PLAYING BOTH SIDES.

President Roosevelt has proved
himself a very smooth politician by
the skill with which he has worked
the trust issue to win the popular ap-
proval at the same time that he has
retained the support Of the trusts by
assurances that business conditions
would not be disturbed. The presi-
dents support of the Aldrich asset
currency scheme has also pleased the
big financial interests and has assur-
ed the administration of the support
of Wall street. The Oregonian, which
is a loyal supporter of President
Roosevelt, says:
The trusts will take Theodore
Roosevelt, because he is the best they
can do They may not want honesty
in their administrations; they may
shrink from publicity; they may pre-
fer to offer their securities to the in
vesting public without vouchsafing
the information by which such invest.
ment should be guided; they may be
embarrassed by laws against discriml'
nation in price lists and transporta-
ton rates; but there is one thing they
fear worse than all of these things
a. thing which democratic ascendency
would threaten-and that is Interior
ence with the extortionate gains they
wrest from the people in the gulse OF
- co oo11o1 -arif ~
So long as Roosevelt will stand
pat" with Hanna for the maintenance
of the inviolability Of every line of the
Dingley law under which the trusts
have been given license to practice
extortion upon a gullible and long
suffering public at their own sweet
will. the chief benefciaries of this
iniquitous system of robbery will
forego any slight objections they may
have to Roosevelt and give him their
enthusiastic support for four years
more in the White House. AS the
Oregonian, comedies. democratic as
tendency would mean the end OF such
extortion and at the same time the
end of many Of the trusts. Rather
than face such a calamity as this, the
trust magnates will again contribute
g. enormous campaign fund to insure
the retention of the republican party
in power. Nothing but a political
revolution such as that of 1892 will
be able to overcome this cOrruptlng
influence and restore the democratic
party to control Of the government.

A PICTURESQUE SITUATION.

The public will watch with deep
interest the developments in the Del
aware postoffice controversy. AT
present there appears to be no es-
cape from a break in the cabinet, but
as Postmaster General Payne and
President Roosevelt are both re-
sourcefui fellows. nobody can tell what
may be the outcome. Obviously the
president expected that Payne would
consent to a self-immolation for the
good of the party and his chief. But
quite as clearly Payne has refused
to take upon himself such a humil-
iation and has thrown back in the
teeth of the president full share Of
the responsibility. One or the other
must take the back track or else
they must separate officially.
This has all grown out of the dis
missal Of Miss Todd, postmistress at
Greenwood, Delaware. That lady, who
had been an efficient public servant,
was dismissed because, as the post
master general put it, she was per
sonally and politically obnoxious to
Senator Alice" If the public had
kept still that would have been the
end of the matter, but the people
kicked up a disturbance which led the
postmaster general to supplement his
original statement by another to the
effect that the Delaware senators had
entered into a written agreement
trol of the patronage in certain areas
This peculiarly offensive form of SPOTS
politics excited popular indigna lion
throughout the country to appease
which the president demanded Of the
postmaster general al explanation.
Instead Of taking the blame upon his
own shouldersa with becoming hui
mility, Payne replied, reiterating his
statement about the agreement. aud
adding that 1T was made with the
knowledge and consent OF the presi-
dent"
This was clearly putting the re-
sponsibility for a disreputable bar
gain upon the president and convict
ing him OF political perfidy, personal
dfshonor and general dishonesty. If
the president submits to such impu-
tatlons he Acknowledges the accusa-
ton and if he denies. Payne will have
no course open to him except that of
resigning. In either event there is
plenty of fun in store for the political
public. If Payne resigns he will be
obliged to vindicate himself by prov
ing his charges. If he doesn't resign
and remains in official relations with
the president both will be condemned
by universal consent as poltroons
who are held together by the force
of public plumber. 1t is pictur-
esque situation to say the least.

THE PRICE OF BRAINS.

