The higher salaried positions are so few that there Is Uttlu Inducement for capable operators to remain long In the profession, consequently the ranks are being- constantly recruited from schools, mercantile and law of fices, and some of the mot responsi ble positions 'n the railroad world are thus filled with Inexperienced and unfit men.

Fair weather friends by your side will run When yours is the path of pleasure; But cloudy the sky and ob scured the sun, Their love lacks the needed measure. But If clouds grow dark and the way grows steep And the harsh wind blood Is chilling. But few you'll find at your side will keep With hearts that are warm and willing. So here's to the friend who stntttis by you Tho' foiil be the wind and weather; Whose eyes look love and whose heart beats true As you tread dark ways to gether. For he lends you strength from his strong right arm, And you build new faith on his heartbeats warm. While you laugh at fate and Its threats of harm ( On your way o'er the storm swept heather. Will M. Maupln, In the Commoner. When Carlyle, some 60 years ago, coined the term "captains of Indus try" as he looked out upon the world without mingling with It, from the quiet vantage ground of quaint Cral genputtock, he gave It as much cur rency as any coin of tha realm, and It represented superior talent, genius even, and conscious responsibility to gether with a rough and ready sense of honor that was Incapable of Indi rection, chicanery or meanness of any sort, says the Memphis Xcws-Sclml-tar. Transplanted to this country within ! the past few years and applied to our i Jugglers of finance. It soon' acquired i a qualified meaning, and It is destined at no distant day to become an op, probrlum, the dialect of obloquy, a stigma of dishonor. TRUSTS AM) MONEY BAGS. The Information that H. M. Cake, one of Portland's candidates for the United States senate Is actively enlist ing the trusts In his campaign will not aid Mr. Cake's candidacy among the common) people who are opposed to trust domination of the senate. If Mr. Cake obligates himself to the tobacco, sugar, book and other trusts In his. campaign for the sena torshlp. how cna he faithfully serve the pe6pie of Oregon? Thus much for Mr. Cake. "As to Portland's other candidate, Jonathan Bourne, the common peo ple need no Introduction. His money bags are ample it Is true, but how about his past record In Oregon? Strip from him the flamboyant gleam of spectacular politics and take away his money bags and what Is Bourne? A penny for your guess. The truth of the senatorial situa tion Is that Judge Stephen A. Lowell of this city, the plain man of the people, with capability devoid of cant, with honesty devoid of ostentation, with fixed, practical Ideas of good government and with the nerve and courage to stand for them at all times and under all circumstances, Is the leading candidate for the senate In Oregon today. Judge Lowell will make a campaign among the people. He will meet the common man at home and talk to him as man to man. Bourne and Cake may conduct their campaigns through the trust agencies and by means of hired eulogists. The people are not attracted to such men nor to such methods. What a sad spectacle has met the eyes of the nation of late In the In surance Investigations! What a sad spectacle Is meeting them now! In Chicago the criminal pork packers are on trial because they violated the law and were discovered and appre hended. In St. Louis the Standard Oil criminals who have enjoyed Im munity so long In their careers of lawlessness, are being brought to book because an Inflamed public sen timent Is demanding that the lash of retributive justice be applied to the wrongdoers. And these trials! These blessed trials! Captains of industry and their hirelings enter the witness box, raise their hands to high heaven and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, calling as their witness and asking as their aid the eternal God. Then they launch out on a course of moral perjury, at least, If not legal perjury', by concealment, tergiversa tion, evasion, or downngnt lying, by declaring that to answer a question would incriminate themselves, or that they do not recollect anything about the matter. Oh, Mnemosyne, goddess of memory and mother or the Muses, what sins are committed in thy name! "I have a brother up In New York state who has had legs like these for 20 years, and he's over 80 and doing business every day.'' ... , . v Robert J. Wynne, now consul gen eral at London and formerly postmas ter general, and Hilary A. Herbert, formerly secretary of the navy, were In line together at the a'evr Year's re ception at the White House, "Wo have life Jobs," said Wynne, "I don't understand," replied Her bert. "Why." said Wynne, "we are ex cablnet members." Glfford Plnchot, chief forester for the government, and James Rudolph Garfield, head of the division of cor porations In the department of com merce," ar the two most persistent visitors at the. White House. They run In to see the president almost any time. A dooi keeper kept tab on them for n month. Plnehot'a score was highest. He called 77 times, while Garfield had but 63 visits to his credit. Saturday Evening Post. A VOODOO SCORCERESS. A personal character In the Creole negro world is Delphlne. Besides be ing n female Jack-of-nll-trades, she can cook a first-class course dinner, knows the healing power of plants, and can cure the most obstinate head ache by the mere manipulation of her large and "Supple black hand. Delphlne Is largely in demand a9 mistress of ceremony for, every wed ding, funeral and christening In her part of the town. When she has donned her gayest toggery she pre sents a really striking figure. In her ears she wears enormous hoops of gold, and red Is Invariably the domi nating note In her apparel. She en Joys unlimited popularity among the white folk, but Is held In awe by the people of her own color. And there Is reason for this. Rumor has almost reached the point of certainty . that Delphlne Is a voodoo sorceress and has time and again exerted evil spells upon her race. Who knows? One fact Is clear she Is not always as sauve and forbearing with her own kind as a compatriot should be. As she stands In the evening light, smok ing her corncob pipe, with arms akim bo, there is a look of mystery and thoughtfulness In her bead-like eyes. She is no doubt thinking that the handsome rooster, now pecking at the last grains of corn fallen from her hand, is eating his last meal on earth, and that tonight she will snatch him from his roost, decapitate him and present him all warm and bloody to the great spirit voodoo, the mighty and sacred snake, the divinity of her diabolical sect, together with the other obligations of toads, lizards and young owls. Put of course such assumptions ar) based on whnt her own people think of her, for old Delphlne may never have been inside of a voodoo house, and her solicitude for her fine chan ticleer might Just as well be associat ed in her mind with anticipations of a delicious fricassee, succulent with dumplings and brown gravy.

