THEIR WAY'S SEEM PARTED For years and years a noted pair, By friendship bound together, Stood side by side in public life In calm or stormy weather. The one stood at the nation's head, The other, sure, was ready, When time to act, was come, he said, "I want the seat of Teddy." He sought, obtained, and took the oath, Which made him chief commander, While former friend, with rod and gun, Sailed off for sports much grander Than those which Rocky 's slopes afford, And there content he sported, While Billy lured away the love 01 those whom Roosevelt courted. The hunt is o'er, the chief returns Amid a blaze of glory, Alas! discordant to his ears Falls notes of treason's story. For weeks and weeks, the silent voice, Great cause for wonder started, Hut now the cause is clear and plain, Ted's ways and Bill's have parted. alent to the force one rail- j (way engine and five ears, j weigh 530 tons, would exert when i traveling 60 miles an hour, if !

Atnve mnes this projectile will penetrate Har veyized steel armor of 14 inches thickness. In one hour of con stant fighting, these ten guns would require ammunition worth $2,520,000. For many reasons, the naval battle of the future will have to be a speedy affair. Each of these guns can fire at the rate of three shots a minute. With a life of but seventy shots, the monster would have to do its terrible ex ecution and be ready for the scrap heap after less than an hour of gruelling combat. Any thing of a protracted , nature is out of the question when shoot ing begins. One of these pro jectiles, landed amidship, would rip things up in such manner that the battleship getting the shot must necessarily feel a disorgani zation amongst its vitals. Naval war is becoming a sci entific contest in developing con trol of high explosives. Every inch added to the diameter of big guns relegates hundreds of mil lions of dollars worth of naval craft. These two battleships which Congress has authorized are far superior as fighting ma chines to Admiral Sampson's entire fleet in the Spanish-American War. Oregon just now must be de veloping sonii'thing new in the way of spontaneous editorial sameness, as we have read the same editorial in several of our exchanges, during the past two weeks, and as there was no rredit, we concluded that each claimed it as individual effort. We know there are bureaus that t'uruuh political editorials and send them out for editors who have no conscientious scruples in laying claim to them as their own effort, and as the particular due we have in mind is calcu lated to further the interests of the whiskey tra Hie we conclude that the liquor interests are fur nishing editorial matter for those who will use it.

Headed by D. C. Collier, Director General of the Sa - Diego Fair, a delega tion from San Diego visited San Francisco, where they were the guests of the Directors of the Panama-Pacific Exposition, at a luncheon at the Fairmont Hotel. The San Diego delegation came North with the good news that their city had just bonded itself for $1,000,000 to improve the 1400-acre City Park, and to erect permanent buildings which will be for the use of the San Diego Exposition. R.' B. Hale, acting President of the Panama-Pacific Exposition, presided, and Senator Stone of Missouri, and Messrs Frank L. Brown, Chas. C. Moore, D. C. Collier, J. D. Spreckels, Wm. Kettner, and J. W. Sefton Jr., were the speakers. Govern or Gillett, Mayor McCarthy, Gav in McNab and many prominent San Franciscans were among those present. D. C.

The Postoffice department has ruled that publishers may not send a paper to a subscriber long er than one year if not paid for, so if the Herald ceases its vis its subscribers will know the cause. The Stupendous in Destruction On each of the new battleships authorized by Congress, there are to be ten 14-inch guns. What these monsters are capable of doing is beyond ordinary grasp.

That ostriches hide their heads in the sand and think that their bodies are thereby hidden seems to be pure myth," says the London Times. Old bird on the nest and young birds when seeking to evade notice squat close to the ground and stretch their necks out flat on the sand. In the case of the young, which harmonizes as perfectly with their sandy surroundings as young ringed plover do with the stones on a beach, the ruse is said to render them almost invisible, and on the wide expanses of the desert it is evident that the upright neck of a sitting bird would render it unnec essarily conspicuous to a marauding enemy. But there is no more ground for accusing the ostrich of "self illusion" than there is for bringing the same charge against the partridge chick, which by mere ly sitting still among the grass prac tically disappears from sight.
