TRADE SEDUCTION.

1t seems that the time is ripe
for a little more protection for
the legitimate trademan. In
many ways things are rapidly
approaching a crisis as a result
of competition, which in reality
is not competition but a sort Of
piracy among tradesmen.
The doctor must take his de-
gree and be duly registered in
the state in which he essays to
practice before he is allowed by
law to hang out his shingle. Just
so with the dentist, the druggist,
and many others, down even to the
man, who holds your nose and
shaves you. Yet there are many
businesses, most legitimate in
their way, that are at the mercy
, of any person who may go at the
business. The fact that a man
may spend a lifetime at a busi-
ness, or trade, and be master of
it from A to lizard" seems to
be of no consequence. That he
may have a large capital invest
ed cuts no figure-he has no pro-
lection, and his trade and bust
ness are open to ruination by the
first trade pirate" who cares to
commit the act Of trade prostitu-
ton. According to our present
laws, any young fellow can spend
a few months at a trade, take it
into his head to start, go to work
at starvation prices, ruin himself
and others and lead the people to
believe that the legitimate bust
ness man has been imposing on
them, in fact, robbing them fol
years.
So long as this.condition Of free
for alp and no responsibility te
the general public exists there is
not much inducement offered tx
an apprentice to undertake the
mastery of any trade. Instead
of good, legitimate craftmen
of responsibility, there is evi
dence of .sblacksmithing" anc
responsibility on every hand
This is a sad state of affairs anG
is worthy consideration by
our statesmen.
Why is one business, or trade
more worthy Of consideration ane
protection than another? There
are professions unprotected by
any sort Of legislation whatever
that are as deserving Of grea
consideration as any of those a
present on the favored list.

Webster's Unabridged.

A few days ago gentleman
had an occasion to borrow DR..
Cathey's' dictionary. On the fly
leaf be noted that the dictionary,
unabridged, was a gift and that
it had been given the doctor in
1880 years ago. He made
inquiry and learned that at that
time the doctor, then a very
young man, was a member of the
choir of St. David's S Parish, East
Portland. The, doctor was then
attending the high school and
had no idea that he would ever
be able 10 study medicine. He
was just recovering from a severe
spell Of sickness and a fellow
student called On him.
To this fellow student DR..
Cathey gave IS with the request
that he get dictionary for him,
the doctor. A few days later he
received a copy of Websters'
Unabridged Dictionary and his
| IS was returned at the same time.
The book was the gift of three
young friends, Messrs. Williams,
Joseph and McCa1l-all young
students at that time, and not ons
studying medicine.
Strange as it may seem every
one of them took up the study o
medicine and took their degrees
Drs. Williams and Josephi eacf
became we'll known through thei1
connection with the state asvlun
| for the insane iii Salem. So i
was that DIR. Cathey came BY hi:
unabridged, bit how strange i
life! That all four of these vouns
friends should later become vel
known and successful physician:
is something very much out Q
the ordinary.
