U : THE DEPARTURE OF LOOMIS. h
FRANCIS B. LOOMIS has gotten the president to
make bim out to be about the greatest and best
, - ... man, diplomat and, statesman,-ever born into
,the woria.""TiU maybe" so J" but wc- think the common
" people 'will, have their doubts about it. - : ,
: It is currently supposed, that Mr. Loomis is a very
. rich man not in the Rockefeller class, of course, but in
the asphalt class. If he inherited his money, all right;
he was in. luck; but we never heard of his inheriting a
fortune. If he made it in speculation, adventure, ex-,
ploiution, as a private citizen, all right; we all would do
v the same if the opportunity showed up. But as a high
'official of the government Mr. Loomis had no right to
'malre a nickel in the ways suggested beyond his exact
. '. salary. -'' . ' . '.- - '." -
, Commenting on the curious Loomis-Bowen case' the
.Salt Lake Herald saysr "On the eve of his departure
from the service of the government, Assistant Secretary
of State Loomis, the well known asphalter, has con
sidered it necessary to give himself another coat of white
wash. With the aid of his friend, the president, he man
ages to do a very complete piece of work. Mr. Hay, we
; are given to understand, thought Loomis about the best
assistant secretary of state that the nation lias ever had;
. that he did not fall short of absolute perfection. Now
this is all very interesting, but it is not important ex
; cept to Mr. Loomis himself. We incline to the belief
- that the country will not go to the dogs immediately
after Mr. Loomis' retirement, although it is quite ap
parent that Mr. Loomis thinks so. : ' .
; The whitewashing feat will not deceive anybody.
, Even the president's friendship for Loomis has not been
strong enough to keep him in the public service. The
state department will be well rid of an individual who,
" to save himself, finds it necessary to quote a man whose
. lips have been sealed by death and to pile insults on an
other man who has already been punished fof whatever
faults he may have committed." , ,.
Possibly this is unjust, but it does look as if Bo wen
had been made a scapegoat, and that Loomis is after all
not quite the greatest and cleanest man in the world.-:

that even newspapers are notunwilling to play a dog-in-the-manger
policy at the very time when breadth and
patriotism are most loudly called for. ; When it is re
membered that the ocean liners come every day into
the port of Portland, that they come and go without let
or hindrance, that they carry away with them thousands

to the cheaper transportation methods which the sea af

the natural, the economical and the common-sense busi
ness thing to do. In the great movement which is now
being well started Astoria will play its own important part
but its citizens should see that in the undertakings just
ahead of us there is a duty for every citizen and every

occasioned no surprise.
Th text of th instrument was com
tnunlcated by Lord Lanadown to Am-
baaador Raid aom day ago, and waa
forwarded by the latter to the atat
department - In taking thi action be
fore publishing the - document ' Lord
Lanadown observed a policy which he
haa conalatently followed' since the
praotlcal conclusion of the negotiation
last June. When Sir Mortimer Durand
the British ambassador, returned to
Washington from a vlait to London he
officially advised th 'president that hi
government and Japan war about t
Ign an offensive and defensive treaty
to take the plac of th defensive agree
ment which was signed on January SO,
1903, and which was to run five years.
Count CasslnL Russian ambassador,
waa deeply concerned at th time of the
signature ef th first treaty Over th
report that the president and Mr. Hay
had bean consulted during Its negotia
tion and that It text had been com
municated to them before Htn publica
tion. Th matter was regarded as of
such Importance, indicating, with other
things, that th United Btate waa in
sympathetic aocord with the signatory
powers, that Count Casslnl was in
structed to ask what truth there wa
in these reporta. Mr. nay directed tn
American ambassador at St. Petersburg
to say to Count Lamadorf. th Russian'
minister of foreign affairs, that - "the
negotiation which resulted tn the treaty
war abeolately-unknewn to the govern-
ment of th United State until th day
of the publication of, th treaty.-
No such explanation can be mad In
regard to th new convention In case
it ahould be asked by any European
power. In fact, if th opinion of thi
government wer to be sought concern
ing It, th response would be made
atatlng that aa th treaty ' wa cort
eluded, for th purpose of assuring the
statu quo and general peace in th
far east, aa well aa maintaining th In
dependence and Integrity of th Chi
ne' empire and . the principle or equal
opportunity for tha commerce and In
dustry of all natlona In - China t and
Korea, which ar th essential prin-
ciplea of American polity, it meet with
the' full approval of th president.
While th United Btate haa not recog

