That increased competition in all
mercantile branches, necessitating an In
crease in expenses, ' eould have no other
result than a decrease in the profits, is
a fact that has for eoms tints attracted
the most careful attention of many of
our largest and most progressive mer
chants with the view of adopting some
lea-ltlmate methods to counteract this
. constant drain on their income. Very
many Innovations, having this object in
view, have bea tried for m. years
past and with marked success in many
instances. None, however, has given
each satisfactory results as the adoption
of the method of adjusting claims with
out legal process. The benefits that
are derived from this method to both
creditor and debtor are fully verified by
its rapidly Increasing popularity and
the very large number of our New Tork
and other eastern, up-to-date and, pro
, gresslve merchants -that are meeting
with unbounded success by Its general,
adoption, by which claims are speedily
and definitely adjusted and the assets
of the debtor are applied to. the payment
of his debts; thereby both debtor -and
creditor are relieved of the expense, un
certainty and anxiety that result front
the old way of collecting claims by le
gal prooess, and the Urge sums so ex
pended are reserved for tbs benefit of
both creditor and debtor. This new
method must commend Itself to any
merchant who wlllglvs the subject e
momeyt's consideration and is willing
to abandon a system he Is accustomed to
for years and adopt an Infinitely better,
both for himself and his patrons.

An illustration of how . thoroughly
some coins go out ef circulation was
furnished by aa incident in' a atreet ear
yesterday. A sedate man sat reading
his newspaper when the conductor
touched his arm for his fare. Without
looking up he handed over four coins.
After scrutinising them the conductor
said: "Can't take 'era." The man
simply looked up.
"your fare, please," said the con
ductor, u;.:." ! ,
"I offered you my full fare," said the
man. . . .. ' '
Tbea the conductor began to get mad.
"Tou muan't attempt to put off any

the man.
Then the passenger said to his neigh

of the United -States is a sort of a dictator, while the people
rlghtly-regard lm merely as their chief magistrate, as the
executive head of the administration. This domineering
conception of bis official -duties has excited widespread re
sentment among Republicans and has led him to make mis
takes that would have prevented his nomination If the Re
publican party had had any other available candidate.
"As it was, however, he had virtually a walkover, and
the Democrats were entirely out of the running until Judge
Parker's telegram to W. f. Sheehan at the Bt, Xxiuts con
vention revealed to them that they had a candidate pos
sessed of strong sense and statesmanship..: Before his ul
timatum was delivered It was said In the' Herald that Judge
Parker was the servant of the Democratic party, not Its
master. Ills telegram ott the gold question proved the
contrary, It showed thai the1 Democrats who had nomi
nated him believing him to be King Log had really chosen

'patriotism that is WORTHY OF

ONE of the most striking characteristics of the Jap
anese Is their Intense patriotism. Illustrated many
, , ; times during the present war with Russia by acts
of extraordinary courage and devotion and by a spirit of
individual self sacrifice which seems to pervade the whole
nation. The Japanese In foreign lands are no less loyal
to their country than their compatriots at home, and have
been equally eager to do all in their power to help the na
tional cause. ; v '-. .' ' . i ' ' ' ... '
Aa Instance of this spirit has been afforded by the Jap
anese residing In this city, who, though few in numbers
and probably almost without exception earning little more
than a livelihood, have yet raised among themselves the
sum of $18,000 which is to be sent back to Japan to aid in
carrying on the war.
80 large a sum could have been raised only by great
self-denlaV for contributions wer received only from Jap
anese. Undoubtedly similar action has been taken by the
Japanese in many other cities- in this country, and the aid
thus afforded will be, in the' aggregate, considerable.
When a people are Imbued with a love of country so
strong as the Japanese display they , become formidable
enemies in war, no matter what the power and resources
of their. adversaries.- , ' v

