Is himself a Tolatolst. The czar is a kindly, overworked, unhappy man; he writes vague, melancholy verses. rides a bicycle, and takes um- ateur photographs his umuse- ments are few; Tolstoi's books appeal to the Slavic mysticism In him. accorded with his dreamy love of humanity, and woke In him aspirations for peace on earth and the fulfill- ment of the early Christians' dreams of fraternity rind equal- Ity In love. He reads Tolstoi; he talks Tolstul us Edward VII. reads the racing guide and talks horses, and as William II. reads everything and talks everything, lletneen the czar, imprisoned In absolute sov- erelgnty. and the free old man of Yasnala Polluiiu, there Is a strange bond of sympathy, both mental and spiritual. Success Magazine, OKEGOX AM) THE ASTOISS. That the Astor family, famous for having founded and named the first settlement In Oregon, is not taking any Interest in the celebration of. the anniversary of Lewis and Clark's coming to the coust is significant. As the coming of Lewis and Clurk per haps started the Astor venture on the coust, on Its downward path to failure, It is not reasonable to expect much enthusiasm from the descend ants of the old Astor. in this event of 1S05. Discussing this entertaining sub ject In a recent number of Field and Stream, E. Hough, a correspondent, says: The. managers of the Lewis and Clark exposition, which will be held at Portland, Ore., next summer, have written many letters to the Astor family, of New Yok and London, and have explained to them how grateful would be any encourage ment or assistance rendered by that family to the promoters of this ex position. Thus far there has been no reply made from any member of the fam ily to any citizen of Portland. This matter seems somewhat strange, for there are many of us who refuse to believe that the Astor family, wealthy as It is, has ceased to be American at heart. America was kind to John Jacob Astor has been kind to all his de BMAHit nnta I1 Wa A irtar asvra fits A .. toria venture, which gave the United Mates its first hold on the far N'orth .wesl territory, was almost the only failure made by .that shrewd . mer chant, John Jacob Astor.

If the Astor family, - out of their abundance, should prove American enough to help on so distinctly Amer ican and distinctly worthy an enter prise as the Lewis and Clark expo sition, t am sure that muskrats, mar ten, otter and beaver of America would rise up and call them blessed after all. The Astor family Is popu larly supposed to have outgrown Its muskrat days. STATISTICS OF RAILROADS. . Now that the large railroads of the country ar complaining that the In tervention of the interstate commerce IAn.Y itttght rates would bring ruin to their business and stagnation throughout the whole system of the railroads. It Is not unlnstructlve to get a casual glance at Just what the business of the mllrouils represents In rash capi tal. If the Insterstate traction Hues are In suc-h a perilous condition financi ally that the adjudication of. freight rates by a tribunal beyond the prov ince of their operations would tip the balance In favor of disuster, the figures fall certainly to give warrant to this fact. In the Inst report -of the Interstate commerce commission on the survey I of the llllleaae Bo-aretratlnff t!0'J. 110:1 embraced therein the gross earnings of the railroads were l.66.33.Sl: the gross earnings for the previous year on 2II5.SIS miles were Jl. !. 846.907. The average gross earnings per mile of line for the lust year were $9410. tin increase over that of 1903 of J1S2 and higher than the corres ponding average for any previous year since 18S7. The ratio of operating expenses to earnings for the last year was 67.75 per cent. The, dividends declared by the several roads for 1904 were higher than those of the previ ous period by $23,594,139. It seems from the commission's re port, that of gross earnings per mile on all railroads throughout the coun try $2r81 were assignable to the pas senger service und $6592 tu the freight service. It is not difficult to see where the milk lies In the cocoa nut for those railroads that protest ugalnst "wrongful usurpation of pow er" on the part of the Interstate com merce commission. The question still remains: With a record of prosperous business such as that set forth by the commission's report, will a legal curtailing of the railroad's exclusive dictation of freight rates effect such tremendous havoc us prophesied by the stock-owning seers? Tile East tM'egonian cannot locate the origin of the opposition to the state normal school, which is gradu ally developing In Oregon. Surely a state having the strong love fur the public school that Oregon cherishes, cannot hope to secure the best re sults In public schools without pre paring teachers for their profession. Surely it cannot be Imped to muln tatii the high standards of the public schools by Imposing on them untrain ed, impractical and unfit teachers. It would he just as reasonable to ex pect the health of the community to be guurded and maintained by self made physicians, without scientific or school training, as to expect good public schools from untrained teach ers. If this opposition is not center ed in the sectarians and those In fa vor of private schools, to the exclu sion of the public school, tiien It is difficult to locate the bitter opposi tion. Surely It Is an enemy of the public school, who would retard Its progress or cripple Its efficiency. It Is time to make u bold stand for pub lic education for the masses, ami the legislature should not mince Its words In declaring for sufficient funds for