Vain as vain dust the evil done
By mortals under moon and sun;
For instantaneous as light
After the evil comes the blight.
And tho the thunder falls un
heard, We cannot hope to hide the
word,
For the great Judgment angels
trace
God's whispered flat on the
face:
Unknown to us the Judgment
Book
Is open for the world to look.

"BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY."
High up on a precipice overlooking
the scene of a terrible wreck on the
Southern Pacific In California, some
body was written In great white letters
on the brow of the rocks, tin words
from holy writ: "Behold, I come
quickly." Several years ago a large
number of people perished In the
twinkling of an eye In a railroad ac
cident there.
On the bleak rocks of the Mendo
cino coast this thought has been
bt ought home in another terrible dis
aster in the sinking of the Columbia.
Capricious, Indeed, is the uncertain
fate on whose shoulders the human
species ride. Today at high noon 60
men are killed In a railroad accident.
Tomorrow at midnight thrice that
number go to the bottom of the sea
in a palaclous steamer. And every
second in the day human life gives
up the ghost here and there lit its
myriad of abiding places.
But no matter in what form it
comes, that Is a sunny philosophy
which says: "I am not afraid to trust
myself with that power which put
me here."
HEXEY, THE FIGHTER.
Every Oregonlan will be prouder
of Francis J. Heney, the land fraud
prosecutor, after having read the ex
cedent review of his life and public
sen-ices by Lincoln Steffens, in the
August number of the American
Magazine.
Bteffens begins with Heney as
boy, "south of Market street," a ring
leader of the street fighting gang of
the Bay City, and brings him down to
date, the fearless, persistent, capable
and IrreDroachable prosecutor of
fraud in public lands In Oregon and In
public office in San Francisco.
This review of the life of this useful
upright citizen Is Inspiring and should
be extensively read.
It was thought that official crook'
edness In Oregon was so safely In
trenched behind political Influence
that It would be Impossible to dis
lodge It. Vain hope!
This mild-eyed, soft-voiced attorney,
fresh from Arizona, knew how to pro
ceed and had the nerve to proceed,
and dislodged the criminals and the
record is now a part of the history of
Oregon.
COST OF RUNNING NEWSPAPERS.
Very few persons, comparatively,
have any adequate Idea of the Im
mense cost of producing a modern
dally newspaper, particularly In the
large cities of the country. Some au
thentic figures on the subject have
recently been made public and will
doubtless occasion surprise to the
uninformed.
The "composition" (printers' week-
ly payroll), for Instance, on the Bal
tlmore American is $2000; on the
Boston Globe, J4200; on the Globe
Democrat. $3000; on the New York
Herald, $4000, and other papers in
proportion.
Bills for special telegrams are an
other big Item of expense. On the
Chicago Herald a few years ago they
ran to $4500 per month; St. Lou!
Globe-Democrat, $12,000; San Fran
Cisco Examiner, $8000; Boston Herald,
$6000, and St. Louis Republic, $4,
000.
Then there Is the white paper bill
which Is greater than the others com
bined. On the New York World it Is
nl.i to run $700,000 per year, and on
the Nov York American
nhnnt the
Slime: .on mi: i.mt-Kt.
$250 nnn. mid nn the Boston Globe and
Herald about $350,000 each; on the
Enquirer about $300,000, and on many
other papers It runs from 100,000 to
1250,000 every 12 months.
While It does not cost nearly so
much money In proportion, to run a
newspaper In u smaller town as In
the large cities mentioned, the bill of
expenses would surprise many persons
who are not familiar with tho busi
ness. There are few local industries
that contribute more to the business