THE PRACTICE, of cities formulating their own
charters free from legislative Interference Is fast
taking root ' :.' :
- .The city of Bellingham In Washington recently adopted
by. large vote, a charter which was framed by a body of
15 freeholders. It Is modelled largely on the lines of Port
land's new charter. , -.- '
The representative character of the charter, commission
la shown by .ths Employment of the . various members.
There were four lawyers, one .blacksmith, one physician,
two merchants, one civil engineer and railway superin
tendent, the president . of the state normal school, the
county commissioner, county treasurer, one Insurance
agent, formerly mayor, the auditor of ,th Falrhaven land
company, a saloon-keeper and member of council for years.
.. Their labors .were long continued, characterised by
sharp discussions and wide differences of opinion, but they
all agreed on the result reached and no fight was made
against the charter in the election. The charter provides
for city elections separate from state and county elections.

Teddy, It Sunday School Teacher.
Oystsr Bay Correspondence N. T. Times.
It became generally known yesterday
that Theodore Roosevelt Jr., . Is a
teacher in a Sunday school. He is II
years old and is almost ready to enter
Harvard. He has been teaching his
class for seven weeks, and ths fact
cams out through ths refusal of the
son of a fireman on the Long Island
railroad to earn ft Quarter by carrying
a message.- -
"I'd ba late for Sunday school," hs
explained, "and the teacher's a good
storyteller, even If he Is the presldsnt's
son." r
Theodore wis found seated in ft cor
ner of the Sunday school, and about him
was a semicircle of boys, ranging in
age from I to 10 years. He read to them
the story, of St Paul, as told In the les
son sheet wherein It Is stated:.
"St Paul got permlanlon from the cap
tain of the Roman soldiers to speak to
the people from the castle stairs. He
made a most Important speech to the
people In their own-language, telling
them all about his conversion and how
ths Lord had led him. They listened to
htm patiently until he declared that God
had sent him to preach to the Oentllee.
"Then the tumult broke alreah, and
they would not hear anything mora It
seems strange to us that they were not
glad to have the Gentiles hear the good
news of salvation, but at that time they
thought tbs promised Saviour waa to be
their special possession. '
"To save Bt Paul from the angry mob
the officer brought him Into the castle,
where he scourged him. Hs waa greatly
Impressed to find that he was a Roman
cttlsen." - v
When the boys hsd ' snswered the
printed questions, showing that they
understood the inoldent in the life of St
Paul, and had committed to memory a
verss from the Bible, their teacher, who
doea not discourse on ths text, but tells
his pupils of Biblical characters, re
counted the story of David and SauL
Near Theodore's class was ths class
of Miss Christine Roosevelt his cousin,
who teaches a girls' elssa. They were
slower than the boys In memorising the
verse and answsrlng the questions, be
cause the boys were eager to listen to
ihe stories told by the president's son.

