Phone Main 82. DISSATISFACTION. HUE busy agitator who preaches discontent is apt to be regarded by the complacent as not only a nuisance but an evil. Nine times out of ten he is an ignorant demagogue, unguarded in his statements, careless in his conclusions and unrestrained in his feelings, who ruth lessly tears down and destroys some long consecrated temple, but has not the invention nor skill to build in its place a better one, 'or one even as good. But the agitator, ignorant demagogue that he be, is pne of the most powerful elements for human progress. He may, indeed, be an ulcer upon the surface, of the social body, but he indicates the impurity of blood that, if not heeded, might Cause serious consequences. Agitation, even of a poor sort, is the deadly foe to stag nation. In the long run, the right can never hurt, but must ever be helped by agitation. It is only evil which cannot stand before it. Dissatisfaction is one of the finest forces in life. With out it there would be no going forward. We would all stop where we are and admire ourselves and our sur roundings all the rest of our useless days, until God should turn us back into soil that we might once more become fertile. Dissatisfaction is the mainspring of aspiration. Of course, there can be dissatisfaction without aspira tion. Envy, malice and the other base passions, may be the source of dissatisfaction that warps the soul instead of stimulating it. The poor man must be disasatisfied with his condition before he can acquire and hold property, tie must be dis satisfied not with his privations and discomforts alone, but with his lack of practical knowledge, with his lack of thrift and providence, and especially with his lack of self control and capacity for intelligent application and sus tained effort. ' The rich man must be dissatisfied with his condition, or else be a hideous vampire, sucking the life blood from the heart of society. He must be dissatisfied to'sit in the midst of plenty while others starve, or else there would be no princely philanthropy. He must be dissatisfied with his own isolation from his suffering, struggling fellows, else his soul will shrivel for want of sympathies to feed upon. If a man's mind and heart be sound, his dissatisfactions will determine his aspirations, and aspiration is the mo ther of all self-sacrificing ambition. THE Christian Science Monitor suggests that "Similar propriety to that of the Canadian postoffice depart ment forbidding the abbreviation of Alberta to the detriment of its dignity would mean in the United States the removal of the egotism of Me., the democracy of Mass., the rusticity of Del., the familiarity of Minn., the pertness of Miss., the antiquity of Ark., the laborious ness of Wash., and much else." It might be added that the ejaculatory 0., for Ohio, the possessive My., for Maryland, the alternative Or., for our webfoot state, the paternal Pa., the mis-spelled get-up of Ariz., the hospital-suggesting 111., the decagonal Tenn., the confining Penn., the unwise Wis., and the eternal question Wy., are all undignified, but then they are conducive to haste, and that is the one thing Americans are most inter ested in. Experts who have been examining into the disappear ance of the world's gold through absorption by India, i place the amount so lost at $1,500,000,000, or nearly 2,500 ; tons of the yellow metal. When a Hindu gets gold he buries it, and it disappears forever. It is estimated that in this way the larger part of the world's production of gold is being absorbed, the Hindus burying nearly as much each year as is taken from the mines in that time. Some estimates are higher than that given, in fact about doub ling it. . .The savants are discussing the question whether this hoarding is 'injurious or beneficial to the world, and are of widely divergent opinions. Four state banks in Chicago, known as "the Lorimer chain of banks," were taken charge of by the state bank ing department Friday. They had aggregate deposits of $0,41.1,227. Immediately after the announcement that the banks' doors were closed there was a mab of fifteen hun dred assembled and every member of the crowd was clam cring for his money. It is understood the banks are solv ent and that there will be no loss by depositors. Lorimer recently announced his candidacy for the United States senate, but this will probably put a crimp in his ambition and thus put him out of the race. Lassen peak got busy again Friday and sent a column of steam nearly half a mile in the air. So far, reports of fire and smoke have proved wrong, for while,the old mountain spouts like a politician, there is nothing to show it smokes, or even carries stogies for its friends. 1 " 1 " "" 1 The Portland Rose C.irnivnl is nvpr nnrl tlmco Vin violf. - - v viva. -V- I lOl 1 !ed it are home or on their way there, and are also comine I ouck 10 eann. ic was great, an ngnt, and will remain the i record-breaker in that line until about this time next year. WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES. TERE is an editorial from one of our exchanges which contains a great deal of common sense: "The Gazette-Times wants to agree with the Polk County Itemizer in the statement that "the cost of living" is a matter solvable by the individual rather than by law. If economy is not practiced by the individual him- self and by his family, the passage of any law for his bene fit is of practically no value. What the American people really need to get back to true prosperity is to abolish their extravagant way of living. Such financial ability as we heard of the other day, where a man refused the chance to pay $500 cash he had down on a home and ex pended it on an automobile instead, is the true cause of much of our so designated high cost of living. Though he has a thousand legitimate joys possible to him that could not be enjoyed even by the moneyed man half a century ago, the ordinary laborer of today, and the family of the ordinary laborer, too frequently spend money with the freedom comparable only to that of the man who is in substantial financial circumstances. Judging from the clothes they wear, the places at which they are seen, it is difficult to distinguish the small salaried man and laborer from the man of affairs and financial strength. Laws can't reduce the cost of living enough to provide for ex travagant habits." - Lapp & Bush, Bankers Transact a General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes Traveler's Checks THE ROUND UP.

