THE DOTAGE MICROBE.

Oregon has been the storm center
of land frauds. One of her Republican
Senators and both of her Republican
Representatives in Congres, besides n
United States Surveyor-General and
many other Federal officials, have been
implicated and have either met their
just desserts or are III a fair way to do
50. Now comes the only member Of
Congress from that State that the law
has not entangled-Seuator Fulton,
who declares that Secretary Hitch
cock. who to his credit has RELENTLESS >ly
prosecuted the land thieves, lis in his
dotage." If S cre;ary Wilson had
shown the same efficient 'dotage"
there would have been no beef, cotton
or seed scandals. If ), cretary Taft
had exhibited similar brand Of "dot-
age there would have been no Pan
anna Scandal and maj ters in the Pull.
ippints and Porto Rico would be in
better condition instead Of being dis
grace to American management. If
Secretary Root had shown the same
pal riotic "doiage" the Santo Domingo
aud Venezuela scandals would never
have occurred. If Secretary Moody
had exhibited the intense "dotage'
that his elder associates had exhibited,
there would be large bunch of Trust
magnst,s in Jail and the trust question
would not loom up so a'armingly TO
the American people.
The Pr, sident is to be congratulated
on having at least one member of his
cabinet in his 'dotagen for that seems
to be the only way to efficiently follow
up fraud without fear or favor and
doggedly determine to enforce the law.
The strenuosity of the President has
had no effect upon Secretary Hitch
cock, and he has gone along without
blow of trumpet, or partisan speech
making. on his plain old "dotage"
plan, and it is pity that the other
members Of the cabinet have not been
inoculated with the same disease, in
stead of the microbc of strenuousness
that has evidently had a disastrous
effect on their efficiency.

VALUABLE LESSONS.

We have in our community a

injustice. Solomon was some

his knowledge to good advantage.
In the commonplace things of life

he discovered habits Of life which
put TO shame the slothful, and so
when lie beheld the human curb

who loved 10 SIT upon dry goods

that the child who has nothing
TO do is in bad way. Parents
and guardians who go upon the
theory that an occasional job of
work Will tend to stunt the
growth of their offspring, lay the
foundation tar careers which will

TIE SIXTH DISTRICTS DEMO.
CRATIC NOMINEE.

The Democratic Congressional Con.
vention for the Sixth District of the
State will assemble IN Hagerstown on
September 2sth for the purpose of select
ing nominee for Congress. Our dele.
gates should seek to find a thoroughly
rep sentative Democrat for this posi-
ton. We should have no hesitation
IN going into this campaign to make a
winning fight. The party is entitled
TO have a first class nominee. No sec.
ond rate man should be consid- red.
This is one of the wealthiest districts
IN the Unon and any man should con-
sldered it an honor to be the represe n
tatlve OF a fight. What we need is n
man who will battle for the interests
OIL the people instead of being allied to
the interests Of the trusts and gigantic
corporations. We should make good
showing in the district. If the people
want fair revision of the tariff aud a
just reduction in the commodities of
lie tney can never get relief by voting
for a Republican Congressman. Give
US FIRST class man as our nominee.

PANAMA TO DATE.

Congress with many piisgivings al.
lowed the President to have his way
aud voted for the lock type of a canal.
SO there can be NJ further excuse if
the work is not pushed with vigor
As the account stands TO date there
has been millions spent during the last
two years and little if anythitg to
show for it, as far as the work on the
canal is concerned. The highest au-
thoriiy has tod US, more than once,
that the Rel ublcan party "does
things but all that it has done at
Panama is chiefly to spend money.

PICKING FRUIT.

are ready and willing to pick the
small, half ripe fruit near the

tuil grown fruit on the upper
branches. 1t takes some nerve
ana considerable grit to reach
those cherries on the topmost
branch, and it takes nerve, good
Judgment, and "a never faltering
purpose to gain those things in
the battle OF life that are really
worth the attaining.
There are hundreds of appli-
cants for the easy work of pick
ing fruit near the ground; there
are hundreds of applicants for
the easy work of the common.

never leallze to what heights they
might attain, simply because

school fellows will be crowding
Tor places to pick around the

plenty of room at the top: there

there. The luscious fruit is ready
for the picking and ever smiles

PrOfessOrs' Salaries.

The official pay of the foreign pro
lessor at first glance seems absurdly
small in comparison with the paw In
American institutions. In Prussia, for
example, a full professor receives by
law $1,000 lin Berlin $1,000 the first
year, to be increased 500 a year every
fourth year for twenty years. In ad.
dltion he receives an allowance for
house rent. This is. however, only the
fixed part Of his income. The honora
rum which he receives from the fees
or his students will vary greatly, de
pending on the subject taught and the
attractive power of the teacher. In.
