It is possible that the decision of
the supreme court in the Standard oil

the country to have had the Sher

restoration as It was for Ponce de
Leon to hunt for the fountain of
perpetual youth. The formation of
great corporations has been a natural
step In our economic evolution. Such
combinations eliminate waste and
look to efficiency. They should give
the people better service at cheaper
rates.
It is true that in many Instances
these results have not yet been at

ments, national,, state and municipal,
have not yet fully developed their
i regulative powers. But the move
for regulation is underway and it is

The installment of "Great Cases ot
Detective Burns" In the April Mo
C!ures' Is devoted to "Tracking An
onymous Letter Writers." The fol- j
lowing extract shows how the writer
of nn anonymous letter, that was sent
to Lord Pauncefote, first gave him
self away by a characteristic trick In
writing peculiar to telegraph . opera
tors: "To one who is accustomed to trac
ing the authorship of anonymous let
ters, it is a familiar fact that when
a person undertakes to write an
anonymous letter he starts out with
the intention of disguising his hand
writing but that as he proceeds re
turns to his normal manner of writ
ing. He may catch himself at this,
and resume his disguised hand; but
ho is sure to Incorporate some of his
peculiar characteristics in the letter,
through which it Is possible to Identi
fy him. It was so in this case. We
were able to determine, from an oc
casional Joining of the words, which
is peculiar to telegraph operators,
that the wr'ter was probably an op
erator." After this first fact was determined
upon. Burns goes on to show that
tracking the man down was a com
paratively easy task.

fourteenth trip .across Executive ave
nue to be conferred with for the 34th
time some one told him of an ac
quaintance who had sold his political
birthright for "a mess of pottage."."
"You don's say," cammented the
secretary, with a smile playing about
the corners of his mouth. "Well, I

the political caldron, busy with a pot

A SOBER PROGRESSIVE.
Last week the people of Oregon
had the good fortune of hearing at
first hand from one of the truly big
men of the day and a man who is re
garded by many is being directly inPnrn ad the public will be the gainer
bv the change. But to try to abolish
une tor me presidency. He is now
touring the country not especially
to advance his candidacy but in a
dignified way to show the people what
he is and what he stands for so they
may Judge Intelligently of his fitness
for the high office to which he as
pires. Woodrow Wilson1 is a most admir
able type. He is a scholar but one
who combines the ideal with the ac
tual. He is a master of political sci
ence and of logic. But he knows that
government in a republic such as ours
la not an exact science and that
sometimes good sense and logic may
be at variance. This republic 's a
throbbing organism that is swayed to
and fro by conflicting Interests and
ccnflicting ideas. The end desired is
healthy, well balanced growth, and
no one thing can produce this result
nor can it come all at once. It mus
come by evolution and to force the
growth would be as unwise as to re
tard It.
The most conspicuous characteris
tics of Woodrow Wilson are his clear
sightedness, his simplicity and his
courageous frankness. He is a man
of courage but his courage is of a
different order from that of Roose
velt. Wilson is one who knows and
knows that he knows. He feels he
Is right and is willing to go forward
fearlesHly. He is a fighter but he is
one who fights because he thinks he
Is right not merely because he wants
to win. If he strove for anything but
the truth and the country's welfare
he would be a Samson shorn of h's
power.
Governor Wilson i.-i a democrat 'in
the l-iif si-list of the w.rJ. He believes
in the peuple and in the rule 'if the
people. IK- lias faith in the public
anj opposes the rule of the patricians.
The :;;iuiiliy whieh he fears is the
in;n i-.y of the rich and r.nl of the
pour. In his Portland speeches he
pointed out the reasons f'.r his vb ws
and "he illl U so clenriy, f'U'db!;
an. 3 uitii such tincerity that none
who heard could fill to understand.
Even the patrii ians understood and
were forced to applaud though for
selfish reasons they oppose him.
Naturally the people of tills stuto
wished to know what Wilson think
of the Oregon system. He told them.
He upholds the Oregon system for he
knows that It looks to restoring the
ovtrlgnty of the people Lhat
some agency Is needed to revive pop
ular govi rnmtnt in this republic.
But while endorsing our reforma
tive methods he also sees the faults
or the system and he pointed them
out. But he did so with a friendli
ness and sincerity that took the sting
of criticism away. To Governor
Wilson it seems a mistake to apply
the recall to the Judiciary. He ad
mits the logic of applying the recall
to Judges but he questions the good
sense of such a course. He sees the
need of brakes to stay the people in
their impatience.
It la his sober Judgment coupled
with his progressive tendencies that
makes Governor Wilson such a form
idable candidate for president He
the trusts would be like trying 'to
stop time by turning back the hands
of the clock.
The revolution is at an end In Mexi
co yet there seems to be about as
much fighting as ever.

thing of the past and the Pioneer's

WORD .UtiC.UXU 11Y KNOX.
It was during the days when th
president was wrestling with
message. It seemed as if unexpected
kinks would occur after parifgraph
upon paragraph had been carefully
"ironed out." and then something
else would .appear to open the forms
ngain more reports would be needed
and more information from the dif
ferent departments. The slogan
seemed to be "Curtail! Curtail!" un
til it seemed as If things would never
"come right."
But during all the trying period
Secretary Knox could not lose his
T1IK ANKLET.
The anklet Is the latest In Chicago.
Mrs. Harold F. McCormlck, daugh
ter of John D. Jlockefeller, has set
the newest fashion. She sometimes
wears five strands of beaten gold,
adorned w'th gold bangles, about one
of her angles.
The anklet Is of gold plain gold.
There Is not a single Jewel In It. It
Is a style of Mrs. McCormlck's own
Invention. No locnl Jewelrs have had
the ornament In stock as yet, so far
as could be learned.
"Ah. yes, Mrs. t'ormick has an
anklet," exclaimed her secretary.
"She has It, and she wears it."
"Does she wear It all the time?"
was asked.
"Ah, no; only on special occasions,"
was the reply.
i pon which ankle does she wear
It?"
"Mrs. McCormlck does not wish t$
discuss It."
Mrs. McCormick would not say
whether she bought the anklet In
Suez or whether a report Is true that
a friend sent it to her from Cairo last
month. Also Mrs. McCormick de
clined to admit that she had launched
a new fashion In Chicago. She d:d
