BUSINESS VERSUS POLITICS It is still an open question whether the American people care more about politics than they do about business and indus tries. Partisan politics appeals to many people and a few make money out of it, but the multi tude must depend on payrolls and business under any administra tion. Whether one man is elect ed to an office or another is not of as much consequence to the average citizen as the founding of a new industry or building a new railroad. Radical advocates of collectivism or individualism are willing to sacrifice all else to carry their particular theory into effect, but prosperity depends on use of both systems. Public ownership and private capita are not antagonistic only when used to destroy each other, and then the loss falls on the whole community and hinders progress. The one-idea theorist on any line believes his nostrum will cure all the troubles of city, state or na tion, but he is not a safe person to follow in any direction. In dustry, payrolls, investments, improvements still mean a chance for the average man to succeed in life, while political activity en riches few and taxes everyboyd l he might pay a visit to Hermis- | ton and secure the much needed ammunition by watching tl e kids on,a hot day at their favor- | ite swimming hole near this city.

Cartoonist Ward Found the Humorist an Impatient Subject. Many of the difficulties experienced by the cartoonist are related by LeaUe Ward In his volume, “Forty Years of 'Spy.' " He writes as follows with ref erence to America's great humorist: “Mark Twain was another subject who came under the category of the ‘walkers.’ 1 had a good deal of diffi culty in getting hold of him, but when I eventually caught him at bls hotel I found him decidedly Impatient. “ ‘Now you mustn’t think I'm going to sit or stand for you,’ be told me, ’for once I’m up 1 keep on the go.’ “The whole time 1 watched him he paced the room like a caged animal. smoking a very large calabash pipe and telling amusing stories. The great humorist wore a white flannel suit and told me in the course of conversation that be had a dress suit made all in white that be wore at dinner parties. He had just taken his honorary degree at Oxford, and be wanted to put bls gown on, but I preferred to ’do’ him in the more characteristic and widely known garb. He struck me as being a very sensitive man. whose nervous pac ings during my Interview were the re- cult of a highly strung temperament The only pacifying Influence seemed to be his enormous pipe, which he never ceased to smoke.’’ A TERROR OF THE SEAS. This Fish Resembles a Torpedo and Is Just as Dangerous. His shape resembles a torpedo, and bls attack too. Fishermen and bathers in seas where he is found regard him as almost as deadly as the torpedo and far more common in peaceful wa ters. Fishermen and fish alike are enemy to him. and he will attack with a ferocity surpassing even the shark. He’s called the barracuda. His body is long and round, and his head pointed. His wide mouth bristles with large, sharp teeth. There are more than a dozen varieties scattered over the oceans, all of them fierce and hungry. Sometimes they grow to a length of six to eight feet These giants are the ones dreaded by the fishermen. Even when they bava him fast on the end of a hook and Une he’s a veritable load of dynamite and will attack and bite and snap at the hands that are haul ing him in. Fishermen have to guard against poisoned flesh in the barracuda. Some times the big fish eats a poisonous kind of fish, which In turn poisons its own flesh. The barracuda’s bite is re garded as poisonous in itself, and the wounds caused by the giant fish’s teeth become inflamed and infected.—Phila delphia North American. Dramatists who are in search of material for a “play with a punch” are invited to direct their attention to the local station agent. Shirt-sleeved and un assuming the rural transporta tion expert possesses neverthe less all the elements of humor, grit and energy which go to form our conception of American character. In Frank Woughter the romance of railroading finds expression. He is the reception committee that greets the stran ger on the platform. He is the town directory and the informa tion bureau toward which you turn eagerly, and it is with his assistance that you take your de parture.
