Mr.. Hearst, in an interview lately said
that patriotic duty is superior to party

Democrats, Republicans or Indepen-
dents.
There is no accounting for woman
except as a miracle, and the power OF
her smile is one Of the mysteries of
the universe. Two red lips and two
brown eyes-that is all she has to do
with it, yet what intimate variety che
contrives to achieve with these simple
materials.
Charles NJ. Schwab called on the
President recently and afterward de-
clined to tell the newspapers what was
said. Mr.. Schwab is wiser than some
OF the Presidents callers. He realizes
that the man who reveals what is said
in an interview with Mr.. Roosevelt is
likely to have his veracity questioned.
Sir Thomas Upton captivated the

Nowadays there is a commission for
almost everything. In many States q
commission regulates everything from
the barber to the undertaken and all
the commissioners draw fat salaries.
They have clerks and stenogrsphers
and luxurious offices and the people
pay for it. Work that should be done
by the ordinary officials OF State and
their employees is now performed by .
commission, or at least a commission
draws pay for performing it.

Portland is shipping eggs from the
East. But if the cars are as long on the
road as freight cars usually are, instead
of eggs they'll contain old hens when
they arrive. In one joint of 14-inch

if the nation is to be governed in wis.