A .formidable rival to the ice-water coal-building material trust of C'hieng) is forming; one with $5,000,000 capital, but is having to jump some high hur--dies carefully erected by its hydra headed competitor, the Consumers' com pany. When the City Fuel company was merged with the Knickerbocker Ice company, already a full-grown ice trust, the Pcabody Coal company, Hyd ros Water company nnd a few email firms selling gravel and other materi als, consumers awoke to the fact that, winter or summer, they were nt the mercy of a combine well intrenched politically. When a rival company was hinted, the newspapers printed a "pre mature" story and hurt the plan. Big advertising copy for the Consumers) company about "guaranteed products" had been prominent in all papers for months, but the news editors were keenly interested in the war talk among several builders' and contrac tors' supply companies. Since the Con sumers company, in addition to the coal, ice and water, became engaged in the sand, gravel and cement busi ness, the snnd, gravel and cement men declare that they would go into the coal, ice and wnter business and estab lish depots nt dozens of yards nil over the city. "A plan of organizing a big opposition company to the Consumers compnny may be worked nut," one f ficinl stated. The tentative plans of the new company provide for the cash sale of ice in smnll lots to licrsons of limited means. It is said that the se lection of sites and the buying of iet rights hnve been going on for some tiue. Consumers nre hoping. NO DECISION IN FREIGHT EATE8 CASE UNTIL TUESDAY Washington, Juno 15.

CANADIAN EXAMPLE IS IN FAVOR OF SAFETY BILL Chicago, Juno 13. Counsel from the Canadian shipping on the Great Lakes to the lake steamship companies, which fought tho labor features of the I.a Follette bill, seems favorable to the substitute which will provide greater safety precautions for safety on the lakes and at sea. If the lake steam ship owners follow the lead of the Nor thern Navigation company, which re cently sent the giant Noronie on her trial trip, the substitute measure will be heartily accepted, "safety first" having right of way in the Dominion water if the Noronie is a type.'' On her meat voyage from Sarni'a to Du luth, with stops at Port Arthur, Fort William, the Noronie was equipped not only with wireless, required by the new You are not working: for yourself if you are not saving money.

On the new Canadian great Steamer, fourten lifeboats ar fitted, each twenty-four feet long. In addition there will be curried life rafts so that the combined capacity of boats and rafts will be sufficient to enrry nil the pas sengers and crew. This number of boHts is unusual, even when the length nnd tonnage of the boat are consider ed. The Noronie 's dimensions are: Length all over, 385 feet; length be tween perpendiculars, 302 feet; breadth moulded, 52 feet; depth moulded, 23 feet, 9 inches. Has Safety features. Tho structural safety features also were noted in the reports to steamship owners. The hull is built on what is known as the Isherwood system of lon gitudinal framing. The frames instead of running transversely, as in ordinary ships, run fore and aft or longitudinal ly, and are supported by large plnte web frames, fitted transversely spaced 10 feet apnrt. This construction is very much stronger than the old system, at tho same time being lighter, thus gain ing in carrying capacity and speed. A double bottom is fitted 4 ft., 9 in. deep, extending the full length of the vessel, and tonnage of the boats arc .consider tight transverse bulkheads into nine compartments. Two collision bulkheads) are fitted forward, making her practi cally unsinknble. Chairman Alexander of the bills com mittee of the house, has explained at Washington that the LaFollette bill provides that each vessel carry life boats enough for all passengers and that there be at least two "uble sea men" to man each boat. The substi tute will not reduce the number of boats to be carried by over-sea vessels, but will substitute for the seamen re quirement a provision permitting threo boatmen to man each lifeboat. Mem bers of the committee believe, that with wireless equipment, excursion vessels on inland waters do not require the same safety devices as over-sea ships.
