ANARCHISM ENGENDERED
The eyes of the public, gener
ally, have been turned upon
congress, while many thinking
people are amazed at the
spectacle of an American citizen
defying the powers of the
highest law making and enforc
ing body of the land. Congress
has been investigating the ins
and outs, or in other words, the
means used by the great finan
ciers of Wall Street, and in the
investigation, a summons was
issued for the appearance of
William Rockefeller, brother to
John D., before that august
body. But William doth not
appear, and his whereabouts is
unknown. He has dissappeared
somewhere among his numerous
possessions and cannot be found,
and the question, why not?
arrises and is emphasized by
his non-appearance.
Is the money power greater
than congress, or can a man be
cause of immense wealth, defy
the powers of the United States
government? If such is the
case then we are governed by
the money power, and the people
have no rights which that
power is bound to respect.
In Rockefeller's action we
have the key to much of the in
centive toward anarchy. If
wealth is afraid of an open in
vestigation, then it has some
thing to hide; its methods are
not above suspicion, and if its
devotees evade the laws of our
country they tecome an ex
ample to lead other people to
acts of lawlessness, and especial
ly is this true where pe:sons
have a hard struggle to make a
living, and who brood over the
conditions whether real or
fancied, brought about by these
lords of finance. .
Of the lower classes there are
those who are not endowed with
a high sense of honor and mo
ralty, and while they have a
sense of what is right and just,
when they see those who are
in affluence defy the enforce
ment of the law, they are likely
to let the moral anchor slip its
chain and take their chances
with the law and its enforce
ment. Rotton conditions under
legal enactment and open
evasion of law are responsible
at least in leading this class
toward aggravated conditions.
Testing the Castro Status.
How far'may the Bureau of
Immigration go in denying to
foreigners the right to land in
this country? That seems to be
the question involved in the set
tlement of the Castro incident.
The average American citizen is
concerned in the knowledge of
whether or not the arbitrary will
of the bureau will serve, or
whether it may enforce its edicts
by such loose construction of the
immigration law as to approxi
mate an arbitrary judgment.
There are not so verv manv
people who care a whoop wheth
er or not Castro comes to this
country or remains in this
country. Castro is merely a
personal medium which circum
stances offer by which a question
! that transcends any public in
jterest in his personality may be
j settled. Indeed, it is a question
that ought to be settled.
The general conception of the
American mind is large and lib
eral concerning this matter of
asylum, even where an asylum
is sought, which does not appear
to be the fact in Castro's case.
American tradition, teaching
and principle all uphold that
liberality of sentiment; antl have
upheld for so long a time that
the right of asylum in the polit
ical sense is next to that class of
rights which we usually consider
as inalienable. It is unquestion
ably the fact that the people of
this country will not take kindly
to the policy cf abrogating this
right on the judgment of a gov
ernmental bureau.
As we say, so far as Castro
himself is a personage of inter
est, it makes little difference
whether he stays or goes. But
rational and bioad .minded
Americans will fail to under
stand why he should not stay if
he chooses and behaves himself
so far as the law in his Case is
concerned. It is a matter of
considerable interest, however,
that he has decided to put the
dictum of the Bureau of Immi
gration to the test, for in the de
termination of that there is much
of significance, as denoting
whether or not we are experi
encing a change in our temper
and institutions. Portland Tel