life of the community by virtue of
their payrolls than the newspapers.
THE DESPICABLE "SPOTTER."
There Is always a man for every
Job, no matter how low the Job or
how small Its emoluments.
But of all the Jobs creuted by the
commercialism of this age, that of the
railroad "spotter" or spy, seems to be
the lowest and vilest.
The "spotter" works with men for
months, makes their acquaintance,
gains their confidence, worms Into
their friendship, learns their secrets.
If
they have any
and then turns
traitor.
His treachery Is far more despica
ble than any crime he may be in
search of. He is a lower wretch than
the lowest thief in the railroad scrv-
Ice, because he betrays a confidence,
Ms a friendship tor a miserable
Balary.
It may be true that there is no
other way In which to reach certain
petty crimes In the service of big
corporations. But If corporations al
ways set a good example and did not
follow questionable tactics In their
dealings with the public, would they
not- more fully prevent tho crimes
which they seek to discourage by use
of the snake-like "spotter?"
The eagle-eyed statistician of Port
land never sleeps. Last week Port
land's exportatlons of wheat exceed
ed those of Seattle by three bushels,
Portland bank clearings overshadow
ed Seattle's by 93 cents. Shipping ac
tlvltles In Portland "skinned" Seattle
by four fishing smacks and two river
boats, and livestock shipments into
Portland were greater than those re
celved In Seattle by six hogs, a cow
anicalf and 19 sheep.
During the past two weeks the O,
R. & K. company has had perhaps 50
cars of material tied up In this pity
for want of men to unload them., It
has been impossible to secure men to
work at unloading ties and track ma
terials at any price. This Is an Illus
tration of the many strange causes
which enter Into the car shortage of
the country. The company needed Its
cars and tried every way to release
them for service, but could not do so.
The Oregonlan complains that sev
eral state Institutions In Oregon are
not located at the state capital "as
provided by the state constitution
There are many, many things which
have been done by political machines
In Oregon which are not strictly with
in the provisions of the constitution,
That's why the people are now doing
things for themselves.
Just think of people wandering aim
lessly up and down the dreary sand
beaches at the seacoast resorts, when
they might be really enjoying a sum
mer outing In the huckleberry patches
and along the trout streams of Uma
tilla county's Blue mountains. Sum
mer resorts, like prophets, have but
little honor In their own country.
The conservative democrats and the
Associated Press may be able to ellm
lnate Bryan's railroad ownership
plank, but they will not be able to
eliminate Bryan from the next presi
dential campaign. And -if Roosevelt
does not run, It 1b very probable that
Bryan will be the next president.
MEMORY OP SLEEPWALKERS.
The memory of sleepwalkers Is oc
casionally prodigious under the lnflu
ence of the dominating Impulse that
moves them.
There la an Instance of a poor and
Illiterate basketmaker, who was un
able to read or write, yet In a state
of sleep he would preach fluent ser
mons, which were afterward recog-
nlzed as having formed portions of
discourses he was accustomed to hear
In the parish church as a child more
than 40 years before.
Quite as strange a case of "uncon
scious memory" Is referred to by Dr,
Abercromble. A girl given to sleep
walking was In the habit of lmltat
Ing the violin with her lips, giving the
preliminary tuning and scraping and
flourishing with the utmost twenty.
It puzzled the physician a good deal
until he ascertained that when a child
she lived In a room adjoining a fiddler,
who often performed on his violin In
her hearing. Pearson's Weekly.

