THE KSOCKKH The "Knocker" is a jorsoiiue frequently met with, us eueh city, town, v i i hi lto or hamlet usually! nt'for.ls iis specimen, aul .-ouic-' times seveial of tjiem. The kuoeker. outsiile of knocking i ! not eontiued to any one Heciiu tion nor profession, as this class 1 is associated in all the walks of life. To look at him he is not iliffer cut from other lium.ia lti tijjjs, j and you would not recognize him 1 were you to meet him with t-nly j a passing greeting. Hut ongage ; him with a desire to learn the j beauty of his town or neighhoi-j hood, its advantages, prospects, social conditions, etc., and you j will soon recognize him as a! knocker, else you will think his locality a very undesirable place to live fn and wonder why he don move out. The knocker is generally an all-round hand at the business and will knock anything limn ins native city to a man's, or wo nau's, good character, when an occasion presents, and being of a jealous as well as a zealous na ture, his big hammer is always ready. No sooner are the good characteristics of a dace or per son extolled than lie is ready to deal out his blighting influence by picking out flaws, fancied or real to the disparagement of the place or party praised. As said before he may follow any profession or avocation, and he will knock anything that of ers itself as a mark to his poi soned Conception, although the thing that excites his jealous na ture may be only an exag geration of his morbid imagina tion. These creatures follow all kinds of professions and not in frequently climb into daces of responsibility where they exer cise great influence. One of the most prominent types of this class is the partisan knocker who busies himself in disparaging the characters of po litical opponents whom lie fears may become too popular to suit his purposes. There are several bright marks in the political arena, at present, and the knok ers are working diligently. Sec retary Bryan seems a good tar get, his '-grape-juice" policy ver sus wine, being used as a reason for attack. We presume that when Abraham Lincoln refused to set wines and liquors before the delegation who notified him of bis nomination for the presi dency of the United States, that the knocker had his hammer ready. We know that he busied himself with Mr. Lin coln until long after that gentle man's clay had returned to dust, his untimely death being the re result of knockers' plotting. We should honor the men and women who do their best, give praise instead of blame, and when their way is rough and rugged, lend a helping hand. ; ' if r HUM 14 .Tei.iJLttf-T.il ::v-.- i&r J I om CVmriKlt, 1!U3, ly the Pnnuma-Pacific tMlcrniitlnniil Kxptmltlnn Co.

Who Do Right Take Chances Aa witness vestndav heiore District Attorney Whitman's in vestigation in the Xew York state highway graft from (lover-! nor Sult r gave the reasons why he came to be attacked by Mur phy. It was because he re fused to appoint James IC (laff nev commissioner of highways. According to Sulzer's sworn statement he declined to ap point (laffney after a conference with Senator ( )' Gonna n. From the senator the governor learned that (laffney was Murphy's chief "bagman," that as such he had attempted to hold up a state highway contractor for if HID, -ODD and that the appoitiuent of (laffney would have been a dis grace to New York. For his refusal to appoint (laffney trouble broke out be tween Murphy and Sulzer. It resulted in the impeachment of .Sulzer by a legislature that was entirely under the thumb of the boss. The impeachment came after Sulzer had been acquitted of all the serious charges that had been made against him. It was a legal lynching and was pulled off because Sulzer Jiad sufficient nerve to decline to make an appointment that in his view would have been dis graceful. Yet throughout the Sulzer trial the bulk of the press took every opportunity to denounce the governor and to give tacit approval to Murphy. Sulzer was blackjacked as was never a governor anywhere before him and his virtue was his only crime. Is it any wonder that political independence is such a scarce article? Is it any wonder good men shun oflice as they would a plague? Hast Oregoriian. A Big Steer Through the kindness of Mr. Frank Hill, of Orillia, we have before us a copy of the Birming ham, England, Daily Mail, which gives an account of the giant fat steer Pat, which has been shown at county fairs about England. This steer would show American farmers that they don't raise all the big animals. Pat weighs 214 stone or 2M8 pounds. The paper also tells of some potatoes which weighed seven pounds. There are some good farmers over there all right. -Kent Journal. NEWS FROM COUNT SEAT Court House Notes. REAL ESTATK Charles A Robertson to Harry 0 Fawcett, lot in Kingwood Park, $10.
