Xt Is often meaningless and applies fre quently to anyone, who by untiring efforts Is endeavoring to secure a com petency for himself. To hear some of the Astoria rounders talk, every man la the city and county Is a grafter except themselves and they are the personification of ail that Is pure and holy. As a rule a man who Is con stancy talking about grafting Is not to be trusted, that is, he will bear watching. What really is meant by grafting is a man who holds a pub lic trust and diverts the funds of the people to his own use. There Is no such word as "graft" In tlbe diction ary with the application usually meant of It An Illustration of a grafter Is Castro, the dictator of Venesuella. Though the world has be? n aston ished at the arrogance and supreme impudence of the half-caste who for the moment Is the most picturesque individual In a land of political sur prises, little la known of his ante cedents, the life and character of the n resident of the Veneiuelllan repub lic. A Mestizo of mixed Indian and negro blood; a common frontier store keeper and cattleman IS years ago; a follower of Anduexa Palaclo in the revolution of 1S92. a fugutlve In 1894, a deputy by appointment from Presi dent Andrade In 1898. the leader of a revolution against Andrade In 1889, In October. 1899, a victor and self-proclaimed dictator of Venexuela, and since then the most successful and un scrupulous of political leaders. This In brief Is the history of Castro. During his six years of successes he has enriched himself while his coun. try has become Impoverished In Its treasury. While Venezuela has been passing through -bankruptcy. Castro has been taking over concessions from himself as the government to himself as Costro, the Individual. He ha amassed money, though Venezuela has been unable to pay her Just debts. By ten acts of his own creatures In con gress he has amended the constitution os that he is perpetuated in power. He hungry germs to carry human organism. Teh doctor Issues a similar warn ing against the use of the shaving brush, though the whiskers, too "te?m with microbes." So It goes.

An Illustration of this is case recently tried at Dallas. Accord in to the Tolk County Observer, Rev, J. A. Mears of Buena Msta brougm suit against William McLane for 15000 damaees for defamation of charac.er McLane was charged with having cir culated a story to the effect that the minister had been seen In a compro Winn Three hundred and seventy-eight nersons in Portland have voted that their favorite hymn is "Heaven Is My Home." That ought to be a favorite hvmn with people who do not hsppen to have the good fortune to possess a home on earth. The high school of Albany, Ore.. Is preparing an exhibit of that city's fos stl at the Lewis and Clark fair. It Is needless to say that the display will be exceedingly large. According to the Brooklyn Life small boy asked his father for a gooJ book to read ,and the father recom mended the Bible. But the boy said he wanted a book with fairy tales. The old man said the Bible would meet his requirements lo that direction. Thn the boy said he wanted a book that had lots of killing and fighting In It. The old men again told him to stick to the Bible, as he would find all kinds of stories in the book. The old man has evidently read his Bible well. PERSONAL MENTION. A. V.

Work of taking the census In var lous section ot the state , is pro greasing. In Clatsop county It will be competed this week. In Marion coun ty they' have completed enumerating JS00 people In the penitentiary, asylum and reform school and will start la on the resident population this week. In Multnomah county a large proportion of the census will be taken on June 1 wbea the Lewis and Clark fair opens, as there will probably be more people in Portland that day than on any other one day of the fair. mi.hv rxMitlnn with a Mrs v. j.tvnn mit fnrslim rarjital from his ,T..uh.i,nlln IVia fact that the nam vw. - - o - - ui . ,,.

With his treatment of Venezuela and the Venetuelians, the world has no concern. His dictatorship,, so far as It pertains to his own country, is a mere scandal; a matter that concerns Zenezuela and not the wor)d. His as sumption that Castro to the state will sooner or later be contested by some other leader of ambitions, and settled as such matters have always been set tled In South America. But he will not much longer infringe upon the common la f nations, nortreat nor treat with arrogance the rights ot other nowera. If he continues on bis present course. It Is plain that he win be called to account His person ality has contributed to the gayety of cations to some extent But he takes himself seriously, thinks that he Is a strategist of high order, as great as Caesar, Napoleon, fiottke and the su perior of Washington. It Is the esti mate that he places upon himself that makes him dangerous, for by some overt act he may endanger Interna tional peace. To this country particu larly Is Castro a vexing problem. It Is plain that he will have to brought to terms, and it Is evident that Presl dent Roosevelt Is the man that will accomplish It o TOOTH BRUSH AND MICROBES Science is out with a new mandate, says the Seattle P.
