Newspaper Page TextTELE .E"W AGKE, PORTLAJm OREGON. TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. A innn nto n bowl of ycnst to win n lift, mid Ih reported to bo nil puffed up over Ills Hiicct'Hs. A fnrm Ihih been dlHcovered In To.tiih on which there Ih ho oil. A Btock com jinny linH been formed to promote It. An oHtrleli tried to eat a collar button and died. The ont Ih about the only thing now remaining for the 'collar button to overthrow. J. I'lerpont Mowm called on King Edward recently, tluiH permlttliiB tho latter to nee what a man who can run things without wearing t'ossola looks like. A Chicago woman allegeH hIio can't live with her hUHband becatiHo ho Ihih a wooden leg. If all that'H mild by wIvuh Is true Homoof them are married to men with wooden headn. VIcIouh tendeuclcH In children, If un checked, develop alarmingly, and the career that begins .In mere loaferlHin and the bullying and plaguing of neigh bor Ih liable to end In prlnoii. Corporal puulHhmcnt may no longer bu mlinlnls tered In tho InHtltutloiiH of the State, but the law dopn not reach Into tho home, and a good npanklng Jut nt tho right time and place may Have a shoot lug later. Tho real wealth of tuitions Ih not to lie computed by HtatlHtlclaiiH, who can do no more than make rowH of HgurcH representing what they Judge to bo tho value of Hh material pohhchhIoiih and rcHoureoH and foot up tho Items to a grand total. The character and capa city of a nation rather than ItH HtorcH of wealth, whether lu ono form or another, make and keep It great. The editor of the London HtatlHt a few dayH ago ob served that the natural resourccH of tho Tnlted HtateH do not wholly account for Kh prexent keen Industrial rivalry with European uatlouH. lie keenly re markH that the red men had the mime country mid the same. resources, though they never HcrloiiHly competed for tho trade and commerce of Kurope. It mny or may not be truo that King Huiubert'H iihhiihhIii, IireHcl, wuh tur lured by IiIh guardH. 1'robably he wuh not dealt with very gently. Itut no amount of more physical HUffurlug which IiIh kcepern could huvo Intllcted without running tho rink of kill ing him could have been worse than that inn do iioccHHiiry by tho very nature of IiIh Hentence. Ho was In military coiitlnomeiir, with nothing to do and Just Hiilllclcnt food and oxer cIho to make It Impossible for him to tdeken and die. Tho human mind can not get along without occupation and remain sane. To bo placed lu a hiuiiII chamber with only Mono walls to look nt would soon shutter tho strongest nerves. To be contlucd thus with tho certainty that the confinement Is for llfu probably would lesult In partial or total derangement for almost any per Hon living. Italy considers tho death penalty too severe a measure for any crime, but it may well bo doubted If tho few minutes of terror before guillo tine, or scaffold is not a less fearful punishment than tho slow process which drove Ilresel to madness and then to suicide. Tho refusal of the Secretary of War to remit the penalties Imposed by court martial on the rowdy West l'olnt ca dets will do much to enforce tho whole some reign of discipline and good order In that institution. Ills course Ih ap proved by tho President. I'nlted States Senators of the highest lutlueucti Inter ceded unsuccessfully lu behalf of the cashiered cadets. The offenders must take their medicine, some lu expulsion, dome in suspension for different periods uiid others lu loss of rank. The penal ties appear to have been equitably dis tributed according to the demands of Justice lu each case. If the egregious violations of discipline tit the military academy had been condoned the stu dents there at school to learn the duties of a soldier the llrst duty being obedi ence would have boon corrupted by a taint which would have been virulent throughout their future carwrs. il'hey never would have unlearned the bad lesson. The education of students at West l'olnt Is to lit them for the future duties of commanding otllcers lu the armyi If they do not learn tlrst to obey they never will learn to command. The outbreak at the school was nothing less than mutiny. The mutineers were Just ly punished. It Is reasonable to suppose that tho tliht successful attempt to travel by automobile from New York to Chicago will cause otlitr automoblllsth to make similar experiments until the perform ance will cease to be regarded as un usual. Tho Chicago gentleman who, with his wife ami a machinist, enjoys the honor of establishing the record, Micceeded In covering the distance In less than eleven days, while the tltuo tfctually consumed lu traveling was only about uluetyelght hours. In oth er words, the automobile, If It had pro ceeded continuously, would have cov cred tho distance fioin New York lu only a little moie than four days, Tho Miccess of this experiment may be tak en both as a sign that the American roadways are probably Improving and us another Inducement for continuing the good-roads movement. If the Jour ney can bo iiuulo now In approximately ten days, allowing for stoppages, break downs aud delays duo to Imporfoct rondB, the tlmo schedule Bhould bo re duced much further, when tne roads have been brought to the standard of perfection of European roads. With cheat) and rapid