responsible and that may be charged to their account. In short the men who do not cause their families to suffer through their own habits will not al low that their families should suffer through the habits of others, and tho lines are being drawn closer all tho time. The young man has tho chance to succeed lu business If he hns the ability mid the right kind of charac ter. He has the assurance of failure If he has the capital and lacks lu char acter. The jMissesslon of money will not add to the credibility of any man, for employers know that there Is great chance of loss by the employment of those who lack the Intention to deal fairly with them. Integrity, care for reputation, ability nnd the desire to lead the proju'r sort of life are the things that will win In the future. UNLUCKY MEN ARE ALL ALIKE. Go Oropln unit llreamlnic Through 1,11c hut Never Kind Bncceaa. "Tho unlucky men nil nro kin; they nil linvo certain qunlltlen alike," says "Au American Mother" In tho Ladlca' Homo Journal. 'They hnve eyes keen to look Into the root of things, but which nlao (1 renin dreams anil ets' vUlona; they hnve hot jiumnn blood, they love or hate In no half-way uienHure. To each of them, too, cornea ut times no nmtter what the business or pursuit may bo by which they strive to push their way a mom; men nntl to grow rich n sudden disgust of It, heartfelt ami real, n contempt for the work ami for Its successes. They dream of some thliiK lioforv them better than money or otllce, ntul they try to clutch at It. 8o they ro through life, groping for success with ono hand ntul for their dream with tho other, nnd they lose both. We must vhooso either Clod or Mammon ns master ntul keep faith with him If we mean to succeed." It la told of a miser that he eats his meals lu front of a mirror because It doubles tho illshcs.