occurred In the statue of Korea

it haa -tacitly don so by th apprecia
tion it baa given, of . the j paramount
character of Japan' influence In th
kingdom. A Lord Lansdowne pointed
out In th dispatch accompanying th
new treaty thi change wa responsible
for th modification of the first treaty
which provided for th maintenance and

of Korea as well as of China. .

BEAUTY, WIT AND
LOVELINESS IN WOMEN
By Beatrlc Fairfax.
When I wa a little girl w used to
play a game in which those who did
not win had to par rorreiia. 7.
In order to redeem th forfeit w
were given certain taak to perform.
Among them- waa on which never
failed to bring a oertaln amount of both
oils and wo in It train.
You war told, to "knI to th pret
tiest, bow to th wittiest and kls th
on vou love best.'1 . ..; . . . .J
r. The girl kneeled to and th girl kissed
were always well contented, but th girl
bowed to took small consolation from
th tact that her wit was appreciated,
With th boy It waa quit different.
They liked to be the on you loved best
and they liked to pos a wits, but eared
not on whit to be thought beautiful,
It all gee to show that even In her
childhood the two thing roost craved
by woman ar love and beauty.
Given her choice between being th
cleverest woman , in th world or th
moat beautiful woman In th world.
there la not on woman In tan thouaand
who would not choose to be th latter.
For she knew perfectly- well ---that
though her eleverneae may win man'
admiration, it will not quicken hi heart
beats by on throb.
ut if she be beautiful hl then It I I
quit another thing; h bold his heart
in th hollow of her band, to do smb. aa
she will.
j Now. It la not by any means neces
sary that a woman should b .beautiful
in order to win love, for mllllao of plain
women, have been well and truly loved.
But I doubt if in all th world' his-
tory there . haa ever been on beautiful
woman who went through lif unloved
by man In plenty.
And ao a woman always feel that if
sne naa beauty ah 1 sure or love. -
Many a man haa married a woman for
her beauty, but I wonder If a man baa
ever married on for her cleverness.
But there 1 on quality - fot which
mora women are loved and wooed than
any other, and thai Is ordinary womanly
lovablenea. - .v ... . - l
And that fortunately la a quality for
which every woman ha an equal fight
ing chance. .
Sh may not be clever and h may
not.b beautiful, but that la no reason
why sh may not be lovd
ir added to her lovableness Mi baa
beauty and wit. why then, of course,
she l Irresistible. .
.But f th three thing, girla. th on
to pray xor is the nrst, for wit. aa
aaid. will not win lov. beauty will fad,
nut lovableness will last till th end.
It la Strang that what woman values
so In herself sh ahould set uch com
paratively email value on tn man. '
Woman realty cares very llttl about
beaut- in a man. Aa long a h la
atrohg and good and maatarful an I
satisfied. -. . .-
A man will go wild over a woman who
ha nothing but a pretty fac to recom
mend her, but a woman never love a
man for hi beauty alone.
Even In the fooliah litU childhood's
gam th man' and woman' natures
show up.
When the boy chooses between th
wittiest, th prettiest, and the one he
love beat he eliminates tha wittiest at
one from th gam, but It ia hard to
chooa between the prettiest and the
one he love best for th slmM reaaon
that ha would like to kiss them both.
With th girl It Is different Sh lm
mediately aelact th on ah lov beat
and th other two do not exist o far
as sh 1 concerned.
It 1 a great satisfaction to be witty
or to be pretty, but It 1 an unqualified
messing to be loved beat
