!fHJS .a MM AGE, PORTLAND. OREGON. TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. "How cnn snoring lie cured V" nsks n contenipornry. LiitKlunitni. A mnn'a Itigumilty doiwn't pot him out of lialf tin; trouble It gets liim Into. If wc would hpp oiirnolvcH nn others sec tm nil oculists would linvc to work overtime. It is mild Hint the cznr Is nflllctcd with the hlucs; perhaps through fenr of the Iteds. The brink nt Monte Cnrlo serves to show Hint a fool continues to he horn every minute. IS von In the liitci'imtlotinl perspective tliu slouch lint has become greater than the crowned head. The success of a book ngont proves that the truth Isn't so mighty and doesn't always prevail. All the foreign nations are cuddling up to us. That Is all right. Wo arc friendly with nil but not too thick with any. The average woman's husband sel dom comes up to her Ideal; the Ideal Wi most cases has to come down to the hUHbaiul. Doctor IN'IcIioI'h list hIiowb In several places that If one can't buy his way hi to the "real smart set" lie may still marry Into It. Now wo know why tho Bultnn of Turkey Is behind In his running ex penses. Ho has been Investing In a diamond-studded automobile. Cuba starts Into self-government with the comforting knowledge that there Is a soft place to fall If the ex periment proves unsatisfactory. Mrs, Astor Is generally looked upon as tho supreme leader In American so ciety. Hut she Isn't happy. Khe"s a grandmother, and all the world knows Unehelorn need not point with pride to one of their number who died nt the ago of 102. He might hnve lived h year longer had ho been a married innii. It 1m announced now that the Knlser Would like to come to tho United States, and that lie can't como now, and thnt ho may como later. Welcome, any time, Willie! Great men often honnt of the time when they worked for 'JO cents a dny and their board, but no womnn who Is tip over refers to tho time when she wns Homebody's hired girl. Tho Chicago Dally News says thero arc 1.10,000 pooplv on tho earth who do not know what soap Is. There are hundreds of small boys on whom tho knowledge has to bo forced. Tho young man's llfo was saved by a package of love letters which he car ried In his pocket. Tho bullet which wiim intended for him struck the letters, melted, and dropped harmlessly Into bis left shoo. A Trench inventor has produced n now voting machine which Is said to secure secrecy and accuracy. It may bo that In time enough safeguards can bo thrown around tho ballot to keep human nature, absolutely honest. Hut It Is doubtful. The gifts made during MM to about ouo hundred and llfty Institutions of learning In tills country aggregated more than elgbty-ouo million dollars. It is a vast, Impressive sum less, to bo sure, than the value of our corn or wheat or cotton production, but likely to raise an oven more valuable crop. Although the neck of land which con nects North and South America Is far from being a desirable place or resi dence, politically It Is ouo of tho most Important morsels of territory on the Itlobe. Next to being tho first to climb the North I'ole, Undo Samuel craves no greater boon than to build and manage au iNthmliiii canal, bo It called I'ananui or Nicaragua. Judge Tuft's recent report will go a long way toward settling tho tpiestlon as to whether or not the climate of tho Philippines Is healthy, He says that for u tropical climate It Is. The pres ence of lepers, the nppenrnnco of bu. Iioule plague In Manila and some other places, and the fact that smallpox pre vails in home of tlio provinces ho ad mits; but careful medical Inspection ml stringent sanitary measures are re ducing ull these dangers. Tho largo number of cases of Insanity among American soldiers, which bus been re ported In the papers, Judge Tuft says frankly Is In no way the fault of the climate, but Is due solely to tho drink ing of vino, u native liquor which often contains us much as seventeen per cent of fusil oil, Tho use of this drink has now been prohibited. Municipal mismanagement seems to reach a climax when political consider ations dictate appointments to ottlces requiring technical skill, those of city engineers and electricians, for Instiince. A change In ollttcnl control In a cer tuln large city recently brought nlwut the removal of an expert from tho posi tion he had long and etllcleutly held. Ho far the spoilsmen had their will; but at lust uccouuts the now boss hud not been nble to And In his own faction n man who dared to take the place. If such nn Incident ended by leaving an Important bureau