THINKS COST OF LIVING WILL SOON DROP
Chief Lively, of the Panama
Pacific Exposition, Says Prob
lems Will Go in Two Years.
"I believe the high cost of liv
ing bugaboo will have disappeared
two years from now."
Such was the declaration of
Daniel 0. Lively, chief of the
live stock department of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition, in the
course of a discussion at the In
ternational live stock show today.
This country is going to see
wonders worked by the farmers
and live stock raisers within the
next few years," he said. "Every
where I go and everything I hear
indicates that we are on the
threshold of an era of great pros
perity. "
Says Farmers Sold Birthright
Mr. Lively blames the under
production of cattle for the pres
ent condition of living costs. . He
said the bulk of western lands
are best fitted for stock grazing
and that the farmer sold his birth
right for a mess of cold turkey
when he turned from the splen
did beef production of the old
days to raising grain.
"The production of live stock
is going to grow in leaps and
bounds for the reason that the
farmer and small ranchman
finally have realized the profit
there is in raising live stock es
pecially as contrasted against
truck farming," ho continued.
"The generous prices paid for
stock in the open market,' com
bined with the work of the agri
cultural colleges toward this end,
has helped convince the farmer
that he'd better change and reap
this new field. Two years will
see the West back at its old game
of cattle raising and perhaps the
old-style cowboy may come back,
too."
SHE READ THE CARDS.
And Told Joaohim Murat, King f
Naplo. How Ha Would 01.
Fortune telling by means of cards
(cartomancy) whs extensively prac
ticed in France during the period
of the Cist consulship. Notable
sroong the professional practition
ers was one Mile. Lcnortnand,
whose most eminent client was Na
poleon Bonapart.
The Km press Josephine and
Joachim Murat when king of Na
ples frequently consulted with the
sibyl, and Bernadotte. the king of
Sweden, it is recorded, once visited
her and listened to n card reading
which thoroughly start led him.
When Bonaparte's nephew liccame
emperor of the French cartomancy
was being practiced in exalted cir
cles, for. from stories anil com
ment of his confidants, it is
known that Napoleon III. had as
great a belief in such matters as his
illustrious uncle.
'Joachim Murat. king of Naples,
once sought Mile. Lenorimind to
gain information regarding his fu
ture. The cards were produced and
Joachim was asked to cut them. The
king of diamonds appeared, and
the sibyl, after much pondering,
conveyed t the monarch the pleas
ing information that he would he
hanged. Somewhat skeptical. Joa
chim laid 10 napoleons on the table
and begged for another trial. Again
he cut the king of diamonds. De
termined to prove the cards false,
he deposited "0 napoleons on the
table and divided the deck. With
pitiless iteration the kinur of dia
monds again appeared. The proph
etess told him that if he did not
die on the gallows hp would he
brought to his end by a musket
shot.
Murat met his fate by military
execution in Calabria in 1 8 Hi.
Bernadotte was introduced to the
cartomanccr by one of his aids,
who presented the officer who later
became king of Sweden as a mer
chant anxious to know the outcome
of certain commercial speculations.
The time was 1804, lefore the
beginning of Napoleon's scries of
greater successes. Mile. Lenormand
not only identified Bernadotte by
means of her cards, but predicted
the rise of Bonaparte and her vis
itor's association with the Corsican,
meanwhile advising him as to his
future conduct. Bernadotte is said
to have been so impressed that he
heeded all the sibyl s warnings and
when, as she prophesied, he became
king of Sweden his faith in her pow
ers and in those of her card pack
was unshakable. New York Mail.
SEETMG THE' GRAND CAMYDN.
Look at It With Your Own Eyea, Not
Through Those ot Olhera.
In describing how it feels to look
for the first time into the depths of
the Grand canyon it has become
customary for literary folk to por
tray their sensations in some such
striking way as this:
"One glance was enough. My
brain reeled, and 1 recoiled in gris
ly terror from the brink. Casting
myself upon my knees and clasping
my companion about his, I besought
him with tears to take me away."
Now, if before visiting Arizona
I had visited the travel alcove of
the public library I, "too, would
doubtless have known sojpie of this
grisly terror on reaching the fa
mous brink. But as my habit is not
to read about places until after see
ing them through eyes unbespec
taclcd by literature the mile depth
of. the abyss actually terrorized me
no more than had the deeps of the
smiling Yosemite.
Indeed, that first glimpse did not
awe or intimidate me at all. It fill
ed me instead with a chaotic sense
of power and tranquil beauty and
sublimity that deepened, strength
ened, clarified as the confused mass
es of dome and battlement and
spire, of fretted cornice and pin-

gradually disengaged and defined
themselves and as the variety and
marvel of color scheme sank into
my soul a color scheme as protean
as tluit of an ingot of white hot
steel cooling rapidly under a sunset
sky.
In looking over the standard ac
counts of literary terror at first
sight of the canyon one wonders
why they should bo so curiously
stilted. It is almost as though
some pioneer word painter of the
canyon had seen it first at some par
ticularly forbidding moment'; as
though subsequent writers, having
studied his account before the jour
ney, had instructed their emotional
systems to behave no less vividly
than his had behaved.
The result is that under the in
fluence of their hysterical writings
many tourists arrive expecting to
shrink from a grisly inferno and
accordingly shrink from a grisly
inferno, while others, sincerer and
less suggestible, not feeling in the
least neurotic,' are slightly disap
pointed both in the place and in
themselves, for this canyon has
been just as much injured by hav
ing its somherness laid on too thick
as that other Grand canyon up in
the Yellowstone has been injured
by haying its gorgeousness laid on
too thick. Hohert Haven Schauf

Tha Wolf 8pid.r.
The female of the curiously
named wolf spider lays its eggs and
immediately covers them with a soft
silken covering. No matter where
she goes she will carry these cov
ered eggs about with her, and she
will, if necessary, sacrifice her life
to protect the eggs or the young,
which, soon after they are hatched,
she carries on her back while she
gathers food for herself and the
little ones. They remain holding
to their mother's back until they
are almost as largo as their parent,
when they seem suddenly to dis
cover their strength and, unnatural
as it would seem, they set upon
their mother and in a very short
time kill and devour her. Harper's
Weekly.
Biimarck'a Regret.
Shortly after 1870 Bismarck was
complaining that life had brought
him no happiness or love. "But,"
said a friend, "you have made a
great nation happy." "Yes." replied
the prince, "but many people un
happy. But for . me three great
wars would not have been waged,
80,000 men would not have per
ished, and parents, brothers, sisters,
widows, would not now be mourn
ing. That 1 have to settle with
God. But I have had little or no
pleasure from what I have done
on the contrary, much vexation
anxiety and toil."