automobiles, good ronds and well-appointed Inns lining tho route, what would a few hundred iiiIIch mnttcr to the traveler bent on see ing tho country? Sarah Hornlmrdt, wIioro Ignorance of family life in America Is as great us her artistic fame, lias undertaken to give her fellow countrymen her Ideas of fe male education on this side of the At lantic. She begins by tunkliig the grat ifying admission that tho American woman leads a very different life from her French stater. It will be news throughout the millions of homes on thin continent to learn from our recent visitor that "In Ainerlcn home scarcely exists. People live In hotels or employ housekeepers" This Is ho many leagues from the truth that It merely provokes a smile, but what do our readers of the gentler hcx say to Sarah's asser tion that the American woman "mar ries as late as possible," and that while In Europe the girls make haste "to escape from tho family hearth and get married," In America the girls uro "in no hurry to cuter the bonds of matri mony, because to them marrlngo brings an obligation from which tho unmar ried are free." It would bo Interesting to know from what shallow gossip about American family life the dlvlno but lax Sarah derived tier stock of mis information In regard to American home's and American girls. So far as our girls are concerned, no one has ever known them to hIiow any backward- ,ness about assuming the obligations of tho married state. It Ih only n ipies tion with the great majority of them of meeting the desirable and desired mate. Instead of marrying as late as possible oil" girls aro n great deal more prone to marry In haste. In splto of the ancient Injunction ulxnit repenting nt leisure, than their cautious and canny brothers. The American girl, guided by an Instinct that seldom falls her, regards tho fresh bloom of early womanhood as tho most fascinating possession of her sex. It Ih tho charm that brings the suitors to her side In drovoH so hIio can choose. After It Ihih passed she knows that, save in excep tional cases, her matrimonial fate will bo slimmed up lu the aged spinster's prayer, '(lood I.oid, any man." HALF A CENTURY YET. When Will the Natlnnul Pension Itoll Come to an 12ml V A pension oltlclnl In Washington has been trying to tlgiiro how long It will be before the national pension roll comes to an end. lie practically admits that ho Is uimblo to solve tho problem, owing to the fact that there Is a differ ence from year to year In tho increase aud decrease of pensions, and there are also tho Spanish war peus'lous to be considered, for which, outside of the Phllppluo service, there have already been tiled two-thirds ns many applica tions as (hero were troops attuilly en gaged lu tho war. According to his llgures, there were at tho close of the year a total of lllKl.fi'JIi names on tho roll, an Increase of -',010 from tho pre vious year. During that year the names of i:i,:t;H pensioners were drop ped from the list, but this was more than offset by the -1.VM4 that were add ed, 4,(11)0 of these being names restored that had been previously dropped for various reasons, says the lloston Her ald. He then figured that If there was no Increase at all aud an annual aver age decreaso of 4:1,000 a year, tho pen sion roll would lie exhausted In about twenty-threo years, or In 1021. As throwing a llttlo light on tho question the statistics of the Mexican war pen sioners tuny be quoted. This war ended tlfty-llve years ago, and yet there nre today H,:t."-' survivors on the roll, as well as 8,151 widows, with a total num ber of hcuctlclnrlcH amounting to 10, 4(14, while on June HO, 1000, there was still on tho pension list ono survivor niid,1.742 widows of the war of 1812. If tho civil war pensions and those for the Spanish war are to run on anything like the same rate, the present century will be inoro than half gone before there Is any promise of the wiping out of all pensions resulting from our wars of the past: and It may be stated that from 18(11 to 1000 the pension system has cost Uncle Sam no less than $2,r2tl, 074.010. Itomiirkitiilrt Tree In (Jermnny. Naturalists lu (iermany aro much In terested lu u wonderful old tree which has been discovered near Hamburg. It Is an oak, and Is notable not only on account of Its great bulk, but also for the fact that at the base of the trunk it Is entirely hollow. The trunk, Indeed, Is not more than eight or nine feet high, but It Is more than twenty feet In clr cumfcicucc. Some Idea of the size of Its Interior may Ik gathered from the fact that four persons recently found ample room in It. In winter the old oak looks very bare aud gaunt, but, according to itciisnuts lu the neighborhood, who have known It for many years, It regularly puts forth new twigs mid foliage every spring, so that, undent nnd decayed though Its trunk may be, It Is neverthe less crowned and surrounded with masses of given leaves, Just as It was lu the days of Its youth. The iHoplo of Ilomburg are very proud of this nat ural curiosity. Kxcua itile First Sheep Hut the young folks nre to giddy mid thoughtless! They don't consider the future! Second Shcen-Oh! well, my dear, you can't expect it young lunih to spend nil Its time thinking nt roast mutton! Puck. lu milting a He It Is a good plua to clinch the liar.
