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?

newspaper field.
This is Rose Festival Week in
Portland, but Portland is not the
only rose growing district in
Oregon, for North, South, East

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."
