PROPOSITIONS TO BE MET The Railways are reaching af ter higher freight rates, Presi dent Taft has interposed the law, and there promises to be a fight as to which will win out, and in fact the business world is, generally speaking, in a fight for supremacy at the best. Cunitul organizes because there is advantage and increased interest and power in organiza tion, Labor organizes for the same reason and as each organ ization is swayed by self inter est, friction results, and as each is moved upon by the same spirit, that of self interest or self ishness, where will the strife end or when will equity be reached? .1 . 1 in commerce there are the "Bulls" and the "Hears" and the principle of their contention pervades the whole business fab ric. If the price of labor rises, then the cost of production is increased und other problems in the business structure must be adjusted to keep pace with the industrial procession, so that the march of change still creeps on with ever widening breach of dissatisfaction. Government was instituted that order and equity might re sult to the governed, but we find that under the protection of even the best governments other organizations arise whoso sole purpose is to get gain, and some of these organizations have be come so strong that they can al most, if not quite, force the gov ernment under which they were organized, to comply with their desires. In the case of our own gov ernment there are aggregations of men operating together under its rule whose combined influ ence can bring about almost any condition they choose to inaug urate either to increase en terprise, or to curtail business and throw labor out of employ ment, and by the exercise of their power the administration is forced to do that which it should not do, in order to re lieve distress of the laboring classes. There are indications now that there will be a light of this nature on if President Taft insists in pursuing the course he has started upon with the railroad interests. Great aggregations of wealth can sway conditions, bring on financial stringency and panics, but there is one thing they can not control and that is the tem perament of the people who suf fer from these changes, and hence they cannot tell how far their influence will reach, nor the harm that may ensue when they use it to inaugurate evil tendencies. Self interest is a wedge that continually widens the differ ences between capital and labor; it has no dividing line of equity and when the principle has been fed and augmented into greed, its possessor stops at nothing short of achieving the desired end, which end is clearly under- stood to be all the wealth it is possible for him to become pos sessor of. Every cause produces an ef fect and the end is reached by the reaction caused by the effect. Justice must some time be meted out and equity sit in its place, but what shall intervene between now and its establishment? The Albany Herald has changed management, W. A. Shewman, its former publisher, having disposed of the plant to C. Clinton Page, who has taken possession. The Herald, under its new management, gives prom ise of increased usefulness in the newspaper field. This is Rose Festival Week in Portland, but Portland is not the only rose growing district in Oregon, for North, South, East and West roses, all over Ore gon, delight the eye and fill the air with their fragrance, but per haps the Willamette Valley is first in their production as it is the natural home of the rose. STRONG PULSE BEATS. Catti In Which They Arc Perceptible to the Eye. "It la not such au uncommon thing," said a physician, "to tit id a person whose pulse bents can be plainly seen, and yet I suppose there are but few outside of the profession who realize the fact In most persons the beat of the pulse cnuuot be perceived, but the mere fact that the beating is percepti ble does not mean that the pulse is other than normal. 1 have come across a number of cases where the throbbing of the wrist could be plainly seen, and yet the persons rarely gave evidence of abnormality In temperature. They were rarely feverish and were In good physical condition generally. Pulses of this kind, from this view, which Is based upon actual observations of cases, do not Indicate anything more than un abnormal physical condition In the formation of the wrist veins. "1 have met with one case which was possibly 11 little extraordinary la that It wax plainer and much more distinct than any I had ever seen before. It could almost be heard. The artery would rise to n point almost as large as the ball of the little linger of a child and would change from the white of the xktu to a blood purple with each beat of the pulse. I found It easy to couut the pulse beats without touching the patient's wrist 1 could see plainly enough to keep the record, and In order not to err lu my calcula tion I tested It in several ways and found It was correct and that there was no mistake In my countiug with the naked eye." THE ARTIST WON. Hie Nerve and Hie Drawing Combined Made the Editor Meek. The editor had given the artist an onler to Illustrate the story and had drawn a rough diagram of the kind of sketch he wanted. It must show a deer vaulting In a high leap over a clump ot bushes. The artist read the manuscript, made the picture and sent It In. It was well done. The deer was a magnificent fellow, with a pair of antlers that the most ambitious buck might well be proud of. The editor took one look at the drawing and then In disgust returned It to the artist with a letter stating that the figure must be redrawn becatiKe "the story plainly states that the buck was a yearling, consequently be would have had ouly spike horns and not the kind of antlers you have depicted." The artist was not. however, dis mayed. He stood pat for antlers. With courage born of Immovable conviction he returned the drawlug unaltered to the editor and wired him: "Composi tion demands antlers. Change manu script to three-year-old buck.' H The editor was struck so dumb by this man If est a tion of nerve that be actually took time to study the draw ing. Be let bis Imagination picture the spike buck Instead of the majestic antlered beauty and meekly decided that the artist knew a thing or two. so the editorial blue pencil was brought Into requisition, the buck gain ed two years In a less number of min utes, and the periodical lost nothing by the change. New York Press. Little Worriei. In Chesterton's "Tremeudous Trifles" is this: A friend ot mine who was vis iting a poor woman in bereavement and casting about for some phrase of cousolatlon that should not be either Insolent or weak said at last: "I think one can live through these great sor rows and even be the better. What wears one Is the little worries." 'That's quite right, mum." answered the old woman, with emphasis, "and I ought to know, seeing I've had ten of 'em."
