THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. Topics of the Times It li difficult to convince n conflrmo.l I" In 1 ir that iibmu of li I in Is not In Iiieil liy envy. Woiwu's hIioim nro t Up larger this yp.ir tliitn forniPily. I'uet will remain the (aiiio size, however. Tho hnnil Unit rooks the crnille may rule tlio worll, hut the foot that walks tho Jlo'or with n cnl.uky I why 1h also entitle to some credit. David Wark, though 100 years of jjp. Is Hrrvln ns a mouther of Ilia Canadian neniit". Mr. Wark thinks Dr. Oler may know more when ho gets older. "Thoro aro many persons In Jnll who nhoiild not lie tliore," says the Hoston (llohc. I oHlhly, but there aro mora outside who should ho In Jail; so hon ors aro easy. Tho United Sta'ci Henato Is com posed of tin cd classes of members thnso who have, been Indleted, those who have not and thosu who may bo Indicted later on, HurKcons have succeeded In saving n human eye by Kraftlnj; upon It n ploeo of a rabbit's eyeball. 'Hie owner of the eye will be lucky If ho Isn't troubled with wild bans In It There Is a lady In Ohio who has bo come a Krandmothcr at the riK of (III. Mtit that's nothing. Grandmothers who are not over 22 or "3 can be found In almost every chorus on the read. Miss Jennie Crocker of San Francis co has reuehed the nR? of 1H and come Into possession of $r.,000,(XK. Titled foreigners will please lllo pliotogntpliH of themselves with their applications. Professor l.oeb Is able now to hatch son urchins from unferllllr.isl i'kk. but If he wants to cause real excitement let him drop the sea urchins and lliu'l out how to not Kld without u ol mine. MIsKiildetl iihllantluoplsts aro trying to seeiiro a p.irdnn for .Iu'ho I'omeroy, the "boy Lend," who Is nerving a life sentence for murder. Some people aro never mi drilled with letting wull ciioukIi alone. In view of the decision by the Inter national eouiuilsdnu In the Noith sea rase, the least the czar can do will be to give KiiKland an order on Japan for n few of those sunken warships to make good the damagu dono to that fleet of trawlers. In a cane at I'lttshurg the other day In which a young lady claimed dam- nges from a young man for kissing her, thu. Judge, lifter carefully scrutin izing the fair plaintiff, dismissed the milt on the ground that the defendant was Justlllable. This would appear n clear tnstaueu of u gay old bird come to Judgment There are ho many men past -10 who nre at work and doing things that Dr. William Osier has met an extremely rough house. Koine men beyond CO, nt which iiko the doctor drew the limit, have proven themselves so good In a rough and tumble that the university man has come out of his (touts with them In rumpled and dlsilgured form. Popular actors and actresses take warning! Kir Henry Irvlug's recent close call was the Inevitable con.ii quenee of crowding social affairs Into a profession which taxes the nervous forces iiioio, pirhaps, than any other In our complex modern llfo. It Is suf ficient to undergo the strain of the theater without adding to It that wear nud tear which Is Inseparable from dining out and speech-making, tho highly exciting and, It will be con fessed, also, fatiguing pastime for brilliant men of mark. The world do mnnds too much and the favorite given too much, t SB T3 The seriousness of tiro losses In tho United States becomes conspicuous as one gets down to details. Hero is an Interesting comparison; The revenue of the Statu of Maine In 1D03 was, In round numbers, two million live bun drcd and II fly thousand dollars; tho Aamngo done by tires In the State dur ing that ye.ir Is estimated nt five thou sand dollars moro than that sum, with out taking Into account the destruc tion by forest tires, which would have ndded more than a million dollars on the wrong side. Doubtless almost nny other .State would make quite ns had showing; but such figures, whereso ever found, aro full of suggestion. Dishonesty in polities Is so generally the rule that men who are honest :n their private huxlncss do not hesitate to falsify, cheat and steal In the mat ter of political nominations and elec tions If they can ilo so with any pros pect of escaping punishment. Th?ro can be no honest politics expressing tho choice and voice of the people un less, In the first place, the people are enabled to take peional part by means of primaries In nominating candidates, and, in the second place, unless they perform their public duty of qualify ing themselves to voto lu all elections, prlmury and final, and then go to tho (mils aihI cast their votes. Kternal vtgllauc Is tho prlco of liberty, A Pittsburg 'steel magimto" now re elding lu New York has recently cre ated a fund of a million dollar far tfca purpose of erecting model tenements In New York. Apparently he desires to duplicate substantially the splendid bullJltifca de.Ised and control! d by the City and Mubuiban Homes Company tle.ni, Ughl, airy structures, tilted with many mmU-rn conveniences wlnre e e nt people can live In ton ort in ehe.tply as In an equal number of mi j whol.'Homo rooms In a slum. In pn tine the model tenements herelofo constructed nro a phllanthrop. em - r - prise. The tenants pay for what Uu.v get but they get a gre.tt deal moro tlinn other landlords glo for th money. 'J he tenements are n tunnies enterprise also, and yield a piollt of 1 per cent on the m mey lnvclo !. I'o i t less tho new one will pay as well, and forty thousand dollars will become available every year to build more ten ements. Evidently this Is the feiture of the good-housing question that tip tieals most forcibly to the man who gives the million dollars. He does not I noul or wnnt the 4 por cent, hut he does Intend Uiat his benefaction shall endure and benefit an ever-Increasing number. As a business man and as a philanthropist he might Justifiably an ticipate a day when, by tho natural law of growth, model temment shall displace the other kind. We speak of business and philanthropy In the same breath. That tho association no longer seems absurd marks a distinct pain for IkiUi. It Is entirely proper that char ity, even, should bo administered on business principles, and It Is right that a man who Is helped to a more om fortahle way of living should aid to ex tend the hcnctlt to his neighbor. Tho strength of tho model-tenement plan Is that it recognlrcs thrso principles. Thereby It appeals to many who, llko the Pittsburg man, are able and will ing to tlo generous deeds when Judg ment apprves what generosity sug gests. No mnn reaches the ago of triumph but by the steps of trial. Ho makes no particular progress by patting himself on the back. Virtue may bo Its own reward, hut It Is not Its own advertising agent. Tho most success ful men are not tho ones noisily, de manding public attention. The Ik-sI and most useful women In tho world nre not the bright buttcrlles of the stage, whose press agents Incessant !y Haunt their pictures and their lit tle nothings before tho public. The uiilainlcd men and women who nre quietly attending to their own little tasks, every day contributing some thing substantial to Industry and pros perity, rearing children In habits of honest labor and right living and sup plying example that elevates tho mor al and Intellectual level of their llttlo communities these nro tho men nud women of real lulliience nud pow er. Huceess Is theirs In tho fullest measure. Tim power of the locoiuo tlvo lies not lii the tremendously puff ing smokestack or lu tho shrill scream of tho waste steam of tho s.ifety valve, but lu the unheard, unteen, but silently working steam In the cyllu dcr. Tho swift Hying pl&ton seems to bo doing wonders, but It Is only bo lug forced back and forth by a fovea It knows nothing about, but must olMy. Just so the men wo call great, because they seem to perform mar vels, are but tho expression of tho thought and Impulse of tho united mass of unknown common people No groat man ever yet sprang up ex cept from a great ieople. It Is not given us all to have success as gor goous as (he rainbow. Hut It need not matter. Success consists lu doing jour best at whatever Is nt hand or lu at least trying your best. In deed tin real success Is moro In the trying thnn In the achievement We may achieve by chance help of others or of forces that aro not ours. Hut our efforts aro all our own. It Is the efforts that aro u part of our very selves.
