Formerly, he pointed out, it was the duty ef the newspaper to present a photograph of the interesting incidents within a limited area, while now nothing less than a biograph, with all the vivid, in- eessant movement of masses in all parts of the world is required. Such an extension of the scope of the , newspaper has enormously added to the wear and i tear of body and mind on the part of those who jpro- duce it. To illustrate these changes Lord Brunham added: : The other day I turned back to the date of the declaration of war between France and Germany, I think it was July 15, 1870. Well, if you will look to the papers of the .following morning you will find that in all, from every part of the continent and from America, you got about two columns of telegraphic matter. Now eompare that with the morning following the news of the definite outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan. Why, within a few hours you will find in the papers six or seven columns of tele graphic matter from every part of the world; you will find long and complete articles on the armies and fleets of the two powers; you will find accurate maps, which must have been prepared with infinite labor, and you will find descriptions of the command ers of the two services of both the powers. All this change in the service newspapers now render the people, as compared with that in 1870, is rarely eralized by those outside of newspaper offices. As a matter of fact, so partial are we all to the past, and so apt are most people of middle or old age to become praisers of bygone times, that credit is rarely given for what has been one of the most significant features of the progress of the age. Not only has this progress been steady, but newspapers of today are vying with each other in devising new ways and means of increasing the fulness and completeness of the daily world biograph they lay on the breakfast table, in most cases at far .greater expenditure to themselves and less cost to the reader than the com paratively limited newspaper of 30 years ago. This change, moreover, is not confined to the news part of the paper. The wider vision and the compre tensive fulness of these diaries of world events leave a heavier burden upon the editorial writer. Con cerning the latter Lord Burnham, quoting a conver sation of Dean Stanley, referred to the leader writer as a man of great intellect waiting for a subject on which to expend all his force the attitude of "the crouching tiger,' 'ready to spring. While the Amer ican leader writer is not inclined to take himself so seriously, certainly the demands of the cosmopolitan press of, today, as compared with the merely metro politan press of yesterday or the comparatively pro vincial press in the days before the Atlantic cable, afford opportunity for the exercise of the best trained intellect and the command of a vastly wider range of knowledge than was deemed necessary in news paper work 30 years ago. , .. , . , , GETTING RID OF THE UNRESIRABLE. The human family is divided into two classes those who take responsibility and those who shirk it, cays the Bulletin. The shirkers are the happier, and perhaps the wiser class. They usually have their own way, get what they want and use the responsibles as drudges and servants. ,, , Babies are typical of all irresponsibles. A baby simply lies on its back and demands that it be waited on. When hungry, the baby raises up its voice and promptly the hunger is satisfied. The baby does not ask whether people have anything else to do but wait upon a clamorous infant. It does not concern itself about people 's feelings or care what the world says. Plenty to eatj plenty of sleep, and relief from colic this the baby demands of the world, and this it gets. There are thousands of grown-up babies who re fuse to assume any responsibility for themselves or anybody else, and who invariably find other persons to carry them along, to take responsibility from their shoulders and, generally, play the part of a wet and dry nurse. Sometimes the grown-up baby is a de pended brother or son or father. Perhaps he is a drunkard, perhaps lazy, perhaps only what is de scribed as "shiftless," but in most cases he is all three. He boasts that he never worries. If he loses his position, he complacently f alls back into the bosom of his family and requires them to feed, clothe and house him. 1 Nor does he make any effort to find new employment or to keep it when it is thrust upon him. It 'the., responsible members of the family, by oxer cising their, interest, get him something to do, ht con siders that they have, done no more than their duty. The world 6wea him a living, he believes, and he sees no reason why he should not collect it from his rel atives.,., "'' i There is always at least one responsible member ol every family ; borne poor wife or husband, or mother. or daughter; or father, or son, who bears the troubles oi an me oinera. ( ine responsiuie uiewuvni uo hu w orringand most of the work of the family. 'One half of the race is "supported hy' the other half, tjic rresponsibles W the responsible the drones by the workers ; and the irresponsibles, it may be reuiarkod, resemble drpues in more ways" than 'one,' for they multiply rapiilly and,' when they die,' usually leave a legacy of Imngry little ones to be supported by t)ie responsible portion of the family. ' j i ' iThe care a few irresponsibles is a clog on' a ris ing man, bul there are few men of achievement that have not borne one or two shirking relatives on their backs in the;Upward climb. An ambitious man, ele vating himself, endeavors to drag the rest of lus family upward with him. , It would be an excellent thing for the world and for the responsibles if all the irresponsibles, the de pendents, the parasites, the lazy idlers, the drunkards and other incompetents excepting, of course, the bodily infirm were to be shipped to Africa and there left to their own devices. Africa and the irresponsibles both need development. It would be a shrewd action for all the civilized nations to set apart the African continent as a dumping ground for able-bodied para sites of all kinds. There, among strangers, the irre sponsibles would be forced to bear responsibility and look out for themselves, and the responsibles in Europe and America would be relieved of great burden. No doubt in Africa the feebler parasites would fasten upon the stronger and one-half the population would still support the other half; but at least the new conditions would train many to habits of responsibility, and certainly Europe and America would be better for the riddance of all irresponsibles.

To many of them the notification of their appointment, which filled their hearts with joy and conjured up before their mind's eye gorgeous visions of conspicuous snd lucrative careers, was an unmitigated curse. They came to Washington full of usty life, of high resolve, of lofty ambition ; they are here now, fallen into the sere, the ypllow leaf, their energies gone, their aspirations dead, their talents rittered away by the service cn a treadmill, with only one purpose remaining to hold onto a job; and unless dismissed sans eeremony, they will be here when the inexorable and inevitable messenger, who comes for all and will not be refused, knocks at their doors, even though he should postpone his unwel come visit a thousand years."

The colonel also, in equally emphatic and picturesque ways, has drawn the line at Hearst and Bryan. In fact, drawing the line is one of the col onel's most strenuous avocation in tlicsn degenerate political days. , The people of Portland .are to ask the legislature for more money to successfully carry out the Lewis and Clark fair project. There is some difference between asking and receiving. Judge Parker refuses to offer any suggestions on what a president ought to do which might possibly be of service to a rival candidate of success. In contemplating the Chinese assurances of neu trality Russia can not help remembering that China is something of a prevaricator itself. It would be too bad if someone else should have the floor when Judge Parker finally decides that he is ready to speak. , , . .: It is feared that California regards Mr. Hearst as an eastern man, while New York looks upon him as a westerner. - The Aches and Pains Will Disappear if This Advic Is Followed. A woman s back hnn many nc hes and pains. Most times 'tis the kidneys' fault. Backache Is really kidney none That's why Donn's Kidney Pills cure It. ' Many women know this. pead what one has to say about It: Mrs. Painter, wife of J. W. Painter, expressman, living at 310 East Seventh street, Portland, says: "I have had more or less kidney trouble all my life. When quite a young girl I had a severe spell of sickness, and all who knew me thought I was going to die. I finally recovered, but ever after my kidneys bothered me and I have suf rerea ai limes lerrioiy. I could no more lie on my left side than I could fly, and could not stoop to pick any thing oft the floor without working myself up gradually by placing my hands on my hips. In addition to this there were headaches, dizziness and trouble with the kidney secretions, for all of which I doctored and used more than one remedy said to be a sure cure for such annoyances. Nothing brought me relief compared with that received from Doan's Kidney Pills. The results stamp that remedy as one fully up to representations made for It."
