THE !NEW AGE POItTIiAHSTD. OREGON. TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. Oli, but won't It !( clillly when tho Gtibnti minister to Spain arrive In Madrid! Montreal secret service men nulled $15,000 worth of tu'ctli. They were false, and KiniiKKlcd, That man who has twelve adopted children may aspire to be the footer father of his country. It Is a good thing that men like Mor gan die some time. Hlse they would be swinging the globe by the tall. Hussell Sage Is complaining because bis rent Is to be raised thin spring. Ituss ought to save up and buy u little place Bomuwhere. A recount shows that. the National Association of liens laid only 15,01)0, 0!4 eggs last year. Six chluu eggs were counted by mistake. Cecil Ithodes must have smiled In his sleeve occasionally when he thought of the good things that would be said of him after he was dead. A writer In the Atlantic Monthly, without using these Words, however, shows how the Illstorlc.il Novel of to day Is the runny Dreadful which has Ui'keu a College Course. A Loudon schoolboy, In an examina tion paper on Greek History, wrote: "Ah to marriage among the Greeks It was the custom for one man to marry one wife, and that Is what Is called monotony." Now that King Edward has aban doned a theater box for tho orchestra circle, or the pit as It Is called across the water, boxes will still further de cline In value except to display dress and Jewels. They are not well adapt ed for hearing or seeing the stage. Mr. Carnegie, discussing tho question of rich men retiring from business at the age of 0(1, said lately: "So many who have an abundance to retire upon have so little to retire tot" The re mark Is full of suggestlveuess as to the real value of life, and Is recommended to those people who are doubtful whether a collegu education "payH." Along with great Increase of trans Atlantic travel has come an equally tdgulllcaut alteration In steamship methods. Ten years ago speed was thu greatest desideratum; to-day com fort Is aimed at. There must bo ex press steamers for malls and business men, but the boats that take a day or two longer are tho ones now preferred by thoso who seek an enjoyable week on tho water and to whom tho high tension, pitching and throbbing of tho racers Is a distinct drawback, lu this thu common sense of travelers has forged to thu front. i Thu Supremo Court of tho United States has sustained thu Illinois antl option law which makes Illegal and punishable thu purchase of grain or other commodities to be delivered and paid for at some future time, Thu friends of thu statute belluvu that It will pruvont "corners" lu grain. Tho court nays that although the legislature may liavo been mistaken lu thinking It would have that el tec I, there was no evidence to show that thu law was not passed In good faith. Tho decision opens the way for a fair test of thu question whether n prohibition of "dealing lu futures" Is u full remedy of thu evils, that have caused great complaint on the part of thu Western fanners. Two Inkstands recently bought for the desk of a Mayor In a small .Now York city at tho price, as charged, of tieventcen dollars each, suggested to a public-spirited man thu advisability or an Investigation. Out of his own pock et he paid an expert accountant to ex amine thu city books. What ho found has led to thu Indictment of thu May or, the City Clerk and seven Alder men for misconduct. Tho "soulless corporation" Is an old grluvauco of tho discontented. Tho "senseless commu nity" also deserves condemnation. In difference about public administration on thu part of thu voter Is thu surest guarantee that there will bu waste, ex travagaucu and corruption lu tho out clal. i ' - Thu will of Cecil Ithodes 1ms boon a fruitful theme of comment In this couu try and almost without exception tho American press has praised it as a benefaction, deploring at thu same time the ltfu work or Ithodes In his Imperial. Istlc program. An exchange, tho De troit Journal, Is of opinion we should look this gift horse In thu mouth. It asks these tiuestlonsj "What will bo thu effect of education nt Oxford on thu characters or moro thuu loo young men yearly from thu Statu and Territories of this country? lu nuswed to this lies thu whole value or tho posalblo harm of acceptance of the Rhodes' gift. Of mere book knowledge we catv nothing; let that bo what It Is. lint what of tln Michigan or Nebraska or Porto Uleo young man who spends four yours at Oxford at thu time of his life when his character Is being cast lu Its deep est matrix? Will ho return simply broadened as thu Intelligent American returns from prolonged travel abroad; or will he return moro Kugllsh than the KuglUhtuau? It Is easily concelvnblo that he may return with more or less of contempt of democratic Institutions, In that case, what of his Influence lu ltd country? Of course the pwcimt- Jst nco of Engllpli crtuentctl young men, compared ,wltlt our population wouldVbe Htitail, but the Influence of even a small but Intelligent contingent would be no Inconsiderable factor. Hnd Mr. Idiotic had In mind the best education for young Americans and (jcrmaus he would have provided