without a head, the situation would he bad enough; but there Is always the greater danger that an Incompetent person will be appoint cd, and that the technical service of the city will become merely one of the cogs in the political machine. Yet surely It ought to be clear to the most hardened partisan that there Is "no politics In science," nnd that ability should be the only tost for appointment to and con tinuance In positions that call for spe cial training. What the "rules of tho gnmo" arc to sports and pastimes, the "rules of pro cedure," or of parliamentary practice, are to the deliberations of a legislative body. In any kind of contest strength nnd zenl may go down In defeat before superior skill In tnklng advantage of the rules. It often happens In tho llerce political encounters in Congress. A deliberative body must have rules, even though In operation they some times seem to defent the ends of legis lation. The study always Is to formu late such codes of. parliamentary law as will bo most nearly perfect In their application. The House of Representa tives at tho beginning of n new Con gress frequently has a vigorous discus sion of the rules. This year there was nu attempt In the caucus of Republican members to secure eertnln inodlllen tlons of the old code, which was de feated. Then the Democrats tried on the tloor to accomplish the same result, but without success. Tho old codo stands. Upon the rules of nny delibera tive iKxly depends tho power of tho minority party, and especially the op portunity of the Individual member of either majority or minority. In tho House the membership Is so large thnt little power of Initiative Is left to tho Individual member; the lenders of tho majority party, whichever It happens to be, hold the conduct of affairs In n firm grnsp. The Sennte, being a smaller body, allows unlimited debate; minori ty members are thus able sometimes to accomplish by Indirection what they could not do on a nqunre vote. Hotli elements are needed In Inwmnklng the linn hand of the majority, nnd de ference to Individual rights. Inas much as every measure must pass both houses of Congress, n fair bnlnnco usu ally results. When Amerlcnns nrc studying trade statistics and glorifying the doings of the pcopltt of thin great nation, It Is well to look nt other statistics and re allr.e what a momentous problem con fronts this country. Suicide In Increas ing. A total of 7,246 persons killed themselves In the yeiir recently closed. The figures nro as near olllclnl as It Is -tosslhlo to make them. Of this total B,850 were males nnd 1,!105 females. Tho causes are well worth studying. Despondency lends tho list with a.USO victims. Despondency, In ninny cases, Is tho penalty of ambition, and Is a species of Insanity. It Is closely asso ciated with the growing business of n commercial nntlou. It touches tho lives of the men who would be rich mid pow erful and live nt a rate of a mile n minute. They neither ent, work nor sleep properly. They bum the caudle at both ends. Every year they want to do more than they did last year. Many can stand the pace for a considerable length of time. Others can't. They worry, they brood, and then they Join the "despondency list." Hecause of do mestic Infelicity there were fell sui cides. Liquor drove -KI0 to self-lufllctcd deaths; business losses, 07; disappoint ed love, 283; III health, 018; Insanity, 07-1; unknown, l.OM. Mob law Is al ways bad law, mid mob law Is Increas ing. In 1001 thero were 118 legal exe cutions, VM lynching and 7,831! mur ders In tho United States. Those aro bad llgures. They show how much of barbarism there Is In mankind. The excuse of the average mob for murder ing a murderer Is that It desires to make Justice speedy and sure. It re fuses to trust to the courts, with their technicalities and delays. It acta while passion Is hot and tumultuous, while the desire for revenge still tills human hearts. The remedies are education and courts that, by their conduct, are a guarantee of Integrity. When tho peo ple know that Justice Is sure and cer tain, surely the lulllctlou of the death penalty will be left to tho law. Self- restraint and slowness to auger should be taught In every school In the laud. It Is a doctrine that should be Instilled In childish minds. If tho feeling that makes men stain their hands with blood Is to be educated out of human beings. It will have to start with tho children, and be so thoroughly Im pressed upon them that It will become a part of their lives. A Teat. "Yes," nnltl the grizzled Imclielor, "lie In married.
