What the Editors Say

The editor of the Anoka Union. G.
;. Pease, says he is not disgruntled
because he was defeated as a national
delegate, but his plea of satisfaction
does not look lamb-like. Here are some
of his peace offerings: "Some mighty
dirty politics are being revealed" Bet
ter for the people if the Republican
majority in Minnesota could be writ
ten in four figures" 1.-The Republican
state central committee should keep in
the background at the next state con-
yention, and the delegates allowed to
transact the business" What would
happen to the Union editor should he
have an attack of political anger ?

Even the Minnesota branch of the
American Reciprocity league has
thrown up it's hand and quit. Pro-
Tossing to be in earnest, it calmly quits
just when the fighting begins. If it
was sincere it would stay in the fight
and help John Lind go back to con-
gress, or help any other congressman
who had a ghost of show of being
elected and who stood squarely for
reciprocity. 1t must have been made
up of a lot of sunshine patriots and fair

HEATHER WILL BE pockED.
Work on Lighthouse Tender Will BE
Done on the Sound.

The next lighthouse tender TO 70 on
the drydock viii be the Heather, but
II will be Puget sound dock that will
lift her. The steamer requires clean
ing and painting and bids for doing
the work were called for. Some OF the
Portland contractors are understood to
have filed bids, but others ignored the
matter, knowing that they could not
compete with the sound drydocks.
Printed price lists go for nothing over
there where half dozen concerns are
trying to run each other out OF busl-
ness. A case In point is related by a
shipping man just returned from there
where the Quartermaster harbor and
Eagle harbor docks competed for some
work on vessel lying at Seattle. The
competition became SO keen that the
Eagle harbor people finally got the
job by agreeing to tow the ship to
the dock and back to Seattle free Of
charge and charging for the work only
the cost of the paint.
The British ship Beacon Rock will |
be the next vessel put on the port OF /
Portland drydock. Captain Hughes In
tends to hurry the work of discharg-
Ing SO the ship can be lifted in a few
days. She will require some quite ex-
tensive repairs. The port of Portland
commission has decided that In the
future no charge will be made for the
use of staging In the dock and con-
tractors may use their own staging IL
they prefer.

Fish az a Brain Food.

1t is often stated that fish ia foot
which ministers particularly to th'
needs of the brain because II contains
PHOSPHORUS. AS matter OF fact, fish
does not contain more phosphorus than
do ordinary meat foods, and 1t certain
ly does not contain II In the free state.
The notion that fish contains phos-
phorus had no doubt Its origin In the
growing or phosphorescence OF fish In
the dark. This phosphoescence Ia due
not to phosphorus at all, but to micro
organisms. The belief, therefore, that
fish is a brain food is just about as
reasonable as the idea that because a
soup is thick and gelatinous 1t will
stick to the ribs" or as sensible as the
celebrated advice to Verdant Green to
lay in a stock OF Reading biscuits to
assist his reading, Fish, OF course, is
excellent good, partly because OF the
nature of It's constituents
and partly because of It's digestlbility.
But 1t is In no sense specific for
brain or nerve.

NEW VERSION OF THE AFFAIR
Story Goes That kamm Does

His Lurline Out OF BuSi-

Never since the time that the steam,
er Arrow was lying at her dock on
the east side has the local Waterfront
taken such an interest In a rive,
steamer as 1t Is now taking In the
Telephone, says the Portland Journal
This vessel is known as the mysterious
craft No, ?. The latest story regarding
her, and one that Is believed by nearly
every local steamboat man. is that
Jacob Kamm holds chattel mort
gage on the vessel and Is keeping her
laid UP in order that she may NOT be
put on the Astoria run.
The Telephone has been ready for
active service for several weeks, but
she is kept idle at East Pine street
dock. 1t is reported that sso,0O was
borrowed from Kamm for the build
ing OF the vessel. He feared that she
would be used on the Astoria run and
In that way cut in on the business of
his liner, the Lurline. At the present
time the fish business between Port
land and the city by the sea is light,
and it Is said that IL another day boat
was put on the Astoria run the r.ur-
line would be unable TO pay expenses.

ing no suggestion you are not pre-. pared to reduce to assertion and to sustain with proof"
 Colonel Henry Waterson, who may be described as the "Nestor oi American journalism" may have the theory of journalism, but in the practice it is possible he may be away off" It may be all cor rect to tell budding newspaper man to "write of q man nothing you would not say to his face. But when a newspaperman does write something of the kind the man criticised and all of his friends positively aver that the assertion is "a campaign lie, told to injure great and good man." or else they cry out that the editor is "vinidic- tive,' or he is personal" No body ever inquiries whether the as sertion be true. The counter as- sertion is made that the editor is "vindictive" or personal, and no attention is made to proofs-al- though they be made "as strong as Holy Writ"
 The popular editor is the one who never has to offer criticism of any kind: He who prints as news items fulsome adulations such as would be appropriate for epitaphs and distributes titles among clod- hoppers as readily as a magician distributes roses among ladies in his audience. When holding up the picture to his audience Of real editor Henry must have been talking in his sleep.
