ATHENA, MAY 29,
19014
The storm in Montana seems to have
been as destructive as it was unusual.
Heavy losses are expected from time to
time in all the northern cattle states on
account of severe winter weather, but
when that sort of weather comes almost
at the threshold of summer, jt is as as
tonishing as it is unfortunate. Had the
recent fall of snow come during the
winter months stockmen would in a
measure have been prepared for it. A
heavy snow just at a time when most
people are preparing for hot weather
would naturally find both men and cat
tle badly fixed to contend with it. That
seems to have been the condition of
things in western and central Montana,
and the i loss in consequence has been
large.
Persons who feel that their talents
do not at present declare a large divi
dend ought to find some consolation in
tho fact that five of the leading jockeys
have been engaged at salaries ranging
from $15,000 to $40,000 for the season.
An eminent Hctnr makes more than
twice us much 'i as the most successful
author, and so does a popular dancer,
and probably a successful prizefighter
makes mere money than a popular actor.
Ihe only man of brains that seems to
find a market for his wares is Finley P.
Dunne, the popular humorist, who is
reported to have made an engagement
to write for the Harpers for a salary of
$40,000 a year. ,
The pepper sown by the Yellow Kids
in Athena baseball history was so hot
that nothing short of the Yellow Kid
standard can interest Athena fans. This
was practically shown Wednesday after
noon when the Colfax-Walla Walla
League teams played on the home
diamond. It would have been easier to
find the north pole than squeezed any
interest in the game. To be sure, the
diamond was rough, but the diamond is
not located in the atmosphere, and it
was above ground where so many howl
itg errors were made. It was a listless
pime, with one sacrifice bit, a double
hy and one neat catch sand witched in.
Schwab's generosity has taken a much
more practical turn than that of Car
negie. That of the latter expressed it
self in the gift of libraries; that of the
former has taken the shape of an in
dustrial school at Homestead, Pa., the
seat of the most magnificent steel in
dustry in the world. This school oners
to every child in the borough an oppor
tunity to learn a trade i efore graduat
ing from the high school 3 long felt
want indeed.
Nothing could be more sensible or
practical than this idea worked to its
sequence. It fits admirably a time
wherein the tendency is to overcrowd
the professions, and encourages the
broader and better trend toward indus
trialism of the type wherein the hand
is trained to follow the brain. There
are still many parents who are arobi
tious to push their children into the
clerical and professional vocations, but
these are giving place yearly to thoie
who see in "captains of industry" men
whom they would have their sons emu
laie. rue men wno "do tilings ' are
those who are prominent in the world's
view today. The ambitious youth takes
for his model the men of commerce and
of industrial achievement, and it is to
help him work out his model that states
and individuals are founding and equipp
ing industrial schools. The awakened
industrial ambition means much to the
nation and for men.
'
Tho library scheme is useful in its
way. It seeks to make the leisure of the
working community profitable. The in
dustrial school seeks to make the hours
of labor profitable both to the working
man and capitalist. Time was when
men "picked up" their trades and
blundered through life with unskilled
hands. But tho time is coming -and,
indeed, now is when boys must learn
10 use tneir bands if tuey would, as
men, succeed in industrial life. Ore-

It is a peculiar fact that there are
people in the United States, and New
York in particular, who have traveled
in many of the countries of Europe,
have roamed the seas over, and yet
know almost nothing of this country,
I a fact some of them have never even
I. ten in the city of Washington, and
Yollowstone Park is simply a little spot
on the map to them. When asked by
Europeans about our wonderful country
they display the most profound ignor
ance on the subject, and Americans in
general are judged by their standard.
With the picnic over, the shooting
tournament at hand, don't overlook the
big celebration that takes place in Athe
na July 4th. Athena always puts up a
g od time for the people at her celebra
tions, and this year will not be an ex
ception to this long ago established rule.
No street celebration in the broiling hot
sun goes in Athena; she has a cool,
shady grove.
There is yet once in a while a Port
land sporting editor who comes to the
front ith the reiteration that "the
Portland teams can play ball." If they
can there is no one to be found who
knows it, if we may except these self
same sporting editors.
It appears that a large percentage of
the American people are still interested
in professional baseball. The great
beauty of baseball is that a laiy man
can thoroughly enjoy it without exercis
ing a bit.

In objecting to an endorsement of
President Roosevelt by- the Ohio state
convention for the nomination of 1904
Senator Hanna is not us logical and con-
vincing as he niigbt have been could he
have had reason, common sense and
precedent with which to fortify himself.
He criticises the propriety of a conven
tion of lvQ3 assuming the prerogative of
the one that is to meet next year, but it
is not forgotten that from the adjourn
ment of the Minneapolis convention in
1892 down to the time of the state con
ventions ic 1896 he did not seem to ob
ject to republican conventions express
ing a preference for a presidential can
didate. In fact, the earlier the endorse
ment of Mr. McKinley, the better it
suited Mr. Hanna, especially as Mr.
Reed and Mr. Allison were serious and
worthy candidates, while Cushman K.
Davis and Senator Quay had intensely
loyal local followings.
Today not a name in the republican
party other than that of Roosevelt is
mentioned in sincerity. Men who might
have had aspirations three years ago
are never spoken of. Mr. Hanna him
self avows that he is not and will not
be a candidate and the somewhat un
usual spectacle is presented of Ohio
making no claim for the chief office of
the nation. This is because the nomi
nation is as gooa as made, mere is no
question as to the desires and intentions
of the rank and file of the republicans
of the nation, in Ohio end elsewhere.
They are for Roosevelt because he is the
kind of a president that suits them.
And with no other men seriously men
tioned, it is specious if not cheap for
Mi. Hanna to make trivial observations
about reflecting the sentiments of the
people or inviting the criticism of others
who may aspire to the nomination of
1904. Spokesman-Review.
