Secretary Shaw Surprised

How much Of a vapor fame is and
how little magic there may sometimes
be in a name Mr. Secretary of the
Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw learned not
long ago. as viii be seen from this dis
patch:
Chicago, July 17.-Leslie NJ Shaw, sec
rotary of the United States treasury, was
unable to realize SIS on sight draft at
the Auditorium Annex until the chief
clerk had 20. K, az. the paper. For more
than half an hour the secretary was PEN
niless, awaiting the arrival of J. G. Jack
son, the clerk whose signature was nee
essary TO make the draft good in the eyes
of the cashier Mr. Shaw arrived in the
hotel lobby early in the morning. He
wanted a Sunday paper and had secured
one from the news stand. He found that
he did not have the money to pay for it.
.sJust wait minute, he said to the at
tendant. 81 must go over to the desk to
get some money"
"Will you please cash tEis?' he said to
Miss Minnie Cobough, the cashier. as he
handed a sight draft through the grated
window. Miss Cobough looked at the sig
nature. The name was unfamiliar to her.
she did not remember ever having seen
the man before
st is not o. KID by Mr. Jackson Miss
Cobough answered.
"Oh, that is all right" said the secre-
tary. II don't think Mr.. Jackson's sigma
ture is necessary.
Eyes, it is, replied the cashier.
But I'm Secretary Shaw, said the
cabinet member
Secretary OF what?'' asked the girl
Why I'm the man who makes all the
money. he srnilingly explained. II am
secretary of the United States treasury.
and it's my signature that makes money
good :
II cannot cash that check until Mr..
Jackson says it's all right to do So" she
said and turned to her entry book. So
Secretary Shaw waited until the clerk
came in.
That young woman will never do any
thing rash. was the secretary's only
comment as he paid for his paper.

he should resign the position Of chair

mittee now that President Roosevelt
has no further personal interest in the
matter Most persons will be glad
that Mr. Cortelyou is going to resign,
for they do not believe in loading the
onerous and perhaps conflicting duties
of two such positions ON one man.
Even Mr.. Vice President Fairbanks
wouldn't object, most likely, to Cortel-
you's resignation What Fairbanks
does object to most vigorously is that
Gortelyou insists on appointing the

Of West Virginia lis jumping about
like a turkey on a hot griddle. The
reason why he is exercising himself to
such an unusual extent these sultl,y
summer days. inviting apoplexy or i
sunstroke, is that divers and sundry

lift his scalp. In the very nature of
things a boss must make enemies. and
Stephen Benton is the Republican boss
Of West Virginia. Generally lie spends
the dog days at Deer Park or some

his trusted lleutenants are braving the

rushing to and fro in hot haste Re-

has always been bottomed on Doodle.
II The recent special election for con-
gress IN the Elkins district the bottom
seems to have dropped out, and Colonel
Torn Davis, brother to Henry G., was
elected. Some charge this up to
Nephew Stephen B. Elkins. but back of
all that many West Virginia Repub-
leans are weary of the EIkins domina-
ton Especially is this true Of the
Teter contingent. Teter wanted the
governorship. and he wanted it as the
fellow in Mississippi wanted the re-
yolver like the devil but he did not
get it. That plum went to Dawson, as
Teter claims. by reason Of the activity
of Elkins and his gang Dawson's adj
ministration is very unpopular. and
Teter and his gang charge it up to Ell
lzins. The latter is scared; hence bis
midsummer activity.

While passing through Montgomery
read the following editorial, under the
above caption, in the Birmingham Age
Herald, which goes to show that othei
Americans besides Yankees can invent
things.
Last year 27.539 patents were Issued in
this country to native citizens, and Of this
number 2.771 were issued to persons in
the south. While the southern percentage
is still low. yet it is increasing and is evil
dence of the new trend in this section to-
ward industries. The inventive mind in
the south by no means despairs of being
able to produce a feasible and practicable
cotton picker a device that would revo-
lutionize cotton growing, rendering it an
easy task to grow here the commercial
cotton Of the world for all time to come.
Last year las patents were granted te
Alabamians as against 1874 in the previous
year. Alabama's share of the years pat
ents would have been about 600 but the
negroes apply for few patents. ard thus
our proportion is cut down to about 400
and we really secure but one-third OF
that proportion.
New York leads all the states in popu.
lation and patents, having secured last
year 4,502 or nearly double the number
issued to all the southern states. including
Maryland and West Virginia But Con-
necticut exceeds all the other states. for
one patent was issued to that state for
every 1,0S7 people. At that rate Alabama
would have secured nearly 1850 patents
instead of 145.

The Logic of Facts.

There is a great difference in
theory and practice now and then
to the everlasting surprise of
some people. Commenting along
this line, the Seattle Post Intel
ligence recently had the follow
ing:
In short, the exports of manu-
factured goods under the Dingley
law, which Free-Traders claim
would injure our export trade,
are just double what they were
under a Democratic Tariff design
ed for the express purpose of en-
couraging development Of our
export trade, according to the
Free-Trade- -Tariff-reform school.
This demonstrates the trouble
with Free-Trade and Tariff re-
form arguments. They are all
right for closet purposes; they
figure out all right on paper; but
the irresistible logic of facts per-
sists in proving the precise con-
trary to the closest deductions.
Nevertheless, it is to be expect
ed that the Democratic Free
Traders and their Tariff reform
allies will persist in their claim
that the present Tariff law is
bad for expansion Of foreign
trade-not just now. maybe, but
at some time in the future it will
work out that way. It has ex.
panded our exports steadily fol
nine years, but that does not
prove anything to the Free.

Can't Afford Information.

Oregon has land script, repre-
senting $4,000 acres on her
hands, and Governor Chamber
lain is working on the question
of how to dispose of these rights
to the best advantage. Failing
any purchasers for the script,
which was offered for IS an acre,
the Governor would willingly Sc
lect some large body of timber
land and mold it for the State,
but here again he is met by the
obstruction that there are nc
frauds at his disposal, it is stated,
to employ the timber cruisers to
select good. lands.
The reason the State, and the
Governor, as authorized agent to
select school lands, on behalf OF
the Sta'e, cannot sell the script,
is that no individual is allowed
by law to purchase more than
$40 acres from the State. Less
than that amount they may re.
ceive, and prefer to receive from
the Governor direct.
The alternative of selecting
timber land and holding it fol

Reasons for Selling.

The transfer of Mr.. Sheasgreen's inter-
est in the Central Planning Mills to Mr..
Buxton was completed yesterday; con-
sideration, $500. Mr.. Sheasgreen gives
as his principal reason for disposing OF
his business here, the impossibility OF
obtaining insurance on this class of prop
erty in this city.
The cause of this is owing to lack OF
good fire protection. During the twelve
years he has conducted this business he
was obliged to carry his own risk, and
now has arrived at a time when he con-
siders it unwise to continue to do so.
In order to secure manufacturing es-
adjustments first-class fire protection
must be maintained Small water mains
and pipes may by all right to supply va
ter for domestic purposes, bus when it
comes to fire protection they are not con-
sidered sufficient and insurance will not
be reduced as it should be. Manufacture
ing plants here, if insurance could be had
at all, are required to pay 9 per cent as
against per cent in the City of Portland
for the same class.
Man with limited means cannot afford
to carry lis own-risk, and it will be i'm
possible to secure manufacturing indus
tries here under the present high rate OF
insurance.
The builders of the proposed ater
system should give this careful attention.
You must have abundance of water and
good hydrant pressure in order to class
higher in fire protection.