COMMENT ON;PORTLANDS FAIR
The , Portland Commercial dub .. Is
doing a wonderful work tn presenting
the advantages of Portland. Oregon and
the Paclflo northwest to tbs people of
the United States, Canada, Mexico and
foreign countries. , Enquiries are coming
from all sections' of this continent
The club la making a special effort to
secure editorial endorsements of ths
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition
and Oriental Fair from the leading
newspapera of the country, and is meet
ing with splendid success. -
The St Louis Globe-Democrat consid
ered by many as ths greatest newspaper
in the Mississippi valley, treats tbe sub
ject editorially aa follows:
St. Louis and Portland.- some .' or
the speakers - at - the - dedication of
the Oregon building a few days ago
on ths world's fair grounds Inti
mated that the Bt Louis fair will aid
the Lewis and Clark exposition, which
is to bs hsld at Portland. Or., In 1005.
Thay were correct too. It would 'seem,
on first thought that the fact that tbe
two fairs come within a few months of
each other "would injure the later one,
more especially aa ths earlier exposi
tion la this ease is far larger than the
latter one will be, or has aimed to be.
Nevertheless, Bt Louis will help
Portland tn this Instance. Many of the
exhibits which would not "otherwise be
sent to the Lewis- and Clark fair will
be transferred from this city to Port
land aa soon aa the exposition here
eloses on December 1. The cost In the
shipment from here to the Pacific coast
will be comparatively small. , Aa the
exhibits, are prepared, the expenditure
necessitated by their display in the
Oregon metropolis wlHbe alight" Port
land will have the use of them after
they have served their purpose in St
Louis, and ths Paclflo coast enterprise
will thus be ft large galnsr by tbs clr-
oumstancs that- it follows soon after
the big fair bare. .
Portland la to be congratulated on ite
good fortune la the date of Ite expo
sition. The Lewis and Clark fair la
worthy enterprise, which deserves ths
patronage of tbe entire country. Fort-
land la not so favorably aituatea aa is
St - Louis for drawing on the country
and the world for visitors. The popula
tion within ft radius of 100 miles of ths
ottr is much less there than It is here.
Still the affair Is being widely adver
tised, and it will undoubtedly attract a
large number of visitors. Portland is
a wide-awake and Intelligent community.
It ia growing rapidly In population and
wealth. Tbs drain upon it caused by
ths Lewis and Clark fair has been heavy,
and evinces a publle spirit which de
serves recognition. . The Lewis and Clark
exposition will call the world's attention
anew to the growth and the' capabilities
of the Paclflo coast and will thus be
an enterprise in which the entire Ameri
can people will have ft direct concern.
The Chicago Tribune responded to the
reauest of the Portland Commercial elub
for an editorial, accompanied by ft letter
In which the Tribune expressed the wish
thst its comments. .would meet with ap
proval In Portland.
Lewis and Clark Exposition. On
June 1, 10I, ths Lewis and Clark
Centennial exposition will be opened in
Portland, Or. First thought will doubt
less question ths advisability of another
exposition so soon after the one at St
Louts. But the Portland fair la on a
much smaller seals, and the financial
proportions of the enterprise are wisely
reduced to ft conservative basis. . AH

Family friends say that Mrs. Charles
Mercer Hall, . whose girlhood nams wss
Bertha Parker. Is ltks her father, both
In countenance and. character.
Then his hair must bs sandy In color,
having no place even In the suburbs of
auburn. It must grow thick. Hers Is
heavy. Shs wears It high and lets ths
curls that havs no fear of rainy days
play as they wUL
His eyes must be ft good brown. Not
ths kind that once were gray and dark
ened, nor like unto that faded black.
But brown, with lights that are brown's
own, and no stolen ones. Brown that
shows Its color when contrasted with ths
black of ths iris.
Judgs Parker must havs loads of pri
vate personal fun out of the world, with
eyss and hair like those of his daughter.
Brown eyes like theirs must sse the
Joy of life.
His features must bs regular. Hers
are. Her noes la well shaped and small.
Bo are her ears. Her forehead has both
hslgbt and breadth, but the curls ksep It
from too great earnestness.
' Her mouth likes ths half smile. She
does not laugh often, but the half smile
Is permitted to have as much fun as her
curia ' i i' , '
Her mouth Is small and pretty. It Is
a woman's mouth, and no one yet hss
said that it la like unto that of Judgs
Parker, except as far as ths half smile
Is ooncemed.
Mrs. Hall Is tail. Her figure Is slender,
whloh makes her look even taller thaa
she le. Bhe walke wslL Long strolls
with her father since her early childhood
have given her .a certain ereotnees that
comes to those who walk much, breaths
fresh air and- look at nature.
There Is reason why Mrs. Hall should
resemble her father both in features and
In many ways.
Hs Is her Ideal. One grows to be like
that whloh one sdmlres muoh and loves.
"To me my father is ths best man In
the world, He Is my Ideal." That Is ths
wsy Mrs. Hall apeaks of her father.
Neither doee shs say them as If shs
wished to have others than herself of
her opinion. Only that that Is the testi
mony that she has to give of a lifetime
spent In the eooiety of her father. ' -
Shs Is an only child. She had brother
ones, but hs dlsd Just st hey hood's best
tlms, 14, snd since then shs has been both

