WATERsoN FAVoRs REFORMS.
At the National Editorial associa-
ton held at st. Louis Colonel Henry
Watterson, of Louisville, on "The
Editorial Page" said in part:
"The editorial page is valuable in
the degree that 1t aids the reader to
digest the news It should either be
reformed or abandoned, Under a GER
tain spell which has crept upon the
modern newspaper it is becoming, If
it has not already become, a rather
useless appendage-not even orna-
mental.
"Dizinterestedness being the soul,
good humor is the solar system of
the editorial page, which should be
held subject to these precepts:
Write of a man nothing you would
not say to his face, and might not
say in the hearing of decent people
avoid equally intimation and in
timidation, making no suggestions
you are not prepared to reduce to
assertion and to sustain with proof.
Satire should keep within the
bounds of the probable; wit under
the restraint of sense, and even in
vectiYe-shorn of adjective and adj
verb, and stripped to the waist
should strike out from the shoulder
to hit only above the belt.
"The pert paragraph should be al
lowed to die natural death. No
flowers.
"The editorial page thus conceived
and executed, thus inspired and par
titioned, could not fail to impress it.

questions be affected by the victory
of either party?
If the Democrats were successful
next fall, they would elect President
and Democratic House of Represent
atives; but the Senate would remain
Republican The House would be
flooded with tariff bills, each setting
forth the wishes of a different faction.
The tariff debates would occupy much
time, but even II the Democratic fac
tlons came to an agreemnet. the legis-
lation could be blocked by the Re-
publican Senate. This prolonged
uncertainty would be likely to Gauss
repetition of the panic of 1898,
when the democracy began to run the
country.
If the Republicans are victorious,
the party will have to act and can
accede to a demand for a reasonable
and conservative revision of the tariff
If such is the will of the voters. AS it
is well known that the Republicans
will adhere to the fundamental doc
trine of protection, their revising the
tariff would cause no general alarm.
After the election the Republicans
will face the tariff question as bust
ness proposition and solve 1t in ac-
cordance with the best interests of
the majority. If the Democrats cap
tured the House, they would make
violent but planless attack upon the
present tariff and yet could accom-
plish nothing, except to bring about
period cf uncertainty, which is fatal
to present business conditions.

WHY WE WANT HERMANN2

Salem isn't hog,or even a shoate,
compared to Portland and some other
places, but Salem has a selfish inter
est in electing Binger Hermann to
congress for several years to come.
Salem wants 100000 year for the
Indian school and $4,000 to protect
and improve and deepen the harbor
in front of the city, and $4,000 to
level and grade the postoffice block.
OF course, if we could send some
young man to congress with fine
baritone speaking voice and a smile
that would make dogs wag their tails
only to look at him, we'd get all those
things-after awhile.
Some such young fellow would
doubtless be proud to become our
exalted congressional errand boy
even II we couldn't hire him at day
wages for any other purpose. He
would get the glory and we would get
soup.
What Salem wants is a congress
man with a double-rlvited pull on the
United States treasury that will not
rip in the seams, wear holes through
the seat nor taper Off into thin ali

While he is great man TO fall In

he don't trihe with any friendships

IaErIRINo METHODIST nlaAops.

NE IHtIfG WE ETObtSl bIHhOPS.
The Methodist Episcopal church is
holding its quadriennial general con
ference at Los Angeles and has de-
cided to retire FIVE of its aged bishops
from active service Bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal church, like pre-
lates of the Episcopal and Roman
Catholic churches are elected for life,
and 1t is somewhat unusual. In eccle-
siastical administration to retire bish-
ops on account of age, except at their
own request. The five bishops whose
Involuntary retirement has been or
dered by the general conference have
been bishops of the Methodist Episco-
pal church for from twenty to thirty
two, years each and their ages range
from 70 in the case of Bishop Foss,
of Philadelphia, to 10 in the cases of
Bishop Merrill, Of Chicago, and An
drews, of New York City.
The retired bishops will, of course,
continue to be bishops but will not
be in active service. The Methodist
church provides pension Of $25O0 or
half pay for superannunted bishops.
Bishop Thomas Bowman, of East
Orange. N. j., is 81 years of age He
heads the list of Methodist bishops,
and was elevated to that rank in the
Methodist church in 1872, when Bish-
ops Stephen M. Merrill, of Chicago,
and Edward G.. Andrews, of New York
City. who are his juniors by eight
years, were also chosen to the bish-
opric of the church. Bishop Cyrus d.
Foss, of Philadelphia, whose retire
ment is strongly opposed by the Phil
adelphia clergymen under his episco-
pal direction, is barely 20 years of
age and is said to be in possession
of full bodily and mental vigor. He
was elected a bishop Of the church in
1880. Bishop Malliolui, of Auburn
dale, Mass, is rs and Bishop John
M. Walden, of Cincinnati, is 70. Both
were elected bishops in 1884. Bishop
John H. Vincent, of Zurich, Switzer-
land, is 70. He became a bishop in
1888 and is to be retired at his own
request. No reference is made in the
dispatches regarding Bishop Henry
w. Warren, of Denver, who is 73
years of age, and may possibly be al
ready on the retired list. He and
Bishop Bowman appear to be the only
Methodist bishops on the list above
the age of 20 who are not retiring,
voluntarily or involuntarily, from ac-
tive service.
The precedent now being estab
lished in the case of Bishop Foss, if
followed four years hence, will cause
the retirement of six more Methodist
bishops who will have attained the
age of 70, when the next quadriennial
conference meets.
These are Bishop Joyce of Minnea-
polls, and Thoburn. missionary bish-
op of Southern Asia, who are IS;
Bishops Fowler of Buffalo, FitzGer-
aid, of st. Louis and McCabe, of Oma-
ha, who are 81, and Bishop Moore,
of Shanghai, who is 66.

Mozart played the harpsichord at

was but eleven. went with their father
on musical tour round Germany. At
nine he took London by storm by his
organ playing, while all the sympho-
MES which he played at his farewell
concert there were his own compost
tons Before he was ten he composed
for the dedication of the Church Of the
Orphans at Vienna a mass and con-
Quoted the concert himself. Through 1t
all the child Mozart seems to have re-
manned unspoiled, unaffected, the play
thing Of queens.
At the age Of six In Vienna, while he
amazed the imperial household by his
genius, he charmed them by his child
lshness. The emperor sat by his side
as he played and called him his ''little
magician" The empress was delighted
when at the close of the performance
the little fellow sprang upon her lap
and kissed her. When he slipped and
fell on the polished floor the archduch-
