For the average man success fire.
auently depends more upon his man.
ner and appearance than upon his
knowledge OF his trade or business
or. a. one might say, Of his profession
A Chicago newspaper has lately been
noting some failures and their causes
It cites the case OF one man who
was successful salesman in q bust
mesa house In Chicago, but was un-
able to get any custom when sent on
the road. The general manager Of the
business went to lunch with him one
day, to talk over the matter. The man
crumbled crackers into his soup unit;
1t was thick, and then ate the mixture
from the end of his spoon In great
mouthfuls. When the meat was served.
he shoveled 1t IN with his knife. and
had finished eating and was noisily
picking his teeth almost before the
manager had begun his meal. In &C.
ply to question, he told the man
ager that he always took his GUS
toners out to lunch. and used every
method to win their confidence and
friendship" The manager then said:
"You couldn't sell me stick of gum.
No man whose personal habits are so
obtrusively vulgar as yours could have
the slightest influence with me. Had
luncheG with you before sending you
on the road, would never have dis
graced our house by giving 1t such a
representative" These words hurt,
says Youths Conn" MON, but the man
profited by them, and to-day is one
of the most gentlemanly as well as
one of the most successful statesmen
on the road. Another case cited Is
that of minister whose unratinsd
manners annoyed his women relatives.
They tried to help him, but he re-
scented their suggestions, and men less
able intellectually. but with moro OF
the graces of refinement in their man
ners. were called to the opportunities
for service in the pulpits of the large
and influential churches. They used
to teach manners in the old days. Now
there is little formal instruction. IT
q youth does not learn good manners
at home, he has to pick them up when
he gets out into the world, or else be
handicapped. Great geniuses have
commanded respect in spite OF boor-
ishness, but it is never safe for
young man to assume that he is
genius.

A TARIFF INCIDENT

Congressman Rainey has proof
in the shape of documents that the
watch trust violates the Sherman
act which forbids a corporation to
make contract with a foreigner
by which trade between this and
other countries would be hlndered. !.
The trust is charged with making
contracts with foreign dealers, to
whom it sells watches cheaper
than it will sell them at home, that
they shall not sell these watches
to an American citizen nor re-ex-
port them to this country. 1t will
be remembered that during the
last session of congress Mr. Rainey
revealed the interesting CONNER
cial venture Of man who went to
England and bought a great lot of
American watches, brought them
back here and offered them for
sale at his store in New York for
less than the watch trust was sell
ing watches to American consum-
ers. And yet gentlemen tell us
that the tariff does not foster trusts
and that it cannot be reformed
piecemeal. "What is to prevent
watches being put on the free list
just as easily as denatured alcohol |
has been made tax.free? The pre-.
tence is pure. Any article could
be put on the free list without
affecting general conditions. 1t
would affect the community of
plundcr, the agreement by which
all benefciaries stand together.
But there is another element.
Are we so dulled by commercial
ism that we have no feeling on
discovering that American firms
sell American.m made goods to for
eigncrs cheaper than they sell
them to Americans, and then make
the foreigners enter into a contract
not to sell to an American? Is
not that insulting2 Do not we
feel it sol It'seems to us that il
ought to be so felt. And yet we
are told that we dare not cut off
the "proteotion" that We are Civ
ing such people because it will
"disturb business interests" Well,

of the kind that Lincoln spoke of.

THE ONLY DEMOCRAT

Just one year from now, when
the gavel of the speaker falls to
call the members of the Sixtieth
congress to order, only one demo.
crat will be there who took the
oath of membership in the Fiftieth
congress. Curiously enough, this
solitary democratic survivor of the
house that perished twenty years
ago is Hon. Marcus A. Smith of
Arizona, the dean of all territorial
delegates who ever sat in congress,
lawyer and orator of the first
rank, and one Of the most popular
men Of the entire country. His
service has not been altogether
continuous, but last November
marked his eighth election, so tha t
be will have served sixteen out of
the twenty years on the expiration
of the next congress.
81 do not believe" said Mr..
Smith at the New Willard, "after
the people of Arizona showed by
such an. overwhelming vote that
they were uualterably opposed to
statehood through consolidation
with New Mexico, any further
effort will be made to create
state by joining such lll.mated
partners. The vote against the
lnion ofthe territories showed that
not three per cent of the Anglo

From Former Home.

Hon. A. J. johnson OF Cor
Wallis, for the past six years
national bank examiner for the
northwest, has been induded to
stand for the republican nomina-
ton tor state senator in Benton
county, as he expects to retire
from the arduous work in the
federal service, work that took
him away from home for the
greater part of the time. Mr..
Johnson is one OF the rising and
able young men in the republi-
can party. Of fine business
attainments, with a standing in
business circles second to none,
and of unquestioned integrity,
he is a splendid type of repres-
entative, and with his experience
in legislation would make Benton
county ain ideal representative in
the upper house of the Oregon
Legislature. His nomination
would be followed by election.
and this in turn bv the best and
most energetic service possible in
the Oregon assembly.
Archie ]. johnson is a native
iof Jefferson, Marion county,
where he was born on a farm in
1867. AS early as ID years of
age he became clerk in a store
at Scio, and later, after taking a
business college course, he again
became active in business in
that city, where he remained for
number of years, with the ex-
ception of year in Seattle,
where he was engaged in real
estate business. Returning to
Scio, he engaged in merchandise
ing and banking, and while there
was elected to the Oregon legisla-
/, ture as senator for Linn county
in 1895. He was an active and
influential member of the senate
for four years, and some of the
best laws bear his name as author.
In 1897 he introduced bill fol
taxing foreign companies, which
failed of passage for the reason
THAT the lower house did not or.
lganize. He has been member
