Greatest Benefactors. From Harper's Weakly. The President is not only inaccurate, he is radically wrong In asserting that the man of blood andmnaole, tbe man ol iron nerve, the man whose blood ) on fire witb the desire for adventure, ie tbe ienelactor oi the race. We know tbat the oivilizer, aa a rule , remains at home . The men who are working ont the moral and intellectual problem! of the age are iD the colleges, the ecboole, the studios, tbe newspaper office) and tbe pniplts. They are to be found among tbe pbilan tropisis. Moat of them hate war and are poiribltr, in the President's opinion, "weaklings and oraveos." Tbe greatest benefactors of the race are to be found among tits preachers and educators, among those who are elevating the moral and tbe intellectual standards of tbe country, who are enlightening and en nobling the men and women who do not "blaze trails." or they are tbose wbo, forced by hard conditions in the East, go oat to the new country for their own good and for tbe good of the frontier it aelf, A Shrewd Judge. A deaf and dumb man in Oorvallis this week gave tbe following ndd story to tbe Times : I want to tell you something about how they do things in Arkansas, Were yon ever there? Bat it don't make any difference lo me whether you have been or not, only tbia incident may not be a surprise to you if you know Arkansas. wbb traveling through that etate eome . time ago and stopped over night ac Cabin. Next morning when I got up , there waa nobody about tho house. But later I located tbe family and a good sized assemblage on the bank of a river a abort distance away. Somebody bad found the remains o! a man who had been drowned, and the gathering was Bubjacting the corpse to a coroner'e in quest. On the remainp were found, among other things, 863.75 and a re volver, The Judge fouad the dead man guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and fiBod him ?G'3,50. Half of tbe fine went to tbe judge and half to man who found tbe body. The eum of 25 cents was Bent East to tbe folks. Wireless Telegiaphy Tapable. Prom London Truth. Marconi's discoveries in regard to wirelesa telegraphy are remarkable. But remarkable bb they are, it iB etill a moot point whether a point can be transmitted without liability to be tapped or Inter rupted. Prof. Fleming, who is, accord ing to Mr. MaBkelyne, the oxpejt adviser to the Marconi Company, gave a lecture laet week at tho Koyal Institution upon tbe Marccnl ByBtem, tte proprietor of which profess that it can neither be tapped or Interfered with In its working. Mr. Maekelyne held tbat both were pos sible. In order to piove this be inter cepted a message sent by the Marconi system from Cornwall to tho Royal In stitution, and he also transmitted to the professor much to the prolesBor'B an noyance a Barcastio meBsagoof his own. This certainly eeema to show that Btich messages cau ho Intercepted by "out aiders." The Iowa Idea. The "Iowa idea" bas been officially jald upon the Bhelf by tho Republican Convention of that State at least lor the present campaign. The only trace of 1' which Senator Allison has allowed to remain In the platform Is a mild acknowledgement tbat tariff rates may "from time (o time be changed to - meet the varying oonditlona of our lndua trlofl," but ho 1b carelul to insert the modification that changes may be t0 kigher rates as well as to lower.

Hlg Family Item. From the Ban Francisco Waep. The latost mot of tho President's daughter, whoeo oleyer speeches are told everywhere, has created much amuse ment among her friends. At a recent luncheon a young daughter of a former Cabinet officer who has lived abroad told of an Italian cabman whom she bad met in her travels who boaited that ho bad been married twenty-five ycarB, and that his wife had borne him twenty children in that time. Without hesitation Mies Alice said, "How fathor would lovo that man." The Mi-dern Woodmen ol America are to have a week at the World's Fair. It rlll pnbabty be In August or early in September.

