Under som A conditions It is the muscles which art first exhausted, the brain and nerv cell Tf-mainlng' relatively freshi. While the nerve fibers themselves, the f unc tSon of which is to conduct tmpresslona recent experiments show to be bardlv more subject to fatigue than an ele? trie wire. The worst, and. no doubt most common, type of fa.tlg-ue is nerve- - fas. and this Is easiest caused by care "worry, anxiety or by doing; work to which there is no sest, bat rather re Iugnance or, at - least, indifference Hence, t follows that to turn on Inter est cures exhaustion and eonverts work Into play,: A farmer wished some la rg. ... . . . i-iit-s 01 sman stones tnrown ; into , dtch a few rods away.

"The- President' determination to 'lake the tuma'. in the approaching campaign and to send all the spell binders in his cabinet on a circle swinging tour gives promise of a stren uous political season. There have been Presidents whose.' sense of the dignity of thlr office and of th& relations of public servants to the people forbade them to join In partisan campaigning. However, ttat notion, like the Declarer t Ion 'of Independence, the Constitution and other old fashioned Ideas. Is of course out of date in these days of .liough nidertam. Mr. Roosevelt, it is said, directed Attorney General Knox to 'tell the people what you are doing about the trusts. Mr. Knox's speech ea. It hardly need be said, will be as hoitr as a lecture on 'the snakes , la Ireland. "New York World. The World Indulges Itself In sarcasm.

Here Is a suggestion for Salem, In fact, two suggestions. For long years it has been contended that Salem ought to have motor lines leading through! the rich - country to the' surrounding towns. ;: These will no doubt come, in time. They will come when the popu lation Is sufflclntly large to make them pay. They may get here slightly in advance of that time. If that period Is not already here, and , act as an agent In settling- up the country by dividing the large farms and making it profit able to diversify and intensify agricul ture to the highest nossible nolnt. I But there Is a possibility of providing better facilities than we now have, fian Jose. CaU has no suburban motor lines, though, several points of great Interest to tourists are located near that city. and the surrounding" countr is a rich one and well settled. " Some of the bus iness men -of that city,, at the sugges tion of the San Jose Mercury, are con templating- the establishment of auto mobile lines to the various places of resort " within Hen, ' twenty or more miles of that city. ; Such lines would be a good thing here. But the second suggestion' is even more important. In order to make the automobile lines successful It would be 'necessary for us to have better roads leading Into the city. Wi need these anyway, and there is growing sentiment in favor of them, as evidenced '-by the -crushed roclc highway from tbe southern suburbs to Liberty. ' Good i roads' and automobile lines would make Ealeiq a much better busi ness town.' They would Increase the business of motor lines, when these come..- , BEET 8UGAR EXPANSION. Wisconsin reports the first fruits of the practical failure to reduce the Tar Iff on Cuban sugar through the lnstru mentality of a so-called v reciprocity measure. .We have the announcement from Milwaukee that the Wisconsin Sugar Company has. closed contracts with citizens' committees . from nine counties, whereby the comoanv asree to build a beet sugar factory In each I county.

'SOME FUN AHEAP. ' There is roina- to be some fun la New York Clty Democratic ' polltici There is already some fun. William J S.

He Is opposed by the-Tammany leaders, but he proposes to, give them "a race for their money."; Mr.-Devery Is rich. He. Is Influen tial. He has plenty of leisure. He is not afraid to use his money to accom plish his object. The primaries will be hell on September lfrth but Mr. Devery is taking time by the forelock. He Is not off at the ocean beach en joying himself, but he Is on the con trary contributing to the enjoyment of the people whose help he solicits to aid him In skinning Tammany In -the Ninth and from that vantage ground securing control of the Democratic machinery. Devery is something of a philosopher. He recently presented a famous phrase in this way: "Abraham LlrcoSn said you could catch aome suckers "all the time and all the suckers wmrUmei, tujt the minutes don't come fast enough to breed suckers for a continuous per formance."

Senator, Piatt, of, New York, recently celebrated the. sixty-ninth anniversary ot his birth, and in doing; so spoke like a philosopher teaching- his disciples. He made plain to young politicians the path that leads to power and to office, and thai they might not forget the way he embodied the whole in a set of max tms which he afterward gave ut for publication. The maxims of successful. men are always worth noting-.' They may not be correct; tthey jmay not be an expres sion of the means used by the success ful; the Very man who uttered thein may- have .practiced something- vqulte different from what he preaches; but none the less they are Instructive. Even if they do not resemble In the least the thoughts of the man, they show what he would like the public to believe, and that In itself is an exhl- bltion'of something of his character. If it do not reveal what he is it dis closes what he - would like people to think him. - ' - '. Senator Piatt's maxims for publica tion, according to the San Francisco Call, are these? . ; It Is, better to be, wise than elo quent." 1 f. "... i "It is better to be kind than polite. "It. Is better to be useful than fa mous." - . , .; Over confidence Is worse than -cow ardice." ' - Never makea promise If you .can avoid it; but never fall to keep a promise when it l once made."

As a rule a man who tackles Jobs too big- for him manages at least to do .something, while a coward does nothing at all. n short, the Senator's maxims are .... . Interesting because of their source. The Postofflce Department has sus pended the order to send the free rural mall delivery carriers from the Salem office at 12 o'clock, instead of 8 o'clock, commencing- today" and continuing un til the IS th of October, in order th.at the people along the routes may be heard rem. ib otner woras, ine service isi ir ui accoinmauaiion ana convenience of Its patrons, and not for the benefit of some special interest In a distant city, nor Is It maintained for the pur- I pose of trying theoretical experiments recommended by special agents. y The - - - -- -- - ----m 'I njTJ'u U II tVorbingineh Sam,l Gompere and Max President of -the' American Federation of JLalorf the larg- I myjw ov.tcitiiuu aim cuectuai j&nor organization tnat ever existed in the world, will address the public at Salera, Sunday, August 3, at 7:30 p. irarion Square.
