forgotten there ever was such. In fact, there never was. The

The tip given out that Mr. Taft, the president-elect, has com
missioned somebody to purchase two powerful automobiles for
his use in Washington has caused quite a flurry among the mak
ers of heavy machines. Of course, especially in a case like this,
where the president is such a heavyweight, it would be a great
advertisement for the endurance of their machines.
An Atlanta society woman at least that's what the news

her in a sermon a "devil incarnate a devil from hell." Some
people are so touchy, you know.

This is a queer world! Not so very long ago a man who had
retired from active business after he had accumulated a consid
erable fortune, committed suicide, because he did not know what
to do with himself and life without some occupation did not seem
worth living. Now another man, who has retired on a compe
tency, has written a letter to one of the New York newspapers,
asking for suggestions as to how he should keep from dying of
nnui. In answer to this letter, which was published by the ac
commodating editor, a perfect flood of suggestions has been sent
in for publication in the same paper. Some of these suggestions
are serious and fairly sensible, but most of them are too silly to
deserve consideration. The poor rich man deierves universal
sympathy. He supplies one of the most powerful arguments in
favor of a college education. If that retired merchant had had
the advantages of a college education he would not lack some
thing to fill his life's sunset days; there is always baseball, foot
ball and boat-racing to interest a college man.
The Providence Journal, a leading Republican paper of New
England, says of Oregon's senatorial situation: "An unusual
situation exists in Oregon, where Senator Fulton, Republican,
whose term expires next March, and who desires to be re-elected,
is opposed by Governor Chamberlain, Democrat. Mr. Cham
berlain won in the senatorial primaries last June, and is entitled
to the offico by virtue of the fact that a majority of the members
chosen to the new legislature pledged themselves to vote for the
candidate reoeiving the largest primary poll. Of course, the Re
publicans are irritated at the existence of a Republican legisla
tive majority, whose hands are tied by such an ante-election
agreement, and ways are being sought to prevent the fruits of
his triumph from being enjoyed by the popular governor. The
.scheme, however, deserves to fail, and probably will fail. Ore
gon is a Republican state, but it cannot afford to go back on its
word for the sake of keeping a Republican senator at Washington."
One of the chief features of the American Playground Con
gress, held in New York last week, was the spirited attack of a
young Cincinnati woman, Miss Maud Summers, on the comic sec
tions of the Sunday papers. Miss Summers, one of the best
known story-tellers for children, was vigorously applauded when
she declared that in the papers emphasis was placed on deceit,
on cunning and on disrespect for gray hairs. "The comic supple
ment of the Sunday newspaper is lowering the standard of liter
ary appreciation," said she, "and debasing the morals of the
children in this country. It teaches children to laugh when boys
throw water from an upper window upon an apple woman or out
wit an old and infirm man. Humor has its place in the literature
of childhood, and it would be well if gifteoj writers for children
could be found capable of substituting genuine fun for the coarse
vulgar type now so prominent."
Flirting is going to come high in St. Louis if the $1000 fine
imposed on a man for indulging therein is to be made a prece
dent. Blinders may have to be worn in that town by men sus
ceptible to the goo-goo thing from the peaches.
"Joe" Cannon chuckles a few chucks and winks the off eye
whenever asked if he expects administration opposition to his
election as speaker of the next house. And why wouldn't he,
when he has got the thing nailed down?
If Governor Johnson subscribes to a clipping agency, he must
be convinced that he is the most watched man in the country, if
the editorial injunctions of "keep your eye on Johnson," or words
to that effect, are being obeyed.
There is more building on a large scale assured for Eugene
next year than ever before in the history of the city. In fact it
seems as if the winter season will scarcely retard operations at
all.

WATTS FORI!.
The pastor of the Second Reformed Church in Jersey City
gives out an interesting story of what he considers the efficiency
of prayer. A woman of seventy-five was desperately sick about
one month before the last election and there seemed little hope
that she would live long enough to find out who was elected
president. As she was greatly interested in the outcome of the
election, she asked the members of her family to join her in
prayer, that she might live long enough to see Mr. Taft elected.
Her prayer was granted. She actually lived until the Friday af
ter the election. The story is quite touching, but, without irrev
erence, one cannot help wondering whether her prayer would
have been granted had she asked to live until Bryan was elected.
If she had, what a long life the devout woman would have had
before her, and what a mistake she made that she did not try it
if she really loved this life.
It has been suggested that John D. Rockefeller write a book
giving his autobiography, and it is reported that John D. did not
purn the suggestion of the publisher. That would, indeed, be
uu excellent thing. Judging from his statements at different
times concerning his connection with the Standard Oil trust md
relating to tno metnoiis or that organization Mr. Rockefel'