'I hi Woolen Mill Business. From the Oregonian. "There's no reason," said J. P. Gal braith, of Albany, last nigbt, "why woolen manufacture cannot be made an exceedingly profitable industry in Ore lion." Thereupon Mr. Galbraith ran bis memory back over the history of the industry in this state, and added: "It bas been yery profitable in the past.' Tben be extended his prophetic vision Into tbe future ard rsmarked: "It ie deBtined to become one of our great pro ducers oi wealth." Mr, Galbraith for many years, in fact for nearly a quarter of a century, has been connected with the manufacture of woolen goods In Oregon. He waa secre tary of the Brownsville mills from 1877 to 18S8, when tbey were sold to the Eagle Woolen Mills Company. When the Albany millB started np in 1839 be became secretary of tbat company. Thi position bs retained until near.y two years ago. Tbe Albany mill cost about $90,000, and was sold recently to a Port' land company, which will soon have it in operation again. "Why didn't the Albany mill suc ceed?" responded Mr. Galbraith to Question on that point, "dirriply be cause it wasn't well managed, One man who ran the factory two years lost the company $25,000. It'a all In the way woolen mill is run whetbsr it makes loses 'money. "There'll tbe old Brownsville company which made a large fortune for Thomas Kay, J. M. Mover, William Cochran and David Dalgleish. llow mucb, you ask 7 Oh. 5350,000. In what length of time? Just 11 veara, from 1877 to 18S8. Alter storing up this large fortune the company Bold tbe ftctory to Hugh Dielda and Hiley Kirk for $10,000, who incorporated the Eagle Woolen Mills.lDid the Browns ville factory profit after tbat, you ask? No, it didn't. It all gjea to Bhow, as I said before, that the success of a woolen mill depends on how the enterprise ie run A man muat Know me muiuianuue ins and outs of the manufacture and also the equally numerous details of the busi ness end oi things in order to make money." J, M.lMoyer and others built the mills at Albany after the dissolution of the Brownsville company. Thomas Kay wont to Salem and established mills there. Tbe two projects startea on equal ground. Each town gave a cash bonuB ol $25,000. Kay made money ana built up a prosperous business, which is continued by bis eon, T. D. Kay, a mem ber of tbe Legislature Irom Marion County. Thia mill ie the moBt profitable. in the Btate or on the Ooaat, and Id earn ing handaoine dividends for its owners. Tho Albany mill, on the other hand, wa'Bted ila capital and the fortunes of Its ownere. So did the Brownsville mill, alter passing into the hands of Fields and Kirk. A little more than a year ago the Brownsville faetory waB Bold for 3000. Fielda and Kirk threw away a great deal ol money trying to make it a go ; some people eay ae much as $300,000, "We've got the beat raw material, continued Mr. Galbraith, "tbo beBt wa ter and the boet climate on earth lor woolen manufacture. Our natural ad vantage lor the industry are excelled no where," Some lime ago a union ol Pacific Coaet mills wae proposed by California inter ests, A meeting of representutivee from the various mille waa held at San Fran cieeo and a coinmitteo was appointed to draw up a scheme of organization. fc'rom present indications the project will fall through, owing to the unwllllugneee ol Oregon mills to go into the merger, es pecially on the part of tbe Portland and tbe Salem companies. These two com panieu are making good money and have more oidere than they can fill, Tbey oould not see how they could profit by tyiug up with California mills, which are unprofitable and whicn;operatein an environment much inferior to wvolen manufacturer of that of tbe mille in Ore gon. Manulacturere In this state thought they scsnted a scheme of California men to unload unprofitable properiies at tbe expense of Oregon niilla, and they have aaid "Nay, nay." "I do uot believe," said Mr. Galbraith "that the proposed combination will be made. It is not iu the interest of Ore gon mille to tie np with those of Cali fornia." Then Mr. Galbraith adverted to the reported sale of the mills at Napa, Cal . It la announced that the plant la to be moved to Oregon. lie remarked tbat thia sale wae indication enough ol the unprofitableness ol woolen manufacture In California. Mr. Galbraith did believe that Oiegon milla can find more money in women'a aklrtinge and dress goods than In other products, such aa blankets and flannels From the World.

Tbe entire world baa been interested tbia week in the laet illness of Leo, tbe Pope, bead ol tbe Catholic church. No cc:eeiastic in tbe orld wields such a power, hence ihe importance ol tbe con dition of the Pope is manifest. To ' suc ceed him Is ihe height of the ambition ol the priesthood of tbe ohurch, acquired inly bv long iirvice and the display of marked ecclesiastic ability. Ninety three years is a very long time for one life lo be spent, bo that tbe death of one reaching that age cannot be viewed In the lama way aB tbat of tbe young roan iu bis prime with tbe proBpectsof a long luture before him. I his week has seen a reception to prominent Americana In England of a character to indicate very much in con nection with the future of tbe two coun tries. Tbe tie iB being bound cloBer. Taie is true also aa to tbe relationship of thi united, Slates and Germany. While" Russia is somewhat disturbed it will also eeak to secu.-e a closer tie of international friendship with this country,1 This Is pjllcy; more, it ie business. The IT. S. now ie at tbe bead of all nations of tbe world, and it ia proper tbat the other nationa ehould Beak to be on terms of oioee friendship. Well, he nations of the world should be friendly tbe same aa two neighbors. All people ehould live together in harmony. There ie-no occasion or exenae for dieturbancea bs tween the great or email countries of the world. It ie aa proper tbat 'the big nation ihould treat tbe email nation civilly as it s for the big nation to be very polite to tbe other big nations. Tie trend of the luture Bhould be all in one direction : toward peace. Big atand- ng armies and big navies Bhould no longer be needed. There has been considerable discussion as to the greatest benefactors of man kind. They are not tbe men who have done the fighting, those seeking war wnh their neighbors, but tbe scholars, tbe scientists, the philosophers, the minietera, tbose working for mankind through the everyday channels, building up nationB socially, religiously and ma terially. Brains and hearts have made great nations, not cannons and powder alone, "Die from Heat" la tbe head this week in reference to Eaatern climate fatalities. Tbe east bas been in the clutches of a hot wave, and many have succumbed to tbe element which knows neither rich nor poor. In Oregon ire hardly know what heat fatalily ia. Though the day may sometimes become hot it is followed by nlghte ao cool ae to offset the former. which, in itself is rarely oppressive, so much has this country been bloBsed by cvurauie climate conditions. ihe outing season bas begun. People are thinking of going to different places tor their annual rest, or whatever yon wish to call it. There ia a prevailing and pleasant idea that it is needed. Probably it is. There is plenty of argument on that side. And yet there are people who get outinga continually through their lives, winter and summer, in hot and in cold weather, taking it In homeopathic dosee. There is a way of securing recrea tion at home that is vital in its character. PerbapB it is not enough and does not give the desired change, but it is better than nothing and bas many elements of merit in it. There is this any wav. ft is well to always live with sunshine in one's heart, making tbe best of sur roundings, not worrying over Imaginary ills nor creating trouble, but going along Binoothl, capable ol dropping the disa greeable and unpleasant and thinking only of the bast. fhe Rest Cure.