From a scientist representing the
United States government comes the
authoritative acknOWle 'gment or a
truth which many men of this gener-
alton recognize, which, indeed, most
men must inevitably come to admit
sooner or later; namely, that badness
is due to brain growth. Says the sci
enlist, Mans brain is growing and
takes nutriment from the hair, which
falls OUT
Youth has its limitations; and
some may add, it's compensauions. Be
this as it may, many great truths ar,
rive only with mental maturity. The
great finalities do not force them
selves upon our tender years, consid-
erately sparing us until we have the
strength and the wisdom to receive
them. OF course there are isolated
instances where wisdom, as if impa-
tient of a victim, attacks the young
man. And there are many ripe and
polished heads which refuse to con
fess to years. But truths premature
visitations are rare.
It will be we'll when the scientists
explanation comes to be accepted uni
versally. There are numerous old
men, who, as if ashamed of the interi
or development which saps all nutri
ment. seek to hide its external evi
dence. employing various artificial
means; and others who each morning
fight the inevitable with all manner
of lotions and stimulating oils. When
a polished pink dome comes to be
recognized as the outward and visible
sign of noble brains, wigs and caps
and perfumed unctiOns will be no
more. 1t will be an honester era.
There is a certain righteousness
in the government scientists declara
ton. The truth seems to have burs;
upon him with the light of a divina-
ton and he announces it with the JOY
of discovery. Is it possible that he
had sought long and earnestly for it
and he came upon it only after long
course of experimentation, exhaustins
all tsets, trying all things which
might check the sapping tendency
and reaching his conclusion by a pro
cess of elimination?

Birmingham, Ala, Sept 2S.-A CO
lossal statue of Vulcan, made entirely
of Alabama iron, will be the central

country, and to have it in every
sense work of art. The statue vii

parks as a permanent memorial after
the exposition.

ty is such that it is quite possible that,
should occasion arise, he might be led
to oppose rather than favor corpor-
alton by the recollection that he had
accepted its lavish hospitality. But
can the same be said of all minor Of
ficials who will be encouraged by the
presidents example in accepting, and
even soliciting, favors from the cor
noratiOnS?

"CO.EDS" WEAR AN AIR OF INJURY
Five Leaders of Friday Nights Duck
ing Scrape at Whitman Ostracized
by Girls Of Reynolds Hall.

Social relations with the "co-eds'
are one huge jangle as a result of the
ducking scrap last Friday night. The
girls at Reynolds Hall are pretty
"sore" over the boys cutting their re-
ception and are determined to be re-
venged on account of their injured
dignity. The young men who attend
ed the reception in spite of the fiat
of the mass meeting and received a
ducking therefore are big heroes
among the girls, while the fellows
who administered the justice decid-
ed on by the boys court are too con-
temptible to be spoken to in the girls
eyes. All day Saturday, and yesterday
the b~ys at Billings were cut dead by
most of the girls. Now an ediCt has
been passed 'Ostracising" half dOz-
en- boys who are supposed to have
day night. This edict was passed at
meeting Of the girls of Reynolds
hall yesterday. 1t was also decided
that any girl who should be found
speaking to any one of the boys under
the ban should be forthwith and sum-
marty bathed in "Lacum Ducum. J"
Under fear of this threat the girls do
not see the boys as they pass upon the
munication to monosyllables or less.
Some of the girls claim that these ac-
tons do not voice the general senti-
ment of the girls but that the edict
was the dicum fiaum of a small ring
of girls who feel themselves especial
ly injured by NE action of the boys
The majority of the fifty boys con-
cerned in the affair have been re-
ceived back into the good graces Of
the fair ones at Reynolds. and only
an unfortunate five languish in hope
less despair beyond the range Of the
girls sweet smiles.

Active preparations have begun for
the circus to be given by the Asso-
ciated Students of Whitman college
and the Walla Walla band. The col
lege boys are to furnish me clowns,
cloth elephant, etc, and side show.
A trained set of acrobats is to be
hired t. supplement the work of the
boys in this line. The music will be
furnished by the band and the COZ
lege glee clubs. The circus will last
three evenings and is to be given
sometime in November at a time when
there are few entertainments running
1t is hoped that large crowds will at
end and the boys promise that the en-
ertainment will be the most unique
thing ever seen in Walla Walla. 1t
will be given in Armory hall

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Max Beauregard is once more in dear old Waterbury, after an absence of six years, in which he has seen large part of the country.
 Officer John Bowling made splen- did capture of runaway pair of horses and team belonging to a farmer yester- day afternoon about 2:3O. The horses became frightened on North Riverside street and ran at lightning clip onto Bank street, where they were captured by the officer before they did any dam age.
 "A. 0. Walker, the druggist, has a number of fountain syringes that are slightly shopworn but guaranteed to be in perfect order that he will sell at half price. Remember, these are practically just as good as new, for you don't want them as ornaments for your parlor. Also remember that the supply is limited, and first come, first served.
