At the lust meeting of the Dyna­

were made by Mr. Live Wire:
“ This gieat western country ol
ours is going to get an awful black
eye unless some of these boosters
get on a new tack. There is an
opportunity for them to give their
enemy, the knocker, a little job.
It is time that news w as scattered
over the east that this is no place
just now for tne laboring man.

‘‘The depression in the east and
the glamour of the stories of high
wages in the gicat west have lined
the lalHirers here, when, as a mat­
ter of fact, the lalxir situation in
the west is as bad as in the east.
There aie thousands ol idle men
Alter you get about ‘steen grips, suit cases, baby cabs, etc.,
safely checked for dear mamma-in-law's, and see your tootsie
wootsie wife and the kidlets tucked onto the parlor car and after
the good graces have been won iti the accustomed and regulation
manner, you kiss them all good bye (with the exception ol the
porter) with tears in your eyes and secret anticipations of joy in
your heart. You are going to have a month of solid comfort—
going to be free for four weeks.
You are going to go to bed w hen you please, going to get
up when you please and you are going to have just a jolly good
time with the boys.
Here's about the way a diary of succeeding events would
read:
1st day.—Attempted to get breakfast. Put two quarts of
water in the oatmeal cooker and stirred in three quarts of oat­
meal. Got too thick, put in more water. Got too thick again,
more water. Cooker not large enough. Put into stew kettle,
more water. Enough porridge to feed a regiment. Same luck
with coffee. Forgot salt in oatmeal. No cream for coffee.
Hustled down town and bolted three sinkers and cup of coffee.
Docked three-quarters of an hour at office.
Bilious all day.
Ate light supper.
Went down lo whist club in evening. Old faces disappeared.
New faces made me feel like a butt-in-sky. Went to opera. Fat
lady with flowing mane in front. W ent home after second act.
Found gas stove burning. Forgot to turn it out in morning.
Tried to read. House too confouuded quiet. Took shower bath
and went to bed. Rained all night. Slept like a log.
2nd day.— Awoke at 9:30 (due at office at 8 o'clock). Didn't
eat breakfast. Found shower bath still running. Boys at office
laughed at me when I said it rained all night. Felt grouchy all
day. Brought steak home to cook for supper. Burnt to a crisp
while gone to neighbor’s after cream. Ate dish ot oatmeal left
over from first day. Couldn’t find boys. Went to vaudeville.
Chorus girls couldn’t dance. Went to office and wrote letter to
wifey. Took room at hotel.
3rd day.—Ate meals down town. Took room at hotel.
Wrote letter to wifey.
4th day.—Wrote two letters to wifey. Otherwise same as
third day.
5th day.—Ditto.
6th day.—Telephoned wifey would be down Sunday and
bring her home.
7th day.— ’Steen grips, suit cases, baby cabs, wifey and
kidlets home again, the porter got another quarter and everybody
happy once more.

FOLLOW ING T H E MAN.
Rev. Mason, of the Presbyterian
church, in his sermon last Sunday
morning, gave expression to a
thought that is responsible for this
editorial. He decryed the tendency
of church members to place faith
in the man who preaches instead
of what he preaches; the tendency
to follow the man and not the doc­
trines be preaches.
Not to in any sense criticize Bro.
Mason, he touched upon a univer­
sal human tendency, call it fraility
if you will.
A great leader will always have
many blind followers, many who
put their faith in him, and fail to
consider what he stands for. It is
hardly to be expected that the
world will ever be different. Gypsy
Smith drew great crowds to his
recent meetings in Portland, not
because he preached any greater or
better religion than was preached
in Portland before, or is preached
there now, but because he had a
personal magnetism that inspired
faith in him and a consequent be­
lief in what he said.
Bryan was first nominated for
president, not because he repre­
sented any greater or better things
than the democratic party had rep­
resented before, but because his
“cross of gold'* speech electrified
his hearers and gave them faith in
him.
Roosevelt was nominated for
vice-president, and later became
president, not because of any of
the great reforms he had brought
about in New York, but because Why didn’t they call the West-
his service in the Spanish-American ern Governors’ Special the Gover-
war had cast a glamour about bis nor West Special ?