for their educa tion In America and In Germany. Hut Cecil Miotics was Imperialistic and English to tho core. A clever old king had a birthday, In Europe, recently, nnd rounded his eighty-fourth milestone. That Is n long life for a king. It means that Christian IX. of Denmark has ho lived as to earn the respect and love of his subjects, for kings that are (tyrants who mlsusepow or and make class hatred, seldom get so close to the century mark as has this grizzled man, who Is tho oldest Euro pean sovereign. Ills early career waH stormy, and the wars of 1803-4 left Denmark ho crippled that she has not played an Important part In tho affairs of nations since. Next to being a world power, there Is nothing like shelter un der tho wings of n powerful nation. King Christian known that. He took a hand lu thu matchmaking business. That Is a part of a king's Job, and It Is being done lu a manner to knit the thrones of Europe together. Sometimes It Is hard on thu persons who arc mar ried, for kings can make matches, but they cannot force love, nnd so royal weddings aru very often affairs of tears atid sorrow. Hut even that Isn't al lowed to Interfere with the ambition or kings, ho Christian's daughter Dagmar became the wife of n very cold gentle man who was Heated on thu throne of Itussla. Tho nihilists Mulshed him one day, and thu widow Is now tho Dow ager Czarina, as women nro not al lowed to occupy tho throne In that country. Another daughter, Alexan dra, married the man who Is now En gland's king, and furthered her royal father's plans, often at tho expense of her own happlnesH. Viewed from tho standard or royalty, Christian IX. has done well. Ho has lived according to his lights, nnd, as klngu go, hasn't been n bad sort. Soon ho will bo gathered to his fathers and tho world will wag along without a Jar, for when king and commoner die about tho only difference Is lu thu size of thu funerals. Iiccontly llooklover Andrew Carnegie had a "library day." He signed checks for amounts running from $0,000 to $175,000, and-planted libraries In 38 towns and cities. He Is being criticized. It Is natural for a number of people to feel that they could spend his dollars more wisely than he does. They say there are books everywhere, millions of them. Nothing Is cheaper than good literature, and there Is a feeling that Is all but general that thu very rich should usu a part of their surplus wealth In putting an cirl 'to actual suffering, to help thosu who starve and slave, vic tims of man's Inhumanity to his kind. Yes, a man starved to death In New York only a fow days ago. Ho fell dead on the street, and his last words were, "Oh, I am so hungry." A few of tho Carnegie dollars the price of a book would have saved a life, but remember this: Since thu beginning of wealth practical charity has been a problem. How to reach thosu who aro really lu need without benelltlng thosu who will not help themselves has puzzled sociol ogists for years. Iteal suffering doesn't parado Its woes often. Pride Is Its com panion. It says: "I'll get along, some way. I don't want charity or philan thropy or n penny of your money." Tho best brains In thu country hnvo not dis covered an antidote for thU kind or hu man misery. Isn't It possible that thu libraries aru to help lu a way that thu critics do not dream or now? Hooks are education. Tho moro peoplo read tho moro they know. Tho moro good literature there Is lu their hands the more well stocked brains there will u vent unity be, and good brains never were and never can bo a drug lu tho market. Kdueatlou, whether obtained from schools or rending, helps men and women to live. It Increases their re sources. It enables them to demand their rights and to obtain them. It raises thosu who are down and Im proves thoso who nro up. When knowl edge Is general It Isn't hard to believe that there will be less suffering and lit tle poverty In this world. So let's bo glad that at least one very rich man continued to Invest tho riches ho has amassed for the undoubted good of hu manity. At least it Is better than hoard ing for tho seltlsh love of money. Food lbr Cattle. In Gorman stipir retlnerles molasses Is being used In the preparation ot? food for cattle. It Is tlrst heated to 00 degrees nnd then Jutrodticcd In a steady stream Into n mechanical ml se er. At the sumo time tho forage, with which tho molasses Is to ha Incorpo rated Is also Introduced Into tho ma chine. There Issues from the mixture a warm, moist, coarse-grained mass, which Is left In a pllo for several hours with certain precautions. Iu a short time there Is thus obtained homo geneous dry product that can bo easily transported and preserved. Tho mate rials employed aro of many kinds, In cluding wheat, chaff, cut straw, turf, sesame, peauuts, rice, corn, etc. Ac cording to their nature these- aro pre viously crushed, grouud or flattened by machines similar to thoso used on farms. Tho whole plant for tho prep aration of tho food, except the boiler for working the molasses pump and the vats for heating tho molasses, Is plaeed In a corner of the retluory. It occupies little space, and can bo quick ly taken down and removed.