THE WHITE BELL-MARE.
Across the plains I Bee them sweep,
Against the ebbing light.
The pace they keep they still will
keep
At silent noon of night:
A fleet foot rules the caravan,
And sets the pace tor beast and man!
The bell-mare takes tho dusty road,
No rowel pricks her side;
She knows no rein, she owns no goad,
Save In her mettled pride.
The steeds that follow need no
scourge,
Sc well they feel her vanward urge!
For her. Is neither lash not check,
She keeps the pace she will!
single bell about her neck,
Sounds sweet, when all Is still
When all Is still, and night Is deep:
nd they that ride, ride half asleep!
She sets the pace that leader fleet
The rest they but pursue.
They have their fate from her swift
feet.
Yet fate o'errules her, too;
For 'tis tho pace the pace the pace
Controls her fleet and snowy grace!
They vanish on the glimmering plain
Beneath the western verge.
And all our life Is like that train,
That heeds a vanward urge;
We deem we travel as we will-
But 'tis the pace controls us still!

NCLE SAM GETTING TOO RICH.
A surplus of $87,000,000 Is unwieldy
and if the treasury's, receipts continue
to grow as they grew last year, sound
national policy will dictate a reduc
tion of taxes. The fact that Imports
re Increasing even more rapidly than
exports, and the further fact that a
larger share of Import duties Is col
lected on materials needed for man
ufacturing, suggest the conclusion that
the Dlngley schedules have done their
work In certain lines and need revis
ion. The balance of taxation on Im
ports could be shifted so as to read-
Just burdens and encourage trade.
We do not want to collect taxes Just
for the sake of piling up money in
the treasury, and the nation's inces
sant growth and rapid changes in the
conditions of Its trade and Industry
make It desirable to overhaul our
tariff and Internal tax systems at
suitable Intervals. New York Tri

WHAT MARY SAID.
Judge Brewer cttes a striking ex
ample of the sort of spoke which the
trickster can Insert in the wheels of
Justice.
A witness testified In a certain case
that a person named Mary was pres
ent when a particular conversation
took place, and the question was
asked: "What did Mary say?" Thlb
was objected to, and after some dls
cusslon the Judge ruled out the ques
tion. An exception to this decision
was Immediately taken, and on appeal
the higher court reversed the verdict
and ordered a new trial on the ground
that the question should have been
answered.
At the second trial the Bam! in
quiry was propounded and elicited the
information that Mary said nothing!

RICHER THAN ROCKEFELLER.
For more than 30 years the name of
Frederick Weyerhaeuser has been
linked with the lumber industry In
this country, and the man has even
been classed by good authority tfs
the leader of American lumbermen."
Of late a new distinction has been
put upon Mr. Weyerhaeuser that of
being "the richest manln the world
richer than Rockefeller."
Mr. Weyerhaeuser himself asserts
that he Is not rich, but "con pay his
own expenses;" those who have
watched his career from outside the
pale of his partnerships declare that
If he Is not already a billionaire he
has good reason to look forward to
something like that distinction.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.
Did you tackle the trouble that came
your way,
With a resolute heart and cheer
ful? Or hide your face from the light of
day,
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's
an ounce,
Or a trouble Is what you make It;
And it Isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take It.
You are beaten to earth? Well, well,
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face;
It's nothing against you to fall down
flat,
But to He there that's disgrace!
The harder you're thrown, why, the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye;
It Isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts;
It's how did you fight and why.
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part In the world
of men,
Why, the critic will call It good.
Death cornea with a crawl or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry.
It Isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts.
But only, how did you die.
Edmund Vance Cook.
. WHAT IS A LATTICE?
What Is a lattice?
That is the question which perplex
ed more than 2000 boys and girls who
took the examination for admission to
the high schools In Philadelphia. The
question was sprung on them In the
language examination, and as yet most
of them, are much In doubt about the
answer.
They have looked through diction
aries, encyclopedias, architectural
magazines and text-books on physiol
ogy, but most of them haven't been
able to decide yet whether a lattice
Is part of the human anatomy, a
board fence or a peek-a-boo waist.
The question was down In the lan
guage test In connection with the
poem, "An Apostrophe to the Wind.'
Several verses of the poem were
quoted. In one of the verses the poet

referred to the wind as "The spirit

The question was, "What Is the
meaning of the word 'lattice' in the
poem?"
When the examiners started In to
mark the papers they didn't know
whether they were marking for a
physiology examination or a test In
language. The trouble was all over
the question, "What Is the meaning of
lattice?" About one quarter of the
answers put lattice down as a Byno
nym for nose. Others declared that
lattice in this case meant mouth.
"By lattice is meant 'the net work
of hairs In the nostrils," was the an
swer of one bright boy.
"Lattice Is the pores of the body,"
said another.
The most novel explanation was
given by a boy who wrote:
"A lattice la a deKoltay waist. My
sister has one. See diagram."
And appended to the examination
paper was a neat sketch of a peek-a-
boo waist, made with a lattice effect,