OWNS 1718 TEAPOTS. , A rarely beautiful and, In fact, the largest and most costly private col lection of china to be found In this country, in any one line that of tea pots, both antique and modern Is owned by Mrs. Harrison Brownell of Providence. The number of pieces has now reached 1748. and aa Mrs. Brownell is steadily following her pursuit, not until she has 2000 pieces will she con sider her collection complete. Her Interest In ceramics commenced six years ago, when she received the gift of a curious and very atttractlve Japanese teapot shaped In the form of a bird. Upon this was based the growth that has accumulated specimens of all kinds and sizes, collected from all j parts of this country and Europe. Side by side are teapots costly and I Inexpensive, of exquisite and fantastic shapes, of unique and ordinary de signs, of gorgeous coloring and the most delicate tints, of historic and unknown origin, of aristocratic pedi gree and obscure birth. This unusual collection has no two teapots alike. Many of them cannot be duplicated. Boston Globe. The supporters of Hearst In Nfw York, and of Weaver In Philadelphia, should Join with the other reformers In a call for a national conference to take the same independent political action In the nation that has bfen taken In the two cities named. The tlnio to act Is now while things are hot. The nntlon needs reform as bad as do those cities, and the reform movements In the cities need the backing of a great national organiza tion a great party of the people. Missouri World. COMING EVrENTS. THE BLAME FOR WRECKS. Two or three of the recent horrible railroad wrecks have been caused by the mistakes of telegraph operators at lonely stations. The public naturally blames the operator, but this judgment is formed without proper knowledge or under standing of conditions. On the majority of railroads the wages of telegraph operators range The present city council is no less able to conduct the business of the city than former councils. Hereto fore the finances of the city have been managed without the aid of a "financial agent," which position J. R. Dickson now occupies. It seems that the city treasurer and the bank which enjoys the use of the city funds could manage the Investment of a few thousand dollars from the accumu lations In the various city depart ments each year. As far as actual benefit to the city Is concerned, It would be better to give the $300 per year paid to Dickson as salary as fi nancial agent to the captain of the Salvation Army to be distributed among the needy. The most graceful thing Mr. Dickson can do is to resign this velvety office. April 5. 6 Inland Empire Teach ers' convention, Spokane. April 20 Primary nominating elec tion, state of Oregon.

Three hundred million barrels, ac cording to trustworthy estimates, are manufactured every year, in the United States. Of these, probably the greater number are used to hold solid contents, such as flour, sugar, cement, lime and potatoes or other farm pro ducts, and are called "slack" barrels, as distinguished from "tight" barrels, which are used for oil, liquors, wines, and other fluids. Woods suitable for slack cooperage are commoner and cheaper than those used for tight bar rels, which were once made almost exclusively from the finest white oak obtainable, and which must always require material of a high grade. Nevertheless, slack barrels of the bet ter grade, notably flour barrels, re quire material which, like elm. Is ranldly becoming scarcer. With the enormous drain on supplies, manufac' turers are already feeling the need of economizing In the use of the rarer woods and of finding serviceable sub stltutes among those more plentiful Frazier's Book Store Can Too Hcllevo Tour Senses'?

But it does not pay to sell MENNENS POWDER nearly as well, as it pays to sell aa imperfect and impure substitute which, costineabout half the costof MEN NEN'S, yields the dealer double profit. The "just as good" with which some dealers try to palm off a substitute is true any way. If it's only " just as good " for the dealer why push the sale. If it's only "just as good " for the buyer whv risk an unknown preparation for MENN'EN'S. There's nothing just as good as MF.N-N MEN S BORATED POWDER, and the dealer who says there is, risks his customer's skin and safety to moke aa extra profit on a sale.
