CAPTAINS OF 1XDVSTKY?
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!

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. Metro

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
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 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

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.

Wood for Barrels.
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

CUM because of its perfection and purity.
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

the dealer who says there is, risks his
customer's skin and safety to moke aa
extra profit on a sale.