Tbs Oregon fair will profit from the
St Louis exposition. Many foreign and
domestic exhibits will bs taken from St
Louis to Portland. Missouri has set
aslds 110,000 to transport her 1200.000
exhibit to Oregon, and other states have
signified their intention, to make a simi
lar disposition of their St Louis ex
hibits. ' ,'
Ths Oregon fair will have soms ad
vantages over the Missouri exposition.
It Is the first world's fair to be held on
the Paoifto slope, and it will therefor
appeal to ft section of population whloh
haa not become accustomed to world's
fairs in its immediate vicinity. Further
more, the promised reduction In railroad
rates to ths Oregon exposition will bs
sufficient of itself to attract thousands
to Portland. The sast south and middle
west have all had their big fairs, and
now that ths far west wishes to try its
hand at ths gams the country will' be

That the south la not only taking a
great interest in the exposition, but Is
willing to hslp it along, was proved by
editorials from many papers, aa la evi

a little more than II for every man.

to the census of 1100. No stats having

svsr given so large an amount towards
an exposition or any other publle enter

sparsely populated as It Is. Oregon Is
better able to do thla than many of the
older states, because it Is without a
sUts debt
The Lewis and Clark exposition prom
ises to ho the one event of Its character
next year. It will be national and In

many eastern states, as well aa prac

participate In thla exposition. A large
number of the exhibits at ths St' Louis

foreign displays, will be removed to
Portland, thus Insuring ft splendid for

The Portland exposition will doubtless

t Advice to the Lovelorn
ST HEATBXCS VAntyAS.
Dear Miss Fairfax I am a young girl
II years old and would you kindly give
me your advice t There is ft young man -five
yesrs older than me and he is a
member of the same churoh I go to, and
would it be proper for me to go out .
with, him without my mother! My
mother wants to know, as hs is" a very ,'
nice young man and I do not like to
hurt his feelings. Q. J.
Do you know thst X think little girls ,
of ypur ago should not be going out -with
young men at all. or if they must
go they should always havs their
mother with them. Tou are too young,
my dear. Can t you wait a year or ooT
Tou havs lots of tlms for beaux and ,
fun. If I were you I would read and
study and try to make myself as at
tractive and cultivated as possible. I
Then, when you are old snough to go .
out you will attract a much batter .class
of man than If you wsre Ignorant.
Dear Miss Fairfax I am ft young
lady II years of age. One year ago I
made the acquaintance of a young man
almost a year younger "than myself. ,'
He began coming to see me right away
and kept my . steady company - for Ave -
months. During this tlms he did not ,
tell me that he loved me, but I cer
tainly thought he did; he was always
very kind and affectionate. One even- ,
Ing he told me that be liked me better
than any other girt he ever knew, but -he
said that he did not want to marry
a girl older than he was. . He never ,
came back any more after that evening.
Some time ago he wrote me asking if
he eould call to see me. I answered yes. ;
He has called two evenings. Now, Miss '
Fairfax, what do you think he wants to '
corns back fori 'He seems to think Juet
the same of me. Tell me how I should
treat him, as he Is very affectionate to
ward me and X love hint dearly. .
CONSTANT READER,
I like the tone of your letter, It .
sounds womanly. I do not think ths
year's difference In your sges waa sum- '
clent excuse for the young man's eon- -duct
However, you must remember
that he is very young. ' If hs were older
he would act In ft mors manly way. Let ' -him
corns and see you If it gives you
any pleasure, but don't allow hint to bs .
affectionate If that means that he Is .
familiar , In his manner with you. Be .
Just es nloe to him ss you can he, but
don't let him think he can win you back
too easily. I am talMng to jmu as I
would to a sister or) girl friend, so X
hope you will take It la that spirit
