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.

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.

The Ostrich.
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.