the training of public school teach ers. T. O. Halley is endearing himself to the te?ople of Oregon by making a brave and unfaltering stand for the Irrigation law, now before the legis lature. He Is sacrificing private bus iness and perhaps driving clients away, by antagonizing the big ditch and iower companies, and taking a stand for the distribution of the water of the state to the actual set tlers.. But it will be more than re ward for him to enjoy the satisfac tion of having made this stand in the face of the opposition of a large ma jority of the members of his profes sion, and In face of the opposition of all the large corporate ' interests, which desire the present irrigation laws) to prevail. The people Will not be slow to forget this service. . It will require something more than an Indictment to humiliate George C. Brownell. HE WAS THE DEMOCRAT. Senator Dubois of Idaho, was com ing down the street from his house this morning when he ran across a bunch of little boys and girls who were deeply Interested In a game they were playing. says the Washington correspondent of the New York World. - . Nine or 10 of the children were parading around, with drums beating and flags flying, and a disconsolate little chap stood on the curb, 'trying hard to keep his tears back. 'What's the matter?" asked the senator of the little fellow on the curb. "Oh." he replied, between sniffs, "we're playln' politics." "Playing politics, eh?" said the senator. "Well, why don't you play with the others?" "I am playing," sobbed the boy, "but I'm tha democrat." The aggregate capitalization of Eastern states companies having a capital of not less than $2,000,000 each, organised during January, Is EAST OKKGONIAN, PENDLETON, GEtlMANV'K WG FAMILIES. one of the queerest forms of holi day munificence ever known In Ger many, writes the Berlin correspondent of the Cull. Is the raising uf a popular fund by u leudlng newspaper for the family of Herr and Frnu Ludwig, who huve Just been blessed with their twentieth child. As the- family pro vider is an humble employe uf the city gas works, earning only $5.60 a week. It became necessary for sweet charity to Intervene. Within two weeds more than $1000' has been raised In honor of the family, which is doing such noble iwork In building up Berlin's population, to any nothing of several wagon loads of food and clothing which have arrived at the tenement home since the Lokul An zeiger brought the Ludwlg's dire needs to public notice. The Ludtvlg fumlly now consists of parents and 13 children, seven of the offspring having died, but ob the young husbands of the two eldest daughters girls of 18 and 20 have Just had to begin their military serv ice, Grandma Ludwig has had to take her daughters back home and with them their four youngsters, so that Pupn Ludwlg's $5.50 per week still has to provide for 19 hungry mouths. The married girls do domestic work in outside families and bring home u few murks a week, and Mother Lud wig until now has found If possible to earn extra money by sewing, but the birth of her last buby. u few weeks ago, brought on an attack of seml-bllmliiesa which has incapaci tated her for anything but taking care of her brood. Burring her eye complaint, she Is in splendid health, and until now has never experienced 111 effectB uf any kind from her stren uous motherhood. All her children living are healthy and sound. The money raised by the newspaper sub scription Is being paid out to the fam ily In weekly sums, and enough has been contributed to ItiHure them a tidy income for many weeks to come. Paul Itothe and wife, work people in the suburb of 8chmnrgendorf-Ber-lin, had their 18th child, n strapping baby hoy. In October. Thirteen of their children still live. The record for mule children in Germany is held by a worthy shopkeeper numed Ilo ruck In Weissenfels .which has 14 big boys living. Four children have died, two girls and two boys. Seven of the boys are in the urmy. HltYAVK ITK8T WATKHI.OO. At the recent celebration of the I Chlcugo Press club's sliver Jubilee, j William Jennings Bryan told a story of his younger days. Illustrative of the truth that a man's public utterances, j founded on honest convictions, do not i as u rule, make enemies of those he I opposes. j ... It was In 'the earlier days of his cu reer In Nebraska, when he was blos soming out us a political orator, und In the gubernatorial campaign then in progress he delivered scores of speeches against the republican can didate. "Hut election duy came." suld Mr. Hiyau, "and the candidate whom I had consigned to political oblivion was victorious by something like 58, ooo majority. I felt rather humiliat ed, and I trembled at the thought of ever meeting that man. I would dodge around to avoid running against him and did my best to keep him from getting his eye on me. ... "At length there came u time when 1 was placed upon the program for an occasion where he presided. There would be a speech, then a song, then another speech, then perhaps some music, then another speech and so on. As my turn approached I began to grow nervous In anticipation of the moment when the man I feared would call me forwurd to Introduce me. Finally my name was called, and as 1 stepped nut on the. platform the governor came forward with out stretched hand and a kindly smile. Instantly my heart swelled with grat itude toward him. He took my hand In u cordial clasp, and leaning for wurd asked in s stage whisper, 'Beg pardon. Mr. Bryan, do you speak or sing?' " Hecord-Herald.

The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible lor her to do anything calmly.
